Homebuilding: Stabilizing the House of Cards
The largest Recovery Act-funded transportation project in Orange County, Calif. broke ground in early November 2009 and is on pace for a late 2010 completion due to an accelerated project schedule. The $59.5 million project, which received $47.9 million in funding from President Obama’s Recovery Act, will widen 6 mi. (9.7 km) of east-
bound State Route 91 in slightly more than a year’s time. “To get job done by [the end of] 2010 we have to run concurrent activities,” said Fernando Chavarria, community relations officer of the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). “We have different crews out there performing multiple tasks. You’re having excavators, masons and carpenters out there at the same time.” see FREEWAY page 17
AGC Files Emergency Petition to Delay Diesel Retrofit Rule Citing new state data showing California’s offroad diesel equipment operators will be well below new emissions targets for years to come, a national construction association called on state officials to immediately order at least a two-year delay for their new off-road “diesel retrofit” rule. The delay is needed to avoid unnecessary losses and layoffs within the state’s hard hit construction
industry while the California Air Resources Board continues to review its diesel rules, the Associated General Contractors of America said in an emergency petition filed Jan. 11. “Contractors don’t need to retrofit, repower or replace a single piece of equipment to meet the see PETITION page 37
Homebuilding in the United States in the past decade became a gigantic house of cards, which finally collapsed in 2008. Boom went bust and homebuilders still are trying to dig themselves out of the resulting heap. A nationwide search continues for policies and business models that will deal simultaneously with foreclosures, unemployment, tight money and budget deficits. Expert industry observers cannot say exactly when homebuilding will again become a robust economic indicator. But there seems to be a consensus that the situation won’t deteriorate much further. “As far as construction goes, it has not been perfectly increasing, but it has been steadily increasing since the early part of 2009. I see 2010 as being a better year,” said David Crowe, chief economist of the National Association of Homebuilders. The statement is underwhelming because 2009 is a remarkably low benchmark. While new single-family residential construction indeed rose for the sixth consecutive month in November (1.3 percent), overall spending on homes still was 25 percent below November 2008 activity; multi-family residential building for the month was 44 percent below a year ago. General construction spending in November fell 13 percent from a year ago and recorded its lowest annual rate in six years, according to the Census Bureau. News of pending home sales also is mixed. According to the National Association of Realtors, pending sales fell dramatically in November — a see HOUSING page 20

U.S. House Passes Northern N.M. Water Settlement Bills By Heather Clark ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) Two bills that would resolve decades-long water disputes in north-central New Mexico have passed the U.S. House, Rep. Ben Ray Lujan said Jan. 21. The Taos Pueblo Indian Water Rights Settlement Act and the Aamodt Litigation Settlement Act are based on years of negotiations between American Indian leaders and local, state and federal officials. The court cases that started them were filed in the 1960s. The settlements would assure water resources for the Nambe, Pojoaque, San Ildefonso, Tesuque and Taos pueblos, while providing for the water needs of non-Indian interests in the region. The bills would authorize the secretary of the Interior to approve the settlement of water rights claims and to develop water infrastructure in the Rio Grande Basin. The Aamodt settlement calls for the construction of a regional water system in Santa Fe County that would benefit the pueblos and their neighbors.
DL Sanders, chief counsel for the State Engineer’s Office, said the federal government would pay $169 million in the Aamodt settlement for the regional water system’s construction. The state, Santa Fe County and the city of Santa Fe would pay about $117 million, he said. The Taos settlement involves several small projects aimed at improving water quality, efficiency and management in the Taos Valley. The bill would authorize the federal government to pay about $134 million and the state about $14.5 million, Sanders said. Taos Pueblo officials said in a written statement that they are “elated” by the House passage of the bills, which they called a “major achievement” for the pueblo and Taos Valley. Taos Pueblo Gov. James Lujan Sr. and War Chief David G. Gomez said they hope the Taos settlement becomes law before the end of the year. The bills now go to the U.S. Senate. New Mexico’s senators have gained support for the bills from a key Senate panel and are working toward securing a vote in the Senate in coming months, Lujan said.

Caterpillar Delivers Keys to First D7E Track-Type Tractor
C
aterpillar presented the keys of the first innovative AC electric drive track-type tractor in the industry to longtime customer, TJ Lambrecht on Dec. 22. The electric drive system developed for track-type tractors gives the D7E an unmatched combination of power, sustainability, control and maneuverability, according to the manufacturer. “Our customers are being challenged to do their work more efficiently with less impact on the environment,” said Caterpillar Group President Doug Oberhelman. “The D7E demonstrates Caterpillar’s commitment to the industry with a machine that does more work and consumes less fuel and parts, providing customers with lower owning and operating costs.” Oberhelman was recently named Caterpillar vice chairman effective Jan. 1. TJ Lambrecht, headquartered in Joliet, Ill., is a heavy, civil, and earthmoving contractor with one of the largest and most current fleets of Caterpillar equipment. “Caterpillar has been a great partner over the years, and we have a solid relationship with our dealers,” said Dan Klingberg, president, TJ Lambrecht. “Case in point was the opportunity to demo the D7E at our O’Hare Modernization Project job site this past summer. We think it’s going to help us mitigate fluctuations in fuel prices, as well as address the growing scope of emissions regulations. Our whole organization is very excited about it.” The Cat C9.3 ACERT diesel engine, rated at 235 net horsepower (175 kW) in the D7E, drives a powerful electrical generator that produces AC (alternating current). Current flows through special armored cables and military-grade connectors to a solid-state inverter, then to the propulsion module. Within the propulsion module are two heavy-duty electric motors (using AC current) that drive through common gearing into the differential steering system. Power from the steering system is transferred via axles to mechanical, double-reduction final drives to provide smooth, infinitely variable driving force to the tracks. The engine in the D7E is entirely beltless, eliminating the need for belt maintenance and replacement. Headquartered in Elmhurst, Ill., Caterpillar dealer, Patten
Industries, was instrumental in the sale of the D7E. “This revolutionary design consumes fewer resources over its working life than any other track-type tractor in its class. All major components are engineered to be rebuilt or reused in the future,” said Patten Executive General
Manager Larry O’Neill. “Our customers are looking for these kinds of solutions, and we’re pleased to provide them with a competitive edge.” For more information on the Cat D7E with electric drive, visit www.cat.com/D7E.

