Editor’s Column Douglas Towne

Welcome to the debut Issue of Arizona Contractor & Community!

Our new publication seeks to become a vital forum for the state’s building industry by providing exposure and information to companies in the field. We also want to include those on the industry’s fringe and tap into individuals who have fresh ideas on adaptive reuse of historic buildings or how to make new construction more community-friendly and sustainable. The magazine will also look in the rearview mirror and honor the many remarkable construction accomplishments in Arizona by running historical features on selected projects and people. It may have been just a “day’s work” back then but these construction pioneers created the framework that still holds Arizona together.

The catalyst behind this re-launch is William “Billy” Horner, whose family is well known in Arizona construction.

His grandfather, Bill Ray Horner, was a blade operator and general contractor for over 30 years. Bill Ray’s three sons also worked in the industry including Billy’s father, Billy Joe. Billy spent his youth working alongside his dad and fondly recalls the carefree days when riding on construction equipment to learn a new skill was not against regulations.

Billy worked at Achen Gardner Construction and other firms before becoming a blade operator for Ace Asphalt. An accomplished drummer since his high school marching band

days, Billy currently pounds the drums for a Valley band yet, despite his day job and musical hobby, he saw an opportunity to create a publication to improve communication in the construction industry.

An icon in construction publishing, Chuck Runbeck has been brought aboard as senior magazine consultant. In 1953, he started in the advertising business and later founded Runbeck Publishing & Graphics. His magazine, Southwest Contractor, served the industry for many years until it was sold to McGraw-Hill in 1990.

Moonlighting from her corporate career, Laura Harley is in charge of all staff and office duties. The English native also serves as the graphics designer for the publication and is the glue that holds the magazine together.

Barry Warner is assisting with advertising. Barry started his career in the late 1970’s on the paving crews at Professional Contracting. Barry is currently a superintendent for Ace Asphalt, where he has been a dedicated employee for over 20 years.

Also on board is architect Taz Loomans, known for her Blooming Rock web page that is “Her personal guide to architecture in Phoenix.” Taz tirelessly examines the city, evaluating development styles and pondering how Phoenix can develop a stronger sense of place. She’s an invaluable team member and will serve as contributing editor, writing on all sorts of cutting-edge topics.

Welcome to the debut Issue of Arizona Contractor & Community!

Whether it’s a brand name or a sense of place, marketing yourself properly is critical to a construction company or a community. Both entities pay consulting firms handsomely to put their best face out to the public. For many years, I’ve written about the tourist industry that has long been vital to the region’s economy. It’s staggering the many slogans the city and region have adapted trying to better sell themselves to the outside world.

Phoenix itself is largely without a nickname, though not for lack of trying. Marketing campaigns included 1923’s “Phoenix, Where Summer Winters” where one could “winter among the palms and the roses.” Tourist publications from 1928 called Phoenix, “The Gold Spot of America.” The city was described as “the capital of the Arizona Land of Enchantment” in 1939 when New Mexico also started using that slogan. None caught on with the public.

The major marketing accomplishment has been rebranding the “Salt River Valley,” albeit with a few false starts. The movement was fueled by the perception of many residents who felt that the name conveyed an image of an alkali wasteland and saline water supplies. Searching for a catchy slogan for the region, the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and the Arizona Republican newspaper held a contest in 1921. Over 1,100 entries were submitted, each hoping to win the grand prize of $25. Although never used extensively, “Rich, Resolute, Ready, Phoenix, Salt River Valley” won, edging out other jingles such as “Where Sunshine Turns Your Efforts into Gold,” and “Harvest Prime, Health Sublime, Where Old Sol Works Overtime.” In 1925, the Chamber’s idea of renaming the region “Roosevelt Valley” after Teddy, the former president of “Roosevelt Dam” fame, met with strong opposition for political reasons.

Above: 1939 postcard promoting Phoenix.

In 1922, the iconic “Valley of the Sun,” slogan was coined by an advertising agency. The phrase couldn’t help but tempt individuals in snowy climates perusing brochures in search of a vacation destination. Interestingly, it took 12 years before the phrase was commonplace; it was not officially adopted until 1935.

Similar to the search for the “Valley of the Sun” slogan, fine-tuning your construction firm’s marketing campaign takes time, creativity and, undoubtedly, a little luck but the dividends can be invaluable. We at Arizona Contracting and Community hope to not only become part of your company’s marketing campaign but to provide an eagerly anticipated magazine full of up-to-date local construction information, new thoughts on the industry, requests for proposals, and fascinating historical features.

