    Good Billing Software for small firm?

    What about Quick books Professional Services Edition? I took a look at their demo, and it does handle time cards. Is any one using this software?

    Inc. Verses LLC or Nothing

    I will be setting up shop in Central CA this summer, and my mother-in-law was kind enough to get me a few Nolo books on starting a business in California. My impression of the LLC rules is that because Engineers are licensed professional, we cannot form LLC's. As a one man shop, I don't see a...

    Small Radius Hadicap ramps?

    Thanks for the help and faxes gtrainor. I have about 3 weeks to get this project wrapped up and into the county for approval (it is CDBG funded). So I will try to contact ADA soon. I was under the impression that the domes needed to be perpendicular to the traveled way. CadAndy: I think the...

    Small Radius Hadicap ramps?

    Small Radius Hadicap ramps?

    In the small town that I am City Engineer in, we have a lot of older neighborhoods that 5' radius corners. We have a grant to install sidewalk in some of these areas. However, he grant does not include money for purchase of additional right-of-way. Because it is federal funds, we have to...

    Water Main Pressure Relief - Drop Structure to Storm Water Channel

    I would think that any kind of energy disipator made of metal would deteriate very quickly. Any finish on it would be washed off by water moving 30ft per second. I know there used to be a engergy disipator shown in the Green book of standard plans for Public works. It was intended for use...