Feds Recommend Approval of Two Rockies Gas Lines By Matthew Brown ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) Federal regulators are recommending approval of two natural gas pipelines that could sharply increase fuel shipments from the Rockies to population centers in the Midwest and on the West Coast. The Rockies hold an estimated 375 trillion cu. ft. of natural gas, or almost as much as the Gulf of Mexico. The fuel has been promoted as a less-polluting alternative to coal because it emits less greenhouse gas. Yet moves to crank open the spigot in the Rockies are getting pushback from environmentalists worried about the growing number of pipelines crisscrossing the West. Combined, the two latest proposals would move almost 2 billion cu. ft. of natural gas a day — enough to fuel about 9 million homes. That would amount to a roughly 25 percent increase over current gas exports from Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is expected to make final decisions on the Bison and Ruby pipelines in the next two to three months, said agency spokeswoman Tamara Young-Allen.
Construction could begin by spring. Building the pipelines — each hundreds of miles long — would entail crossing more than 1,200 streams and other bodies of water and disturbing thousands of acres of undeveloped land, according to recent environmental studies by the commission’s staff. TransCanada’s $610 million, 310-mi. Bison pipeline would run from Gillette, Wyo., through southeastern Montana to Morton County, N.D. From there, the line would feed into other pipelines serving the Midwest. El Paso Corp.’s $3 billion Ruby pipeline would run from Opal, Wyo., to Malin, Ore., passing through Utah and Nevada along a 675-mi. route. Environmentalists have singled out the Ruby pipeline as particularly damaging because of its route through the remote wilds of northern Nevada. Also, horse advocates claim the project is prompting the removal of wild mustang herds along the proposed route by the Bureau of Land Management. But commission staff concluded the environmental effects would be outweighed by the economic benefits of the pipelines, including roughly $30 million in annual property taxes. They also said the routes chosen minimized harm to the environment.
In Wyoming, where a history of limited pipeline capacity has dampened exploration and forced companies to sell fuel at a discount, officials have pushed hard for the projects. In December, they approved a state investment in Ruby of up to $300 million. New pipelines could break the cycle of gas production outpacing pipeline construction in the Rockies, said Brian Jeffries, of the Wyoming Pipeline Authority. A third major pipeline from the region, Rockies Express, became fully operational in November. “This time we might be out in front of it a little bit,” Jeffries said. The Ruby project is intended to fill a gas supply gap on the West Coast as imports from Canada taper off, while Bison would give energy producers in Wyoming’s remote Powder River Basin new access to markets, company officials said. That could give producers across the Rockies opportunities to get better prices for their fuel. “It will afford them a more or less straight shot to new markets in the West,” El Paso spokesman Richard Wheatley said of Ruby. Environmentalists still hope to block the El Paso proposal. More than 330 million gal. of groundwater from aquifers would be used during con-
struction of the pipeline. That’s an immense volume for an arid part of the West and almost five times the amount earlier detailed by El Paso. “How can they allow so great a miscalculation on something as crucial as water in Nevada, the driest state in the nation?” asked Katie Fite with the Western Watersheds Project, one of several groups lining up against the pipeline. Fite said the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission appeared to be “rubber stamping” the pipeline and she accused El Paso of misrepresenting the project. She said it would make more sense to build farther south, along Nevada’s Interstate 80 corridor. El Paso’s Wheatley said that entailed a costly 150-mi. detour and would disturb even more land. He added that the volumes of groundwater needed for the project had changed after El Paso dropped an earlier plan to use surface water supplies in streams and lakes. The company is now working with the states along the pipeline route to make sure groundwater supplies are adequate. “The water is available. We just have to go through the process of getting the appropriations,” Wheatley said.

