ANNUAL REPORT
Marshall Brown, PhD ICPI Chair
hardscaping professionals around the world. In addition, we continued expanding efforts to reach a wider audience through virtual instructional media while improving the installer certification program. Moreover, ICPI completed a detailed job task analysis that set the stage for national recognition as a trades apprenticeship program. In this report, you will find details on Virtual HNA, certification, and other offerings. 3. Workforce Development: THE GOAL: Empower the industry to attract, train and retain a highly qualified workforce to meet market demand.
ICPI’s top priority of providing valuable resources that support more industry sales continues. The multiplier from this is increased member confidence and user satisfaction. ICPI delivers value for members even as market conditions frequently and unpredictably change. I’m pleased to report ICPI’s culture of innovation and quick adaptation to market and member needs transcended many challenges during this past fiscal year. This heightened level of energy and commitment helped fulfill our 2019-2022 Strategic Plan goals noted below. 1. Industry Growth: THE GOAL: Increase understanding, awareness, and adoption of segmental concrete pavement systems. Pavement material and construction specifications issued by state and provincial transportation departments are often adopted by municipalities. They rely on the greater resources and technical review from these departments. Significant inroads are being made by ICPI into transportation departments offering a resilient technology, permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP), to help address flooding, especially in coastal areas. ICPI embarked on increasing transportation department awareness and understanding by proposing review and adoption of PICP with positive responses as a result. This top-down approach is typically fundamental to municipal acceptance. 2. Industry Expertise: THE GOAL: Deliver education and industry best practices as the recognized authority on segmental concrete pavement systems. ICPI quickly moved past the frustration of canceling a live Hardscape North America (HNA) in 2020. In response, ICPI led the industry by creating a two-day virtual HNA education event available to
With workforce development as one of ICPI’s highest priorities, we’ve placed the installer certification program in at least 20 Canadian and U.S. trade schools and colleges. Partnering with NCMA to expand our financial resources, our workforce development social media campaigns reach large audiences that include young career-seekers and parents. Be sure to follow the @hardscapingis campaign on Facebook and Instagram and visit the workforce development website at hardscapingis.com for great resources to use in your local community. 4. ICPI Strength: THE GOAL: Grow ICPI membership through increased awareness of benefits, participation in programs and perceived membership value. ICPI membership retention in 2020 reached a 15-year high with 87% of our members renewing. Members continue enthusiastic participation in past virtual and now live committee meetings with the latter delivering networking opportunities only trade associations can provide. In addition, we continue receiving invaluable and much appreciated advice on programs that increase membership value from our committees and the ICPI Board of Directors. The ICPI Board and staff continue to drive ICPI’s forward-thinking, innovative programs and resources for members to grow their businesses. As you read through this Annual Report, please take a few moments to explore all the resources ICPI has to offer. Sincerely,
Marshall Brown, PhD ICPI Chair February 2022

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FY21 Workforce Development Marketing Efforts Strategic partnerships continue to be a cost-effective way for ICPI to promote careers in the hardscape industry.
ICPI’s partnership with Cue Career continues to flourish. Page views for ICPI’s microsite increased from 56,003 in FY20 to 71,896 in FY21, and unique visitors to the site are up from 49,777 in FY20 to 70,458 in FY21. A new interview video featured Miranda Ebelar, a sales representative with Mutual Materials, whose interview had 26,334 views in FY21. An ongoing alliance continues with the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) for promotion of careers in the hardscaping industry and promotion of a joint job board with hardscape industry job openings. These gave ICPI members a unique opportunities to expand the hardscaping workforce. NCMA has maintained its support of promotion of hardscaping careers with a contribution of $25,000 to the workforce development effort. This helped with the @Hardscapingis campaign, supported an increase in @HardscapingIs social media ad buys, and supported the development of additional programs and promotional ideas including a student video contest to launch in FY22. ICPI was named the Association of the Year by Cue Career and the Patty Alpert Family Foundation for its work on the @HardscapingIs campaign. ICPI was awarded $1,000! In its press release about the award, Cue Career said, “With many industries facing a shortage of workers and a skills gap, associations can play a critical role in addressing workforce development. The Association of the Year award was for the association making workforce development a priority. ICPI had a multifaceted approach teaching 17–20-year-olds and their parents about their industry.”
FY21 Social Media Campaign Results In FY21, the @HardscapingIs campaign on Facebook and Instagram reached 1.8 million people, up from 1.13 in FY20. Efforts generated approximately an additional 625 followers on Facebook for a total of 1,125 followers on that platform and an additional 6,500 followers on Instagram for a total of 9,500 followers on that platform.

1. It meets certification industry best practices and moves toward ISO compliance certification standard. 2. There will be less confusion about whether an individual is certified when the certification exam and review course are two independent products. 3. The Concrete Paver Installer course will be more affordable, so contractors will be able to send crews to the review course. 4. The student manual will be sold separately to those who want it. This will reduce printing costs for the association and expenses of offering the review courses. 5. The separation of the exam from the courses significantly reduces staff time for grading exams and sharing results with course participants. With funding from the ICPI Foundation, ICPI completed a new job task analysis (JTA) and developed a new exam to match the JTA for the Concrete Paver Installer course in FY21. Pilot testing and validation of the revised exam was conducted in April through June 2021 and a minimum passing score was set for the exam. The completion of the JTA and new exam sets the stage for an overhaul of the Concrete Paver Installer course which is planned for launch in July 2023. The Education Committee approved a new business model for certification to bring the program in compliance with the ISO certification standard, under which the student manuals, review courses, and exam are completely separated. A Certification Committee will be formed in the new unified association. Its role will be developing new policies and procedures for the certification program based on certification industry best practices and writing a Code of Ethics for concrete paver installers.

