Public Works Resource Guide: I have written a Public Works Resource Guide for Washington state's Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC). The online book is being edited now and hopefully will be available by late spring or early summer at mrsc.org. It is a best practices guide to everything about public construction contracting. The main sections of the book are as follows:
Foundations
Competition
Bidding
Documents
Implementation
Compliance
Resources
Memoir: I have also written a candid and vulnerable memoir titled Reflections of an Uncertain Journey about my now almost four-year journey dealing with a lethal and incurable cancer (metastatic prostate cancer).
The book will be released by the publisher on March 17, 2023, but is now available for preorder. Paperback or eBook. Amazon link.