Contractors Scramble to Save Crumbling Seaside Cliffs By Jason Dearen ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
PACIFICA, Calif. (AP) It wasn’t the thunderous sound of a massive chunk of ocean bluff plummeting to the beach that jarred Marva Seaton to life Jan. 21 at 5:30 a.m., but a rap at her door. For her own safety, she was ordered out of her apartment building, perched atop an eroding seaside cliff about 80 ft. above the sea just off scenic Highway 1 south of San Francisco. Still, like many of her neighbors who live in 18 units that have been evacuated over the past month, she planned to stay on the Pacific shoreline. “I just relocated down the street at the Land’s End,” Seaton said, referring to a condominium complex a half block away that also is threatened by a disappearing bluff. “It’s nice.” Last month, an apartment building here was completely evacuated, and on Jan. 21 residents of six units in Seaton’s building also had to leave their homes. With bluffs along the Northern California coast crumbling under pressure from massive waves and driving El Nino rains, one would think the allure of seaside living would fade. But for Seaton and other coastal denizens here — many of whom hang mirrors over their kitchen sinks so they can gaze at the silver sea while doing dishes — the idea of leaving is not on their minds. “None of us really worry about it so much,” said Sandra Smith, who lives in the building next to Seaton’s. “We just go with the flow. We were prepared mentally for this storm.” As rain fell Jan. 22 and a cold wind blew, neon-vested workers on the street in front of the buildings began preparing for work to reinforce the loose sandstone bluff, which had eroded to the edge of both buildings. Seaton’s evacua-
tion was caused by a 60-ft. length of bluff that broke off. Down the street in front of the Land’s End, half of what used to be a bluff-top park was gone. Broken walking paths led to perilous drop-offs to the rocks below. Pipes and sprinklers once covered by grass and ice plant dangled from the muddy cliffs. Bright orange plastic fencing and warning signs were strewn about. Amid the chaos of evacuations, a storm and work crews on Jan. 21, Smith and other residents of Esplanade Avenue pitched in to help the evacuees move their stuff. It was raining, cold and took all day. Luckily for some evacuees, four units in Smith’s buildings were vacant, so some evacuees were able to move next door. “People from every apartment building were helping. We worked from 6 a.m. to 4 or 5 p.m. in the rain,” she said, standing on her balcony over the same bluff, massive waves crashing behind her. “It’s a tight community.” Doug Rider, chief building inspector for Pacifica, said there were no plans to evacuate any more people on Jan. 22. “It’s a good day today. We’re leaving people in their homes,” he said. “But it’s a day-to-day thing.” Crews brought in a massive, 180-ft.-high crane to begin a project meant to shore up the cliffside and save the buildings. Over the next two months, workers will dangle in a basket from the crane, drilling holes 60-to-80 ft. into the loose sandstone cliffside. They will insert steel bars, one-and-ahalf-inches thick, into the holes, fill those with grout and spray concrete over that. Then, plates will be attached to the end of the steel bars, and everything will be tightened to create a massive sea wall that will allow the buildings to be reoccupied, said project foreman Scott Young of Engineered Soil Repairs, the firm handing the project. In addition, massive boulders have been brought in and dropped by crane onto the beach below, helping to shield the
rotting bluffs from the ocean’s wrath. Early estimates are that the whole ordeal will cost the buildings’ owner $1 million to $2 million. Owner Millard Tong said he did not want to comment for this article. This is not the first time storm-driven surf and heavy rain have taken a toll on this stretch of coastline that is home to Mavericks, one of the world’s most famous big wave spots. During El Nino storms in 1998, at least seven homes in Pacifica were destroyed after the bluffs they were built on crumbled to the beach below. Homeowners then watched as wrecking machines dismantled their seaside dream homes, sending them off the cliffside. A few miles south, at Devil’s Slide on Highway 1, the California Department of Transportation is overseeing the construction of two tunnels being built in an area where the roadway has faced frequent closures from rock slides and bluff erosion. Northward, on a stretch of the Great Highway in San Francisco, officials closed southbound lanes until the summer after most of the bluff near the roadway deteriorated during recent storm surf. While engineers working on the bluffs in Pacifica believe the project will save the endangered apartment buildings, building inspector Rider said he would wait and see what the crews drilling into the bluff find before speculating on when the buildings might again be habitable. From resident Robert DalPorto’s porch, located next to the building partially evacuated, the views of the sea were stunning. To the left, however, one can see the bluff had eroded right up to the evacuated buildings. Still, DalPorto had no plans to leave unless he is told to and hoped he could stay in his beloved rental. “I wouldn’t buy anything here” DalPorto said. “But renting, you can always leave if you have to.”
Former Dallas Cowboys Stadium’s Implosion Set for April Texas Stadium, the iconic facility that served as home of the Dallas Cowboys for 37 years, will be imploded at daybreak on April 11, 2010. Interest is building and outlets are being developed so the public can be involved in the demolition progression from start-to-finish. Six cameras have been installed to capture the process leading up to the historic event, as well as the implosion itself. Four cameras will be located outside the stadium and two cameras on the inside will go down with the stadium when it is imploded. Live Internet feeds are accessible throughout the demolition at www.cityofirving.org/texasstadium. “There is great interest among sports fans, tourists and residents to watch the implosion in person,” said Maura Gast, executive director, Irving Convention and Visitors Bureau. “City officials are currently determining logistics such as staging and viewing areas, parking, and how to manage traffic around the stadium.” Kraft Macaroni & Cheese announced its sponsorship of the stadium’s implosion with
a national contest to win the chance to detonate Texas Stadium. Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Cheddar Explosion is searching for one kid (age 9 to 12) to tell a story about a positive impact they have made to better their community by sending in a 300 words or less essay and a picture illustrating his or her story. The contest entry period is from Jan. 7, 2010, until Feb. 5, 2010, when all entries must be received. To enter, please visit: www.projectcheddarexplosion.com. Green Efforts Take Center Stage In March 2009, the Irving City Council hired Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. to determine the best way to bring down Texas Stadium. The council later awarded Weir Brothers a $5.8 million contract to carry out the implosion plan outlined by Jacobs Engineering. Through environmentally green efforts, the stadium currently is being readied for implosion. Reuse and recycling has been a major initiative in the dismantling of Texas Stadium. Currently, asbestos is being removed from the stadium per state and fed-
eral regulations, while explosives experts are making their final preparations. What remains now is steel and concrete, and a full 95 percent of these materials will be recycled. The steel will be sold as scrap metal. Trusses from the top of the stadium will be set aside to be incorporated in future pieces of public art. The stadium’s cement is being crushed on site, and used in the reconstruction of surrounding freeways. “There will be little specs of Texas Stadium all around here,” said Irving Mayor Herbert Gears. Current Site Use and Future Development The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) currently is leasing the stadium site from the city of Irving for 10 years at a price tag of $15.4 million. TxDOT is using the site as a staging area while it streamlines the four major roadways that encompass the stadium and preparations are made for the light rail system under construction that will include the site itself and other locations in Irving, and will connect Irving directly with
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Once the stadium is demolished, the 75plus acres will become an open canvas for development, along with an additional 300 plus acres surrounding the stadium site, referred to as “Crossroads DFW.” Situated at one of the most visible landmarks in Dallas/Fort Worth, the Crossroads DFW site will be available for development for many future uses — residential, mixed, office, transit-oriented, cultural — for generations of future users. A Look Back For decades, Texas Stadium was seen on Monday Night Football and flashed on television screens around the world during the opening credits of the famous TV series Dallas. It was the location of major motion pictures, iconic television commercials, concerts, special events and some of the greatest moments in sports history.

