forces through a dedicated volunteer network.

“The response to SnowCare for Troops from caring professionals and military families has been tremendous and we are challenging our supporters to double the participation for the 2011-12 snow season,” said Mark Klossner, marketing manager for THE BOSS Snowplow. “We want to thank everyone who gave countless hours in heavy snow, sleet and ice to back up our country’s selfless military families this past winter. As the brand that backs up snow removal professionals, we’re asking for their help to spread the word and expand participation this year. We know they’ll get back tenfold what they put into it.”

Snow removal professionals and other volunteers have many ways to support the SnowCare for Troops program, including: • Offering free snow removal services throughout the winter to one or two families in their service area; • Loaning snow removal equipment to volunteers or groups; • Donating money, transportation or gas cards to offset snow removal and maintenance costs; and • Referring friends and/or military families they may know to sign up for the program.

THE BOSS generously underwrites the SnowCare for Troops program.

It’s open to anyone with a plow or other snow removal equipment who wants to lend a hand.

Through its active backing and participation, BOSS provides funding support and helps build awareness for SnowCare for Troops to encourage grassroots involvement.

“SnowCare for Troops got off to a roaring start, and we want to thank BOSS Snowplow for backing up military families once again through its integral support,” said Project EverGreen executive director Cindy Code.

“When a loved one is serving overseas in the armed forces, having the

added burden of snow removal lifted from the shoulders of the one left behind is a priceless gift.”

Project EverGreen’s SnowCare for Troops and its sister program GreenCare for Troops are serving thousands of military families through a coast to coast network of lawn care, landscape and snow care professionals and volunteers dedicating thousands of service hours to military families.

Project EverGreen has 12,000 military families in its database, more than 3,500 green industry participants and nearly 1,000 snow care professionals and volunteers.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announces $16.2 million in grants for New York highway projects Funds will help create jobs by replacing bridges, maintaining the roadways and making crucial ferry improvements WASHINGTON — U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today announced more than $16.2 million in grants for New York to fund an array of highway related efforts ranging from upgrading the Staten Island Ferry to environmental improvements.

“Transportation investments like these will create jobs and improve the quality of life for New York residents as well as strengthen the state’s economy,” said Secretary LaHood. “The demand from the states for these funds shows just how critical the need is for infrastructure investment.”

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) invited states to apply in June for federal funding from 14 grant programs. Requests poured in from every state, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. — more than 1,800 applications, totaling nearly $13 billion, which is more than 30

times the funds available.

“At a time when states are facing serious budgetary constraints, these grants will help fill a critical need,” said Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez. “Investments like these are immediate and long lasting and will help create jobs.”

Congress created the discretionary grant programs to give FHWA the latitude to support projects that maintain the nation’s roads and bridges, improve roadway safety and make communities more livable. In previous years, Congress designated some of this grant money for specific projects and FHWA awarded the remainder through a competitive process. Because the FY11 budget passed by Congress last April directed that all such funds be discretionary, FHWA awarded these funds through a competitive process.

A complete state by state list of this year’s grant recipients is available online at www.fhwa.dot.gov/ pressroom/fhwa1137.

by John Allin Recently, while reading through some threads on the various discussion forums for snow contractors, I read about someone saying they were “outbid” on a snow project for last winter. As I read more and more of that particular discussion, I became agitated about the whining that was happening about being “outbid.” Unfortunately, in the snow industry (and in most service oriented industries) the “bid” mentality seems to come to the forefront much more than it should.

To me and many others — especially those on the “other side,” the word “bid” is property manager speak for “low price.” In my opinion “bid” has nothing to do with quality at a fair price. “Bid” is

all about “cheap.” Bad form from my point of view. “Cheap” means “low profit.” It also can mean “substandard service” in order to achieve a viable margin.

This does not benefit the customer or the contractor. This is true in the tree care industry, the landscape industry and the snow industry as well.

