The Water Works Board of the City of Birmingham (“BWWB”) has adopted a voluntary Historically Underutilized Business (“HUB”) Program designed to encourage the participation of HUB firms in construction projects. To that end, the BWWB will never exclude any firm from participation in, deny any person benefits of, or otherwise discriminate in connection with the award and performance of BWWB contracts based on racial, gender, social, or economic status.

It is the intent of the BWWB to foster competition among contractors, suppliers and vendors that will result in better quality and more economical services for the BWWB. Under this program, the BWWB has established a goal of 30% participation of HUB firms for services required for BWWB construction projects. The BWWB’s stated goal will not be the determining factor in construction contract awards; rather bidders must demonstrate compliance with the Good Faith Efforts, more particularly outlined in the HUB Program, toward meeting said goal.

Failure on the part of a bidder to fully submit the information required herein may be considered by the BWWB in evaluating whether the bidder is responsive to bid requirements.

Alabama Code §31-13-9 (1975) provides that as a condition for the award of any contract by The Water Works Board of the City of Birmingham, a business entity or employer that employs one or more employees within the state of Alabama shall provide documentation of enrollment in the E-Verify program.

Each Prospective Bidder must complete, as a condition for the award of any Contract by The Water Works Board of the City of Birmingham, the Certification Regarding Debarment in Section 00201. The Certification must be complete in its entirety and must be included with the Prospective Bidder’s Bid (NO EXCEPTIONS).

Legislature of Alabama Act 2013-205 grants the Alabama Department of Revenue (ADOR) the authority to issue certificates of exemption from sales and use taxes for construction projects for certain governmental agencies. Pursuant to Act 2013-205, Section 1(g) the Contractor accounts for the sales tax not included in the Bid Form by submitting an Accounting of Sales Tax- Attachment to BWWB Bid Form. Failure to provide an accounting of sales tax shall render the bid non-responsive. Other than determining responsiveness, sales tax accounting shall not affect the bid pricing nor be considered in the determination of the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. After Notice of Award, Contractor and Subcontractor licensed by the State Licensing Board for General Contractors must comply with ADOR requirements for making application for qualification of the exemption and are responsible for ADOR reporting requirements for the duration of the project.

If a Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, who has neither been disqualified nor rejected pursuant to these Contract Documents, and whose Bid based on an evaluation by the OWNER indicates that the award will be in the best interest of the Project and will result in the lowest overall cost to the OWNER for completion of the project. If a Contract is to be awarded, it will be awarded within 30 calendar days after the day of the opening of bids.

The OWNER reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, the right to waive irregularities or to accept any proposal deemed to be in the best interest of the OWNER.

SCOPE OF WORK:

The scope of the work consists of two exterior sprinkler installations at the Callahan Eye Hospital, located at the front ambulance drive and covered parking area, as well as the loading dock area. The scope of the work includes installing a new dry-pipe system in each area, new ceilings, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and other miscellaneous architectural work. All work will be performed at night and phased for minimal disruption. The work will be performed under a single Prime General Contractor who will coordinate the work of this project. The project will be performed around an occupied hospital and functional health care units, so particular and specific care will be required to limit disturbances, coordinate shutdowns, and follow strict Infection Control and Interim Life Safety Measures (ICRA/ILSM) requirements for the protection of patients, family and staff. Adjacent spaces are sensitive to noise, vibrations, and dust and will require implementation of measures to mitigate these issues. The Prime General Contractor seeking to be prequalified will require experience with similar size and type projects performed in an operating hospital environment and with the implementation and maintenance of infection control measures and interim life safety measures, coordinating shutdowns, and maintaining a clean and organized job site in an operating hospital.

Futurologists Predict Classrooms Will Be Replaced By 3D Worlds

Birmingham Times

Classrooms will be completely replaced by computer-simulated 3D worlds within 25 years – and pupils will be DNA tested to identify their academic strengths, according to futurologists.

The virtual environments will enable paleontology students to ‘walk’ among dinosaurs in the wild, marine studies scholars to observe ocean life ‘underwater’, and astronomy classes to be hosted on board a starship.

DNA testing will predict subjects that students are likely to excel in, enabling teachers to focus on their strengths from an early age.

Brain-computer technology will be used to continually monitor mental and emotional well-being, identifying imminent signs of student burnout or stress.

Classes are also likely to be more skill-based rather than age-related, increasing the rate of educational progress.

And AI technology will provide instant in-person translation, meaning students of many different nationalities can learn together.

