Colleagues,

September is upon us, marking the of-ficial end of summer and the kick-off of an often busy Q4 for those engineers tasked with wrapping up projects pri-or to year’s end. While it’s great to get back to work, don’t think of your travel days as numbered just yet as the annu-al SEAOC convention is right around the corner. Located at the Hilton Re-sort in San Diego from September 18th-21st, this event will give you an oppor-tunity to blend work and summer-like sunshine in a picturesque location. After all, all work and no play makes for a boring engineer and this year’s planned technical sessions and social events are sure to make the trek to San Diego valuable and memorable. I have always been impressed by the large at-tendance of our member organization and the high caliber structural engi-neers converging on this event – and early attendance numbers show that this year will be no exception. If you haven’t reserved your space, it is not too late. Reserve your spot here: https://convention.seaoc.org. We would love to see you there!

Whether or not you can travel to San Diego, I would encourage you to attend the inaugural “Buildings at Risk” Sum-mit which is scheduled for October 15, 2013 in San Francisco. This is an ideal opportunity for SEAONC to gain very important visibility within a wide and diverse group of stakeholders while promoting perhaps our single most im-portant goal - public safety and com-munity resilience. Please spread the word on this first ever northern Cali-fornia event to ensure success!

Closer to home, our SEAONC Board met during the second week of August. Some of the items discussed included:

President’s Message (Cont. from Page 1) City of San Francisco’s Indemnification Provisions and YouSEAONC AND SEAOC have taken a position regarding the contractual indemnification language that the City of San Francisco imposes on its consultants. The current City con-tract requires the design professional to assume responsi-bility for all of the City’s defense and legal costs even when they are not related to the negligence, recklessness or will-ful misconduct by the design professional. We have been advised that this is not insurable. Therefore, a design pro-fessional who is found not negligent could still be required to pay the City’s legal costs out of their own pocket. In ad-dition to being problematic to our members, the City’s posi-tion is not in San Francisco’s best interests as it may restrict the quality of advice it receives from its consultants. This position was presented in a letter to San Francisco’s Mayor and Board of Supervisors which included revisions to the City’s contract making it insurable. A copy of this position can be downloaded from the SEAONC web site.

The proposed contractual revisions were developed by the SEAONC Professional Practice Committee in cooperation with the SEAONC and SEAOC Boards. In addition, we re-ceived input from major insurance brokers as well as several law firms that represent design professionals.

While the letter to the Mayor and Board of Supervisors is important, its effectiveness will be limited until our mem-bership and allies use it to educate our elected officials re-inforcing the point that it is in everyone’s best interest to revise the City’s contract. This issue is important to individ-uals who have made the decision to live or locate businesses in the City, as well as firms outside San Francisco who are pursuing contracts with the City, either individually or as part of a team.

The City’s current damaging indemnification language was approved several years ago by the Board of Supervisors and in order to make a change in this we must all act together. Thus, we encourage individuals who live or perform work with the City of San Francisco to please contact the office of the Mayor their Supervisor, or other policy makers to ex-press their support for revised indemnification provisions and encourage action. Not only is endorsing this change important in San Francisco, but it may also set a precedent for other jurisdictions and other project contracts to provide a fair and insurable contract.

The Professional Practice Committee is available to answer questions and work with anyone interested in this effort. Please feel free to contact Nancy Tennebaum at 415-772-9891 ([email protected]) or the Committee Chair, Mark Gilligan at 510-548-8029.

updates on our increasingly popular sponsorship program; discussions on our upcoming technical seminars; and the equally important ongoing work of our technical and ad hoc committees. In this newsletter, you will find two arti-cles from our Professional Practice Committee (PPC) which were topics of discussion amongst the Board.

The first article is related to the ongoing issue of Contrac-tual Indemnity language which many public agencies re-quire but which most engineers and professional organiza-tions including SEAOC and SEAONC feel are unfair. Please know that the Board is completely aware of the issue and will continue to support and coordinate closely with the PPC and other organizations to align resources and efforts to initiate change.

The second article describes a new effort intended to gather information on California’s Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists (BPELSG) disciplinary policies. The particular area of interest for the PPC is the means by which BPELSG interprets and applies laws when the propri-ety of an engineer’s actions is in question, and the process by which BPELSG determines the disciplinary actions it im-poses. As with the prior indemnity issue, I consider both of these matters to be applicable statewide and where appro-priate, will continue to update our other member organiza-tions within SEAOC. If any of these topics are of interest to you and especially if you have some relevant experiences to share, please do not hesitate to reach out to this committee.