As snow and tree care professionals, we should be providing “proposals” or “quotations” for services rendered.

Rarely do we see some larger organization (except for a governmental entity) have a Request for Bid. On the other hand, Requests for Proposal (RFP) or Requests for Quotation (RFQ) happen all the time. If you figure out how to accomplish the project for much less cost

than the competition by utilizing advanced methodology or updated technology — OK, you might have the lowest end user cost if you are quoting “cost plus margin,” assuming your margins are viable and can sustain your overhead and necessary profit. But, to bid a project just to get work is a fast track to the poorhouse.

One organization holds classes on how to “build a bid.” Sounds like a class to learn how to “quote cheap.” Is that how you want to be known in your chosen profession — the “cheap guy?” Going to a class to learn how to bid a project (i.e. give out a low number) seems like a giant waste of money when few in attendance at such classes advertise “LOWEST PRICE CONTRACTOR IN THE MARKET.” I once ran into a “competitor” who advertised just that — and from experience, we figured out he actually showed up 70 percent of the time, too!

Great average in baseball — but for a snow contractor, not so much.

When prospective customers used to call me asking for a bid on a snow contract, my response was always, “Why did you call me?” After hearing how they knew of us by name and reputation, my next question was “why are you looking for pricing?” If they came back and said that the incumbent provided lousy service — I would respond with, “tell me what you were paying.” Often, the price

they were paying justified lousy service.

I would explain that we provide outstanding service and outstanding service does not come cheap. If they responded that they were instructed to “bid it out,” I would ask if they were happy with the guy from last year. If so, I would ask what price they were paying last year, and tell them I would quote higher so they could keep the incumbent. (Really — I did this a lot.) Lowering the price to take the business away from someone they were happy with seemed counter productive to me. What would make the customer think we could provide outstanding service at a cheaper price?

If the customer would respond to my original question about why they were soliciting proposals (notice I didn’t say “bid”) with “last years contractor went out of business” — I would ask what price they paid. Surely they didn’t think we would quote lower and stay in business, did they? Look what happened to the incumbent.

Also, bidding work for the sake of throwing a wide net to see what new business you can garner is dangerous.

Target marketing your services to a specific clientele will allow for a better overall customer base. Bidding work requires no sales effort — just a sharp pencil.

The contractor who said he was “out-

Alternative Case Resolution initiative training workshop protects your company, your employees and your assets from devastating fines and penalties ELKO, NV/DENVER, CO — Catamount Consulting, LLC and Patton Boggs, LLP have teamed up to provide Alterna-

tive Case Resolution Workshops this summer in both Elko, NV and Denver, CO. Mark Savit, partner at

Patton Boggs, LLP and an expert in mining litigation and health and safety law, says “MSHA has definitely ramped up the number and variety of citations it is issuing.

The only way a mining company can operate in this regulatory climate is to become as familiar as

it can be with the MSHA citation process. The risk of being unprepared can be devastating.

Key strategies can avoid costly citations and reduce your company’s legal and financial liability. “We have partnered with Catamount Consulting, LLC, a leader in

MSHA, OSHA and work zone safety training, to provide industry experts who will teach you how to deal with MSHA from the moment the field inspectors arrive at your site, through the course of their inspection and after any citations are issued,” said Mr. Savit.

The U.S. Dept. of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has enacted the second phase in major reforms to enforcement and increased inspections of coal, mineral and aggregate mining operations.

lowest price if it means the contractor only shows up “most of the time.”

Property managers lose their jobs hiring contractors like that. However, we need to convince the prospective customer that we are worth the additional expense they will pay by hiring us.

One way is the three option, two choice rule.

Every customer has three options in the process of hiring a snow contractor: Good, fast and cheap.

The customer can pick two. It makes a difference. They cannot have all three. It isn’t possible to achieve all three and keep a customer happy.

If you look long, hard

and honestly at your previous sales opportunities, you will see these insights are true of almost every proposal outcome, whether for or against you, whether in tree care or snow plowing.