Kenworth of Renton Chosen for Energy Management Project
Kenworth Truck Company’s manufacturing facility in Renton, Wash., has been selected to participate in a co-sponsored U.S. Department of Energy and Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance project.
Kenworth Truck Company’s manufacturing facility in Renton, Wash., has been selected to participate in a co-sponsored U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) project to provide input toward development of an international energy management standard for manufacturing plants. “Kenworth is honored to be selected to participate in this prestigious Northwest Energy Management Demonstration Project co-sponsored by the DOE and NEAA,” said Marilyn Santangelo, Kenworth assistant general manager of operations. “Kenworth’s Renton plant is committed to protecting the environment and conserving natural resources through effective management of energy used to support the manufacturing process. “Our environmental efforts are of special importance and this project offers a significant avenue to contribute to the development of enhanced best practices in manufacturing energy efficiency,” added Reid Nabarrete, Kenworth-Renton plant manager. Kenworth is just one of five companies in the Pacific Northwest selected for the project. Kenworth’s selection was based on its environmental accomplishments, which include the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Air
Excellence award and 2009 Green Washington manufacturing award from Seattle Business magazine. Kenworth’s Renton plant holds the prestigious ISO 14001:2004 certification for effective environmental management systems established to help build Class 8 trucks in an environmentally sustainable manner. The plant also earned a 2009 Best Workplace for Recycling and Waste Reduction Award from King County’s Sold Waste Division and a King County Industrial Waste Program Commitmentto-Compliance Award for five consecutive years of outstanding compliance with the plant’s industrial wastewater discharge permit. Participating companies will be among the first in the United States that may become certified under the pending American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-accredited plant certification, which includes conforming to ANSI’s Management System for Energy standard. This standard will serve as U.S. input for an even more far-reaching international energy management standard known as ISO 50001, which is expected to be released by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 2011. Upon successful completion in 2011, project participants
will have embedded sustainable energy management strategies and systems that lead to continuous energy savings, reduced operational costs and significant reduction of carbon emissions. These results will showcase the tangible advantages of energy efficiency as a sustainable and profitable business model and bolster the competitiveness of participating companies within the global marketplace. More information about the project is available at www.NWEMDemo.org. About the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) is a private non-profit organization funded by Northwest utilities, the Energy Trust of Oregon and the Bonneville Power Administration. NEEA works in collaboration with its stakeholders and strategic market partners to accelerate the sustained market adoption of energy-efficient products, technologies and practices. NEEA’s market transformation efforts address energy efficiency in homes, businesses and industry. For more information, visit www.nwalliance.org.

Bri-Mar Offers Multi-Tasking Fold-Down Dump Trailers Bri-Mar’s DT610-DP and DT712-DP deckover dump trailers serve as versatile tools, allowing truck owners to have a portable carrying solution for both flatbed and dumping needs. Contractors and do-ityourselfers can transport mulch, lumber and pallets of paving stone, all with one piece of equipment. The 20-in. (51 cm) hinged, fold-down sides permit loading palletized material quickly and easily with the entire dump-totrailer transformation taking only 30 seconds. The weight of the load is supported by a 6-in. (15 cm) tubular mainframe, 3-in. (7.6 cm) channel cross-members and a 12-gauge steel bed. The DT610-DP with a 6- by 10-ft. (1.8 by 3 m) bed is available in either 7,000 or 10,000 GVWR. The DT712-DP with a 7- by 12-ft. (2 by 3.6 m) bed is available in either 10,000 or 12,000 GVWR. Positioning of the wheels underneath the deck on both models allows for greater maneuverability in confined areas. A 33-in. (84 cm) deck height enables dumped loads to clear the deck more effectively. Like other Bri-Mar products, the Deckover Dump Trailer utilizes a hydraulic system driven by a Monarch Power unit complete with a 20-ft. (6 m) corded remote control.
To stand independently, these dump trailers feature a BullDog 5k drop leg jack and adjustable coupler. A slipper spring suspension smoothes bumpy roads while the trailer rolls along on radial tires. Both models are equipped with Dexter EZ lube axles for long life and durability. Electric brakes on both axles are standard equipment. Standard features also include a fulllength tarp rail and a seven-way RV plug. Valspar powder coat finish is available in a choice of six colors: black, red, gray, yellow, green or blue. Removal of material is made possible by a one-piece tailgate with chains. As with other Bri-Mar products, the Dump Trailer comes standard with a twoyear warranty. Optional features include a spare tire and mount, tarp kit, onboard battery charger, wireless remote and a combination gate (dump under and split). For even more volume, owners may purchase 24-in. (61 cm) side and tailgate extensions and board gusset kits. For more information, call 717/263-6116 or visit www.bri-mar.com. Bri-Mar’s DT610-DP and DT712-DP deckover dump trailers allow truck owners to have a portable carrying solution for both flatbed and dumping needs.

Crews to Loosen Bottleneck Along Orange County’s SR 91 FREEWAY from page 1
By adding one general-purpose lane along 6 mi. of eastbound SR 91 — from State Route 241 to State Route 71 — and widening each eastbound lane to 12 ft. (3.7 m), the project will relieve congestion; increase freeway capacity; and eliminate a chronic traffic bottleneck. “We’re increasing capacity but also optimizing driving conditions,” Chavarria said. He added that improving mobility within the corridor improves air quality as well. The 6-mi. section of freeway where construction is occurring has an average daily traffic volume of 300,000, which is forecasted to increase to 425,000 by 2035. “Using federal stimulus dollars to fast track this project means creating jobs today and bringing relief to drivers for decades to come,” said Peter Buffa, chairman of the OCTA. SR 91 is considered a major transportation and goods movement corridor, as it’s the only freeway that connects Orange County to Riverside County. “Locally it’s [the project site] at a place where counties converge. Nationally it’s a corridor that is thought of as a trade corridor.” Chavarria said. Chavarria explained that goods and products that originate at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach make their way inland and eastward via SR 91. In addition to constructing a new eastbound lane and widening the existing eastbound lanes, Fontana, Calif.-based Brutoco Engineering and Construction — the project’s general contractor — also will widen freeway shoulders to 10 ft. (3 m), construct 12 retaining walls, and expand five bridges. According to OCTA, construction equipment utilized by Brutoco and its subcontractors during construction will include: backhoes, a pile driver, aerial lifts, excavators, water trucks, air compressors, utility trucks, street sweepers and generators. Because of the project’s accelerated timeline and the inability to shut down any traffic lanes between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Brutoco and its subs must conduct a significant amount of work during the evening, which represents one of the project’s main challenges. Other challenges include environmental considerations and working within constrained spaces. “[The contractors are] basically working between the shoulder and the foot of the hills,” Chavarria said. On the environmental side of things, the project site runs along and meets up with the Cleveland National Forest and Chino Hills State Park. As a result, the contractors, OCTA, and Caltrans district 12 have to constantly concern themselves with animal species and plant life protection. As of late January, 5,061 tons (4,591 t) of concrete had been poured onsite and 30,000 cu. yd. (22,937 cu m) of dirt had been moved. When the project reaches completion 500 tons (454 t) of K-rail will have been installed. During construction a minimal amount of fill will be imported to the project site, as earth moved onsite will be used elsewhere within the project’s limits. Aside from Recovery Act funding, the project received $5 million in additional state funding through the Riverside County Transportation Commission and $6.6 million in funding from SR 91 express lane tolls.

