“Tad Agoglia is almost looked upon as an angel here in Parkersburg, Iowa,”said city administrator Chris Luhring. Agoglia doesn’t have wings, as it turnsout, but his story does have a Christmas feel.

Two years ago, Agoglia converted his profitable disaster response andcleanup company to a nonprofit foundation. He left his home and went on theroad where he spends all year donating his expertise to stricken communitiesand seeking support and training for his team. Several leading equipment man-ufacturers and construction industry companies have caught the giving spirit andare backing him with money and machinery.

“When you meet him, you’ll quickly see that his passion is unprecedented,”said Darrin Foulk, vice president of Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co., whichhas Caterpillar dealerships across Pennsylvania.

Foulk speaks from experience. He met Agoglia when the latter entered aCleveland Brothers branch in Lancaster to buy a piece of equipment. The com-pany executive overheard Agoglia’s story and invited him to dinner.

By the time they folded their napkins and pushed away from the table,Agoglia had been offered a Cat skid steer under cost as well as donated cablesfor his generator and a full complement of spare parts for his mechanical repairtruck. Not finished, Foulk rang up two other equipment manufacturers and per-suaded them to help out with major pieces of equipment.

“These are the unique kinds of people I have been meeting lately,” Agogliasaid, reflecting on the $800,000 in equipment received in the last two months.“I can’t explain it. They offer their help with no strings attached and the teamkeeps responding.”

A $35 million highwayimprovement project — aimedat reducing congestion alongHighway 50 and connectingPlacerville’s business districts— was recently completedwithin the city.

By Erik PisorCEG CORRESPONDENT

Located along California’s main route to and from South Lake Tahoe,U.S. Highway 50, the city of Placerville typically is not the site of larg-er, highway construction projects, as the city has a population of around10,000.

However, a $35 million highway improvement project — aimed atreducing congestion along Highway 50 and connecting Placerville’sbusiness districts — was recently completed within the city.

As of October, San Francisco-based Mitchell Engineering had fin-ished work on the U.S. Highway 50 Operational Improvement Project,which began in June 2006, according to Mic Restaino, resident engineerfor Caltrans District 3.

Spanning 1.4 mi. (2.2 km), the project consisted of bridge wideningand replacement, the relocation of sewer lines, the building of a directconnection between two Placerville streets and highway widening.

Construction of the project was broken down in two stages, with fiveto six sub- stages of construction occurring at each location, said

Annual Chicago Construction Expo Draws Nears

By Lori LovelyCEG CORRESPONDENT

For the third time in 20 years, Mike Myszkowski,Illinois Department of Transportation engineer, isresurfacing the Bishop Ford Freeway just outside ofChicago. In 1989, a “surface fix” was performed,putting down a 2-in. (5 cm) layer of asphalt. In 1998,the work needed to be repeated, due to wear causedby heavy traffic. Nearly 10 years later, the road onceagain needs repair.The current rehabilitation project involves resur-facing all lanes and shoulders of the 9-mi. (14.5 km)stretch of freeway between Martin Luther KingDrive and 159th Street, as well as pavement patch-ing, bridge repairs, new guardrail installation andexit/entrance ramp resurfacing — including theStony Island Feeder Ramp.One of nearly 250 “shovel-ready” constructionprojects in Illinois, the $27.5 million job, funded bythe Stimulus Plan — President Obama’s AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act, is a joint ventureheaded by Chicago area-based Gallagher Asphaltand K-Five Construction.

CEG CORRESPONDENTWhen the U.S. Senate failed in September to enact six-year transporta-tion legislation or to extend the existing funding authority in a responsible it created a billion-dollar-a-month hole for the construction industry“The baseline for the federal highway account is reduced by a billiondollars each month we have a continuing resolution,” said Tony Dorseymedia spokesman of the American Association of State Highway andTransportation Officials (AASHTO). “It will cost our members one bil-lion dollars every month we have a resolution.” While the huge loss is mostly on paper — so far — it nonetheless is a

drag on the construction economy Here’ the deal: Though the Senate agreed with the House at the very last moment to aone-month extension of existing transportation funding authority, senatorsfailed to include a provision to roll back funding rescissions stipulated inthe last six-year bill. The $8.7 billion in rescission money was a book-keeping method of understating the true cost of SAFETEA-LU, whichwas passed in 2005 (two years into the six years of its effective authority).The sleight of hand was needed to help win legislative support. Howeverthe scheduled rescissions never were voided, as planned, and inadvertent-ly became effective Oct. 1.“For most states, it is not hard cash money just promise money ” said

Congress Lags on Highway Bill Extension

Start Us Up USA!, a nationwide grass-roots campaign of the construction equip-ment industry and their allies, descendedupon Chicago Oct. 20 with a rally of localbusiness and labor leaders and construc-tion workers calling on the federal gov-ernment to move quickly on the reautho-rization of a critical transportation bill. New transportation funding is neces-sary to improve the nation’s infrastructureand spur a recovery of the constructionequipment industry especially in hard-hitstates like Illinois. The rally was followed

by a caravan of construction equipment,idled by the lack of federal support, parad-ing around Soldier Field to urge the feder-al government to stop job loss.“The construction equipment industryis in a deep depression and we have lost33,000 jobs in Illinois and 37 percent ofour workforce nationwide the past fewyears,” said Toby Mack, president andCEO of the Associated EquipmentDistributors (AED), based in Oak Brook,Ill.

