SUMMARY:The 50-Year Old NEPA Gets a Facelift: How Different Does It Look?
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, July 19\, 2023\, 1:30 – 3:00 PM (Eastern) \nNot available for the live online class? Click here to pre-order the on-demand recording! \n\nThe Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA) enacted the first legislative amendments directly to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) statute in approximately 50 years. These new provisions have been both touted as meaningful permitting reforms and downplayed as generally codifying existing best practices. The FRA also has implications for the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) pending plans to revise its federal government-wide regulations implementing NEPA\, including expected walk-backs of revisions to those regulations enacted in 2020. In this session we will distill what has changed under NEPA and identify opportunities and challenges that engineering and legal practitioners can realistically expect in implementing NEPA’s new provisions going forward. \nAmong Questions to be Discussed: \n\nHow does the FRA aim to accelerate NEPA reviews\, and how effective will it be?\nWhat types of federal agency actions now trigger NEPA?\nHow will the FRA “reasonably foreseeable” standard affect the scope of NEPA reviews?\nWhat is the role of project proponents and contractors in preparing NEPA documents?\nWhat constraints or flexibility does the FRA create for CEQ and agency regulations and initiatives\, including around environmental justice and climate change efforts?\nDoes the FRA alter legal risks for projects challenged in courts?\n\nPresenter: Jamie Auslander and Eric Christensen\, Beveridge & Diamond

Right? Not quite. Many firms are overwhelmed by the heavy workload. Hiring new staff is very difficult. The stress is building among employees.

Among the topics he’ll discuss are delegation\, leverage structure\, recruiting culture\, staffing strategies\, professional development\, and more. \nTAKEAWAYS: \n\nLearn what your priorities should be in building capacity with the staff you already have\nUnderstand why leverage structure is critical to your firm’s success\, and how to apply it\nHow to better build professional development into the flow of work\nWhy creating a “recruiting culture” can significantly improve how you find and hire new staff\nLearn some potential creative staffing strategies that can help you build capacity\n\nPresenter: Mel Lester\, BizEdge

SUMMARY:Delegated Design: Managing Risk and Fulfilling Contractual Obligations
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, July 25\, 2023\, 1:30 – 3:00 PM (Eastern)\n \nNot available for the live online class? Click here to pre-order the on-demand recording!  \n\nDelegated design is common in modern capital projects but is frequently misunderstood and can be improperly implemented. Delegated design is when the construction contract requires the contractor\, subcontractor\, or supplier to engage the services of a licensed\, registered design professional to prepare the final design of a specific element of the completed project\, based on performance and design criteria in the construction contract. This is\, in effect\, a “mini design-build project within a project”. Because two different design professionals have their fingers in a delegated design\, many myths and misconceptions exist concerning delegated design and its attendant liability. This presentation will address appropriate means of managing the architect’s or engineer’s risk while fulfilling its contractual obligations. \nThis presentation will discuss what is and is not delegated design; types of work that are commonly delegated design \,and why; making the project owner aware of the need for delegated design\, and associated scheduling and budgeting; locations within the construction documents where delegated design requirements are indicated; how to properly require a delegated design; and how to properly review and process delegated design shop drawings and other\, related submittals. \nAfter attending this session\, participants should be able to: \n\nExplain delegated design’s uses\nDiscuss the architect’s or engineer’s responsibilities in delegated design\nIndicate available resources\nExplain how to properly delegate design responsibility\nDiscuss proper processing of delegated design submittals during construction\n\nSpeaker: Kevin O’Beirne\, PE\, FCSI\, CCS\, CCCA\, National Manager of Engineering Specifications\, HDR
