We are pleased to report that J-U-B Engineers received a 2nd place Engineering Excellence Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Idaho (ACEC-Idaho) for their 20-year work on the Idaho Standards for Public Works Construction (ISPWC) Manual.

What is the ISPWC?

The ISPWC stands for Idaho Standards for Public Works Construction (ISPWC). The ISPWC is comprised of two parts:

1) The “ISPWC – Standard Specifications and Drawings”. The ISPWC is meant to be a reference document for construction and quality control of public works infrastructure projects. This manual is available as a hard copy document (large three-ring binder) or is available in searchable PDF format on CD.

1) The “ISPWC – Owners and Specifiers Manual” is a document to assist public agencies or engineers in the preparation of contract documents using the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC) construction contract forms that have been modified for use in Idaho. This manual is available to current EJCDC members in a separate three-ring binder and contains all instructions and forms required for contract document preparation. Forms are also presented in electronic form via editable CD.

Public agencies are encouraged to adopt and use the ISPWC manuals by resolution, policy, or ordinance.

LHTAC is the clearinghouse for this manual. It can be purchased online at https://lhtac.org/resources/ispwc/ or in person at our office.