To bring the project up to speed, MCSI used one of its four TEI drills, an HEM-300HT,mounted on a Link-Belt 130LX excavator.

By Rebecca RagainCEG CORRESPONDENT

This fall, Mays Construction Specialties Inc.(MCSI) tackled a job that was high profile, inmore ways than one.

Telluride Ski Resort in the Colorado Rockieswas creating a new trail to improve access to aseries of ski chutes on Gold Hill Ridge. Becauseprogress was slow and winter weather fastapproaching, the resort brought in Grand-Junction-based MCSI to speed up blast holedrilling.

“They were running out of time for weather,”said MCSI Vice President Kyle Vanderberg.“They actually started the drilling using some

hand drills…we were able to actually expeditethe drilling 10-fold, compared to what theywere doing.”

To bring the project up to speed, MCSI usedone of its four TEI drills, an HEM-300HT,mounted on a Link-Belt 130LX excavator.Because the drill could be detached and thebucket re-attached to the excavator, MCSI wasable to use the excavator for both rock removaland drilling.

Vanderberg said, “That was a big plus: onepiece of equipment playing two roles.”

By Pete SigmundCEG EDITORIAL CONSULTANT

Sizable growth in new construction ofsingle-family homes and a high level of con-struction of roads and bridges are positiveexpectations for 2010 as the industry and thenation hope for a stronger economic recov-ery from high unemployment, foreclosures,bankruptcies and other continuing myriadproblems.

Single-family housing starts are a very-important leading indicator for the nationaleconomy.

“We think we saw the bottom of the curvein the first quarter of 2009, and then salesstarted to slowly improve,” Markstein said.“In March, we hit 332,000 sales of single-family homes. In October, however, newhousing starts were up 5.1 percent over 2008and 6.2 percent over September. As the

Record Infrastructure Spending Aided by Government upturn continues, it will help pull the nation-al economy out of recession. Residentialconstruction accounts for about 15 percentor 16 percent of gross domestic product[GDP] — about 3 percent from direct con-struction and the rest from housing-relatedservices like appliances. Though theimprovement in starts is relatively slowcompared with previous recoveries becauseof obstacles like tight financing, we see theeconomy, including construction andemployment, turning around during the sec-ond or third quarter of 2010.”

Another bright spot was that sales ofexisting homes inOctober were 23.5percent higher thanOctober 2008, and10.1 percent higherthan in September2009. (Note: this is forall existing sales, sin-gle-family and condo.Comparable single-family sales numberswere 21.4 percent and9.7 percent, respec-tively. The medianprice of a single familyhome was $173,100 inOctober, down 6.8percent than the yearbefore.)

The NationalAssociation ofRealtors reported onDec. 22 that sales ofexisting homes inNovember were 44.1percent higher than in November 2008, and7.4 percent above October 2009.

Other building areas aren’t coming backas fast as the single-family area. Multi-fami-ly starts fell 54 percent in 2009 but areexpected to improve 16 percent in dollarsand 14 percent in units in 2010, according tothe 2010 Construction Outlook fromMcGraw-Hill Construction in New York.“This still leaves activity about even with thebottom of the early 1990’s recession,” theOutlook said. Construction of nonresidentialbuildings has been much weaker throughmost of 2009, though it climbed 19 percentin October to $177.9 billion (annual rate).

“For nonresidential building, much of2009 has been characterized by a steep lossof momentum, so October’s gain representsa departure from recent experience,” theOutlook added, saying commercial buildingstarts dropped 43 percent during 2009 andare expected to drop another 4 percent indollar terms in 2010.

Reed Construction Data reported in earlyDecember, however, that the value of non-

residential construction starts in Novemberwas “more than a 20 percent increase afterseasonal adjustment” from the October total,with nonresidential starts increasing 16 per-cent.

Ken Simonson, chief economist of theAssociated General Contractors of America(AGC) in Arlington, Va., said that single-family housing construction spending “willbe up 20 percent to 30 percent in 2010 off avery-low base [compared with 2009] whilemulti-family construction spending willprobably be down 20 to 30 percent.”

Simonson thus saw a mixed picture forthe residential construction industry at pres-

ent, rather than a full-fledged recovery. “Family homebuilding, helped selectively

by stimulus legislation, is on the cusp of astrong comeback in percentage terms,” hesaid, “but this will not be enough to offset thecontinuing drop in multi-family and privatenon-residential work. I think we are in for agradual improvement in economic condi-tions overall in 2010 bit by bit, but it will bevery uneven and I think construction will befar behind. I think we will see more con-struction of universities and hospitals duringthe second half of 2010, but most segmentswill not improve until 2011. The construc-tion industry isn’t in recovery yet.”

Robert A. Murray, vice president of eco-nomics of McGraw-Hill Construction, saidin a telephone interview with CEG: “To sayconstruction is in recovery is premature. Itdepends on whether you’re looking at con-struction spending vs. starts, on the type ofprojects and on the timeframe, such as yearover year, or month over month. Our fore-cast calls for a 25 percent decline in the dol-lar value of construction starts in 2009.

Construction spending is down 13 percentthrough the first 10 months of 2009. Giventhe leading relation of starts to spending, itsuggests that spending will continue toweaken into 2010. At the same time, we’realso looking at an 11 percent improvementin starts, to $466.2 billion in 2010.”

