Profiling and Reemployment Services, October 2003

It’s a way to help you move from unemployment to reemployment with customized services that meet your individual needs and take you where you want to go — back to work! Profiling is done in the early stages of your unemployment insurance claim by looking at certain factors, such as previous occupation, previous industry, education, duration of employment, wages, etc. Depending on the availability of services, some people identified by Iowa Workforce Development Centers during this profiling process will be offered the opportunity to benefit from additional reemployment services.

Pavement Profiling by Milling, Addendum to HR-283, 1988

Iowa DOT research in 1986, demonstrated that carbide tooth milling can produce an acceptable surface texture. Based upon that research, specifications were developed for "Pavement Surface Repair (Milling)". This specification was applied to reprofile a nine-mile section of badly faulted portland cement concrete (pcc) pavement on route 163 just east of Des Moines. The Profile Index (measured with a 25-foot California Profilograph) was improved from an average of 55.2 inches per mile prior to milling to 10.6 inches per mile after milling. The bid price was $0.75 per square yard for pcc containing limestone coarse aggregate and $1.21 for pcc containing gravel coarse aggregate. Carbide tooth milling should be considered as an acceptable alternate method of reprofiling even though there is some spalling of joints.
