Writing Effective Technical Specifications

I am teaching a 6 hour training seminar on "Writing Effective Technical Specifications" on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 in Vancouver, Washington.  The class is primarily focused on public works projects. 

Here are the main agenda items:

• State law requires specifications
• Why good specifications are important
• Tips in writing specifications
• Controlling quality in specifications
• Sources of specification language
• Types of specifications
• Interpretation of specifications
• Warranties
• Bidder responsibility criteria

I also teach a more general class, not focused so much on public works projects, on developing and reviewing scopes of work for other types of consultant and service contracts.  Please contact me if you are interested in having me provide this training.