Murray added: “Single-family housinghas reached bottom and has begun to edgeupward. Highway and bridge work hasimproved in 2009 and this should continuein 2010, supported by the Federal StimulusAct. Environmental public works has yet tosee much improvement in 2009, but, sup-ported by the stimulus act, should strengthen

in 2010. Courthouse projects have pickedup, thanks to the stimulus, and the benefits toa broader range of institutional types, includ-ing health care projects, should continue. Wesee modest support for multi-family housingas the result of funding from Housing andUrban Development. In contrast, commer-cial building is looking at a difficult year in2010 following a steep decline in 2009.Bank lending standards remain very tight.Even if bank lending shows some improve-ment in 2010, weak employment means thatthe market fundamentals for commercialbuilding will continue to deteriorate, withrising vacancies.”

Stimulus Act Aids Highway Construction

Record infrastructure spending on high-ways and bridges will provide more work in2010.

The $787 billion American Recovery andReinvestment Act (ARRA) included $27.5billion for this sector, which currentlyaccounts for about 12 percent of the con-

struction market. This is in addition to anestimated $41.2 billion in Fiscal 2010 appro-priations for the highway program.

(As CEG went to press, the House ofRepresentatives in late December passedanother jobs creation stimulus bill, whichincludes an additional $27.5 billion for high-ways and bridges.)

“This is a record level of federal invest-ment through the federal aid program andthe extra stimulus funds,” said Alison PremoBlack, vice president of policy and econo-mist of the American Road & TransportationBuilders Association (ARTBA) inWashington, D.C. “We expect that the value

of highway, street andbridge construction putin place during 2010will reach 90.5 billion.The real value of con-struction put in placehas also increased in2009, to $83 billion ormaybe a little higher,due to a combined eas-ing of material pricesand the extra spendingfrom the stimulus pro-gram. The highwayconstruction marketshould grow eight per-cent next year, aidedby extra money fromfederal investment andby easing of materialprices.”

Black is worried,however, about a pos-sible contraction of themarket in 2011.

“The stimulus was a one-time injection,”she told CEG. “It helped this year and cer-tainly will help the market next year, butbecause it’s not a sustained increase in fund-ing you will have some market contraction,which could be a status quo year [in 2011].Our model is forecasting a contraction in2011 absent increased funding from eitherfederal, state or local governments, as thestimulus spending works its way through themarket. Our model indicates that a robustfederal investment would create a ‘soft land-ing,’ or even some growth, in 2011.”

“The stimulus kept 2009 from being a dis-aster,” said Ken Simonson, the AGC econo-mist. “State DOTs were busy reducing theirplanned lettings, but once the Presidentsigned the stimulus bill, they were able torestore a lot of projects. We estimate therecovery act included $135 billion for con-struction, of which $27.5 billion was forhighways. The highway money was award-ed quite promptly. The rest has not yet been

AED President Assesses Economic Outlook for Dealers

awarded or spent, so I think in 2010you will see more and more stimulusmoney showing up in other areas.”

The American Association of StateHighway and Transportation Officials(AASHTO) in Washington, D.C.,reported that, as of Nov. 20, 2009, atotal of 10,600 transportation projectsworth more than $30 billion have beenapproved for funding under ARRA.

“Of the 9,300 highway constructionprojects authorized to date, more thanhalf — 5,458 projects — were eitherunder construction or had already beencompleted,” AASHTO said, alsoreporting 355 airport projects worth$1.08 billion and 690 transit grantsworth $7.19 billion have beenapproved. It also told Congress thatstate transportation departments haveidentified 9,500 highway, bridge, port,rail and aviation projects worth morethan $69 billion that, if funded, “can beused to create hundreds of thousands ofjobs across the country.” It said most ofthese projects were “ready to go,”meaning they can move through thefederal approval process within 120days of authorizing legislation. Thereport was based on responses from 50states and the District of Columbia.

ARTBA’s Black reported in a Dec. 7release that “another indicator of workto come is the high level of obligationsfor ARRA funding — over 77 percentof stimulus funds have been obligated,but only $4 billion, or 16 percent of thetotal funding available, has been paid tocontractors.”

“When you add it all up, there is a lotof work to be completed in the coming

year,” she said.

Reauthorizing the Highway Bill

The SAFETEA-LU transportationbill, enacted in 2005, provided morethan $286 billion for highways, bridgeand transit. It expired Sept. 30, 2009.Since then, continuing resolutions inCongress, and the new ARRA money,have funded continued work.

President Obama has suggested an18-month extension of SAFETEA-LU.

“It’s a very-fluid situation with dif-ferences between the House, Senateand the Obama resolution,” saidARTBA’s Black.

Black said that “industry does notlike short-term extensions becausemoney is given out in dribs and drabs;states might hold out on spending thatmoney until they are more confident onwhat that spending stream will be forthe year.

“At ARTBA we will advocate a six-year bill,” Black added. “A longer peri-od helps contractors plan their capitalspending on project equipment becausethey know they will have a certainstream of revenue from the federal aidprogram, which is about 34 percent ofthe [highway and bridge] market andreally helps create stability in this mar-ket. You don’t see this stability in otherconstruction sectors. The stimulus isnot a substitute for a sustained,increased, federal investment in high-ways and bridges. Federal investmentis approximately 40 to 45 percent oftotal capital outlays for highways andbridges in the United States.”

