So mark the date and plan to come out and enjoy the fellowship. Who knows what new prod-ucts you might see.

There will also be a seminar before the product show. The seminar will be on the new MasterFormat. Come and hear why MasterFormat was

changed and how is it going to affect you and your business. The seminar will be led by CSI’s Executive Director Karl Borgstrom, Ph.D.

The chapter has also been notified that we have won for the sixth year in a row the Out-standing Chapter Com-mendation. It will be very interesting to see how many of the seven chapters from last year will be there to receive this award for a sixth year in a row. Thank You Chattanooga Chap-ter for your hard work.

Also, towards the mid-dle of February you will receive a ballot in the mail to vote for Institute offices and directors. PLEASE take the time to vote. It is very impor-tant to vote so if you have any questions, please contact one of

PREZ’S MESSAGE the chapter officers.

Do not forget the students’ are having their giveaway. It will be going on until the region conference in May. Please see one of the students to purchase a ticket.

Until next month!

Coleman D. Brown, RA, CSI, CCS

Membership. Membership. Membership. These are to CSI as location is to real es-tate. My goal is double membership in five years, just as I did in Baton Rouge when Dad died in 1993. I had no clue then, even after 20 years of practice, how important CSI was to our firm. Dad was learning at CSI. The members offered me his just renewed membership – What a godsend. CSI serves as the Construction indus-try’s “Statue of Liberty” by inviting all members to freely engage its network of ex-perts.

CSI members do not need prestige; they already have it and share it. Coordinating over 130 programs and seminars would have been impossible without this team spirit.

Our selfless code of ethics is without equal and is timeless in its appeal to new members. It paved the way for myself and others to found the Mobile Bay and Pensacola Chapters in 1998. And made it an honor to revive the now thriving Acadiana Chapter in 2000. I am now assisting the Gulf Coast Chapter. Including Ba-ton Rouge over 200 new members now enjoy CSI.

CSI is similar to the world’ s largest living thing -. The Sequoias. Each very tall but with shallow roots all holding on to one another. Certification is our fertilizer. The more Certified members we have, the greater our membership will be. Certified Members provide the base for excellent Education and Technical achieve-ments. While Certification is not for all, each member desperately wants to assist in some way. It is our job as directors to help them help the Institute.

Please help me with your vote February 1, 2005.

GSR INSTITUTE DIRECTOR CANDIDATE

Volume 35, Issue 6

Kevin Corkern, RA, CSI, CCS, CCCA

President, Nashville Chapter, past member Memphis and

Knoxville Chapters, Gulf States Region Secretary

I am pleased to be running for Professional Director for the Gulf States Region of CSI. I joined CSI fifteen years ago as a requirement of employment.

Immediately after joining, I was encouraged to become active and I became Education Committee Chair the second year I was a member. It didn’t take me long to see the differences in this organization over others in which I had been a member. In CSI all members of the project team are recognized, welcomed, and their unique role in delivering design/construction services celebrated. CSI recognizes that no single person or group is capable of providing the best solution for the owner from a vacuum, but is dependent upon every other member of the team to give the owner the best solutions. This is the main reason I have remained a member and have continued to work in the organiza-tion and is one reason for CSI’s past success.

I have been fortunate to serve in three strong chapters in our region. I spent five years in Memphis, three years in Knoxville, back to Memphis for three years, and then came to Nashville where I currently serve as chapter president. Having been active and held office in three separate chapters I have been able to see not only how much alike our chapters are but also how different they can be at the same time. By taking the basics from the Institute and adding our own local flavor and personalities we are able to address local concerns and strengthen the work of the Region and Institute.

As Region Technical, Awards, Education Chairs, and now as Region Secretary I have witnessed our mem-ber’s dedication to and pride in the Gulf States Region

and its work. Gulf States is a leader in the Institute and I have been blessed to serve under some very good leaders in this region. I am proud to be a Gulf States member and want to continue to strengthen this region and help it continue to lead the Institute.

Building on work at the chapter level where I served as the first Student Liaison for the Univer-sity of Memphis Student Affiliate Chapter, I was privileged to serve on the Institute Academic Affairs Task Team and later as the first chair of that committee. With the introduction of the Project Resource Manual and the new MasterFormat, I am working with the Institute’s Educational Task Team to produce the new educational programs for certi-fication. At Institute conventions and education pro-grams, I have met Institute leaders and members of other regions. These experiences have given me insight into what CSI is and a glimpse into what CSI can be.

CSI is the leader in construction education, but there is so much more to be done. There are several critical issues that will be coming up in the next few years and I want to be in a position to have a positive influence on the direction the Region and the Institute takes. So I am asking you for your help. Please allow me to represent you as Institute Director and to help move CSI forward as we learn from past mistakes and build on our suc-cesses. I’ve found this is not a region of shy peo-ple and I welcome your comments, questions and assistance as we move forward and make this or-ganization stronger than it has ever been. Being Director and even running for Director is not some-thing I could do alone. I appreciate the confidence the Nashville Chapter has shown in allowing me to serve this year as president and in nominating me as candidate for Director. I’ve heard from so many of you and thank you for your offers of help as I started this campaign. Please allow me to serve you as Gulf States Region Professional Director.

