The PRESIDENT’S Perspective
We Must Continue Asphalt Advocacy in 2011 By Iggy Halley, ACAF 2009-2011 President
A
s I address you for the last time as president, I would first like to thank you for the trust you had in allowing me to serve as your president. I wish continued success to our new incoming president, Larry Dale (Dickerson Florida, Inc.), along with our fine board of directors. I am sure that they will continue to lead this organization through these very trying economic times while maintaining the high standards and level of professionalism associated with our industry. I would also like to thank both Jim Warren and Jim Cordero for the great job they do for us, with such limited resources. Keep up the great job guys. Again this year our industry will be faced with many challenges. First and foremost, we have a new Governor in Rick Scott, and a new administration in Florida that we must adapt to and work with to ensure that we continue to deliver the message of the exceptional product and services that our industry provides. The key word in Governor Scott’s agenda is “jobs.” Our message needs to unequivocally get the word out that there is no greater industry to fund that creates immediate jobs and gets you a great return in your investment than the transportation industry. This message must reach the governor’s office along with the legislative representatives. This year’s budget battle for available funds is going to be difficult as a shortfall is
Vol. 10, No. 1 Spring 2011 FLORIDA ASPHALT
estimated to be over $3 billion. Although during the campaign Governor Scott promised not to raid the highway trust fund, I am sure that he will be pressured by others to raid it. We must all support all efforts to avoid a raid. Again, that includes constant communication with your local elected officials. The concrete industry’s challenge to asphalt pavements on our roadways continues nationally, and has picked up steam. I am sure that this will continue until the housing market recovers. They urgently need a place to place their product, and they have targeted the asphalt industry. Here in Florida, the pressure is high as a potential area to compete in. If we are able to compete on a level playing field, I am confident that we win every time as we have a better, smoother and more competitive product. Unfortunately, the concrete industry realizes this, and continues trying to skew the data in their favor by misrepresenting the asphalt industry. This pressure to try and take part of our market share will continue this year, and we must be vigilant and continue our advocacy for asphalt products, preaching its benefits as the ultimate highway/roadways paving material. We have again retained Stephen W. Shriver, of the Advocacy Group, to look out for our interest in Tallahassee with our legislators. He did a great job last year, and I am sure he will do a great job this year. Stephen is very competent in spreading our message, but we must all do our part and continue our grassroot approach since the concrete industry has a much larger piggy bank than we do. As my term as president comes to a close, I again would like to thank all the great men and women of our industry who go out every day in sweltering heat and lay down the best pavement in the United States. I personally thank you for your efforts, and I am proud to be associated with such wonderful people. It has been my pleasure to have served as your president… adelante! A

The WARREN Report
Spring 2011: Asphalt Kung Fu By Jim Warren, Executive Director of ACAF, Inc.
“Not being tense but ready. Not thinking but not dreaming. Not being set but flexible. Liberation from the uneasy sense of confinement. It is being wholly and quietly alive, aware and alert, ready for whatever may come.” — Bruce Lee (Tao of Jeet Kune Do)
W
elcome to 2011. By the time you read this the year will be almost one fourth over and we should be well into the Legislative session, Governor Scott’s new administration, a new FDOT Secretary, and a changing of the guard in Washington D.C. Will have anything substantive have happened? Time will tell. I have great hopes that the bureaucrats will get a handle on stopping the runaway spending and fiscal irresponsible policies that have, in my opinion, fueled and prolonged this recession. “If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them”. — Bruce Lee We still have a construction budget and we still have resurfacing projects, though fewer — we still have some. So, we have work to do. We can make excuses all day long, but if you do have a contract, you need to get to work and make it the best job you can: on time, on budget, safely and of the highest quality. “To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.” — Bruce Lee We all know times are tough, but what are we spending most of our time on? Are we being proactive, stopping problems before they occur? Or are we spending time and money fixing things that went wrong? A consultant friend said he spent all last year trying to fix problems rather than help people be proactive so they
Vol. 10, No. 1 Spring 2011 FLORIDA ASPHALT
didn’t get into problems in the first place. Where do you fit in this picture? Times are tough, but that doesn’t mean times have to be bad. There is an opportunity with every challenge; the greater the challenges, the bigger the opportunities. Money is tight and profits are low, so increase your return. Staff has been cut back, so let the equipment do the work. “Concentration is purity of thought, Awareness is purity of action, Speed is economy of motion.” “As you think, so shall you become.” —Bruce Lee The fatted calf has long been eaten, and margins are very slim. Find a way to be faster, smoother and more efficient. How much waste is generated each day at the plant, the jobsite and the office? How much does that waste cost? How much does it cost to go back to a completed project and fix a straightedge deficiency or remove defective material? How many times did you do that in 2010? How many times are you planning on doing that in 2011? Wasted motion is wasted energy. “It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.” “The less effort, the faster and more powerful you will be.” —Bruce Lee Find a way to be leaner, faster, smoother and more efficient, and you will not only survive, you will thrive. How’s your Asphalt Kung Fu? Be safe out there & ever forward.