William R. Buechner, ARTBA’s vicepresident of economics and research,

said that, without a long-term surfacetransportation investment bill, “condi-tions are again lined up to kill jobgrowth in the construction sector andrelated industries” Warning that with-out such a bill, “we’re looking at a con-stricting or flat market for the next sev-eral years,” he said surveys found that15 states cut transportation programfunding in 2009 and 19 states wereplanning to cut such funding in 2010.

“I think Congress will keep passingshort-term extensions at current levels,and then some one-shot funding, asthey did in the stimulus bill,” saidAGC’s Simonson.

The House Transportation andInfrastructure Committee has proposeda $500-billion six-year bill, called theSurface Transportation AuthorizationAct of 2009.

Christian Klein, vice president, gov-ernment affairs, and WashingtonCounsel for the Associated EquipmentDistributors (AED) Washington, D.C.,office, commented to CEG: “The mostimportant thing we’re working on is thehighway bill because the uncertaintysurrounding the highway reauthoriza-tion has caused chaos in the equipmentmarket. Contractors are sitting on theirhands. They’re not buying equipmentbecause they have no idea how muchmoney is coming down the pike. Theydon’t know if highway funding isgoing to increase, decrease or stay thesame. A robust multi-year highway billis the single most important thingCongress can do to introduce stabilityin construction.”

Klein also asserted: “Stimulusmoney has helped and has saved jobs,



AED: Working to Create

a Better 2010In the following interview with Construction

Equipment Guide (CEG), Toby Mack, presidentand chief executive officer of the AssociatedEquipment Distributors (AED) in Oak Brook, Ill.,assessed the economic challenges facing dealers.

Could you assess the current status of the equipment

distributor business?There’s not much good news. Our industry

remains at or near the bottom of the [business]cycle. If you talk to most equipment dealers you’llfind that they are not sure if they have even hitbottom yet. There still could be some furtherweakness in the first or second quarter of 2010beyond where we are right now. That’s not veryencouraging.

What are the positives in the current market?

One of the most hopeful things, which also willbe very difficult to materialize, is governmentaccelerating their passage of a multi-year high-way bill, which is the thing, which a lot of con-tractors are going to need to see before they aregoing to be willing to invest in a long-term asset.They will do that when they see a long-term uti-lization prospect. A multi-year highway bill willdo that for many categories of equipment. Adependable, consistent, multi-year bill is thebiggest hope out there for a piece of equipment,which has a utilization prospect of three, five, ormore years.

If that passed, would business pick up for dealers?

Sure. That’s one of the things historically thathas driven a lot of activity at the dealer level, notjust new machine deliveries but support, rentals,parts. It’s all very much underpinned by highwayand other kinds of infrastructure projects. Sothat’s the one thing that could turn things around.Having just returned from Washington, I wouldsay it’s going to be a struggle to get that donemuch before the middle of next year and possi-bly later, so we’re not going to see any effectsthat might have come into play until later in2010, if that.

Slow Improvement in Unemployment Situation Predictedbut it has often gone out to small projectslike repaving, not on big capital projects thatwill be a long-term infrastructure approach.It’s a short burst, not a long-term recoveryplan. The better way to do it is to have amulti-year investment plan over the next sixyear, providing in the area of 100 percentmore than we’ve spent over the last sixyears. What part of job creation don’t they[Congress] understand?”

Dealers Voice Serious Concerns

Toby Mack, president and chief executiveofficer of the Associated EquipmentDistributors (AED) in Oak Brook, Ill., saidin a telephone interview with CEG the con-struction industry “remains at or near thebottom of the [business] cycle,” with muchuncertainty among equipment dealers.

AED’s Klein told CEG: “AED and theAssociation of Equipment Manufacturers[AEM] have concluded in a report on theeconomic health of our industry that, since2006, equipment manufacturers and distrib-utors have collectively laid off 37 percent oftheir workforce.”

Klein said the loss includes 257,000 directjobs in the equipment industry plus another

274,000 indirect jobs like people servicingbeverage machines at distributor and manu-facturer locations.

“We conclude that two out of every 25jobs lost since the recession began in 2006can be linked the downturn in our industry,”he said, adding: “Another big thing is tightcredit. The entire supply chain is affected.Developers can’t get credit to build projects.Contractors can’t get credit to buy equip-ment. Distributors can’t get credit to run theircompanies. Manufacturers can’t get credit torun their businesses. The credit chaos is

throughout construction.”

Worries Continue About HighwayTrust Fund.

“It is clear that there is not enough rev-enue going into the Highway Trust Fund

[HTF] to support the level of investmentneeded to maintain or improve the existingtransportation network,” ARTBA’s Blacktold CEG. “There is a cumulative $90.4 bil-lion dollar gap for Fiscal Year 2010 through2015 between the current baseline of fund-ing under the existing law and what theHTF can support absent new revenues.”

Easing UnemploymentThe increased single-family housing and

highway work are seen as hopeful signs foreasing high unemployment in construction.The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported onDec. 4 that the unemployment rate in con-struction rose to 19.4 percent in November,the highest of any industry, with the loss of27,700 construction jobs.

Nationally, the rate for all industries fellfrom 10.2 percent to 10 percent.

