*rant* Government regulatory offices *rant*

Why do these offices see fit to change the requirements EVERY FRIGGIN TIME I try and submit waterline or sewerline easements?

5 years ago it was simple, a normal survey with a metes and bounds description and a handskae with the director. Now I'm tieing the survey down to GPS coordinates, doing profiles(which BTW is an engineers job) and AND creating a new roadway. I have the know-how to do this stuff, but I never added this crap to the contract price because THEY CHANGED THE REQ's!!!!!. Now my client is gettin shafted, I'm gettin shafted and the folks that signed a contract on a new home in this subdivision are gonna get boned.

I guess what really steams me up is that a government agency can require extra work and not have to foot the bill. So do they care that it takes up to 3 times longer to get the work outta my doors? Nope, not one little bit. No forward looking idea on how thier decisions might impact the future growth of the area...just litle burecrats twiddlin thier thumbs and devising new ways to keep thier job.

Oh, and NOW the reginal water authority insists on a digital format of the survey submittal. Fine, I don't mind them gettin that, I'm sure it makes it easier for them to put into thier GIS library.....but they have the gall to specify how I layer and draw my own maps? Ohhhh...that really sent me over the edge. I told em to open the drawing and move the crap around thier damn selves or I would feign knowledge of AutoCad and say that I hand drew em.

Sorry, this whole gov't thing has me backed up, losing money and really ticked off. I'm sitting here on my thumb waiting on the f'ing Metropolitan Sewer District to say yea or nea to an easement across some city land....f'ing politics.

hey deer nutz the same crap is goin on here in canada auto insurance companies are laying off employees and making autobody repair shops take digital pictures and doing all the paperwork for assesing damages.

The solution for you may be that if your operating costs and demands increase so should the price for your services. Try and find away around it and if you cant then pass it on to the consumer. I know some companys that still do hand written Invoices.

Just imagine what service I could recieve if only I had a rotary dial phone.

Thats the rub here man. The requirements change EVERY time I walk in the offices last half dozen times I've been roped into doing an easment for sewer or water. I dunno what the heck I'm gonna be forced to do.

[Randy]

maybe you can get something (form) that outlines the requirements and get some sort of date as to how long they are applicable.

I feel for your ass (not in the gay homo way)

Why do you tease me so? If I edit it and include a shorty AR-15 with say...some Lecia optics or starlight scope would it push me up into the high 9s? I could cuss more too...call em mother****in **********s and such. Maybe make some of the letters red white and blue maybe?

It's enough to drive a man to drinkin I tell ya!