The CAPITOL Report
The Rest of the Story: Jobs By Jim Cordero, Director of Government Affairs, ACAF, Inc.
W
ith this new year comes the desire for a new start, resolutions for improvement and the prospect of a brighter future. The elections are over and the new governor and cabinet have been sworn in; there’s new leadership in the legislature, and even in Washington there is change. New economic signs show some improvement with unemployment figures declining and revised new jobs numbers show higher numbers for the last quarter of 2010. Inflation is virtually nil, and consumer spending has been showing signs of growth. Florida’s new governor, Rick Scott, has pledged to create 700,000 new jobs in the next seven years by improving Florida’s business climate and reducing government regulation.1 The new Congress (112th) in Washington with its new House leadership will be tackling the federal deficit and looking for ways to reduce federal budget such as eliminating “earmarks.” However, as the saying goes, we need to hear “the rest of the story.”2 The unemployment number isn’t the complete picture of the jobs situation. Job growth was the strongest in leisure and hospitality industries, and in health care. Other industries’ payrolls remained largely flat while the construction industry continued to lose jobs.
Vol. 10, No. 1 Spring 2011 FLORIDA ASPHALT
Since December 2007, the economy has shed, on net, about 5.2 percent of its nonfarm payroll jobs. And that doesn’t even account for the fact that the working-age population has continued to grow. This reflects that the economy is still not healthy. In Florida the unemployment rate continues to rise with the construction industry rate being almost twice the state average. Another way to view it is that nearly a third of the unemployed are from the construction industry.3 These numbers usually don’t include those who have given up looking for work.
If we don’t tell our story, who will? While there are many factors impacting the transportation construction slow-down, the basic reason is there are fewer funds available for road construction. Fuel consumption, the main source for transportation trust fund continues to decline and is now at the level of 2006; improved mileage efficiency for cars is one culprit. As for earmarks, it’s reported that $13-billion, so called “orphan earmarks” sit unspent, but are still counted against the federal gas tax funds that the state would receive.4 The purpose of sharing these facts is to demonstrate the importance of remaining active in ACAF’s legislative program and the importance of interacting with your elected officials. Our silence reflects that we are not interested in what they may be doing, or worse, that we approve of it. If we don’t tell our story, who will? Make sure they understand that the transportation construction industry has been impacted by the economic downturn, and the decline in transportation revenues will continue. They need to hear the rest of the story. And yes, we do have an “emergency” that requires quick, decisive action by our elected officials. Let them know you expect them to get to work.