McGraw-Hill’s Robert Murray comment-ed to CEG: “Some improvement may be


How many jobs have beenlost in the equipment dis-

tributor field?About 550,000 (Editors Note: This

figure includes indirect jobs, likefood and beverage workers depend-ing on dealer business.) That was asof September. We think there hasbeen substantial additional job losssince then. We wouldn’t be surprisedto see some additional job lossbetween now and the end of the firsthalf. So it’s just not a pretty picture.

Are there any brightspots?

Dealers who either by geographyor customer base are serving metalextraction or energy productionmarkets. Coal mining has been a lit-tle bit better. Gold has been strong,of course. Anything related to oilfields has been good. Some dealersalso have some presence in agricul-ture, and that has certainly beenhealthier than construction. If youare a dealer in the mining or agri-culture area, you are probablydoing better than the guys whodepend on construction.

How many dealershave gone out of busi-

ness?I don’t have any metric for you on

that, but we have seen quite a bit of

it, not just closing up, but beingacquired by neighboring dealers.There have also been some flat-outbusiness failures. It’s just gut-wrench-ing to see it because a lot of thesecompanies which have been in busi-ness for a couple of generations —30, 40, 50, 60 years in some cases— are just not going to be able tomake it. We’re doing everything wecan as an association to buoy themarket and help companies strugglethrough and continue to hang on bytheir fingernails. It’s tough. You talkto any one of them and you’ll get thesame story. There’s just nothinggoing on out there

That includes both used and new equipment?

Used is in rough shape, too,because as companies have tried toscale down, they’ve had to shedrental fleets and inventory. That hasput a lot of iron out on the usedequipment market. Then, of course,when you have no end demand anda lot of supply, will have a down-ward effect on prices. With very fewcustomers for rental fleets, there’s nota lot of rental demand and so rentalutilization and rental rates are down.Then you have the product supportbusiness.

SECT IONPaving

Automation Right On Track at Raceway in ArizonaBy Daniel C. Brown SPECIAL TO CEG

A non-contacting asphalt paving systemhelped an Arizona contractor to achieveexceptional pavement smoothness and a 70percent increase in production on a racetrack near Phoenix.

Last fall, Ace Asphalt of Arizona Inc. usedhot mix asphalt to pave the two straight-aways of a nearly 6-mi. (9.7 km) oval thatmeasures 39 ft. (11.9 m) wide with bankedcurves at the ends.

The smoothness spec was exceptionallystringent, but Ace rose to the challenge, saidJosh Phillips, project manager. The projectcalled for the pavement smoothness at 4 in.(10 cm) of total deviation per mi. from a one-quarter inch null (blanking) band on a high-speed profilograph. A typical Arizona trans-portation department spec is 6 in. (15 cm)per mi. Ace’s average for this project: Onepoint one (1.1) in. (2.8 cm) per mile.

“If we could have gotten within 2 inchesper mile, the customer would have beenhappy,” said Phillips. “Previous to our resur-facing, the existing pavement measured 2.5inches per mile in the wheel paths, and 8 to10 inches per mile at the joints. So wesmoothed it out significantly.”

Phillips gave a great deal of credit for thesmoothness to a Topcon System 5 SonicAveraging System. Using that system, Aceran two 30-ft. (9 m) long non-contact skis,one on each side of the Ingersoll Rand paver.

Four trackers are suspended from each ski.The trackers have transducers that “read” thesurface beside the paver, use it as a grade ref-erence, and send messages to a System 5controller on each side of the paver.

The controller “does the math,” by aver-aging the readings from the four trackers.That way the length of the ski averages outthe highs and the lows in the reference gradeor pavement. In turn, the controllers sendmessages to the hydraulic valve that controlsthe paver’s tow-point cylinders, which auto-matically raise or lower the screed. The skis“take out the highs and lows” of the refer-ence grade and produce a more consistentbasis for pavement depth, according to themanufacturer.

Boost in Production Automating the pavement depth control

not only produced a smooth pavement, ithelped Ace boost production.

“Without it we could only pave at 175tons per hour,” said Phillips. “With the auto-mated control we paved at 300 tons per hour,or about 45 to 50 feet per minute. You’reable to set and maintain a certain speed.Once we set up that System 5, we didn’t stopthe paver until we reached the other end. Thesystem removes human error from the equa-tion.”

Ace placed the new pavement in two liftsof 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) thickness for each lift. Forthe first lift the contractor laid an 11-ft. (3.3m)-wide pass and two passes at 14 ft. (4.3 m)

wide. In the next lift up, Ace staggered thelongitudinal joints by paving three 13-ft. (4m) wide passes. That helped smoothness,because the System 5 trackers never read ajoint below to pave the second lift.

“When we started, the System 5 readgrade off the paved shoulder on the outsideand off the milled surface on the inside,” saidPhillips. “Then after the first pass we couldread off the newly-paved edge and themilled surface.

“We liked running the skis on both sides,”he said. “When you’re paving a 1.5-inchcourse of asphalt it’s very difficult to elimi-nate any irregularities by just running onesensor off the end of the screed. By doingthat you just follow the joint where you’re at.But by using a 30-foot non-contact ski onboth sides, you average out your readings onboth sides. Every time you make a pass itgets better and better.”

Sonic Feeder Sensors Ace also ran Topcon sonic feeder sensors

on both sides of the paver. Located at theends of the screed, the sensors measure thedistance from the sensor to the head of mate-rial in front of the screed. The goal is to keepa constant head of material in front of thescreed. So in fact the sensors automate thatprocess by controlling the speed of theaugers feeding asphalt.

