Strategic Initiatives ICPI’s 2010 focus was developing and initiating a new three-year strategic plan. This new plan involved hard work from twenty ICPI members who served on the Strategic Planning Committee. I thank them for their insight and suggestions. Their hard work made the 2010-13 Strategic Plan a strategy focused on commercial markets. ICPI can use the direction to help the industry achieve its goal of moving from two to four square feet per capita sales in North America. ICPI will implement strategies impacting industrial, commercial, institutional and municipal (ICIM) marketplaces while members continue developing residential markets through their individual companies. This concentration of ICPI resources will help move the industry towards its goal of institutionalizing interlocking concrete pavement systems. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are in place to help measure
ICPI Chairman, Roberto Nicolia
ICPI’s success toward fulfilling its vision and strategies. Our industry’s share of commercial and municipal markets has not varied much since 2004. The industry must refocus on the municipal and commercial markets in order to gain wider acceptance of interlocking concrete pavements among cities, counties, states and provinces and consultants who service these entities. A key transformation needed within the industry is training more sales people who understand how design professionals and specifiers work, as well as the commercial construction process. To increase our industry’s share from 21% to 50% in this market over the next eight years can only be done with knowledgeable sales people using a consistent industry message supported by ICPI. Interlocking and permeable interlocking concrete pavement systems are the best pavement solution because they offer the unique combination of versatility, sustainability and environmental management. They perform exceptionally for a range of pavement needs under adverse conditions. They have a positive impact on the three core tenants of sustainability—people, planet and profit. They help people positively connect with their environment. No other pavement system available today can offer all this making concrete pavers the pavement of choice for all but highway applications. Work continues on influencing governments at all levels to incorporate permeable interlocking concrete pavements in municipal ordinances and design guides. ICPI is developing tools for members to use to better address this market where storm water runoff has been legislated into existence. Development of permeable and interlocking concrete pavement specifications in provincial, state and municipal design guidelines is a huge, long-term task and a key strategic initiative. It will be our industry’s strategic initiatives and our ability to increase awareness and acceptance of segmental pavement systems by design professionals, specifiers and all levels of government that will allow us to reach our goals. Thank you for your commitment to the industry and to ICPI. Sincerely,
Roberto Nicolia ICPI Chairman of the Board President, Nicolock Paving Stones, Inc.

ICPI Annual Report 2010
Sustainability Concrete Pavers Earn LEED® Points Within the North American design and construction community, a means for addressing sustainability or ‘green building’ is through Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED®. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) in 1998, LEED® provides voluntary guidelines for reducing energy and wasted resources from building and site design. LEED® has experienced wide acceptance by the design professions and by city, state and federal governments in evaluating sustainable design in building projects. LEED® version 3 includes the genesis for life cycle analysis or LCA as a basis for earning credits. LCA identifies the environmental impacts and pollutants including greenhouse gases from “cradle to grave,” i.e., from manufacture, use and disposal/recycling of a particular product or system. LCA will see increasing use by design professionals as an influence in site and building system decisions. The paving systems represented by ICPI are uniquely positioned to yield lower environmental impacts and more favorable LCAs than conventional pavements. Studies here and overseas completed in 2010 provide the rationale for earning LEED® credits with segmental concrete pavements. Moving forward, ICPI will be incorporating
these studies into Tech Specs and continuing education programs for members and design professionals.
Permeable Pavements Reduce Stormwater Runoff Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements (PICPs) continue to expand at a 20% annual growth rate thanks to national, state and local stormwater runoff regulations. ICPI continues to influence state and local ordinances that encourage and in some cases require permeable pavements. The Government Relations Committee developed a model PICP ordinance for members to use to press PICP forward among local governments. An increasing number of states and regional stormwater agencies are updating design guidelines for permeable pavements. ICPI and its members have been participating in many states and provinces by commenting on these design guidelines. In addition, ICPI has contributed to the ASCE permeable pavements technical committee. This group is developing an ASCE document on permeable pavements that will guide civil engineers. Due in 2011, the ASCE report will receive wide distribution among ASCE members and have a significant influence on design decisions for sustainable paving.
Concrete Joint Sustainability Initiative ICPI continued working with the Concrete Joint Sustainability Initiative (CJSI). The Joint Sustainability Initiative is a cooperative effort among nearly all the major concrete industry organizations to advance a collective vision for a sustainable future with concrete structures. ICPI provides advocacy, technical and educational resources as appropriate to enhance the use and convey the benefits of concrete structures to others. We will leverage the strengths and resources of all industry organizations to advance the initiative. This approach will ultimately result in improved industry image. Resulting from this joint initiative was the inclusion of interlocking concrete pavement (ICP) and permeable interlocking concrete pavement in two publications. First was the Sustainable Concrete Guide Strategies and Examples followed by the Sustainable Concrete Guide— Applications.