Improving
Pavement Smoothness and Ride of Open Graded Friction Courses
W
e are a lways looking for ways to improve our product a nd with asphalt the one thing that the client (the traveling public) sees and feels is pavement smoothness. Rough roads reduce gas mileage, increase wear and tear on automobiles, and in the worst cases may be a safety issue. After some recent discussions with FDOT and looking at some more current projects, it seems to be time to look at how we can improve the bottom-line, ride. Ambient temperature is the first factor to consider with FC-5. Low ambient temperatures will decrease the amount of time you have to get the mix to the paver. The cooler the external temperature, the more likely it is that the mix in the corners of the trucks will cool off and produce those wonderful chunks of asphalt that get caught in the screed and have to be patched. Vol. 10, No. 1 Spring 2011 FLORIDA ASPHALT
By Kevin Price
The cooler the weather, the bigger impact on longer hauls from the plant to the paver. What was not an issue northbound may be an issue southbound. What was not an issue in August may be an issue in November. While we cannot control ambient temperatures, we should consider changing strategies when the conditions are less than ideal. Mix temperature will impact the material coming out of the paver, especially with a PG76-22 modified mix. If you are running on the lower end of the acceptability range you have a higher probability of the screed tugging at the mix, creating a more open texture. Lower mix temps will greatly reduce your ability to do any hand work that does not result in some sort of deficiency. Polymer modified mixes are already very sticky, but at the lower end of the temperature scale it becomes even worse and it makes your chances of successfully hand patching an area almost zero. If you are having texture issues, check
your mix temps. If they are running consistently low have the plant adjust. Screed heaters can be used to compensate for low ambient or mix temperatures. Haul distance is always a factor with FC5. The longer the haul the greater the chances of the bed corners cooling off and creating the chunks we were talking about earlier. The longer the haul the greater potential for the mix to bleed off AC to the bottom of the truck, creating the fat spots that the department just loves to have replaced at no cost. Long haul times also create a higher potential for truck gaps, and long waits between loads. If the paver is waiting on trucks it may be time to add a few to your haul, or to reduce the traveling speed of the paver to compensate for the time between loads. At the paver the crew should have the greatest opportunity to produce a consistent uniform mat. Sending questionable mix to the job increases your chances of building a poor 15
riding project. Each time mix has to be dug out of the mat and back patched is a risk of a deficiency. Each chunk that gets hung up in the screed is a chance for a deficiency. Each time the paver stops waiting for trucks is another chance for a deficiency. Running the hopper out of mix between loads is the leading cause of a poor ride and segregation. If there is a gap between loads don’t hurry to get rid of the truck you have, discard it slowly and keep the hopper full until the next truck backs up.
After mix leaves the paver your rollers are your last chance at smoothing out the rough spots and making the finished product look like a million bucks. If you’re not hitting it while it’s still hot enough to make a difference, you’re wasting your time. When ambient temps are lower it is a good idea to keep the roller moving more often. When you have hand work to do, get that front roller up there to roll the area and make any corrections right away. A little up front work may save a milling operation later.

I am not sold on the Material Transfer Device (MTD) or shuttle buggy. I do not believe it to be the end all, be all of asphalt placement. That said I do believe it has its place. Several people in the industry have told me that this one machine has reduced their stress levels by 60 percent and saved their marriages. From my perspective the shuttle buggy would/should come into play in certain circumstances or with certain materials. Low ambient temperatures or long hauls would be a couple of examples where the shuttle buggy’s ability to remix asphalt at the placement site would be invaluable. Creating a smooth riding surface with open graded friction is like hitting a moving target. It’s easy to get caught up in the routine of asphalt construction. We forget that what works today may not work tomorrow, and we need to notice that the variables have changed and adjust. Adding more trucks to keep the paving train moving or inserting a shuttle buggy into the operation when the conditions warrant are just a couple of moves that can improve your final product. Remind your operators and crews that today is different than yesterday; adjust to the conditions. Remind all your people of the basics of asphalt construction, and don’t let bad habits become the standard operating procedure. This is asphalt, not mediocre mix or concrete pavement; we set the bar for everyone else to follow. A

The
of
Uncertainty Dealing with Uncertainty in the Industry in Order to Reach your Destination in 2011
By Dana Borowka, MA of Lighthouse Consulting Services, LLC
D
riving up the coast towards Malibu, Calif., the morning sun was rising and I noticed a fog bank several miles off the coast. It was interesting to see from this perspective. The wall of fog stood before the magnificent coast line with many miles of visibility in both directions. As the sun continued to rise, the top of the fog bank whisking around made for a beautiful scene. As I headed up into the mountains, I kept looking back to see how it was progressing. As I ascended in elevation, I could see the fog was covering the ocean as far as the eye could see. It was progressing towards the shore and in just a matter of a few minutes what had been clear visibility along the coast was now completely obscured. Have you ever had this experience in either your business or personal life? You have a course, a plan, a direction and then — the fog rolls in. What do you do? I’d like to share an experience. Then we’ll jump into some specific steps that you can consider and talk over with your team members as we move into the new year. I’m an avid sailor, and that usually leads to getting bigger boats over time. We traveled to San Diego, Calif. to purchase our next boat, which was 28 feet in length. We needed to get the boat to Marina del Rey, Calif., which is an 100+ mile journey. We planned on bringing it up over a two-day period. Our plans included having all the appropriate tools — a
Vol. 10, No. 1 Spring 2011 FLORIDA ASPHALT
navigational chart, GPS, fog horn and radar deflector mounted on the mast, but we had no radar. When we woke up in the early morning hours to set sail on our journey we could barely see the boat next to us — the fog was so thick that visibility was only 15-20 feet at best. We waited a bit for the fog to clear, but we had a schedule to keep. With charts and GPS in hand we set out and made our way through the harbor very carefully. Our charting was spot on, and we had a spotter/listener on the bow to make sure we didn’t miss anything. Things were going well until we heard the sound of waves crashing. We were off course, but fortunately we had our spotter on the bow. We adjusted our course immediately and made it out to sea. The fog cleared, and we had porpoises swimming all around us with clear sailing and visibility. On the final leg home, we hit fog again. This time we made it to the breakwater, which appeared right in front of us by only 100 feet or so. It was just where we thought it would be thanks to our planning. As we enter 2011, uncertainty seems to be a constant theme. Yet if we have a plan and remain flexible with our goals then we can make it through the fog and reach our destination safe and sound. By using the ideas we are about to share you’ll know if your organization is heading towards the rocks, the open sea or on a clear course towards your destination. Think for a moment about the various components of a boat that are needed in order to keep it afloat and heading in the intended 17
direction. Observe how they compare to your organization.