As many of you are also aware, SEAONC also has a very active “soft-story” ad hoc committee that was specifically formed last November to assist the City and County of San Francisco with the review of technical standards that will serve as the backbone of the City’s recent mandatory soft-story ordinance (also known as Mandatory Retrofit Program). These standards include FEMA P-807, ASCE 41, and IEBC A4. This work group, chaired by James Malley, has made significant progress over the past eight months and has provided continued guidance to the City. As we understand, Mayor Lee and the board of supervisors have been insistent that this program start with notification of property owners on September 15th which is 90 days after the effective date so this work is extremely relevant. The work of this committee is nearing completion and I hope to get a more formal report included within next month’s newsletter.

As a related effort, the continuing education committee is also coordinating a mini seminar in conjunction with the City of San Francisco which is scheduled for September 9th and which is entitled “Completing Screening and Evalua-tion Forms for San Francisco’s Wood-Frame Seismic Retrofit Program”. This mini-seminar is intended to give our mem-bers both a detailed overview of the program’s goals and timelines, and to assist our members with the subsequent documentations which will be required by affected build-ing owners. Our Fall Seminar will follow-up on this topic with in depth technical information and is currently sched-uled for November 13th and 20th. These two events are a must for any engineers who are planning to get involved with the upcoming soft-story assessment and retrofit work.

As I am sure most are aware, there will be no September general meeting but rather our annual SEAONC Board- Committee dinner meeting in which each committee chair is encouraged to meet the current board members and dis-cuss the past years accomplishments, upcoming goals and yearly budgets. I hope to see you all at the convention or at our October 1st dinner meeting.

Most SincerelyColin Blaney S.E.President

October Mini Seminar - Practical Non-Linear Analysis for the Design OfficeDescription: Non-linear analysis (both static and dynamic) have become increasingly popular over the last decade. With the increased use of Performance Based Design, engineers are routinely using non-linear analysis in some form or fea-ture to justify their design. This seminar will be presented in a case history format where the presenter will illustrate how non-linear was used to the engineer’s advantage in past projects. Specific modeling issues such a rocking, pound-ing, foundation modeling etc. will be tackled and useful analysis and design tips will be provided.

Speaker Bio: Anindya Dutta has over 14 years of experience in structural and earthquake engineering. He has provided analysis and design of a variety structures in high seismic zones. Dr. Dutta’s experience also includes seismic evalu-ation and strengthening of low to high rise structures. He has taught graduate and undergraduate level courses on concrete design and structural analysis at the State Univer-sity of New York at Buffalo and currently serves as a lec-turer at the San Francisco State University. He has authored a number of technical reports and journal papers as well as served as a member of the review board for ASCE’s Struc-tural Engineering Journal.

September Mini-Seminar-Completing Screening and Evaluation Forms for San Francisco’s Wood-Frame Seismic Retrofit ProgramOn September 15, 2013 the City of San Francisco will send notices to the owners of all wood-frame buildings contain-ing five or more dwelling units and two or more stories that were permitted for construction prior to January 1978.

After receipt of the notice, owners will have one year to re-turn a “Screening Form” to the Department of Building In-spection. The screening process verifies that buildings fall within the scope of the retrofit program, and assigns build-ings to one of four “Compliance Tiers”. The tier determines how long an owner has to complete the retrofit.

Owners that completed retrofit projects in the past, or have buildings that meet the criteria of the ordinance in their ex-isting condition, will have the option of submitting an op-tional “Evaluation Form” to demonstrate compliance with-out construction work.

Screening and Evaluation Forms must be completed by a li-censed engineer or architect.

This mini-seminar will provide an overview of the Ordi-nance, the timeline of the mandatory retrofit program, and its relationship to other “soft story” programs such as AB-094. The screening and evaluation forms will be discussed in detail, to assure prompt approval by DBI.

Speakers:

Patrick OtelliniPatrick is the Director of Earthquake Safety for the City and County of San Francisco. He has been an active participant in preparing the “soft story” ordinance, and has been a lead author of Administrative Bulletin 106, “Permit Processing and Issuance for the Seismic Strengthening of Soft Story Wood Frame Buildings”.

David Bonowitz, S.E.David has been a partner in San Francisco’s Community Action Plan for Seismic Safety for years, and was a member of the team developing the FEMA P-807 guidelines. He is currently under contract with the City to develop the Screening and Evaluation forms for the “soft story” retrofit program, as well as the lead au-thor of Administrative Bulletin 107, “Application of Engineering Criteria for the Seismic Strengthening of Soft Story Wood Frame Buildings”.