Setting the Standard ICPI is developing and setting standards and guidelines for the interlocking concrete pavement industry. Standards—ASTM & CSA
ICPI continues to develop existing ASTM and CSA standard on concrete pavers and test methods. In 2010, a change to the ASTM C140 method on compressive strength testing was proposed in ASTM that eliminates correction factors for pavers over 60 mm thick. The test method requires cutting a consistently shaped coupon for compression testing. In addition, the committee is investigating tensile splitting as another means to evaluate paver strength. Advantages of split tensile testing are reduced costs and increased speed of testing. These factors can be important in manufacturing and in larger paver projects that require continuous testing. If introduced to ASTM C936, tensile splitting would be an option. In 2010, ICPI initiated the review of CSA A231.1, Precast Concrete Paving Slabs and A231.2 Precast Concrete Pavers. Now approaching the five year mark for review and renewal, the CSA standards committee will convene in 2011 to update and refine these standards to help ensure durable and long lasting concrete paving units.

ASCE Standard In 2010, ICPI announced the publication of a North American standard for the structural design of interlocking concrete pavement for municipal streets and roadways from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The standard was developed by a consensus standards development process accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The ASCE standard allows designers to develop a cross section structure for their pavement based on three site specific conditions: estimated equivalent single axle loads (ESALs), subgrade strength and subgrade drainage. The standard provides design guidance for unbound aggregate, asphalt-treated, cement-treated or asphalt concrete. The standard establishes guidelines for developing appropriate pavement structures for various traffic and subgrade conditions. This standard will assist the industry and municipalities by establishing a consistent structural design method for interlocking concrete pavements. Moving forward, ICPI will develop a training program and structural design software on the ASCE standard for member and design professional use.
ICPI Annual Report 2010
Tech Specs and E-Tech ICPI Tech Specs give design professionals and contractors guidance on most aspects of design, construction and maintenance of interlocking concrete pavements. ICPI publishes new bulletins annually, and updates existing ones with the latest developments. There are currently 17 Tech Specs in use across the industry. During 2010, updates and major changes were made to four Tech Specs. All revised and new Tech Specs are released with the new ICPI graphics. These documents continue to be available online through ICPI’s e-tech program where members subscribe as part of the online Tech Spec retrieval process.
Installer Certification Through the ICPI Concrete Paver Installer Certification Program, individuals currently employed in the concrete paver installer industry have the opportunity to pursue education, certification and industry recognition. With support from members, ICPI produced 72 Concrete Paver Installer courses in 27 states and four provinces in 2010. This dedication to training the industry has lead to the certification of more than 18,000 concrete paver installers since 1995. ICPI paver manufacturing members typically sponsor these two-day courses throughout the
ICPI Annual Report 2010
country. During 2010, ICPI renamed the Level I Concrete Paver Installer Certification program as the Concrete Paver Installer Course and implemented certification requirements of field experience. In addition, ICPI implemented two new courses: the Commercial Paver Technician Course and the PICP Specialist Course. These courses are designed to help the industry in competing in the industrial, commercial, institutional and municipal markets.
Product Certification The ICPI Product Certification Program promotes compliance with ASTM and CSA standards for concrete pavers, grid pavements, permeable pavers and paving slabs. The program provides credentials for promotion by the individual paver manufacturer and benefits design professionals, contractors and the general public by creating and contributing to a perception of value and quality in the industry. Eighteen ICPI producer members participated in the program in 2010 and these are listed on icpi.org. In addition, improvements were made to the product certification application to help ensure consistent reporting of independent laboratory test results.