“So no matter how fast you pave, youalways get the same amount of material atyour screed,” said Phillips. “We ran the feed-er control sensor at first on one side, not theother, and it made such a big difference thatwe put it on both sides.

“The feeder sensor eliminates what wecall ‘chatter’ in the mat,” said Phillips. “It’s aripple effect behind the screed. With thefeeder sensor you don’t get any of that.”

He said the System 5 for screed controlprevents the paving crew from making toomany manual adjustments in the screed.

“We are very happy with the System 5,”said Phillips. “And we’re very pleased withthe service from our Topcon dealer. Theywere definitely a big help in getting us set upwith the system.”

A non-contacting ski, at left, helped control mat smoothness.

A transducer uses sonar waves to “read” the surface. The System 5 control box reads out mat thickness or slope.

Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS MakingImpact With Asphalt Pavers

BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track padshave been making an impact on asphaltmilling machine users, but the trend is nowcatching on with asphalt paving machineusers. These bolt-on pads can save up to 40percent on replacement orders by reusing thesteel triple grousers and up to50 percent in labor timewhen replacing the padscompared to a standardbonded track pad, accordingto the manufacturer.

David Dunn of CaldwellPaving, in Charleston, Tenn.,purchased BLS Poly Bolt-On TUFPADS track pads forhis Leeboy 8816 asphaltpaver in early July 2008.Since then, Dunn told BLSthat the machine has beenrunning every day and hasbeen working great.

“With the rubber pads,” Dunn said, “thetrack would often spin, leading to quickerwear.”

“It would have been so much nicer if themachine came set up with PBO grousers so

we didn’t have to buy them the first time wechanged pads,” Dunn said, referring to thefact that with the BLS Poly Bolt-On system,users do not have to replace the steel triplegrouser when replacing the track pad. Thiscan save contractors 30 to 40 percent in

replacement costs and save in shipping costby not having to ship the steel triple grousershoes after the first purchase, according toBLS.

For more information, call 800/307-0299or visit www.TUFPADS.com.

Demand at area food banks has increased an estimated 30percent from this time last year. With the increase in region-wide unemployment, more and more families are strugglingto put food on the table.

“Hunger doesn’t stop after the holidays,” said WesternStates President Tom Harris. “Western States is committed togiving back to the communities in which we live and serve.We are launching the ‘Dump Hunger’ campaign as a way torally our employees and customers together to re-stock thewarehouses of our area food banks.”

On Dec. 29, Western States Equipment launched ‘DumpHunger,’ a six-week food drive that partners 13 WesternStates branch locations with local food banks within theircommunity. The post-holiday timing of Dump Hunger iscritical for food banks as January and February marks thelowest levels of food donation.

Terry Graves, food resources manager of IdahoFoodbank, said that they are facing an unprecedented need.They foresee a 30 percent increase in need over and abovethe 27 percent increase from last year.

“Food pantries also serve families and individuals that areworking and don’t earn enough to meet all of their basic

Doosan. The closer you look, the better we get.

Carroll Pons is the director of heavy equipment

operations for Plaquemines Parish, LA. After

Hurricane Katrina hit, he knew he’d have a

tough time getting his equipment working

again to help in the clean-up. But he never

expected anything like this. The parish’s Doosan

excavator had been submerged in 20 feet of

saltwater for two weeks. Part of a roof was stuck

in the boom. Though he thought it was a goner,

it was worth a try. So Pons called M&L Industries, his Doosan dealer for 10 years. They drained 60 gallons of seawater

from the engine compartment and did some minor repairs. Four hours later, our excavator roared to life and headed off

to help clean up. Talk about durability! Want to see for yourself what a Doosan can do? Tell us you want a free demo.

needs,” said Graves. “Most people use a food pantry forabout six months to help them through a rough financialperiod, they are not permanent recipients.”

Due to the increased need, Western States has set a goal ofgathering 150,000 lbs. of food, an increase over 116,000from last year.

“We understand that food pantries are empty in January,”said Harris. “In addition to increasing our goal for gatheringmore food, Western States will contribute $1 for every 5pounds of food collected, up to a $17,000 dollar match.”

“We are excited to partner with Western States again this

year for Dump Hunger,” said Graves. “Based on the successfrom last year, we were able to feed hundreds of families. Welook forward to seeing how Western States and the commu-nity Dump Hunger again this year.”

Dump Hunger seeks to secure enough food to fill the bedof two Cat 730 dump trucks, the industry’s largest payloadvehicle in its class, each truck capable of holding 75,000 lbs.of food. Donations to the campaign can be brought to any ofthe Western States branch locations.

said Vanderberg. “If there was a very largestorm toward the tail end, there was the pos-sibility we wouldn’t be able to get the equip-ment back until spring.”

The combination of weather conditionsand location made personnel safety an evenhigher priority than usual. In the end,Vanderberg said it turned out to be “a nice

safe project for all involved.”An unexpected benefit of the project was

that the dramatic photos of MCSI’s drill atopthe ridge, with a backdrop of mountainranges, have been passed along within theindustry, resulting in increased exposure forMCSI as a company, said Vanderberg.

Cost of Some Construction Materials Edging Upwardspossible by the end of 2010 butmore substantial gains in con-struction industry employmentwill probably have to wait until2011.”

