This one-day conference will provide educational and networking opportunities for highway/heavy, commercial building and residential contractors, plus informative general sessions for the entire construction industry.

There will also be workshops planned on topics featuring business development, building code changes, contracting with the state, licensing and compliance, safety and health compliance and consultation, workforce development, and a panel discussion with state commissioners. State subject matter experts will be available for one-on-one sessions to answer contractor questions. We suggest you check out all of the seminars for the different areas of construction and look over the conference agenda by going to www.dli.mn.gov/construction. You'll also get a chance for a one-on-one question-and-answer session with state agency staff. Cost of the conference is $99. Warning about License Renewals 2013 was the first time plumbing contractors were required to submit a business license renewal. All plumbing contractor, restricted plumbing contractor and water conditioning contractor licenses expire December 31 of odd numbered years, so 2013 is the first year for the renewal of these new license types. This, combined with multiple contractor licenses expiring in early 2014, will mean the state's licensing staff will be processing more than 11,000 business license renewals within a four-month span. To ensure that licenses do not expire, contractors are encouraged to submit renewals as early as possible. By law, a contractor's license is not considered renewed until it has been reviewed and approved by CCLD staff. Because renewals are processed in the order they are received, applications that are submitted close to the renewal deadline may not get processed by the license's expiration date. Businesses can renew licenses online by completing renewal forms and uploading them through DLI's website. License fees may be paid electronically. Only paying the renewal fee online does not renew a business license. Plumbing contractors who are required to file a bond must submit the original bond forms for their 2014-2015 bond to DLI via U.S. Mail. Visit https://secure.doli.state.mn.us/license/intro.aspx to renew licenses online. Licensees with questions about their renewals can call CCLD Licensing staff at (651) 284-5034 or send an email to [email protected]. MCAA National Convention MCAA will once again bring its members the best management training available but also to keep you up on what's new that's going on in the piping industry. Along with that, you have opportunities to hear and meet intriguing personalities like actress Jamie Lee Curtis, Robert S. Mueller, III, former director of the FBI, authors, adventurers, consultants, and wine connoisseur Eddie Osterland (Eddie O), Master Sommelier. MCAA offers a very special rate for first timers. To find out more on the convention go to www.mcaa.org.

You also need to give it to all new employees. Within 14 days of hire all new employees must also receive the notice.

  • METRO Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit Project Section 106 Assessment of Effects and Final Determination of Effects for Historic Prop
    Bus Rapid Transit Project Section 106 Assessment of Effects and Final Determination of Effect for Historic Properties November 2020 Prepared by: Minnesota Department of Transportation Cultural Resources Unit 395 John Ireland Boulevard Saint Paul, Minnesota 55155-1899 http://www.dot.state.mn.us/culturalresources/index.html http://www.dot.state.mn.us/culturalresources/contacts.html On behalf of: United States Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Region V 200 West Adams Street, Suite 320 Chicago, Illinois 60606 To request this document in an alternative format: Please call 651-366-4718 or 1-800-657-3774 (Greater Minnesota). You may also send an email to [email protected]. Summary The METRO Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project (Project) is a proposed ten-mile-long BRT line located in Ramsey and Washington counties, Minnesota. Operating in both mixed traffic and on a dedicated guideway, the proposed alignment will generally parallel Interstate (I-) 94 from downtown Saint Paul to just east of I-694, where it will turn south and extend along Helmo and Bielenberg Avenues to the Woodbury Village Shopping Center, connecting downtown Saint Paul with the suburban cities of Maplewood, Landfall, Oakdale and Woodbury. The proposed line includes 21 stations, four (4) of which will include a park-and-ride facility. The Metropolitan Council (MC) intends to apply to the Federal Transit Authority (FTA) to fund the Project, request an Interstate right-of-way use agreement for a portion of the Project’s preferred alternative from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), acting through the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), and seek permits for construction from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

  • The Politics of Subsidizing Sports: Legislative Voting for Three Minnesota Sports Venues
    1 The Politics of Subsidizing Sports: Legislative Voting for Three Minnesota Sports Venues Dave Hitchcock Bemidji State University Political Science Senior Thesis Bemidji State University Dr. Patrick Donnay, Advisor April 2011 2 Abstract Since 1998 the State of Minnesota has funded the building of the Xcel Energy Center, Target Field, and TCF Bank Stadium. The focus of this research is to locate voting trends within the Minnesota House of Representatives towards these venues. I recorded the votes of each member on the legislation approving these venues from the Minnesota Journal of the House and then constructed data sets for all three buildings. From this data, trends emerge potentially linking the voting tendencies of members based on party, gender, and geographical location of their district. Initial analysis supports a fairly strong relationship between district location and member voting. Introduction Having grown up in a state fortunate enough to have a professional team in each of the four major sports (football, hockey, baseball, and basketball) has led to a great interest in sports. Due to the need of these franchises to stay profitable, three new state of the art venues have been built within the past ten years and a fourth is currently being sought; Target Field for Twins baseball, the Xcel Energy Center for Wild hockey, and the third is TCF Bank Stadium for the University of Minnesota football program have all been partially state funded and the fourth stadium for the Vikings football franchise is currently being negotiated. With three venues totaling more than $900 million being built in such a short time, I began to wonder how each franchise was able to secure large funding subsidies from the state.

  • Department of Public Works Sp-164-158-025 Eastbound Kellogg Rivercentre Bridge Project
    CITY OF SAINT PAUL - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS SP-164-158-025 EASTBOUND KELLOGG RIVERCENTRE BRIDGE PROJECT PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project reconstructs the Eastbound Kellogg Bridge No. 90378 at RiverCentre. The existing bridge is a 39-span, 1040 feet long constructed in 1936. It carries two eastbound lanes, a shoulder and pedestrian sidewalk on Kellogg Boulevard between W. 7th Street and Market Street. It is Integral to the Exchange Street viaduct providing vehicular access from the lower bluff area to Kellogg Boulevard. Separately, the bridge offers access to the Xcel Energy Center/RiverCentre Loading Dock allowing commercial delivery vehicles, buses and shuttles to use the loading dock road under the bridge to exit at the signalized intersection inside the viaduct. The bridge has extensive concrete deterioration, shows signs of advanced corrosion, and it is structurally deficient. After 85 years of service, it has reached the end of its useful design life. The project limits are MSAS 158 (Kellogg Boulevard) between West 7th Street and Market Street. The total project length is 1,800 feet, with existing bridge length (to be replaced) of approximately 1,040 feet. The reconstruction and rehabilitation of eastbound Kellogg Boulevard includes retaining walls, approach roadways, the Exchange Street viaduct (MSAS 258), and Bridge No. 90378 over the river bluff ravine. Bridge No. 90378 will be demolished and replaced with the Exchange Street Bridge No. 62671 and the Loading Dock Bridge No. 62672 The proposed bridge system consists of a series of tunnels. The loading dock road will be re-directed via its tunnel to exit on Eagle Street, eliminating the intersection from within the Exchange Street viaduct and thus improving traffic safety.
