Its high-densitycomponents optimize cabinet space, providingthe same equipment in ½ the space, capableof managing multiple and complex intersectionwith 32-channel outputs. The ATC CabinetSeries are fully LED compatible, supporting theuse of ultra low power LEDs. Nathan talkedabout there are now 2 watt LED’s and are push-ing vendors to go to 1 watt, looking towards theopportunity to make traffic signals solar pow-ered and off grid. Looking to the future, thesesmaller eco-friendly devices are providingmore data providing for the possibility of con-nected vehicles with HUD’s in windshield, traf-fic signal red/yellow/green in vehicles, or nointersections at all.

LETTER FROM THE ACECH PRESIDENTWritten by William H.Q. Bow, P.E.

The 2015 Legislative Session has startedand I wanted to bring you up to speed on whatACECH is doing.

The ACECH Legislative Committee com-prised of Ms. Janice Marsters, Mr. LesterFukuda, Ms. Sandie Wong, Ms. Sheryl Nojima,Mr. Robin Lim and myself have been workinghard at the State Legislature on behalf of themember firms. Although we took a break fromintroducing our own bill this year, there hasbeen a lot of activity on a number of procure-ment and other regulatory bills. In the past twomonths, we have spent substantial time andeffort on the following bills:

A bill that would require a tax clearancebefore renewing your PE license. We arguedthat there should be ways, other than holdingup individual professional licenses, to check onbusiness tax compliance. We managed tohave this bill deferred after the first hearing.

A bill eroding the QBS law (HRS §103D-304).Changes proposed by the State’s ChiefProcurement Officer (CPO) would negate QBS.We are still working with the CPO to revise thebill to address the State’s concerns, while leav-ing the QBS process intact. We are also coor-dinating with the CPO on several other pro-curement bills that would impact our industry.

A bill that would require drilling services tobe removed from the geotechnical or environ-mental scope and separately bid as construc-tion services. We managed to have this billdeferred before hearing.