LaHood: Job Creation in the Thousands By Judith Kohler ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
DENVER (AP) Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Jan. 15 that the $32 billion in stimulus funds already spent by his agency has created thousands of jobs in Colorado and across the country, but more is needed with unemployment so high. LaHood said Congress needs to approve a $174 billion jobs bill passed by the House in December. “With unemployment at 10 percent and people still out of work, it’s very important,” LaHood said of the bill, which next goes to the Senate. At a jobs forum organized by Sen. Mike Bennet, D-Colo., the secretary defended the results of the $787 billion economic stimulus bill signed last February. U.S. Department of Transportation has spent $32 billion of its $48 billion
stimulus dollars on 11,000 projects rebuilding roads, bridges, tunnels airports and seaports, he said. He will announce $8 billion in grants for highspeed rail projects within the next 30 days, he added. “I’ve traveled to 31 states and 67 cities,” LaHood said. “When I go out on these projects where we put our stimulus dollars, I talk to real people who are in real jobs, making real money, who a year ago were on unemployment.” LaHood also said reports that road and bridge building financed by stimulus money hasn’t affected local unemployment rates were “baloney.” Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper said the stimulus program’s success shouldn’t be measured just in terms of current jobs. Investing in infrastructure will pay off later with more jobs and business growth, he said.
Bennet said after the forum that he wants to see the Senate version of the jobs bill before deciding whether to support it. He said he is concerned that small businesses still don’t have enough access to financing. Colorado’s other senator, Democrat Mark Udall, also expressed caution. “The key is to stimulate job creation in ways that do not make our longterm deficit worse,” he said. Republicans have railed against more stimulus spending, saying it will worsen the debt. LaHood, however, said politics must be put aside to pull the country out of the economic mire. About 200 business and political leaders from Colorado attended the forum. Bennet said he will review ideas and concerns voiced in the session and others he held over the past weeks.

Daedong Industrial Promotes C.G. Kim to Executive VP
Chang Gue (C.G.) Kim will be responsible for leading Daedong’s worldwide management teams in their core areas of systems integration, planning, product development, production, quality, sales, marketing and service and parts.
KIOTI Tractor Division announced the promotion of Chang Gue (C.G.) Kim to executive vice president of Daedong Industrial Company Ltd., the parent company of KIOTI Tractor. Kim will remain president of Daedong-USA Incorporated and KIOTI Tractor, headquartered in Wendell, N.C. In his new position, Kim will be responsible for leading Daedong’s worldwide management teams in their core areas of systems integration, planning, product development, production, quality, sales, marketing and service and parts. Building on his success in growing the KIOTI brand in North America, Kim has a global value-chain perspective and will strengthen Daedong Industrial’s position as a global leader in the manufacture and distribution of compact tractors and engines, according to the company. Kim has been president of Daedong-USA and KIOTI Tractor since 1997. His initial goal was to introduce South Korea’s premier agricultural machinery manufacturer to the North American farm, hobby farm, landscaping and related markets. Under Kim’s leadership, KIOTI has established a solid
dealer network and has grown its product line to include 30 new tractor and utility vehicle models, helping the company realize very rapid and steady year-to-year growth. Two highly successful and popular programs initiated in North America by Kim are KIOTI’s 4-Year Full Fleet Warranty and Five Paw Dealer Excellence Program. Both of these programs were designed to help dealers sell tractors by providing them with tools to promote both the product and their dealership. Daedong was formed in 1947, just after World War II ended and before the Korean War officially began. In 1949, it designed and built its first diesel engine, the main component in all of its tractors and utility vehicles and one of the main reasons for the long-term success of the company. Under ISO9001, ISO14000 and EPA certifications, the company builds thousands of diesel engines and tractors and utility vehicles annually with hundreds of thousands of products in the field that are supported successfully every day of the year.