To be announced, Department of Building Inspection, City and County of San FranciscoThe Department of Building Inspection manages the implementa-tion of the “soft story” ordinance.

2013-14 Committee Chairs Business Forum Year-End Report, 2012-2013Mohamed Talaat, Chair

The Business Forum had a successful year in 2012-2013. We continue to meet in the offices of Simpson Gumpertz & He-ger, which have relocated last April to 100 Pine Street in downtown San Francisco. The most popular presentations this year were “Not Enough Money – Too Much Liability” by Attorney Richard Bauman in April 2010, and “Your Cli-ent Agreement Says This – So What Does Your Insurance policy Says?” by Mr. John Feeney and Attorney Peter Mol-gaard. The forum featured a healthy mix of veteran and first time presenters.

Etiquette expert Syndi Seid returned to present “Eight Tips to Meeting Success.” Attorney Anne Liroff discussed “Ten Things to Know about Employment Law” and renewed her generous offer of a complimentary hour of her consulting time to any Business Forum member (the offer still stands!). Consultant Joe Diliberto came back to present “How to Win More than Your Share of Projects in a Challenging Econo-my.”

Business Consultant JD Leonard gave a memorable presen-tation on “Applying the Cloud to Our Business,” while Per-sonal Coach Ken Barrett role-played a case of serious work-place miscommunication in “How Come that Goofball Got Promoted and I Didn’t?” Our closing June forum saw an enthusiastic turnout for Consultant Rich Jones’ “How to Overcome the Social Media Disconnect?” However, we then had an encore “closing forum.” Our May forum on the Insurability of Client-Drafted Agreements got rescheduled to July due to an unforeseen conflict for one of the speakers.

This year saw the launch of a more collaborative approach to selecting Business Forum topics. Members suggested and ranked potential topics and speakers online – pow-ered by Google! This year also saw the launch of the new SEAONC website and dedicated Business Forum work-space. We look forward to transitioning to the SEAONC workspace to continue these discussions. We are currently reaching out to Business Forum members to populate the website group membership.

Are you looking to become more involved in SEAONC? Would you like to network with other professionals in com-plementary disciplines who can help structural engineers be even more effective? Consider becoming involved in the Business Forum, [email protected].

The Business Forum 2013-2014 incoming Chair is Taryn Williams, [email protected]. It will continue to meet at the San Francisco office of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger.

Professional Practice CommitteeThe SEAONC Professional Practice Committee is reviewing the process used by the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists (BPELSG) when disciplin-ing professional engineers.

Based upon the feedback of some members, the Committee has become concerned that the disciplinary process may not be balanced, and fair. Of particular concern are the inter-pretations of laws that create unrealistic expectations thus suggesting that all practicing structural engineers exercis-ing the appropriate standard of care are subject to disciplin-ary action.

In order to proceed with our review we are requesting input from anyone who has knowledge of disciplinary proceed-ings and can share that information with the committee. The committee is interested in cases where formal accusa-tions were made as well as those that never got that far. Of particular interest are cases where no sanctions were ulti-mately imposed after formal accusations were issued.

Copies of recent final disciplinary decisions and the formal accusations are available on the web. What we need is in-formation that provides background and context. We also would appreciate information on older cases where less in-formation is available.

The Committee does not intend to render opinions to be used as part of individual disciplinary proceedings although ex-amples from individual cases will undoubtedly be useful in understanding how BPELSG’s policies are implemented.

The committee will honor requests for confidentiality.

If you are in a position to provide information or are in-terested in assisting the Committee with this effort please contact Mark Gilligan the Chairman of the SEAONC Pro-fessional Practice Committee at [email protected] or 510-548-8029.

You CAN help in the fight against hunger!

This year’s CANstruction event will be held at the Rincon Center, with the theme of “From CANdyland to WoW.” The teams have designed their structures and will be built with CANs of food on September 22,

2013. The display of CAN structures will be on public display as an exhibit from September 23 – 27, 2013. Once the exhibit closes all the structures will be de-CANstructed, after which the cans of food will

be donated to the San Francisco and Marin Food Bank to help feed the hungry.

The event is looking for volunteers for event planning and event day assistance. No experience or specific skills are required. Last year’s event generated over 70,000 cans for the Marin and SF Food

Banks. With your help, we CAN do even better this year!

For more information about volunteering on behalf of SEAONC please contact Gabrielle Signorealla at [email protected], and for more information about the event visit www.sfcanstruction.org.