True snow professionals should lose the word “bid” from their vocabulary. In fact, those snow contractor clients who hire me as a consultant know that I ban the use of the word in their organizations altogether.

There are ways around the dreaded “bid” scenario. And, at all costs — contractors should avoid “bidding” work. It is an unfair term that is

not indicative of snow professionals’ market position — unless, of course — you don’t care about your position in your marketplace.

Of course, if the customer wants you to do a $500 per push plowing project for $100 — you cannot do what the customer wants. However, if you lost the project over five or 10 percent — you were outsold.

ACRI training reduces costly penalties and citations

September 2011 • Hard Hat News • Page 8

ACRI from 7 Since April, 2010, when the enhanced inspections began, citations and penalties have risen steadily.

“MSHA has definitely ramped up the number and variety of citations it’s issuing,” said Mr. Savit. “It is clear that MSHA leadership favors more stringent enforcement as the primary way to ensure safety, and they are taking unprecedented action as of late.”

Mine operators are particularly vulnerable to MSHA enforcement actions, as many citations carry penalties that can cripple the operating budget of a mining company. “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Mr. Savit, remarking on a recent case in which a small stone quarry was assessed over $500,000 in MSHA penalties. Savit, who began his career at the U.S. Dept. of the Interior where he headed MSHA’s special investigation unit, said: “The only way a mining company can operate in this regulatory climate is to become as familiar as it can be with the MSHA citation process. The risk of being unprepared for a significant MSHA enforcement action can be

devastating.”

Scott McKenna, a MSHA certified instructor and owner of Catamount Consulting LLC, agrees.

“Mine operators need to know about and respond to any violations on their sites before MSHA does, and they need to know how to deal with citations,” said McKenna.

“Ignorance of rights, responsibilities, the Code of Federal Regulations and the ACRI process is simply reckless.”

ACRI, the Alternative Case Resolution Initiative, is a MSHA program in which ACRI trained, non-attorney MSHA specialists resolve or adjudicate select enforcement disputes with mine operators arising from citations under the Mine Act. The use of the ACRI process has spread to every type of citation except where serious, disabling or fatal injuries are involved.

The ACRI Workshop is a two and a half day seminar covering the legal and procedural processes involved in field inspections, citations and ACRI resolution. The ACRI workshop provides mine operators and their representatives the skills necessary to participate in

the ACRI process without outside legal representation. Attorneys from Patton Boggs LLP, a preeminent Washington D.C. based firm, provide insight into MSHA laws, research techniques and

litigation procedures.

Participants learn how to organize and present legal arguments and receive a manual with form pleadings useful in preparing for settlement conferences and proceed-

ings with Administrative Law Judges.

ACRI Seminars will take place August 17-19, 2011 at Red Lion Hotel and Casino in Elko, NV and August 23 -25, 2011 at Patton Boggs, LLP Of-

fices in Denver, CO. The cost to attend is $625 per person. More information on the seminar can be found at www.catamountconsultingllc.com or by calling Catamount Consulting at 518-623-2352.

Welding is something that affects everyone every day while most people would never even think about it.

From the car you drive to the bridges you cross to the office chair you might be sitting in while reading this. Welding is everywhere. What isn’t everywhere are enough talented people to produce these welds. The American Welding Society in 2008 determined that the average age of a welder at that time was 55.

Yes that’s 55!! Those folks are not far from retirement. When they go so does their experience. The industry is going to be faced with retraining its workforce.

Our trades — welding, carpentry, electrical, plumbing and heating, HVAC and the likes often find it hard to recruit quality young people. It’s not something that is being passed down from genera-

tion to generation like it was back in the day. Kids today are being told that they need to be in technology. Work with a computer. It’s the way of the future!

Maybe for some, but that computer needs an office to surround it. Who’s going to build that office? Who’s going to build the roads and bridges that need to be driven over in order to get to that office that surrounds that computer?