Government Affairs/Relations Representing more than 1,000 members as the concrete paver industry’s trade association, ICPI has implemented political persuasion that previously did not exist. Through the Government Relations Committee and Government Relations counsel, ICPI identifies opportunities to educate policy makers about the concrete paver industry’s commitment to improving the environment and supporting the economy. A 2010 highlight was Congressman David Wu’s visit to a paver plant to learn paver technology first hand. ICPI worked with ICPI member Mutual Materials to host Congressman Wu at their plant in Gresham, Oregon, on April 9, 2010. During his plant visit, Congressman Wu received a detailed briefU.S. Congressman David Wu visits concrete paver plant.
ing on the key technical aspects of PICP relating to federal infrastructure and environmental policy; took
a full guided tour of the production facility; participated in a live demonstration of the stormwater capabilities of PICP; and addressed a sizable gathering of employees and customers. Essential industry/product messages were conveyed to Congressman Wu including PICP is distinct from other types of permeable pavement. The Congressman witnessed first-hand how PICP has tremendous capacity to reduce stormwater runoff which is a national priority. In 2010, ICPI supported HR2569 the Green Transportation Infrastructure Research and Technology Transfer Act and HR4202, the Green Infrastructure for Clean Water Act of 2009. HR2569 supports “green” initiatives which continue to grow in priority, acceptance and funding in Congress and among federal agencies. Congressman Wu is the sponsor of the legislation. ICPI is branding paver technology as “green” to policy-makers on Capitol Hill, the Environmental Protection Agency and federal agencies that purchase pavements. Most federal agencies implement preferences for environmentally friendly

construction based on LEED® credits. In addition, there continues to be expanded efforts to fund sustainable construction technologies and practices, as well as projects that mitigate stormwater runoff and pollution. ICPI made sure certain language favorable to the industry was included in the bill including a key term—permeable pavement technology.
PaverPAC The ICPI PaverPAC provides the opportunity for members to support worthy Senate and Congressional representatives who believe and have demonstrated industry principles. PaverPAC solicits and accepts voluntary personal contributions for expenditures that influence the selection, nomination, or election of such representatives. Contributions generated at a PaverPAC reception at ICPI’s 2010 annual meeting in San Antonio were put to good use during 2010. PaverPAC contributed to five leading members of Congress Congressman David Wu (D-OR), Congressman Jason Altmire (D-PA), Congressman Peter Defazio (D-OR), Congressman Gene Taylor (D-MS) and Congresswoman Nydia Valazquez (D-NY). They were supported based upon their leadership positions, probusiness voting records, success on committees whose jurisdiction includes issues affecting the industry, and attention to legislation important to ICPI members.

Building Broader Awareness cont’d Education During 2010, ICPI conducted two webinars for design professionals, two for contractors and four for industry salespeople. Topics included Procedures and Use of Fed Biz Ops to Generate Opportunities for Interlocking Concrete Pavement System, How to Use the Re-designed ICPI Website as a Sales Tool, Geosynthetics in Hardscape Construction and Guide Specifications for Interlocking Concrete Pavement. ICPI staff made PICP presentations for member companies across North America. In addition, ICPI presented at the NRMCA Sustainable Concrete Conference in Phoenix, the ASCE International Conference on Low Impact Development, San Francisco, the International Conference on Sustainable Concrete Pavements, Sacramento, CA, the first ASCE Green Streets & Highways Conference, Denver, CO, the Horteast conference and trade show, Halifax, NS and Concrete Canada in Toronto, ON. In May 2010, ICPI conducted a Federal Officials seminar Leading by Example—Meeting Federal Sustainability Goals with Segmental Concrete Pavements. The seminar benefited program/project managers, engineers, landscape architects, architects, specifiers, facility managers, conservationists, researchers and others associated with government building and transportation projects. Attendees learned how to include the range of sustainable and beautiful segmental concrete pavements in federal projects and included leading project examples. ICPI is the leading resource for education and training of segmental concrete pavement contractors. During 2010, ICPI implemented the new PICP Specialist Course and the new Commercial Paver Technician Course. These
8
programs were developed to increase the number of knowledgeable installers who can help expand the municipal and commercial marketplace. In addition to implementing two new courses in 2010, ICPI changed requirements to become an ICPI Certified Installer. To raise the bar, the certification program requires more from those seeking certification. To earn an ICPI Concrete Paver Installer certification, one will need to earn a passing score on the exam which results in receiving a Record of Completion. In addition, they must meet the minimum installation experience requirements of at least five projects totaling 10,000 sf. Upon approval, a certification will be valid for two years. During the two-year term certified installers must complete 15 continuing education credits in order to renew certification. The ICPI Construction Committee took these actions in response to contractors requests to increase the quality and competency of paver installer contractors.