Economists Debate Federal Incentives for Homebuyers HOUSING from page 1
record 16 percent — from October, though pending sales are up substantially from a year ago. That is to say, compared to an admittedly dismal sales period in 2008, pending home sales in November were relatively brisk. Meanwhile, actual new home sales in November unexpectedly fell 11 percent from October, ending 9 percent below November 2008, the U.S. Commerce Department reported. Ironically, the November sales plunge was attributed in part to government assistance. When Congress extended the tax credit for new homebuyers and expanded it to include relocating homebuyers, a good many people shopping for a house decided to wait before signing any mortgage papers. Consequently, sales were lower for the period than they might have been had the credit not been extended. Timing is everything in a volatile market. Government’s Role in a Rebound Some of the current debate on sparking a housing turnaround is about the positive and adverse effects of federal intervention in the market. For obvious reasons, realtors and homebuilders associations supported extension of the tax credit incentive. The economist Crowe called the credit “an important ingredient” in any recovery recipe. Switching metaphors, he added that it is not “a silver bullet. We are so far down we need lots of bullets.” Cameron Findlay, chief economist of Lending Tree LLC, is another advocate of the tax credit. Findlay believes the credit generally has been a plus. “The tax credit did help stabilize things for those that are entering the market. The extension actually is being very helpful,” Findlay said, ”but there is a limit to how much it can help.” He noted that if someone is buying a house in a state where home prices are relatively low, $8,000 is a significant factor in the decision to buy. “But where prices are much higher, $8,000 is not a big deal. It is not a big deal in California.” On the other hand, Dr. Ronald D. Utt, an economics research fellow of The Heritage Foundation, is not especially enamored of the tax credit. Utt believes it to be an artificial stimulant of little long-term value and debatable short-term impact. “The credit was an awfully expensive way to get a little bit of improvement on a month-by-month basis,” he said. “It didn’t really get anything started. For the most part, the tax credit was a tremendous waste of
money.” The original and extended credits are expected to cost some $19 billion in tax revenue by the time the second one expires in April. The effectiveness of federal cash infusions is disputed. The money has not produced anything resembling a turnaround in homebuilding, and deficits spawned by the tax credit and other interventions are mounting. There’s no doubt the recession — and the homebuilding collapse that helped trigger it — are of historical proportions. Yet interventionist policies of the White House and Congress have been extraordinary as well. Payback from the programs has not met stated expectations. The highest profile tool pushed by Washington last year was the $787 billion stimulus bill passed with the intent of spurring recovery quickly by pouring money into “shovel-ready” projects and stabilizing state and local governments that otherwise might have laid off teachers and other public employees. Yet in November, overall joblessness was at 10 percent and most of the stimulus money passed in great urgency hadn’t been spent. While November’s residential construction loss of 3,200 jobs was the smallest monthly decline in some time, construction unemployment overall rose to 19.4 percent in November from October’s 18.7 percent. Unfazed, Congress is expected this month to enact a second, if smaller, stimulus package. Not everyone thinks that’s a good idea. “The biggest thing confronting the economy right now and challenging the turnaround in housing is a lengthy process of deleveraging,” Utt said. “Two years ago, homes became almost unaffordable for the average American. So people went to exotic financing and too much leveraging of resources just to become a homeowner. People simply took on too much debt and now are trying to pay down the debt, or are defaulting, to get their level of debt back to more or less affordable levels. “Instead of a stimulus package that threw money around here and there and propped up this and that, if you had done an acrossthe-board tax cut last February much of the money saved would have been used to pay down debt,” the Heritage Foundation researcher said. “De-leveraging would have happened much quicker. Consumer debt has fallen some from its peak, but the ratio of debt to income still is very high.” Utt believes a tax cut to induce further debt reduction remains a good idea. “It’s not too late, but Congress and the president instead are calling for a second stimulus. They are repeating the mistakes of last
February.”
the way,” Findlay conceded.
The Case for Intervention Duane Musser has a different view of stimulus efforts. Musser is vice president of government relations of the National Roofing Contractors Association. He is lobbying to include two tax rebate programs in the latest congressional jobs bill. Colloquially termed “cash for caulkers,” the Home Star and Building Star programs will reward homeowners and commercial property owners that retrofit buildings with energy efficient materials. Musser said Building Star — for commercial, institutional and multi-family buildings — would put 300,000 people to work on roofs. The cost? About $8 billion. The home retrofit rebate program would cost another $23 billion. “Congress obviously is going to be restrained by deficits,” Musser acknowledges, but his association members urgently need to find work and he believes the roofing updates are an effective way to do so. “Our members in residential repair haven’t been hit as hard as those in new residential construction. On the commercial side, new construction in most areas has come almost to a standstill and retrofit work is also being hurt substantially. I don’t know if I would go so far as to say our members are despairing, but most are pretty close to despair.” The various federal interventions initiated by the Federal Reserve, the White House, the Treasury Department and various congressional leaders have, by design, disrupted the housing market. Had the market been left entirely alone, corrections in housing supply and demand obviously would have come about more quickly — and painfully. Undercapitalized or overextended companies, homeowners and lending institutions simply would have been allowed to fail while hardier survivors moved ahead. However, social and political sensibilities in this country aren’t prepared to have government sit idly by in the face of such a collapse. Furthermore, LendingTree’s Findlay pointed out, as a practical matter such unregulated correction would devastate the general economy. “It would destroy the tax base and add to unemployment,” he said. In his opinion, Washington is properly trying to find a balance that will restore market stability. The difficulty comes in having to constantly stay “in front of the curve” and correctly anticipate the impact of decisions. It hasn’t always worked out. “There have been a few missteps along
Still Fumbling for Answers Crowe, the Home Builders chief economist, cited one misstep: foreclosure policy. “The thing the government is trying to do and not having very much success at is to forestall foreclosures,” he noted. “I am not real optimistic that they have figured out what they should do. If we could stop those homes from flooding the market, the underlying pent-up demands for housing would lead us out of this.” A $75 billion foreclosure program created by the Obama administration subsidizes qualified homeowners so they can modify their mortgage payments to a payable level. Some 4 million distressed homeowners were expected to benefit from the program over the next three years. However, far fewer homeowners have qualified than were expected to qualify. Foreclosure numbers indeed are discouraging. Some 2 million homes are targeted for foreclosure this year and another 600,000 homeowners are 90 days or more late in their payments, or are delinquent, and also are expected to face foreclosure, according to Findlay. If the 2.6 million homes “flood” the market, it will forestall new home construction. Yet Findlay sees a silver lining in the foreclosure statistics. He noted that the ratio of delinquencies and foreclosures, a leading indicator, is looking more favorable. “Delinquencies are continuing to rise but foreclosures are not rising. That means banks are not able to foreclose fast enough or are choosing not to foreclose, letting the consumer stay longer in the house.” Such forbearance by banks, for whatever reason, could mean fewer foreclosures than expected. Unfettered supply and demand forces generally characterize an organic marketplace. In good years and bad, inorganic mechanisms, such as interest rate-setting, influence housing market decisions but only in a general way. In the current market, the intervening mechanisms are more focused and manipulative, such as the recurring tax credits and mortgage subsidies to prevent foreclosures. The direct intervention is not unprecedented but the scope of it seems to be. In some cases, the mechanisms are artificially skewing outcomes. “I don’t think we are at the point anyone can say confidently what’s going on,” observed Utt. “A lot of people are cherrypicking good deals out of foreclosures so a see HOUSING page 37

Crushing, Screening & Recycling Section How to Determine the Best Breaker for the Project Contractors are typically interested in how hard a breaker hits — how much impact energy it can produce. Standard breaker spec sheets include impact rates, working tool diameter, operating specifications and a weight range of appropriate carriers. But things can get complicated with power output claims that are often based on estimates. In 1991, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) developed a testing system that provided an objective standard for comparing hydraulic breaker power output. Today, only a handful of companies publish those standardized impact energy ratings. This leaves buyers with power specs that appear to be based on the same measurement scale, but they really aren’t. The most reliable measurement is the AEM Impact Energy Rating in foot-pounds, which is calculated by measuring the energy created at the breaker’s working tool, to show the power the breaker makes available for actual breaking. The test itself must be certified by an independent AEM observer. Because some other current methods of reporting the hydraulic breaker impact energy can be unreliable, here are some practical tips for breaker comparison. • Match breaker to current carrier. If a contractor
already owns a carrier, that immediately narrows the field of suitable breakers. For some jobs a customer can use the smallest recommended breaker for his carrier. Other applications will demand the largest. • Tool diameter trick. Most breakers have a piston and working tool with the same diameter. Measure tool diameter to determine piston diameter. A halfinch difference may seem small, but does translate to a more massive piston. Generally a bigger piston delivers more impact energy. • Oil flow. “Hydraulic breaker” may suggest that hydraulic oil flow produces all the hitting power. Not always. Some breakers are 100-percent oil-fired, but others feature a nitrogen gas assist. Those 100-percent oil-fired breakers need more flow to function than gas assist breakers, and the carrier will have to burn more fuel to move the higher oil volume. • Right for the job. It’s more convenient to put a breaker on an existing carrier, but applications sometimes require more power. At a minimum the breaker must break through the material. Beyond that, a deadline or other circumstance may call for a given production rate. Make sure the breaker can meet the demands.