Not the IT guy, that’s for sure. Modern Welding School offers training to individuals looking to starl a career and also to companies looking for welding training. Modern Welding School specializes in creating a training program to meet your company’s needs with anything welding related including writing and testing welding procedures, AWS, ASME and DOT testing, consulting and hands on welding instruction.

BRADLEY, IL — Arctic Snow and Ice Control Products introduces a new addition to its Sectional Sno-Plow lineup: the Compact Duty Plows. Compatible with small skid steers, compact tractors and small wheel loaders, the CD plows are perfect for clearing small parking lots, sidewalks and larger driveways.

The snow pushers were developed by a veteran of the snow and ice management industry whose goal was to com-

bine the precision of a small plow with the capacity of a much larger one. Ideal for facility managers and established snow and ice removal professionals, the CD plows also offer construction and landscape contractors a productive solution to maximize their fleet’s snow removal potential. Larger property owners, ranchers and farmers can also utilize these plows on smaller equipment currently used in day to day operations.

Featuring a host of innovative, patented features, the CD plows reduce fuel and salt usage by increasing pushing efficiency and eliminating follow up

plowing. Unlike traditional one piece moldboard plows, the Sectional SnoPlows feature a sectional moldboard

Arctic 14

Designed for equipment weighing up to 5,000-pounds, the CD plow is available in three sizes to accommodate a variety of equipment.

Fred Ode, CEO/Chairman, Foundation Software Hey Fred We recently realized that our off the shelf accounting software just wasn’t cutting it for our commercial contracting business. The owner is having me do the research on construction specific systems, and I have just one question: Why is construction specific accounting software so much more expensive?

- Pat Hey Pat That’s a great question. Construction specific accounting software is more expensive than off the shelf accounting packages, but for good reasons. For starters, it is designed for construction, so you’re getting software that handles the accounting and reporting challenges of your industry.

Let’s take a look closer look at other benefits a construction specific program can provide: • Job Costing. Construction specific systems offer automated job costing capabilities. This allows contractors to efficiently manage job progress and performance while eliminating their reliance on cumbersome

spreadsheets and manual reporting.

Some such reports include over and under billing, production, unit cost and cost to complete; • Construction Reporting. In addition to powerful job cost reporting, construction specific software offers industry required reporting. Take certified payroll, for example. When using a construction specific program, creating certified payroll reports instantly is easy. Some of these programs even offer date sensitivity, making it easy to access reports from any time in the

UTCA holds annual convention Scheduled for Sept. 22-25 in Atlantic City The Utility & Transportation Contractors Association is holding its Forty Sixth Anniversary Convention on Sept.

22-25, 2011 at the recently expanded Tropicana Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City. This year’s convention program will include some new experiences for those attending and a “new” Tropicana look that includes “The Quarter” and Havana Tower which include 30 unique shops and upscale restaurants.

James Bradley, best selling author

of Fly Boys, Flags of Our Fathers and The Imperial Cruise, will be this year’s Convention Luncheon speaker.

Bradley has appeared on numerous television programs and is a respected convention speaker.

This year’s convention will include the presentation of the 2011 Larry Gardner Memorial Award to Brendan Binder of Binder Machinery and 2011 William Feather Memorial Award to Rob Earle of The Earle Companies. At the Saturday Dinner, Dick Gardner will be inducted posthumously in the New Jersey Con-

patch, scheduling and dashboards for specific performance reporting.

While it is true that construction specific accounting software costs more up front, the benefits can far outweigh the cost for a growing contractor looking to increase their efficiency and competitiveness.

I hope this helps!

Arctic from 12 design. Each 24-inch wide section is also equipped with it’s own spring loaded trip edge and polyurethane cutting edge to further allow precision plowing.

This unique design allows each section to move up and down independently, enabling the plow to effectively contour to uneven surfaces and remove snow in dips and depressions on the first pass.