Today’s Topic: Never Assume

I was first introduced to spec writing while still in college. As a young, smart-alecky, know-it-all college student, I thought spec writing was a little silly. After all, 90% of the project manual was “wasted” on stating the obvious - phrases such as “use only skilled workmen”, “comply with codes”, “do not use damaged materials”, etc.

Oh, but how quickly the fools do fall. I have found out the hard way why so much of the obvious must be stated in writing. Unfortunately, someone somewhere out there is just waiting to do something that the de-signer would never dream imaginable (and I do not mean that in a good sense), and it is the spec writer’s responsibility to prevent that.

My latest experience in failing to state the obvious involves a kitchen renovation. The cabinet maker actu-ally used pieces of Velcro to attach the fake drawer panel to the front of the cabinet at the cooktop. His reasoning, you ask? Nails would show. How does one even respond to such an asinine statement? I have no particular hope for that particular cabinet maker. I have, however, decided to include one more seemingly obvious statement to my specs: “The use of Velcro shall be strictly prohibited.”

Live and learn!

Until Next Time, Spec Dude

PRODUCT SHOW SEMINAR Chat ta Data

The New World of MasterFormat is the topic of this year’s Product Show Seminar. Karl F. Borgstrom, the Executive Director of CSI will be the speaker presenting the latest information on MasterFormat 2004 Edition. This revision of MasterFormat is the first major expansion of the document in 40 years. The familiar 16 division structure has been revised to a 50 division structure. 35 of these divisions currently have content while 15 other divisions are reserved for future use. This latest edition of MasterFormat is more inclusive of all types of construction including transportation and process engineering. There is also more emphasis on project life cycle issues with several divisions focusing on Facility Services.

The seminar will cover the differences between MasterFormat 2004 Edition and MasterFormat 1995. New users will be able to learn basic concepts and experienced users will better understand the changes between the new edition and 1995 edition.

Without question, MasterFormat 2004 Edition is going to make project delivery and management of construction information far more efficient once users are familiar it. The new edition is the most extensive rewrite in MasterFormat’s history. CSI has been working diligently with a variety of industry of groups to make the learning curve and the transition as short as pos-sible for all the disciplines involved in delivering con-struction projects.

This FREE seminar will begin at 3pm in the Choo Choo auditorium next to the Product Show exhibit area. The seminar will last approximately two hours and is eligible for 2 LUs or CEUs.

For more information on the seminar or the Product Show, contact Amy Buczek at 698-8825.

IS EVERYBODY HAPPY - ALLOWANCES

Volume 35, Issue 6

Beth Eubanks 423-510-1450

A little kid walks up to a parent and with a smile stretches out an arm, opens a hand and asks, ”May I have my allowance please?” A construction allowance should be just as harmless as long as the architect completely defines a dollar amount and the Work to be completed.

The Architect’s Handbook of Professional Practice states:”Allowances are fixed sums determined by the architect in advance of bidding, and bidders are instructed to include these sums in their bids. Allow-ances aim to cover the costs of items whose exact character or level of quality is not known at the time of bidding and that, therefore, cannot be accurately bid. Artwork for later selection, special hardware, custom carpeting, and similar items may be carried as allowances if the owner or bidding authority permits. If the actual cost exceeds the allowance, the contractor is entitled to additional payment; if the cost is less, the owner receives credit.”

It is important to understand that allowances are part of the base bid and typically are not listed as sepa-rate items on the Bid Form like a request for unit price. General Conditions typically state that the de-fined amount of the allowance shall include the cost of the material, taxes, and delivery to the project site. But unloading, handling, storage, installation costs, overhead, and profit are not part of the allow-ance but are to be included in the contract sum.

The work related to an allowance should be as clearly defined through specification sections and drawings as for all other work. Drawings must indi-cate the full scope of the work related to the allow-ance including construction details. Otherwise, the contractor may submit a justified claim for additional work since lack of important details opens the door for the contractor to select the means and methods of such work. Similarly, specification sections that relate to items covered by an allowance must be co-ordinated to allow the contractor to accurately price the complete work at the time of bidding.

Cash allowances fall into four categories: lump sum, unit cost, contingency, and testing and in-specting. A lump sum allowance is a monetary value that is allocated to pay for an identified num-ber of units of an item. Lump sum allowances are preferred when only a few units of an item are needed and the quantity is not in question.

When many identical units of a product are re-quired, unit cost allowances are preferred. For these, the contractor determines the quantities re-quired while bidding. If quantities can not be clearly identified on the drawings it is advisable to have bidders include a unit price for the item. Of course, the architect must have the foresight to request in the bid documents such unit pricing.