The predictions were made in a white paper written by Tracey Follows, one of the world’s top 50 female futurists and Visiting Professor of Digital Futures and Identity.

Commissioned by EdTech provider GoStudent, the report – ‘The End Of School As You Know It: Education in 2050’ – highlights the integral role tech will play in the future of education.

Tracey Follows, who appeared in Forbes, in a list of the top 50 female futurists in the world, said: “The future of education is incredibly exciting and dynamic.

“With the rapid progressions in technology, we are on the brink of a technological explosion that will change how the entire world operates.

“Education will be at the epicenter of that change. The shift towards immersive learning, AI-driven personalization, and continuous monitoring is set to revolutionize how we learn and adapt.

“The educational journey will be tailored to each individual’s purpose and passion, with the classroom expanding beyond its physical constraints and revolutionizing education.

“By looking ahead to 2050, we get a glimpse of what is to come – and the results are fascinating.”

GoStudent, an online tutoring provider and education platform, is at the forefront of transforming education through tailored 1:1 learning, looking to leverage technological advancements to progress the education system and, ultimately, empower students worldwide.

Co-founder and CEO Felix Oswald said: “Education is at an inflection point. Historically, learning was exclusive, very personalized and highly inaccessible.

“We’re excited to see how education will evolve, and what this means for us as we continue our mission to reimagine education.”

Google’s Race For AI Dominance Against Microsoft Still On, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai Suggests

Birmingham Times

September 11, 2023

By Natan Ponieman

“I want people to know that we made them dance,” said Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella in a recent interview, when discussing his company’s success in beating Google to the punch on artificial intelligence.

For Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) — Google’s parent company — it doesn’t matter who gets the early start, but rather who wins the race.

Earlier this year, Microsoft released a generative AI chatbot based on ChatGPT as a part of its Bing search engine. Google was forced to rush out an untested version of its own search engine chat companion, Bard.

“In cricket, there’s a saying that you let the bat do the talking,” said Pichai in an interview with Wired’s Steven Levy. Besides serving as a snappy reference to the national sport of both Indian-born executives, the saying explains Pichai’s vision for the role that AI could have in his company’s future.

“It really won’t matter in the next five to 10 years,” said Pichai, who sees a silver lining in competitors releasing earlier versions of generative AI to the public: he believes Google can do even more after people have seen and understood how AI technology works.

In April, Pichai ordered Google’s two separate artificial intelligence divisions to merge, creating one super-powerful partnership between two of the world’s most advanced AI labs, Deep Mind and Google Brain.

“They were focused on different problems, but there was a lot more collaboration than people knew,” he said. Some commentators, however, read the merger as a panic-fueled measure to speed up the development of AI against rising competition from Microsoft and other companies like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which has been pushing hard on AI in its cloud services since April.

Late last month, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian announced that Google is also planning to expand its AI offering within cloud services. For this, the company’s collaboration with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) as the foremost producer of the high-profile chips needed for large language model training is key. Pichai said he’s optimistic about the long-lasting relationship between the two companies.

Amazon’s Alexa also stands as a competitor in Google’s race to extend its web dominance into the conversational AI field. Google recently “supercharged” Google Assistant (which is Android’s version of Apple’s Siri) with generative AI capabilities.

Pichai says that since becoming Google’s CEO in 2015, “it was clear that deep neural networks were going to profoundly change everything.”

That’s the reason Alphabet is now internally considered to be an AI-first company, with large-language models receiving the largest chunk of the R&D budget.

Pichai says he and his company are firm supporters of government regulation for AI. The dangers that rapid AI penetration poses for society are so large that the White House has been consistently pushing for regulation, with President Joe Biden recently saying that “we’ve got to move fast here.”

Pichai said “AI is one of the most profound technologies we will ever work on. There are short-term risks, midterm risks and long-term risks.”

In the short-term, so-called “hallucination” of large-language models, by which conversational AI will make up data to satisfy a user’s query, can be some of the most troublesome challenges.

“So right now, responsibility is about testing it for safety and ensuring it doesn’t harm privacy and introduce bias,” he said.

For the medium-term, the impact of AI in the workforce becomes a more urgent matter. The impact of AI in the labor market could have vast consequences on the global economy, and that’s another place where regulation can help to achieve a soft landing.

In the long-term, the worries for AI are whether the building machines that are smarter than us poses an existential threat to humanity and whether more advanced models will be aligned with human values.
