May Chapter Meeting: Mock Bid Event
Alicia LaManna, CSI, Programs Chair
Tuesday, May 9, 2017 from 5:30-8:30 PM
What is it like to be a contractor on Bid Day? Why do they always wait until the last second to turn in their bid? Bidding construction work is a key step in the process to build a building, and if you have not experienced it before, you should not miss out! Come to the CSI Mock Bid at the Ecotrust Building on May 9th. No Experience Required! We'll give you all the instruction you need, and let you learn through active participation. You will review bids from subcontractors, come up with your best number for the project, and try to turn your bid in on time! REGISTER HERE >

Chapter Archives Lost in Disaster at Columbia Square
Jake LaManna, CSI, Board Secretary
Recently your chapter officers learned our complete set of back issues of The Predicator, our chapter Charter, our original Articles of Incorporation, membership records, copies of posters for our annual "Products Fair" (now Industry Forum), and many other items were quickly discarded following a break in a large water main at Columbia Square, home of Melvin Mark Properties and other firms.
Several current and past chapter officers recently each spent several hours sorting a vast collection of materials in order to reduce their volume and make specific items easier to locate. Now all is lost!
Portland Chapter appreciates the past support of the Melvin Mark Organization with memberships and other forms of encouragement toward better construction communications.
Portland Chapter members with archival information are requested to contact Jake LaManna, CSI-EP, Chapter Secretary, with lists of materials in their possession at [email protected]. The future will probably be electronic images, with originals being returned to their donors.
Ps. Past Portland Chapter President and Past Region Director Richard "Dick" Gira, CSI, CDT, wrote an article which was published in The Construction Specifier September 1984. The title was "CSI and Creativity." Gira wrote Lee Kilbourn last year saying he'd given his only copy of the original magazine to a friend to read. Much to Dick's disappointment the friend misplaced it or discarded it by mistake. If anyone has a copy of the September 1984 issue they are asked to let Dick get a copy of the article.