Sensor Adjusts Inclination Angle on Automated Log Washer The automated log washer from Columbus, Neb.-based GreyStone Inc. increases efficiency and lowers labor costs for aggregate producers, keeping the quality of aggregate consistent while saving operators time and money. GreyStone recognized the need for log washer operators to keep output quality consistent without having to make frequent manual adjustments to the angle of inclination. Working closely on the unit’s design with one of the company’s long-time customers, GreyStone manufactures an automated log washer with a hydraulic support system tied to a PLC sensor that detects the tonnage going through the unit. When the tonnage decreases, the system detects this and increases the angle of inclination — also increasing the material retention time in the unit — until the sensor detects the proper tonnage. If tonnage increases, the hydraulic system automatically decreases the angle of inclination, which decreases material retention, until the proper tonnage is detected. Upper and lower limit switches are employed to prevent excess inclination or damage to the unit. Log washers remove tough plastic clays from coarse aggregate by scrubbing the material with paddles, causing an abrading action. These units break down clay and liquefy it by causing rock to grind against rock. It is important to have

enough material in the log washer at any given time to create the desired rock-on-rock action. Log washers typically operate at inclinations between 5 and 10.5 degrees. As the angle of inclination increases, output capacity of the unit decreases, with a corresponding increase in retention time. Decreasing the angle has the opposite effect: increased capacity and a decrease in retention time. This makes the angle of inclination vital. In most applications, the feed rate is set and the angle of inclination can only be adjusted through a costly trial-anderror method until the desired output (clean rock) is achieved. By automating the variable incline section of the log washer, GreyStone’s unit removes the need for human input beyond an initial calibration by the operator. The resulting increase in efficiency and elimination of unnecessary labor costs solve the problem of inconsistent feed rate and uneven product quality — which in the past typically forced many operators to split the difference between clean material and lowered tonnage output, according to the manufacturer.

Tramac’s V1800 Breaker Features One-Piece Bushing Tramac’s V1800 heavyrange hydraulic breaker is for carriers from 44,100 to 77,200 lbs. (20 to 35 t) and has an operating weight of 3,913 lbs. (1,775 kg). With an operating pressure of 2,394 psi (165 bar), the V1800 has a flow range of 37 to 58 gpm (140 to 220 Lpm). This hydraulic breaker is rated at an impact energy class of 6,000 ft.-lbs. and has an impact frequency range of 310 to 500 blows per minute. The tool diameter is 5.5 in. (14 cm). A one-piece bushing is one of the features incorporated into the V1800. The principal wear parts, including the bushing, are fieldreplaceable without dismounting the breaker from the carrier or removing any tie rods. Up to 2.5 gpm (9.5 Lpm) can be diverted through the integrated flow control to protect the breaker from carrier overflow. A high backpressure tolerance of 363 psi (25 bar) allows the V1800 to be installed on a wide range of carriers. As with all Tramac heavy-range breakers, the V1800 reduces the transfer of potentially damaging energy back to the carrier with variable-speed breaker technology. This technology senses changes in material hardness and automatically adjusts the breaker to the optimal combination of impact energy and striking rate. Additionally, an energy recovery system recycles recoil energy and adds it to the next blow. Maintenance for the Tramac heavy-range breaker line is minimal due to a blank fire protection feature that prevents metal-to-metal contact that can damage a
hammer. The heavy-duty, abrasion-resistant cradle also protects the hammer and its internal components
from damage and excessive wear. The cradle also is silenced to reduce noise on the job site.
Tramac’s V1800 is for carriers from 44,100 to 77,200 lbs. (20 to 35 t).

Goodfellow Surmounts Logistics, Solid Lava in Hawaii Palm trees blowing in the cooling trade winds, white sandy beaches, bright sunshine, and smiling faces. This must be heaven, right? Close. It’s Hawaii. It’s paradise if you’re visiting, but not if you’re a contractor. Ed Brown is the region manager for Goodfellow Brothers’ operations on the Big Island. When he talks about working in solid lava, the logistics of getting parts and equipment to the island, and working in a delicate ecosystem, one begins to understand that while Hawaii may be paradise to some, it’s not to those who move dirt. Dealer’s Role These conditions make a positive dealThis ZX450LC-3 excavator equipped with a hydraulic breaker chisels lava to make way for a building foundation. The spoil will be converted to aggregate.
er/contractor relationship a key to operating successfully in Hawaii. Brown includes his American Machinery dealer rep, Eric Fu, as a member of his management team. “I consider him one of our staff. We bounce ideas around. I trust him. Our relationship is a partnership in every sense of the word, and I give him credit for a large part of Goodfellow’s success on the Big Island.” Brown uses Fu’s knowledge of equipment and the Goodfellow operation to help select machines to fit an application and fit in their fleet efficiently once a job is finished. While price is important in Brown’s equipmentacquisition decision — “The cost of equipment affects what we can bid a project for, so the price has to be right for us to get the work we need” — there are other factors as well. He cited an instance where the company was looking at a 450-size excavator for a particular job. “That’s what we thought we needed, but then Eric told us about the 35-metric-ton machine. It gave us the price, power, and digging specs we needed, without the cumbersome size of the larger machine. It was a great fit. “I trust him to tell us what kinds of equipment will best fit our needs, and he hasn’t missed so far.”
Versatility When he looks for equipment Brown also looks for machines that can do a number of jobs. “We don’t have the luxury of having specialized equipment. We need to be able to swap around different pieces here on the island from one job to the other.” Brown said that barging equipment from one island to the next eats into margins, so he does all he can to eliminate this expense. Parts Backup Being 4,000 mi. from the mainland puts more pressure on the customer/dealer relationship. “We have really high expectations from the dealer’s customer-dealer relationship,” said Brown. “When we buy a machine we expect the dealer to have the parts we’ll need in stock.” He mentioned the dealer’s constant communication with his master mechanic regarding when machines will be running and when scheduled maintenance will require more rarely needed parts. “It’s rare when they don’t have a part here on the Big Island, but they will air-freight it in a bat of the eye if they don’t.”
thing else I’ve seen. We go through undercarriages and buckets fast.” He noted that a welder keeps busy hardfacing buckets and other ground-engaging tools. Logistics play the most important role in keeping Brown’s operation profitable. “We need the right equipment in the right place, and up and running,” said Brown. “That means giving high priority to getting us the parts we need where we need them. The only way to do it consistently is to have a relationship with your dealer built on mutual trust and respect.” Goodfellow Brothers is serviced by American Machinery, Hawaii.

