The CMAR method entails a com- mitment to deliver the project within a guaranteed maximum price. Rudolph and Sletten submitted the winning proposal to provide preconstruction services, planning, and construction management services, which will include solicitation of bids from sub- contractors. In business for more than 50 years, Rudolph and Sletten has completed many California public works pro- jects. The company has won numer- ous awards and was named the Sacra- mento region's 2010 General Con- tractor of the Year by the American Subcontractors Association, Capital City Chapter. The CMAR is retained early in the project for preconstruction services. Following a competitive bid for all subcontracts and the approval to award, the CMAR becomes the gen- eral contractor for the project. Selection criteria for the project CMAR included an evaluation of the firm's plan for outreach to local sub- contractors, ensuring that qualified local firms are fully aware of the bid- ding opportunity, process, and time- line. All qualified subcontractors, lower-tier subcontractors, and suppli- ers will be considered. For this com- petitive selection, the AOC received 11 submissions and conducted inter- views of the five most qualified firms, from which Rudolph and Sletten was selected. The 62,000-square-foot building includes significant improvements in security — such as separate hallways for the public, court staff, and in-cus- tody defendants — as well as improved fire safety and better access and efficiency for staff and visitors. Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-2014. Completion of the new courthouse is scheduled for early 2016. Dear graduating class of 2012 I wasn't invited to give a gradua- tion speech this spring. Still, I was prepared. And since a good speech is a terrible thing to waste, I offer it to you now. To the Class of 2012: You did it. You worked hard; you stuck it out even when you wanted to quit. You persevered, and for that I offer my sincerest congratulations. Lest you conclude you've just crossed the finish line, let me point out that you have just arrived at the starting line. Now it's time to run the race. Get a job. I know it is your intention to get a job, but do not give yourself the luxury of taking the summer off. There's a belief that Really Great Jobs await those with degrees. Yes, it is true that your lifetime earnings will surpass what your peers without degrees can expect to earn, but not in the beginning. To achieve lifetime earnings, one must actually become employed. Plan to start at the bottom. This is called the "entry level." There are no Really Great Jobs at the entry level. That means the lowest pay. If you think you had to scrape and scrimp in col- lege, think of that as the dress rehearsal for what is to come. In fact, in this employment climate, entry level might mean two jobs, or an internship in your Attack your debt. Statistics suggest the vast majority of you leave college with student and credit card debt. The deci- sions you make for how you manage your debt will significantly impact the direction of your life. You have two choices: You can defer, avoid, ignore, pro- long and otherwise try to put off repayment until a more convenient time in the far distant future; or you can face your debt head-on starting now, believing that life's greatest opportunities are reserved for those who are not chained to debt. Put yourself on a three-year repayment schedule, and then stick to your plan as if your life depends on it. It may. Live frugally. Never allow yourself to spend all that you have. Strive to live below your means. Make it your per- sonal rule of life to give away part of what you receive. That will keep you from greed. Likewise, save some for your future. That will keep you from field plus an entry-level job some- where else. Friday, May 18, 2012 – Daily News 3A fear and worry. Keep driving your old car.
