Estimating Competition Searching for a Project
Every year students participating in the OCA Estimating Competition compete using a previously-constructed project from one of our members. Last year’s students estimated the Dublin Smart Parking Lot, presented by George J. Igel Co. We are now looking for a new project for the 2019 competition. If you are willing to attend a couple of meetings to discuss your project and give a presentation to those attending the competition, please contact Rachel Sirca at 614-488-0724. The competition dates are February 22 & 23.

A Tale Of Two Teamsters Pension Plans
It was (nearly) the best of times for the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan, it was (nearly) the worst of times for the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund. While that sounds like a Charles Dickens novel, it’s the reality facing two of the largest U.S. multiemployer plans that provide pensions to retirees and active members of the Teamsters union. The two plans have nearly 1 million members. Central States is among the approximately 130 plans that have projected they will run out of money in the next 20 years. That means the plan’s members could lose their pension benefits. The Western Conference, on the other hand, is close to fully funded and in a good position to pay out pension benefits.
