BIA Bay Area is sad to announce the passing of former Board Member Roger Menard
Roger Menard passed away on March 2 from complications of a major stroke suffered weeks earlier. Menard's career in the homebuilding industry spanned nearly four decades and included time as a member of the BIA Bay Area Board of Directors. During his career in the homebuilding industry, Menard served as President of Broadmoor Homes, President of the Northern California division of Pulte Home Corp., President of the South Bay division of KB Home, President of SummerHill Homes and President of John Laing Homes San Francisco Bay Area Region. BIA Bay Area extends its heartfelt condolences to the Menard Family as well as Roger's many friends in the homebuilding industry.

PG&E Vows to Work Quickly Through Backlog
PG&E expects to quickly schedule all field work cancelled during the COVID-19 shutdown and will push to complete the backlog by late June or middle July, utility representatives told BIA|Bay Area members. Work will be rescheduled based on the original job dates although other factors may be considered. In the interim, however, all builders may experience two- to four-week delays in PG&E-related field activities as the agency reschedules the nearly 1,000 postponed jobs while it maintains its current workload. PG&E liaisons spoke during a joint BIA-PG&E Task Force video conference on May 11, 2020. The representatives also urged builders to ensure that employees on construction jobsites are strictly following COVID-19 worker safety guidelines. PG&E crews may decline to do the work until a site comes into compliance, which will further delay the job. To request a link to watch the PG&E Task Force video conference or to request a copy of the PG&E Contacts List, contact BIA's Lisa Vorderbrueggen at 925-348-1956 or lvorderbrueggen@biabayarea.org.
