Construction Industry Assessment Survey
What challenges is your firm facing? How do you see things changing over the next year? As we do each year, AGC is asking members to take a few minutes to complete a short, confidential survey to tell us how you see the present and future of Minnesota's commercial construction industry. To help complete the picture, responses will also be gathered from our architecture and engineering partners. The survey will close on November 8. Only one response per company. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Ongoing CenturyLink Issues
AGC continues to ask for your help in creating documentation on egregious behavior by CenturyLink, or any other utility that breaks the law. Please take the time to respond to your locate issues by doing the following:
1. Create documentation by taking photos and keeping records with the date and time of any and all issues you are having with a locate ticket with any facility your company has contracted with.
2. Create invoices that keep track of lost downtime and wages.
3. Call 1-800-667-9963 for any issues with a CenturyLink locate ticket. It is a direct number to inquire about open and recently completed locate requests. A contact sheet with CenturyLink Underground Facility Contacts is available here.
- For "Emergency" tickets, this is a phone call to the number listed for the requestor to make the excavator aware of the expected completion window.
- For "Meet" tickets, this is an auto message or text with notification that we are running behind, along with a way to reach us for more information.
5. Laura Ziegler (lziegler@agcmn.org) and Lisa Frenette (frenettela@gmail.com) are compiling records of these serious incidences, so please forward a copy of your documents to us so we have this important information as we move forward on regulatory issues.
Contact Laura or Lisa if you have questions about the above.

AGC of Minnesota Staff Want to Visit You
 During this AGC of Minnesota centennial year, the AGC staff and centennial sponsors will travel around the state, visiting members where you are. Think root beer floats made with 1919 root beer (of course). Will you be conducting an education day for your staff? Perhaps a holiday event? Maybe your firm will be celebrating an anniversary this year. Whatever the event - or for no specific reason - , please let us know so we can put you on the schedule. We're coming your way!
Contact Merry Beckmann at 612-796-2187 or mbeckmann@agcmn.org for more information and to put your firm on the calendar. This centennial year belongs to you, our members!
