From the Executive Director's Desk,

 

Changes to amend NM DOT Standard Specifications for highway and bridge construction - 18.27.2 NMAC Sections 7, 8 and the addition of new Section 9 have been formulated and proposed. John Taylor, NUCA of NM Vice-President is Chairing a Task Force that will review the language and ultimately offer opinion and recommendations at the Public Hearing and during the Public Comment period. (still to be determined at this time) The proposed language is in response to Governor Richardson's initiative to prevent the use of drug and alcohol in the workplace. If you would like a copy to review, or would like to serve on the Task Force, please contact the Association office at 505 888 0752.

 

The Construction Industry Crime Alliance (CICA) will meet at NW Area Command Headquarters; 4051 Ellison Avenue, NW 87114 (right across the street from Cibola High School) on June 3, 2009 at 10:30am. The CICA is a tool for Association members that sends out alerts of job-site crime and also has the ability for you to report crime on your job sites (system is not intended to be used in place of an actual police report). This program is an avenue to work closely with APD to help curtail job-site crimes and catch the criminals in the process. Bring your concerns, reports, incidents (even un-reported) to this meeting where you can also sign up on-line to receive valuable information about crime on construction job sites.

 

 

 

Congratulations to all the Graduates in 2009!