Materials Costs The costs of many construc-

tion materials are edgingupwards. The BLS said theproducer price index (PPI) forfinished goods “spurted 1.8percent in November,” includ-ing a 7 percent jump in crudepetroleum prices.

“Even aside from the oil-price leap, construction materi-als costs appear to have endedtheir slide, as shown by recentthree-month trends,” the BLSadded.

AGC’s Ken Simonson toldCEG: “I think materials costshave probably bottomed outand at best will hold level in2010, but there’s a risk thatthey will jump again. Steel hasthe greatest chance of showinga price increase.”


will have less product support business. Itjust is not a very good picture.

How about a turnaround?We can’t point to a turnaround

dynamic in play right now. If the housingmarket picks up, it would be a goodthing. The House has just passed anotherstimulus bill, which they’re calling theJobs Creation Bill. It has another $27.5billion of highway and bridge money init. We also have the stimulus bill, whichwas signed into law early in 2009. Sothe House has passed it, but it has somedifficult prospects in the Senate, whichwill not be able to take it up until some-time next year, hopefully early. There’s alot of pushback on it because it relies onremaining TARP money that’s comingfrom the paybacks and the unspent bal-ances. There’s a pretty strong headwindagainst that in the Senate. We don’tknow if the new bill has too much of aprospect or not. We’re doing everything

we can as an organization [to make ithappen], along with the Association ofEquipment Manufacturers [AEM]. We,and AEM leaders, went from Senateoffice to Senate office, and House officeto House office, trying to beat the drumsfor the message that we’re taking toWashington, that this is a job loss catas-trophe for the country — 550,000 jobslost as of last September and, Lordknows, there could be 100,000 or200,000 more since then by the middleof next year. There’s no way you will geta solid recovery in the overall economywith those kinds of numbers just from ourindustry.So how do you view 2010

for equipment dealers?There’s some talk of maybe the possi-

bility of 10 percent uptick in 2010, mostof which will be in the second half, butyou’re going up 10 percent from a mar-ket which was down 40 percent in2009. The uptick would be based on

residential construction and maybe somemore of the 2009 stimulus money gettingspent. Quite a bit of it hasn’t been obli-gated yet. That could possibly drivesome more activity. And then if theSenate goes along with the House onStimulus 2 that would essentially doublewhat was put into the market by the firststimulus bill.

What sectors of equipmenthave been hardest-hit?

Earthmoving equipment is probablythe worst. You talk to dealers and youtypically hear new machine deliveryrates down 50, 60 or 70 percent.

We very much appreciate your time.

It wasn’t very good news, was it? It’sreal. It’s what’s out there. There’s no pointin sugar coating it.

Caltrans crews have completed both thereplacement of the damaged portion of theeyebar on the East Span of the Bay Bridge,and the removal of the temporary fixinstalled in October.

Caltrans began its long-term repair of the

failed eyebar on the San Francisco-OaklandBay Bridge Dec. 11. The damaged eyebarwas discovered during the Labor Day week-end bridge closure.

Work on the eyebar did not require a fullbridge closure; instead, crews workedovernight, which required three lanes toclose on the upper deck and one lane on thelower deck. The repair and related lane clo-sures lasted approximately three weeks

“This is the right fix and a long-term onethat should keep the 73-year old bridge saferuntil it is replaced,” said Caltrans DirectorRandell Iwasaki.

The design of the long-term repair wasdone by Caltrans, with input and assistancefrom independent experts and the contractor,American Bridge-Fluor (A Joint Venture),which is the primary contractor building theself-anchored suspension span on the newBay Bridge and has a significant amount ofexperience in steel bridge erection andrepair, including the repair of eyebars.

The repair entailed cutting and removingapproximately 12 ft. (3.6 m) of the crackedeyebar, and replacing the removed sectionwith new structural steel that was splicedonto the remainder of the existing eyebar.

Expert input was provided by Frieder

Seible, dean of the Jacobs School ofEngineering at the University of Californiaat San Diego, member of the Toll BridgeProgram’s Seismic Safety Peer ReviewPanel and former adjunct professor ofEngineering at Columbia University;Ahmad Itani, professor in the Department ofCivil and Environmental Engineering at theUniversity of Nevada at Reno; and FederalHighway Administration Chief BridgeEngineer Myint Lwin.

Caltrans Completes Eyebar Replacement on East Span

By Erik PisorCEG CORRESPONDENT

The first major San Diego County highway project to uti-lize American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding hasbegun along State Route 76 in Oceanside, Calif.

The $181.6 million project, which will upgrade andimprove a 5.5-mi. (8.8 km) stretch of highway, will receive$75.3 million in Recovery Act funding.

“We are taking a road (SR-76) that currently exists as atwo-lane narrow, winding road and turning it into a four-laneexpressway,” said Mark Phelan, project manager forCaltrans District 11, adding widening will occur fromMelrose Drive to South Mission Road.

That portion of SR-76 has an average daily traffic volume

of 30,000, with that figure expected to double by 2030.According to Caltrans, the accident rate along SR-76 consis-tently meets or exceeds the statewide average compared tosimilar two-lane roads.

“It is an urgent project,” Phelan said, adding San Marcos-based Flatiron Inc. officially began construction on Jan. 11.

Part of the highway widening involves the construction ofa new 1,700-ft. (518 m) long bridge over the San Luis ReyRiver.

The two-lane, box-girder bridge will run parallel to theexisting San Luis Rey River bridge, which after project com-pletion will carry two lanes of one-way traffic.