The CD plows are outfitted with Sectional SnoPlow’s patented Slip Hitch system, providing faster, easier and more efficient operation. The system allows the plow to automatically adjust and continuously readjust to the pavement grade, resulting in fewer missed areas and less follow up plowing. Because the Slip Hitch ensures proper placement, less time and effort is required to position the plow, making it ideal for inexperienced operators. It also enables the plow to operate independently from the equipment, ensuring all four tires remain on the pavement at all times.

This provides full traction and eliminates drag and loss of horsepower.

Bolt-on mechanical side panels protect the equipment, plow and operator.

Compared to plows with rigid fixed panels that may be severely damaged if an obstacle were encountered, the CD plow’s side panels rotate up and over small obstructions. The panels also feature durable AR400 hardened steel shoes. Combined with the Slip Hitch system, the shoes are able to ride flat along the pavement, allowing for even wear and prolonged life.

tion is individually mounted to the plow’s mainframe with engineered polyurethane blocks. In the unlikely event of damage, one single section can easily be unbolted, removed and replaced in less than 15 minutes, providing both time and cost savings.

Designed for equipment weighing up to 5,000pounds, the CD plow is available in three sizes to accommodate a variety of equipment. The 6-foot, CD6 model is the smallest, with a weight of 1,000-pounds and pushing capacity of 0.7-cubicyards. Weighing in at 1,108-pounds, the CD8 is an 8-foot model that offers a capacity of 0.9-cubic-yards. Finally, the CD10 is the largest of the compact duty plows. The 10-foot plow weighs 1,216-pounds and offers a 1.1-cubic-yard capacity. One plow fits all thanks to the universal bucket mounting system, which allows the plow to be connected in minutes.

Furthermore, every CD plow is backed by a two year limited warranty.

New bridge replaces 89 year old Saratoga Lake icon

by Julie Rigg

A ribbon cutting ceremony May 26, 2011 celebrates the reopening of the Saratoga Lake Bridge. Cutting the ribbon L-R: Jim Jennings; Scott T. Johnson, Mayor Saratoga Springs; Joan McDonald, NYSDOT commissioner; Roy McDonald, NY State Senator; Tom Wood, Saratoga town supervisor; “Flavor,” Stewart's mascot and Mary Ivey, NYSDOT regional director.

Saratoga Springs, NY is known for its horseracing, The original bridge a three span polygonal Warren replaced. Additionally, workers repaired the steel and its SPAC (Saratoga Performing Arts Center) and its through truss bridge with riveted connections, was they applied a new wear surface to the sidewalk and friendly downtown. Another landmark is Saratoga built in 1923. It spanned 610-feet and has undergone curb. Most recently, crews rehabilitated the bridge in Lake and its familiar icon, the Route 9P bridge over some rehabilitation through the years; however, it 1991 during a project that once again included the the north end of the lake. For nearly nine decades, simply had to be replaced. According to NYDOT, over repair of the steel along with the repair of the south the original bridge carried ever increasing traffic the years, rehabilitation included the replacing of the pier and the replacement of the concrete bridge deck. loads but it had not been upgraded to handle this north pier in 1943; bridge steel sandblasted and The new bridge design is a Multi-Span, Steel growth. That is until December 2009 when a contract repainted in 1963; the roadway surface was redone Composite Girder Bridge. It has an open design that was awarded and preliminary work began in April and the bridge rehabbed in 1972, which included the allows for more pedestrian-friendly access and an 2010 to replace the aging structure. repair of the concrete piers and the abutments were open view. From the date of closure on September 7, 2010, until the ribbon cutting on May 26, 2011, the project moved along swiftly. The project required considerable planning accompanied with timely site work. John V. Nolan, engineer in charge, Region 1 for NYSDOT said, “This has been a three to five year design with a 262 day schedule to replace the existing bridge.”