if your organization has one key ingredient you’ll be able to survive and thrive beyond your wildest dreams.
Key Ingredient to Thrive The answer always comes back to having the right crew on board. It all begins with the selection process, mentoring and staff development. If this is done correctly you’ll not only make it through to 2011, you’ll also be ready to ride the wave of 2012 and beyond! Let’s take a look at how this works. By having the right crew on board, you’ll have: • Contributors – They’ll help the ship reach its course through innovation, ingenuity, timely fulfillment of tasks, follow through, etc. • Happy customers – They’ll keep coming back due to the outstanding service and quality of the product. • Happy employees – They’ll go the extra mile for the organization and its customers. This also leads to positive word of mouth that can attract top talent. • Open Minded Culture – Problem solving is the key to anticipating needs, dealing with weather changes and being open to adapting to the environment. • Profitability – You’ll meet your organization’s goal and objective where everyone is rewarded for doing a great job, and your organization will be able to continue to provide services and products with the opportunity to visit other destinations in the future. An organization can build a sturdy ship, but without the right people behind the scenes it won’t leave port. All this starts with the captain of the ship and with its officers. If they select the correct crew up front, they know the job will get done correctly, in a timely manner and the work can be trusted. Can you trust that your crew will do their job, not only correctly, but in a timely manner? Do they also contribute ideas for further improvement so you can get the maximum value from each individual? If the answer is, “I’m not sure,” then your answer may be reflective of the future Vol. 10, No. 1 Spring 2011 FLORIDA ASPHALT
survival of your vessel. Every organization must have all hands on deck with crew members that are excited and grateful to be aboard and have the ability to perform the best they can.
A Whale of a Tale for Teamwork
choice was based, not only on experience, but also the ability to work with others. They learned that it is vital to understand a person’s work style and how they interact with others in order to have a high performing team. If just one person isn’t “playing well in the sandbox” the
A manager once had an outstanding team, but always told everyone what to do. This person didn’t listen, didn’t ask questions, demanded a higher level of volume without asking if the organization could handle it and created a closed environment. Over time, things started to slip through the cracks. Customers were not getting the attention they needed, sales slipped, people started to leave, and the organization began to develop a bad reputation, so recruitment became a problem. Upper management stepped in and started to ask the team members for their feedback. It turned out that the manager was not a good fit for that position and was transitioned into another department. When a new manager was selected, the

effects can ruin a brand and effect sales and future growth of an organization.
A Checklist for Success • When selecting the crew, have a clear understanding of the ideal crew member and have a system to assure you have selected the correct crew members. This can be done through interviewing and asking questions for specific examples and comparing those answers to what an ideal crew member would do. Gather as much data as possible from reference and background checks, as well as an in-depth work style and personality assessment. The information should be used to validate the interview responses, background and reference checks. • Ask each current crew member for feedback on where they think that the team and themselves could be more efficient in the market place within the next 30-60-90 days. This means that everyone on your ship needs to have
their eyes and ears open to seeing where it might be possible to improve and enhance processes, structure, services, customer service, etc. • Captains and officers need to listen to everyone and create a truly open environment. Come up with three things that you can do to make that happen. • Define what the ideal crew member would possess in skills, work style and personality and make it measurable. • Assist the current crew to fulfill their role. Make sure you have an in-depth work style and personality assessment of your crew members so you’ll have the insight on how to help everyone thrive, and to get the best performance from each team member. Through in-depth assessments you will discover how your staff solves problems, deals with stress, makes decisions, processes information, creates and follows up on leads, etc. This will help to ensure that you have the right person in the correct position so they can perform to the best of their ability.
