Changing our World Through Infrastructure

As engineers we have a huge impact on the quality of life of those around us. We use our knowledge, training and experience to keep people safe, protect our environment and improve the overall standard of living in our world. Weve made significant progress over the years, but there are still great things to be achieved. Sustaining and improving our local infrastructure takes a tremendous amount of effort to plan and execute projects. Join us to hear how your fellow engineers are making a difference here in San Diego. Mr. Larry Pierce, chairman of our local ASCE Report Card effort, will provide us an update of the progress the committee has made to date, and what effort remains to be able to reach the finish line by next spring.

ASCE NATIONAL NEWS
I wanted to let you all know that today ASCE released a first-ever report on how the U.S. economy and family budgets will fare if America fails to fund surface transportation improvements. The nations deteriorating surface transportation infrastructure will cost the American economy more than 870,000 jobs, and suppress the growth of the countrys Gross Domestic Product by $3.1 trillion by 2020, according to the report. The report, conducted by the Economic Development Research Group of Boston, showed that in 2010, deficiencies in Americas roads, bridges, and transit systems cost American households and businesses more than $129 billion, including approximately $97 billion in vehicle operating costs, $32 billion in delays in travel time, $1.2 billion in safety costs, and $590 million in environmental costs. If investments in surface transportation infrastructure are not made soon, those costs are expected to grow exponentially. Within 10 years, U.S. businesses would pay an added $430 billion in transportation costs, household incomes would fall by more than $7,000, and U.S. exports will fall by $28 billion. The full report in available here: http://www.asce.org/economicstudy/ From a state perspective, we have reached out to legislators and governors, and will be working to distribute the report as widely as possible to state policymakers. The Council of State Governments this morning published a story about the report on their transportation issues blog which can be viewed at: http://knowledgecenter.csg.org/drupal/content/civil-engineers-report-failure-improvetransportation-infrastructure-will-cost-america-dearl Aaron Castelo Director, State and Local Government Relations American Society of Civil Engineers 101 Constitution Avenue, NW Suite 375 East Washington, DC 20001 (202) 789.7855 direct (202) 789.7859 fax Email: acastelo@asce.org Web: www.asce.org/govrel

This Month in Sacramento (ASCE) By Richard Markuson
Governor Signs ASCE Supported Lien Bill Governor Jerry Brown has signed Senate Bill 424 that, effective July 1, 2012, gives design professionals providing services for private works of improvement the ability to convert a design professionals lien into a mechanics lien. Existing law (Civil Code 8300 et. seq.) permits the design professionals lien and mechanics lien but did not allow the conversion which could leave the design professional at risk when construction commences. This bill requires the design professional to file a mechanics lien within 30 days of the expiration of the design professionals lien and to specifically state that it is a converted design professional lien and that it shall be recorded and enforced in the same manner as a mechanics lien, except the design professional need not provide a preliminary notice to enforce this mechanics lien. This mechanics lien shall be effective as of the date of recordation of this mechanics lien and shall be given priority pursuant to the provisions of Section 8450. Changes at High-Speed Rail Authority The California High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) has seen a trio of influential departures this month. Curt Pringle has resigned from the HSRA Board on which he has served since 2007 saying he is doing so to "focus my attention on my company and my other responsibilities." Jeffrey Barker, executive officer for communications, policy and public outreach at the HSRA, has also left the embattled agency.Barker, a Republican, was appointed by Gov. Schwarzenegger and was an aide to Schwarzenegger before joining the HSRA. Ogilvy Public Relations reported the termination of its lobbying services for the HSRA. Ogilvy reported that Washington, D.C.-based lobbyist Drew Maloney had been paid a total of $60,000 this year for his high-speed rail work. A Republican veteran of Capitol Hill, Maloney works for Ogilvy Government Relations, a subsidiary of Ogilvy Public Relations. Ogilvy PR quit its $9 million contract with the high-speed rail authority in late June, amid accounts that it was about to be fired. Democrat Mark Kadesh, formerly chief of staff to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, remains registered as a D.C. lobbyist for the rail group. The move comes as Gov. Brown continues to recast the rail administration. Pringle said in his resignation letter that he continues to support the project and is confident it will be finished. However, he said the project "will not be successful without political leadership from the governor." With his resignation, Pringle wrote, Gov. Brown "will have the ability to appoint someone to reflect his point of view." Pringle did not offer what the thought that point of view might be. Currently, the HSRA is selecting the initial route and will release their business plan to the Legislature in October, including cost and risk assessments. Construction is proposed to begin in September of 2012 with a goal of completion by 2017. A conference to prepare for preliminary bidding is set to occur on Sept. 8. It is projected that construction would provide 160,000 temporary jobs.

Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks, ASCE Region 9 August By Brent C. Siemer, P.E., F.ASCE, ASCE Region 9 Governor
At the beginning of the 20th century, civil engineering advances were a significant and often critical component of Californias exploding economy. These engineering advances provided more than just water, sanitation, shelter and access. They were tangible, dynamic and lasting illustrations of the states can-do vision. Moreover, these advances and achievements were very often state-of-the-art. As we approach the 100th anniversary for many of these milestone achievements, ASCE Region 9 will be working with all four Sections to rediscover and celebrate not only these achievements, but also the civil engineers who brought them to fruition. We will begin tabulating a list of the projects that have received State and/or National designation as Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks. We will also be searching for landmarks and civil engineers that should be added to this celebrated list. This will not only include well known iconic structures, but also those forgotten state-of-the-art advances and game changers that have forever changed the practice of civil engineering. One such example is in Humboldt County where the storm-swollen Eel River would often isolate a highly productive dairy community the size of New Jersey. Built entirely with local funds in 1911, Fernbridge was state-of-the art; a closedspandrel reinforced concrete bridge that was the longest of its kind. Its designer, John Buck Leonard, was a registered civil engineer, member of ASCE and a pioneer in the art reinforced concrete design. Fernbridge was designed and constructed just after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and devastating fire where reinforced structures survived, proving their value to previously doubtful authorities. John B. Leonard was one of the earliest and most influential proponents for this new construction material. However, the assimilation of the components for reinforced concrete was still much more an art than a science. The turn of the century was also when a civil engineer was either before his time or left behind. A case in point is closedspandral design. With the advent of mass produced steel reinforcing rods, concrete could now mimic the solid stone bridges and masonry arches of the 1800s. However, the cost to support the massive weight of these structures and deliver the enormous volume of material was not competitive with steel trusses. Yet within a very short span of time, innovation soon discovered the less expensive and more ornate open-spandral arch of the 1920s. Since aggregate resources could often be mined on-site for the production of concrete, transportation costs could be minimized. And once the lower lifecycle maintenance cost were included in the overall cost, reinforced concrete structures began to be quite competitive to the steel truss. Subsequently, the state-of-the-art civil engineer found a new and very profitable niche. On August 7, 2011, the North Coast Branch and Caltrans will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fernbridge. Please plan to join us in Humboldt County to recognizing this historic civil engineering landmark and significant achievement in reinforced concrete design and construction.

reporting for non-profits that have made it more difficult to operate our local section. I would like to extend a special thanks to our Treasurer, Tim Shell, who has done an outstanding job transitioning our accounting systems and making sure we meet the new reporting requirements. Tim has spent hundreds of personal hours and I think we all agree that he has had the toughest job on the Board. I cannot forget our Association Manager, Cathy Riley, who keeps us all in line. Cathy is extremely organized, tracks our deadlines and makes sure we get our jobs done. She is awesome! We still have a lot more work to do and Dean Gipson, our new President, will need your help in the coming year. The report card is well under way, but there is still a lot of work to be done. When our Report Card Chair, Larry Pierce calls, please do what you can to help out. Katherine Hon will still be leading the Friends of Infrastructure and needs your help as well. Its critical that we as engineers speak out regarding the condition of our infrastructure. Vision 2025 is still high on my list and I intend to stay involved in the Society and help realize the vision. Dolores Venturas and Philip Bordeneaves committees will play key roles in promoting political and community involvement. We as engineers tend to be reserved, but we can break that mold and learn to be more vocal. I havent seen a pocket protector in the last five years, so we can change our image. Thanks for a great year!