With the aggressive schedule, work was awarded to Kubricky Construction in December 2010. Nolan noted that the Kubricky Construction (member of D.A. Collins Companies) “[put forth] exemplary efforts and meeting tasks.”

A crew of 15 worked through the winter months, with 30 workers on site after the winter weather subsided. Subcontractors include EMI, Collins Construction and D.A. Collins Companies. EMI was involved with the bridge rail and signs. Collins Concrete Construction did all of the granite curbing, while D.A. Collins did the steel erection and rebar installation.

Early work included moving the 8-inch sewer line that traversed the lake via the bridge. According to John Walsh, project manager with Kubricky Construction, crews used directional drilling to bury the sewer lines 30-foot below the bottom of the lake.

Workers set guardrail posts into freshly poured concrete on the bridge's walkway.

Rt. 9 Bridge 17

Rt. 9 Bridge from 16 They also relocated electric and phone lines (which were at the time of this writing are still temporarily resting on the bottom of the lake in two conduits).

Walsh said that (by the time this story is published) National Grid and Verizon were expected to be on site to install replacement lines across the new bridge and the old ones would be taken up.

Although the northeast winter brought the area a record snowfall with an abundance of spring rain that increased water levels of the lake, the high water level did not greatly affect work on the bridge project.

Aside from some overtime hours to get the project back on schedule, Walsh said that work progressed nicely.

Carol Breen, Public Information Officer with NYSDOT said via e-mail correspondence, “I think one of the most important aspects of this bridge is that we were able to come up with a solution to save taxpayers money while reducing impacts to the surrounding community. We saved approximately $5 million on the $10.8 million project by completely closing the bridge to traffic during construction instead of using staged construction. We used pre-cast concrete piles for the piers, which helped speed construction. By using the pre-cast piers, we were able demolish the old bridge and build the existing structure in nine months. (Preliminary work began in April 2010 and some drainage and landscaping work will continue through the summer, but the bulk of work was completed in nine months).

“We closed the bridge to traffic after Labor Day weekend last year and committed to have the new bridge open to traffic by Memorial Day weekend this year so that we would not impact the busy summer travel and tourism season, which is so important to the Saratoga Lake community. The contractor worked hard this winter — one of the snowiest in recent history —to get the bridge done on time,” she said.

Improvements One of the biggest improvements to the bridge is the inclusion of sidewalks on both sides of the span.

These walkways will accommodate more pedestrian and bike traffic, a popular attraction for the lake.

Workers place asphalt on the shoulders of the Rt. 9 project.

Richard Filkins of NYS DOT said, “The sidewalks were continued to logical terminals consistent with the project limits. On the south side of the bridge, the sidewalks are being extended to Stewarts, which we consider a generator of pedestrian traffic. On the north end, we are working in conjunction with the City of Saratoga Springs to extend the sidewalk to Regatta View Dr. We are providing no specific paths to private property, but we have worked with the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to provide a path connecting the sidewalk to the Boat Launch Park.”

“Recreational events in the vicinity of the bridge

were considered to the extent feasible in our design, Filkins said. “Sidewalks on both sides of the bridge meet NYSDOT policy. For this project, the policy was reinforced by the extent of pedestrian traffic and recreational use of the bridge.”

On May 26, a ribbon cutting ceremony for the bridge re-opening took place. Final changes to the project will continue until work is completed.

According to Nolan, the temporary bulkhead will come out after some painting is completed.

Workers place asphalt material around one of the manholes as they are putting the finishing touches on the new bridge approach.

Association of Equipment Manufacturers presents revenue neutral solution to rebuilding America’s interstates Multi-year highway bill can be fully funded without raising the gas tax WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has released a revenue neutral solution to rebuild and modernize America’s interstates without raising the gas tax.