During bridge construction, large rock drills will be usedfor the bridge’s piers. According to Phelan, the diameters ofthe rock drills are between 8 and 10 ft. (2.4 and 3 m).

The project has an anticipated completion date ofDecember 2012, and will be constructed in four sequences.

Sequences 1 and 2 are currently underway and involveinitial construction of the new bridge, andimprovements/widening on SR-76 between the San LuisRey River bridge and Olive Hill Road.

Throughout the next three months Flatiron will set upstorm water and clean water measures, remove brush in theproject area, and drill for bridge columns at the San Luis ReyRiver crossing, according to a Caltrans construction update.

Sequences 3 and 4 will begin in the summer of 2010 andinvolve improving SR-76 between Melrose Drive and thenew San Luis Rey River bridge, and from Olive Hill Roadand Sweetgrass Lane.

Crews to Move Nearly One MillionCubic Yards of Dirt for SR-76 Job

During all roadway improvement sequences newtraffic signals and protective concrete barriers will beinstalled to eliminate head on accidents and allow forbetter traffic management.

When the project reaches completion, Phelan esti-mates that nearly one million cubic yards of dirt willhave been moved. He also stated the project will notrepresent a large scrapper project due to the dirt androck at the jobsite, and the project’s staging.

Unlike other Caltrans jobs, this project follows adesign-sequencing model that allows Caltrans to buildproject elements, which have completed designs, whileconcurrently completing design of the remaining proj-ect elements and acquiring outstanding right of way.

“It’s almost design staging,” Phelan said. “If we wentwith the typical design-bid-build (process) we wouldprobably be delayed nine months.”

The design sequencing method looks to accelerate aproject that will have its share of challenges.

Because the project site is “butting up against” ahighly-sensitive environmental setting, Caltrans andFlatiron will coordinate with environmental monitors;be sensitive to resources adjacent to the project area;and be prepared to encounter unidentified resourcessuch as Native American burial grounds.

According to Phelan there are four endangered

species whose habitat is in or near the project area.Another project challenge includes water quality

issues associated with the river, compliance withstormwater regulations, and the possibility of winterflooding, which could impede the project schedule.

Aside from Recovery Act funding, the project alsowill receive $16.8 million in Federal DemonstrationFunds, $13.5 million in state funds, and $76 millionfrom the TransNet sales tax administered by the SanDiego Association of Governments.

The project represents the second significantimprovement to SR-76, as a project that improved thehighway from I-5 to Melrose Drive was completed in1999.

When the current SR-76 project reaches completionin late 2012, Caltrans intends to start another improve-ment job along the roadway.

The estimated $240 million project will develop afour-lane conventional highway from South MissionRoad to just east of Interstate 15. The SR-76/I-15 inter-change also will be widened.

According to Phelan, the project is currently goingthrough the environmental process and will hopefullybe complete sometime in 2014.

Caltrans Begins FinalLeg of $80.8M ProjectBy Erik PisorCEG CORRESPONDENT

In early December, Caltrans and the Fresno County TransportationAuthority announced the completion of the final segment of the StateRoute 180 (SR-180) Sequoia Freeway Project.

The $80.8 million Sequoia project constructed a new six-lane free-way in Fresno, Calif., from Clovis Avenue to Fowler Avenue, and anew four-lane freeway from Fowler Avenue to Temperance Avenue.

The final section of the project completed the Sequoia Freeway,which now extends more than 12 mi. (19 km). The project also includ-ed the construction of new interchanges at Fowler and TemperanceAvenue.

On Dec. 3, Caltrans also announced the start of construction on thefirst segment of the SR-180 East Kings Canyon Expressway Project,which will extend the highway eastward by constructing a new 6-mi.(9.6 km), four-lane expressway from Temperance Avenue to QualityAvenue.

The $67.6 million project is a partnership between Caltrans, theCouncil of Fresno County Governments and the Fresno CountyTransportation Authority.

Scheduled for a summer 2011 completion, the project is receiving$18.4 million in stimulus funding from President Obama’s AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

“Southeast Fresno presently lacks a major east-west freeway,” saidRandy Iwasaki, Caltrans Disctrict 6 director. “The Sequoia Freewayand Kings Canyon Expressway projects will provide a safe, conven-ient east-west mobility for commuters and goods.”

Caltrans Starts $29MProject South of LuciaBy Erik PisorCEG CORRESPONDENT

A $29 million project intended to project motorists from fallingrock and slides has begun in Monterey County.

The project, dubbed the Highway 1 Pitkin’s Curve Bridge andRainrocks Rockshed, began on Nov. 30 and will install a 620-ft. (188m) long bridge, and a protective cover on Highway 1 just south ofLucia.

“We are thrilled to break ground on a project that will significantlyenhance the long-term stability of the coast highway,” said District 5Director Rich Krumholz.

During the first stage of construction the roadway will be relocatedcloser to the hillside and one-way flagging operations may be in effectfrom 8 am to 4 pm Monday though Friday. By spring, a temporarytraffic signal will be in place, meaning one-way traffic control will bein effect 24/7.

The project requires four years of construction time; however, itwill go through several winter seasons, which may extend the pro-ject’s completion date depending on severity of the weather, accord-ing to Caltrans.

The project’s contractor is Golden State Bridge of Martinez, Calif.(This story also can be found on Construction Equipment