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS HIGHLIGHTS Significant accomplishments in FY21 include:
Much of the Technical Committee’s work focused on influencing existing national standards and developing information for the American Society for Testing and Materials International (ASTM), the Committee initiated:
Completion of a life-cycle cost study to present to the Toronto City Commissioners demonstrating that interlocking concrete pavement maintenance is less than conventional pavements. The report was prepared to confront the “Paver Tax” by the City on developers to cover supposed additional maintenance costs. The Committee affirmed a task group’s recommendation to focus on PICP promotion to state departments of transportation (DOT) in North and South Carolina, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, and Washington. A consultant, Peter Loughlin, was brought on board to assist with contacting and establishing staff presentations to these agencies. The emerging Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (aka “the infrastructure bill”) included ICPI text on permeable pavements and flood control offered by ICPI lobbyist Randy Pence to legislators. This bill was signed into law on November 15, 2021. The text follows. The Secretary is the Secretary of Transportation.
> Clarification on defining the length of width of paving slabs in ASTM C140. > Clarification of the span length between rollers under paving slabs when testing for flexural strength (modulus of rupture) in C140. > Slab test specimen conditioning for more uniform curing i.e., 14 days moist cure and 14 days air cure. The change to C140 harmonizes conditioning in ASTM C1782 with CSA A231.1 on paving slabs. > Revising ASTM C936 text formerly under the ‘Rejection’ heading to ‘Compliance’ with text that aligns with other ASTM manufactured concrete product standards. > Changing admixtures sections in C936 and C1782 to align with other ASTM manufactured concrete product standards. > Minor adjustments to moist curing and temperature requirements in C1645 to align with those in C140 and CSA A231.1.
SEC. 11518. PERMEABLE PAVEMENTS STUDY (a) In General.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall carry out a study-(1) to gather existing information on the effects of permeable pavements on flood control in different contexts, including in urban areas, and over the lifetime of the permeable pavement; (2)
to perform research to fill gaps in the existing information gathered under paragraph (1); and
(3) to develop-(A) models for the performance of permeable pavements in flood control; and (B) best practices for designing permeable pavement to meet flood control requirements. (b) Data Survey.--In carrying out the study under subsection (a), the Secretary shall develop-(1) a summary, based on available literature and models, of localized flood control capabilities of permeable pavement that considers long-term performance and cost information; and (2) best practices for the design of localized flood control using permeable pavement that considers long- term performance and cost information. (c) Publication.--The Secretary shall make a report describing the results of the study under subsection (a) publicly available.
Raising ICPI’s political action fund to
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE):
American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHTO):
Recomposing a committee to update ASCE 58-16 Structural Design of Interlocking Concrete Pavement for Municipal Streets and Roadways. While the design method uses that for flexible pavement, the committee is considering the addition of structural design using rigid concrete bases since concrete pavers are often installed on them.
Seventy (70) illustrated pages of text on interlocking concrete pavement and permeable interlocking concrete pavement materials, design, construction, and maintenance were submitted to the AASHTO Subcommittee on Pavement Design. This submission is a proposed addition to the 2015 AASHTO Pavement Handbook, a 1,000-page e-book on asphalt and concrete pavements. The submitted text must pass a Subcommittee and a Pavements Committee ballot in 2022 for publication approval.
A pre-standard committee was formed to start drafting a national ASCE design standard for segmental concrete paving slabs.

The US Geologic Survey analyzed seven years of permeable pavement temperature data and confirmed infiltration during winter rain and snow melting events, with subsurface temperatures remaining above freezing even when air temperatures were below freezing. PICP surpassed pervious concrete and porous asphalt with fewer days below freezing, higher temperatures on melt days, slower freeze and faster thaw times, and less penetration of freezing temperatures with depth. This means less deicer use. From modeling, laboratory and field tests, Oklahoma State University developed deflection testing protocols using lightweight deflectometers (LWD) for compacted, open-graded aggregate bases typically used for permeable pavements. This will result in an ASTM test method for use by agencies, designers, and contractors. Since 1995, over 32,000 people took the ICPI Concrete Paver Installer course. This curriculum passed through a professional job task analysis which details the knowledge and skills to install segmental concrete pavements. Moreover, this process enables the curriculum to move toward an apprenticeship trade. Next will be updating the ICPI course and exam, with passing the exam a part of certification of installation experience. Taking the updated course will then move to an option rather than a requirement for certification as previously noted. Ongoing studies include: > Developing a center-point load test method and acceptance criteria for pedestal-set slabs > Evaluating the performance of open-graded base under interlocking concrete pavement > Measuring and compare vehicle speeds on ICP and on adjacent pavements for traffic calming > Surveying municipalities with ICP to determine maintenance costs > A ‘Tools for Schools’ grant program supporting schools that instruct the ICPI installer course.