Legislative Audit Faults Spending on Bridge-to-Nowhere Road JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) A legislative audit requested by a supporter of the belittled “Bridge to Nowhere” concluded the state Department of Transportation should not have begun construction of a new highway on Ketchikan’s Gravina Island until knowing for certain the span would be built. Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, sought the audit last year. He and Rep. Kyle Johansen, R-Ketchikan, criticized then-Gov. Sarah Palin for canceling the project after it had received federal and state appropriations. Despite the cancellation, the Transportation Department spent $26 million of the federal money to build a road to
where a bridge might go. The state Division of Legislative Audit decided the spending, though legal, wasn’t wise. “The decision to proceed with the highway construction in May 2007 was not in the public’s best interest given the lack of congressional financial support for the bridges and the significant increase in estimated cost,” stated the audit obtained by the Ketchikan Daily News and Juneau Empire. Improving access between Ketchikan and its airport on nearby Gravina Island has been an issue for decades, long before interest groups opposed to Congressional earmarks ridiculed the bridge project and provided the derisive nick-
name. Palin supported the nearly $400 million bridge when she campaigned for governor. But she axed the project and listed it among her fiscally conservative credentials while campaigning as John McCain’s running mate last year. Palin, in the Republican National Convention speech that made her a star, said she told Congress “thanks but no thanks” on the Bridge to Nowhere. The line continued to bring cheers on the campaign trail, but drew winces back home among those who knew Palin had supported the project and only turned against it after Washington backed off its financing.

FHA officials announced last fall that the agency’s reserves have fallen below legal limits because of bad loans, which could mean higher interest rates on FHA mortgages. Clearly, there is plenty of bad paper still clogging the system. Though supportive of the various “proac-
tive solutions put into place” by Washington leadership, LendingTree’s Findlay sees an unwanted dynamic in at least one artificial stimulant. “Underlying the entire problem is that the Fed [Federal Reserve] today is the only buyer of mortgage-backed securities,” he said. “The government is synthetically driving down the rates by purchasing those securities.” When Fed officials quit buying, “the spread on mortgage-backed securities will widen. Still, you want to get the government out of the business of buying those securities. Let investors buy them. Unfortunately, concerns about defaults won’t let investors risk it at this time.” Findlay noted the Federal Reserve also is using a monetary policy called quantitative easing in which, with interest rates already close to zero, the agency tries to increase money supply by artificially buying financial assets from banks. The hope is to spur lending. “Basically, the policy synthetically drives down rates,” he said. “All of these factors are synthetic, created by the Fed to drive down rates to a level where consumers will want to buy again. But you can’t do that forever.”
AGC Urges Calif’s Air Resources Board to Revisit Retrofit Rules PETITION from page 1
state’s emissions targets for the next two years, and possibly even longer,” said Mike Kennedy, the association’s general counsel. “Construction workers shouldn’t have to lose their jobs because state officials want more time to review their own data.” The association said the new petition was needed after board officials failed to reconsider their off-road diesel rules during their early December meeting. Noting that the current rules are scheduled to go into effect weeks before the board hopes to complete even its preliminary review of the latest data, association officials said they had no choice but to formally request an immediate emergency amendment. A new inventory of construction equipment conducted by state officials earlier this year, when run through the board’s own computer model, found the state’s off-road diesel equipment would emit far less particulate matter and nitrogen oxide than originally estimated. Because of the severe economic downturn and measures contractors
have taken to cut emissions, particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions will remain below target levels for years to come. Meanwhile, the state’s construction industry continues to suffer from severe market conditions. In early January federal officials reported that every one of the state’s metropolitan areas lost construction jobs between November 2008 and 2009, including El Centro, which suffered the nation’s largest percentage decline in its construction workforce. Since June 2006, a total of 328,000 construction workers have been laid off statewide as demand for housing, retail, commercial and manufacturing construction has plummeted. The association originally petitioned the board to amend the rule in December 2008. At the board’s request, the association voluntarily deferred action on that original petition pending further research board staff said it needed to conduct. Since that research will continue beyond the rule’s implementation date, the association decided to file the emergency petition for interim relief.
Findlay said that LendingTree and similar companies are keeping an eye on new housing starts, with the latest hard data expected Jan. 20. “All of those materials in a house have to be constructed, so housing starts have a large impact on GDP and local economies and create jobs. We are very closely monitoring that.” Utt believes the situation has about bottomed out. The Heritage Foundation researcher actually sees potential for a housing surge. “We still need housing prices to come down to an affordable level. More people will buy when prices bear a normal relationship to incomes,” he said. “But we’ve probably reached the bottom. We also probably will stay at the bottom for a while, till people are convinced the economy really is strengthened. “When confidence does turn around, I wouldn’t be surprised if you see a fairly significant surge in home purchases. There will be a once-in-a-lifetime price discount in housing. For $250,000, a consumer might be able to buy a house that sold for $450,000 two years ago. It will be a moment of affordable housing that might not last for long.” No one is willing to predict just when a
genuine rebound in housing fortunes will happen. Crowe said builders should be “cautious.” “I would just say that this will be a very slow recovery and builders need to be very cautious about getting too far ahead,” said the Home Builders association economist. “The ones who have survived this far are being very cautious and careful.” He said a lack of financial liquidity is worsening the situation. “Builders are sort of being restricted even more than they would do on their own because of the inaccessibility of funds for building, for production of materials. If we get a really large housing demand, some builders are going to find it difficult to respond.” Unfortunately, he doesn’t expect the bank loan situation to change any time soon. “I don’t see an immediate solution. That is another thing the government is trying to do and needs to do.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG
