State of FICE

As I write this month’s FICE Update, Governor Scott and President Obama have delivered the State of the State and State of the Union addresses. I am taking this opportunity to report on the State of FICE. As with most member firms, FICE has had to prepare an annual budget based on a slower economy. FICE Executive Director Frank Rudd and Comptroller Shawn Stewart have worked extremely hard to balance revenues with a revised expenditure plan.

Compared to this time last year, FICE has seen a net increase of eight member firms, and a slight increase (one) in the number of sustaining firms. The FICE index number, which is a reflection of the number of employees in those member firms, has dropped slightly from 1,850 to 1,751. This may be due to the downsizing of some of our FICE member firms. However, our ACEC index number has remained relatively the same. Our FICE dues billed to date have increased slightly (2%), with collections remaining essentially the same. The ACEC dues are down slightly (5%) and combined dues billed a small amount less (3%) from the previous year. Considering our nation’s economy, FICE has been able to maintain a steady and stable financial record. This has been achieved in spite of the lower number of seminars held this past year, which have always been a good source of revenue for our organization.

On the national level, for the first time ever FICE (ACEC/Florida) achieved over 50% of its annual ACEC/PAC fundraising goal commitment for 2011. To put things into perspective, 20-25% of the fundraising goal has been the amount typically reached. Congratulations to our ACEC/PAC Champion Jason Matson, PE, for his hard work and perseverance in helping FICE attain this unprecedented milestone. FICE will also be hosting the 2012 ACEC Fall Conference in Boca Raton. FICE will be involved in lining up speakers, as well as assisting with local coordination.

Our committees continue to be very active, and are the heart and soul of our organization. The Public Relations Committee recently selected the 2012 Engineering Excellent Awards, which will be presented at the 96th Annual Summer Conference and Exposition FICE Banquet in Orlando this August. The Professional Practices Committee continues to address the recent attacks on CCNA. The Member Services Committee has done an excellent job in recruitment; we have approved six new firms since October 2011. The Transportation Committee continues to raise the bar in its involvement in partnering with FDOT and other local agencies. The Water Resources Committee has further expanded its partnership with SFWMD, ACOE and SJWMD, and in educating municipalities on the value of CCNA. The Structural Engineering Committee has regrouped and is undertaking several initiatives. GMEC continues to provide our geotechnical engineers a forum for interacting with FDOT and recognizing members of their profession. The Bylaws Committee continually looks for ways of improving and streamlining our laws and procedures. The Nominating Committee will be meeting shortly for the purpose of helping select our future leaders. Finally, our newly formed FELI Committee is looking to get FELI alumni more involved with FICE.

On the legislative front, FICE continues to be in the forefront in the development of legislation affecting our industry. Both Executive Director Frank Rudd and our legislative consultant Jon Johnson are very active at the Capitol in getting our message across. This year our focus is in defeating any modifications to CCNA.  

This concludes my 2011-2012 State of FICE Report. As you can see, FICE continues to work hard as our industry’s advocate in meeting our firms’ needs. As always, feel free to contact me, Executive Director Rudd, or any member of the FICE Board about any questions you may have regarding our organization.

FICE CCNA Letter Campaign
FICE directs an educational letter campaign to educate public entities regarding the Consultant’s Competitive Negation Act (CCNA). This campaign is driven by FICE members who anonymously send Request for Proposal (RFP) to Headquarters. This method ensures that the government agency does not know which firm filed the complaint. FICE staff in return corresponds with government officials in an effort to educate them on the CCNA law and encourages them to amend their RFP process. This has been a successful program and we encourage all members to participate. If you see an RFP that may be violating the CCNA law, please e-mail Sam Hobbs at shobbs@fleng.org.  If a member firm or licensed engineer within a member firm knowingly violates CCNA, FICE believes you may be in violation of Chapter 61G15, rules and regulations.
