Thanks to Janelle at Shimmick for pointing this out to me. Please listen to the recording but
click on the images below to be able to expand them and see what I am talking about.
We might need to do a repeat session sometime if necessary.
 
CALTRANS CostTrax Pilot:
Here we shared our thoughts about this possible change of source for equipment rental rates for extra work billing. We appreciate those who participated and shared their experience, questions, and comments with all of us attending.
 
Caltrans would appreciate YOUR feedback on this. If for some reason, you did NOT get our August 25th email on this situation, email us to have it resent to you.
 
We would like to encourage you to look into the impacts of this possible change and let Caltrans know how it will affect your business positively or negatively.
 
 
 
 
EWBILLS Browser Based Access Testing:
Here we introduced the beta testing to all active users interested in checking it out and we asked for written feedback so we can address anything that is brought to our attention. Totally appreciate all constructive feedback - good or bad.
