Anyone got something generic we could use? Thanks

I have about 12-15 sets of TxDOT construction plans for jobs anywhere from East Texas to Abilene. I think that should about cover it. Speaking of which, I still need to go to Abilene one day this week.

In most places as long as you aren't part of the problem you don't need any documentation. Just be sure your actually out on essential business. Don't try to stretch the definition.
Here in Oregon, the Governor stated which businesses had to close. If you were not on the list, surveyors were not, then you had to meet certain conditions to remain open. You have to have a written policy to cover distancing and other issues. My field crew is using separate vehicles and mappers are working from home.
However, the phone has stopped ringing and new work has slowed to almost nothing.

Got an email from one of the boards saying we are essential if we think we are. Put yellow highlighter over the title and the essential part and figured I would keep it in the truck and display it if stopped. At least it's something.?ÿ
@brad-ott "there won't be any construction getting down if surveyors aren't allowed to work." Insert motown music here.
randy- y'all being pestered about this?

@mightymoe - which board?
@mightymoe thanks
@mightymoe reason I asked is that in recent informal communication between some of the surveying/engineering licensing boards, it appeared that most boards believed they were not authorized to state whether surveying was essential at this time or not.
It's vague, if I think I am then proceed accordingly. However, what I'm doing now I would consider essential. Frankly, I won't be making contact with anyone that doesn't seek me out.
Use the smell test.
A couple of Surveyors came over and topo'd my backyard on Friday for the project next door. The reason is we have the drainage easement that serves that lot. Unfortunately in 1981 the County didn't require the pipe actually get installed (dumb), just the easement as part of the subdivision.
Anyway I guess they thought they are essential.
Most important form in the truck is the Site Specific Safety Plan. Fill it out every single time.
In fact, drove up to frisco today to as-built some utilities. 6 hours on the road, saw exactly one police car all day. Well, ok, there were two doing lane blocking for construction, but those guys are just playing Tetris in their cars...
Driving a few over the speed limit on the Interstate through north Portland late yesterday afternoon. Normally, that's a bumper to bumper crawl. Yesterday, there was a motorcycle cop with a radar gun. No, he didn't get me.?ÿ?ÿ
I just printed out the Executive Order and highlighed "Land Surveyors".