The proposal, advanced by AEM in an ongoing effort to reinvigorate the stalled debate on infrastructure investment financing, was developed by Jack Schenendorf, former vice chairman of the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission, of

Counsel, Covington & Burling LLP, and Elizabeth Bell, Associate, Covington & Burling LLP. As the deadline looms to reauthorize U.S. surface transportation policy by Sept. 30, Schenendorf unveiled two alternative solutions to supplement cur-

rent federal transportation revenues in a policy paper published by The Bureau of National Affairs. Recognizing that the current highway trust fund is an inadequate source of federal funding to re-

MD Drilling & Blasting receives Associated General Contractors Safety Award MILFORD, MA — MD Drilling & Blasting was honored with an Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Massachusetts Merit Award for an exemplary safety record for the year ending Dec. 31, 2010.

The Merit Award is given to AGC of Massachusetts members that achieve an incident frequency rate 25 percent lower than the state industry average. In addition to incident rate measurement, the criteria included company manage-

ment, active employee participation, safety training, work site hazard identification and control and safety program innovation. The AGC of Massachusetts had 48 firms that participated in 2010, 13 receiving an AGC Merit Award.

John Capasso, president of MD Drilling & Blasting, received the award from Phil Hammond, CPSM, AICP, director of Client Relations, the Association of Commercial and Institutional Builders, Wellesley, MA. “We have a very strong

safety culture,” says Capasso. Our Safety Director and Team should be congratulated, as well as the individuals within the MD Division in Massachusetts, especially since not only did we achieve a rate 25 percent lower than the industry average in the Specialty Division… we achieved a ZERO incident rate.”

needs are satisfied,” said Dennis Slater, president of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.

“Both Congress and the President have recognized the severity of our infrastructure problem and the need to fix it. But neither has been able to come up with a funding solution to pay for the increased investments. This proposal will provide the critically needed funding to modernize our surface transportation system, and allows Congress to increase transportation investment without raising motor fuel or diesel fuel taxes and with no increase to the debt or the deficit,” asserted Schenendorf.

The revenue neutral transportation funding proposal offers two alternative solutions: a Federal Interstate User Fee

(FIUF) and a Federal Motor Carrier User Fee (FMCUF).

How it works: Federal Interstate User Fee. • All vehicles using the Interstate Highway System would pay a user fee.

The fee would be collected through an “EZ Pass” type system, which would be entirely electronic. There would be no toll booths; • All of the revenues generated by the fee would be deposited in a special account in the Highway Trust Fund. The revenues would be used exclusively to restore the Interstate Highway System to a state of good repair and to expand and modernize it to meet the challenges of the 21st century; • The fee structure would be set annually, by an independent group of experts, at the level necessary to reimburse the states in accordance with policies established by Congress for the federal share of these improvements. No higher, no lower. The fees would not be designed to control the level of traffic or to “price out” drivers from using the Interstate; and • This user fee would restore the Interstate Highway System to being the crown

jewel of the U.S. surface transportation network and the envy of the world.

Federal Motor Carrier User Fee. • This fee would be imposed on commercial trucks’ usage of all roads and would be collected through GPS like systems currently being used by many trucking companies; • Importantly, trucks would not be double charged for miles traveled on the Interstate; rather, those miles would be recorded through the Federal Interstate User Fee program; • All of the revenues generated by this fee would be deposited in a special account in the Highway Trust Fund and would be used exclusively for freight related improvements; • The same independent entity discussed above would set the fee structure at the level necessary to reimburse the states in accordance with policies established by Congress for the Federal share of these freight improvements. No higher, no lower; and • This user fee would play a critical role in improving the movement of freight, thereby helping to make U.S. businesses more competitive in today’s global marketplace.

AEM from 18 build and modernize the nation’s deteriorating roads, bridges and highways, Schenendorf’s solutions will create an alternative funding source for America’s aging and congested interstate highways that are a growing barrier to U.S. economic growth.