A contingency allowance affords an owner a re-serve fund to handle unexpected costs that may arise during construction. In this case, unknown conditions are indefinable and quantifiable during design. Thus, a contractor should be entitled to overhead and profit on delivery, handling, storage and installation costs.

Testing and inspecting allowances allow owners to avoid out-of-pocket expenses by stipulating such costs be included in the contract sum and therefore, be covered by the construction loan. In this case, the architect must coordinate allowances with other provisions in Division 1 Section “Quality Requirements.”

In addition to cash allowances, quantity allow-ances may be used when a product has been se-lected and quantities are defined, but exact loca-tions have not been determined. This is some-times done for tenant improvements or for pur-chasing furniture and equipment.

Allowances are like most issues when it comes to the construction industry and common sense usu-ally prevails. Masterspec points out, ”If the work is not clearly shown and specified, a contractor will not be able to accurately estimate delivery, stor-age, handling, labor, installation, overhead, and similar expenses. A future claim for unforeseen work is therefore probable.” There are times when an architect and owner are unable to complete the decision-making process before issuing docu-ments for bids and a completely defined allowance may be appropriate. Regardless of whether your expectations are those of an owner or contractor, as long as the architect has completely defined a dollar amount and the work to be completed for an allowance, no one should be surprised to the an-swer of, “May I have my allowance please?”

JANUARY MEETING RECAP

Volume 35, Issue 6

MARDI GRAS TIME !

John Cannon, with TriState Testing & Drilling, was the guest speaker for our January dinner meeting. The topic covered Geosynthetic Materials which are actually polymers, or plastics. There are different types you might expect to encounter on construction projects, as well as different uses for each type. Each type may serve different functions, but typically has one primary function.

GeoTextiles, for example, whether woven or non-woven, are very versatile in their primarily function. GeoGrids are composed of high density polyethylene (HDPE), available in bidirectional, with equal strength in two directions, or unidirectional, main strength in one direction, construction are typically used to stabilize steep slopes or walls. GeoNets, unlike some other geosynthetics, are always used as a drainage medium, with opposing lines of parallel ribs of material allowing drainage. These materials must always be covered with another material, usually geotextile as a filter medium. GeoMembranes can range from HDPE to EPDM, which is a major single ply roof membrane material. Geosynthetic clay liners are always used as containment mediums. Geopipe is always used for drainage, with HDPE and PVC being the most common, and is available either smooth walled or corrugated. John explained that although perforated pipe is, for some reason, usually in-stalled with the holes down, it is designed to function as a pipe, and with the holes down, the subgrade is actually serving as the pipe. GeoFaom, normally expanded polystyrene (EPS) or extruded polystyrene (XPS), can be used as a separa-tion or stabilization medium, and is widely used as an insulating material. GeoComposite is suitable for many uses, separation, reinforcement, filtration, drainage, and containment, and is always used in concert with other geosynthetics, hence the name “composite”. Of major importance, John explained, when specifying, we should refer to "MARV" (Minimum Average Roll Value) which means none will be less than specified/expected, as our standard instead of “Typical value”, which means that only half of the material must be the quality specified/expected, with the other half being worse.

49th ANNUAL CSI SHOW & CONVENTION 132 Education Sessions Helping Design and Construction Professionals

Design, Build, Manage Smarter

The 49th Annual CSI Show™ & Convention occurs April 20-23 in Chicago at McCormick Place. Co-locating are The Masonry Showcase and The TFM Show™. Attendees can earn a year’s worth of

continuing education hours in just four days.

A total of 132 continuing education programs will help commercial construction professionals streamline delivery of projects even as they grow more complex. Sessions covering the entire facility life cycle will be conducted by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and six industry education partners. The professional development sessions, for virtually everyone involved in project delivery regardless of experi-ence level, will begin at McCormick Place on Tuesday, April 19. There will be three pre-convention work-shops:

• A workshop on the newly released version 3.1 of the U.S. National CAD Standard, co-developed by CSI, the American Institute of Architects, and the National Institute of Building Sciences. It is a standard for organizing and presenting CAD drawings to aid communication of graphic information among everyone involved in building project delivery. The new version’s structure is aligned with the 2004 edition of Mas-terFormat.

• The MasterSpec Academy, conducted by master specifications systems provider ARCOM. The academy will focus on SPECWARE and MASTERWORKS.

• A program to train people as accredited instructors of the recently released MasterFormat 2004 Edition, the much-expanded new version of the predominant U.S.-Canadian standard for organizing project infor-mation and specifications.

A Year of Education Credits in Four Days

With more than 130 professional development opportunities in Chicago, attendees can acquire in just four days an entire year’s worth of continuing education credits to maintain licenses and certifications. Paid reg-istrants attending The CSI Show & Convention’s education program receive on site a free copy of Master-Format 2004 Edition, a $159 value. Contributing content to the continuing education program in Chicago are six top education partners:

• Specifications Consultants in Independent Practice.
