      In all, 39 California firms representing 55 projects were recognized. 19 Honor Awards were granted to 18 firms. 26 Merit Awards were granted to 20 firms and 10 Commendation Awards were granted to 9 firms.

      The winner of the Golden State Award, an honor bestowed on the best overall project, will be announced at the Engineering Excellence Awards dinner in February 2018, which serves also as a fundraiser for the ACEC California Scholarship Foundation. Honor Award winners also are eligible to enter the national level Engineering Excellence Awards competition and will have photographic panels on display at the Capitol, outside of the Governor’s office, in early 2018, during National Engineers Week.