“Our manufacturers and farmers are at a competitive disadvantage with other countries because of aging infrastructure that has suffered decades of neglect. We risk losing manufacturing and agriculture jobs to overseas markets if Congress further reduces highway spending, as has been proposed in the House. With no political will by policy makers to increase the gas tax, we must look for other practical solutions that ensure the nation’s transportation

Kenworth announces transfer case PRO option package on all wheel drive medium duty trucks Kenworth first in industry to offer factory installation KIRKLAND, WA — Kenworth Truck Company announced that its all wheel drive Kenworth T270 Class 6 and T370 Class 7 models now can be factory ordered with a power takeoff option (PTO) on the two speed transfer case.

“Kenworth is the first in the industry to offer a factory installed PTO output drive on the transfer case on a medium duty chassis,” said Judy McTigue, Kenworth’s director of marketing planning and research. “This is a great option for our vocational customers who want to run their body mounted equipment with a PTO. It’s a cost and time saver too. Those operating other brand trucks must purchase an aftermarket retro kit, which can be costly and time consuming.”

The new transfer case PTO option for

all wheel drive T270s and T370s especially serves customers in oil field, fire and rescue, hydro-excavation, vacuum truck, well drilling and high rate fluid transfer applications.

The PTO output drive, which is located on the upper rear of the transfer case, comes with shift control interlocks to help safeguard PTO operation. When specified with an Allison transmission, a special split shift PTO programming package is included to help ensure maximum system protection and effectiveness when shifting in and out of PTO mode.

The new PTO, which produces up to 2,200-foot-pounds of torque using 250 hp, runs up to 3,500 rpm. It is available for the all wheel drive Kenworth T270 and T370 with a PACCAR PX-6 or PAC-

Geocomp Corporation expands and relocates to Acton, MA Geocomp Corporation, has relocated their headquarters from 1145 Massachusetts Ave. in Boxborough to 125 Nagog Park in Acton, MA. Established in 1982, Geocomp is a global leader in geo engineering, having developed some of the most technologically advanced products and solutions available for management of the risks related to large civil construction and infrastructure projects.

Geocomp has experienced significant growth over the last several years and their new Massachusetts location will enable them to accommodate expected growth.

“We have an ambitious five year growth strategy and we’re delighted to have found an ideal space that will expand our capacity in consulting, laboratory services and products manufacturing,” noted Dr. Allen Marr, president and CEO. Geocomp purchased the three story building at Nagog Park which was custom built for Digital Equipment Corporation about 20 years ago. The building is 73,000-square-feet and it has been renovated to suit Geocomp’s needs.

Each floor is approximately 24,000square-feet. GeoTesting Express (Geocomp’s Testing Division) and Laboratory Products Division will occupy the first floor and the company’s consulting and corporate offices will occupy a majority of the second floor.

Geocomp will lease approximately 24,000-square-feet of Class A office space to tenants on the second and

A privately held company, Geocomp has been at the center of many challenging projects around the world, including: Boston’s Big Dig; New York’s Eastside Access project; the World Trade Center and 2nd Ave. subway; the Metro subway in Athens, Greece; the Woodrow Wilson Bridge in Washington, D.C. and the Tonen Refinery in Kawasaki, Japan along with hundreds of other projects for clients in transportation, (bridges, highways, tunneling), mining, water/wastewater, environmental, energy, power (fossil fuel and nuclear) and education.

In addition to their new Massachusetts location, Geocomp has locations in New York, Atlanta, San Francisco and Peru, which enables it to support clients worldwide.

Geocomp’s geo-engineering expertise provide clients with a comprehensive understanding of underground conditions and potential hazards to effectively minimize the risks of: worker and public safety; costly project delays and damage to adjacent structures, especially on complex projects with challenging soil structure conditions.

An industry leader in the Instrumentation and Monitoring of large civil projects, Geocomp integrates its web based, real time, monitoring platform, iSite Central into its Active Risk Management protocols — reducing risk over the entire project life cycle. It couples this expertise with predictive modeling; an indepth expertise in innovative construction materials and foundation and earth support system design, to tackle the
