APWA Presentation
Paul gave a presentation at the recent Iowa Chapter APWA Spring Conference in West Des Moines on PROWAG. Some attendees requested a copy of the presentation so we decided to post it here. Let us know if you have any questions about it.
Sidewalks and Bicycle Facilities
One item of interest on the April 2012 district agenda is the updated draft of Chapter 12 - Sidewalks and Bicycle Facilities. This draft chapter has been revised to refect the updated federal guidance for ADA compliant sidewalks and bicycle facilities. The draft chapter was developed jointly with the Iowa DOT to establish a statewide standard. The draft chapter can be reviewed from the district agenda or you can find the complete chapter by clicking here. As stated above, these revisions have NOT been approved by the Board of Directors and are merely DRAFT revisions to the SUDAS Design Manual.

Iowa DNR Approval
Iowa DNR sent a letter to SUDAS staff dated January 30, 2012 confirming that Division 3 (Trench and Trenchless Construction) and Division 5 (Water Mains and Appurtenances) of the SUDAS Specifications are in accordance with the design standards of the Iowa DNR Water Supply Section.
2012 Edition Revisions
The 2012 Edition revisions to the SUDAS manuals have been printed and distributed. If you did not receive your revisions, please contact Beth Richards (515-294-2869 or brich@iastate.edu). Also contact Beth with any changes to our mailing list.
CD Error
With our 2012 Edition revision packets, we included CDs of both manuals. Unfortunately staff discovered an error on the SUDAS Standard Specifications CD after they were already distributed. Section 3020 is missing from the CD. You can access an electronic version of Section 3020 on our website (go through the Specifications menu on the left). We apologize for the error. New copies of Iowa DOT's Electronic Reference Library will be distributed in March and this version of ERL will contain the 2012 Edition of the specs.
