Register for the January AIA Luncheon!
Join us for the January AIA Luncheon on
Thursday, January 26th 11:30 a.m.
at The Station at Moore Central Park located at 700 South Broadway in Moore. Our program will be
Streetcars as Catalysts for Urban Development and Vitality.
The MAPS 3 Modern Streetcar, to be known as the Oklahoma City Streetcar or OKC Streetcar, will link important districts in and around downtown Oklahoma City. The OKC Streetcar will run on rails flush with street level. The project budget is $131 million and construction is expected to start in 2017.
Our speaker will be D.J. Baxter. D.J. is a Project Manager at Shiels Obletz Johnsen, where he is currently supporting public agency real estate and streetcar development projects across the country. From 2007 to 2016, D.J. served as the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City, where he oversaw the operations of Utah's largest redevelopment agency. The RDA of Salt Lake City operates seven project areas, where tax increment revenues are reinvested in the community under the direction of the Mayor and Board of Directors. Under D.J.'s leadership, the RDA led Salt Lake City's efforts to develop a 2500-seat theater for touring Broadway shows, construct a modern streetcar line to serve as a development catalyst, and stimulate redevelopment in all of its designated project areas through a variety of resources and programs. Prior to his appointment to the RDA Director's position, D.J. served as the Senior Advisor to the Salt Lake City Mayor, as the Project Manager for Envision Utah, and as an Associate at Bear West, a private land use planning and consulting firm. D.J. holds a law degree from the University of Utah, and focuses his work on urban design, development and public finance, and public transportation.
Plan to join us to learn more about what DJ Baxter can tell us about the MAPS 3 Modern Streetcar project as well as how these types of projects serve as catalysts for urban development and vitality.
Tour of The Station
Following the luncheon presentation, attendees are invited to stay for a tour of the award winning project by TAP Architecture. Architect, Anthony McDermid, AIA of TAP Architecture and Assistant City Manager, Todd Jenson will lead a tour of the facility.
"From a quality of life perspective, it's one of these projects that was a
game changer for the City of Moore. It's added an element to the community that we haven't had before."
- Todd Jenson Assistant City Manager, City of Moore
This program is free to AIA Central Oklahoma Members. (Allied member add-ons are $20). Guests are $25 and AIAS Students are $10. The deadline to register is Friday, January 20.

Join CSI for their 11th Hour Bid Day Simulation program on January 16!
 CSI Oklahoma of Oklahoma would like to invite you to their January Program, 11th Hour Bid Day Simulation. Monday, January 16, 2017 5:30 p.m. Nabholz Training Room Presenter: Dr. Doyle Phillips, CSI, CCCA, FCPE, CPC, EdD EVP of Preconstruction at Nabholz Construction Many estimators spend at least some part of their careers helping their company get work by submitting a type of proposal that is often called a "hard bid". This type of proposal requires that the contractor prepare a single lump sum bid for an entire project that is then submitted to a project owner in a sealed envelope, by a certain time, on a certain day - known as Bid Day. All the submitted contractor bids are then opened and read out loud for all to hear, and the contractor submitting the lowest complete bid is usually awarded the project contract.
The general contractor often has 35 or more different trades of work involved in a project for which they receive subcontractor bids. With three, five or more proposals submitted for each trade, and most of those submitted on Bid Day, the general contractor has to review dozens if not hundreds of bids in the space of a few hours. The contractor may assemble a team of 4 to 10 estimators in a "war room" to accomplish this task. This program aims to simulate the last couple hours of this intense and sometimes hectic process - the "11th hour"!
Many owners, architects, trade contractors, suppliers and other industry members become involved in hard bids in one way or another, but have not had the opportunity to see the process from the perspective of the general contractor. Some general contractor estimators have not participated in this type of work process either, if they are new to the field or work for companies that do not typically participate in hard bid procurement. This simulation provides the opportunity to see how it is done - without the risk!
Cost: FREE! CSI Oklahoma City is inviting AIACOC Members to attend free of charge