Let us know how we can best accomplish these goals!

new housing construction doldrums?

This may be true if recent events in Mesa are an accurate indication.

Six years after being approved by the City of Mesa in 2006, Lehi Crossing is scheduled to have its grand opening in July 2012. Long delayed because of the housing crisis, William Lyons Homes began construction of the development’s housing pads and mass excavation in 2010. The new master-plan subdivision is located at 3009 East Lehi Road located between Thomas and Gilbert Roads just south of the Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway.

When completed, Lehi Crossing will consist of approximately 800 new homes on a 285 acre site. The homes will vary in size from 1,300 to 4,000 square feet. Interspersed throughout the development are trails, retention basins, and parks.

L.R. Contreras, Mesa, and Temcon Concrete, Tempe, are splitting the load on sidewalks along with curb and gutter work. M.R. Tanner has the contract for all subgrade, ABC, and paving.

Graef Digs Sun City West

Sun City West, which was built by the Del Webb Corporation starting in 1978, is having its last piece of undeveloped land turned into three shop pads and parking areas. Graef Construction, Phoenix, has the low bid at the site that is located near the center of Sun City West on the northwest corner of Beardsley Road and West Stardust Boulevard.

Graef has completed over excavation for the pad footings and rough dirt work for all parking areas. They started the first phase in the second week of January and will return to complete the fine grading this spring.

The general contractor is Brinkmann Constructor, Colorado and the equipment used includes a John Deere 762B water-pull, 770BH blade, Caterpillar 613C scraper, loader, and excavator.

Big Jet Build Out in Goodyear

The main landing strip at the Phoenix Goodyear Airport is getting an upgrade thanks to a $4.5 million dollar Federal Aviation Administration Grant.

Achen Gardner Construction, a Chandler-based firm, has been contracted by the City of Phoenix Aviation Department for the design-build and construction modifications for Taxiway "A" intersections at the airport located at 1685 South Litchfield Road in Goodyear. The project will replace, widen, and add new taxiway intersections to meet Group IV category aircraft. Runway improvements include widening and strengthening of the acute angle connectors in the asphalt pavement.

Phase 1 of the project was completed in November 2010. Phases 2 and 3 began in October 2011 and will be completed late this spring.

Earthmoving for the last two phases will consist of approximately 33,000 cubic yards (cu. yd.) of which roughly one-third will be for excavation.

Specifics tasks include: bituminous pavement removal of 8,000 cu. yd., 3,000 linear feet of saw cut for the existing 7 inch asphalt, 28,000 cu. yd. of compacted sub-base material, 16,000 cu. yd. of surface stabilization with mixed in glue, 28,000 tons of aggregate base course (ABC), and 5,400 tons of asphalt base with 2730 tons of surface course. Prior to work, crews will demolish existing conduit duct banks and taxiway edge lighting. All taxiway "A" intersections received new light-emitting diode (LED) and elevated taxiway edge lighting, new signage, and striping, storm drain pipe, and catch basins.

Sub-Contractors on the Goodyear Airport project include Premier Engineering Corp., Chandler; Royal Electric Company, Phoenix; RAMM Materials Testing, and Combs Construction, Phoenix. Equipment used by Achen Gardner includes a 140H blade, 613C scraper, 420E Backhoe, Case 570 Gannon, and 950 Loader.

Surprise Site for Upscale Retail/Office Center

Construction has begun on Marley Park Square, the upscale neighborhood retail and office center in the heart of Surprise, Arizona. DMB Associates is developing the 32-acre site located at the southwest corner of Litchfield and Waddell Roads.

Phase 1 of the project kicked off in November 2011 with the construction of a new QuikTrip convenience store. Multiple pads are also being prepared with utilities and site access for a future bank, single and multi-tenant retail shop buildings catering to high-end retail outlets.

To date, DMB Associates has nearly completed off-site road improvements and Champion is in the process of engineering the first phase of retail pads. Champion’s work is financed by Stearns Bank and is expected to be completed by March, 2012.

The second phase of onsite construction will include vertical construction of the single and multi-tenant pads, as well as vertical construction of in-line retail shop space. Marley Park Square will create a neighborhood community to serve more than 117,000 local residents, nearby businesses, and the many tourists who visit the city. Total cost of the project is $1.2 million.

Two companies are contracted for offsite work. Knochel Brothers, Phoenix, will pour all curb and gutter work, subgrade, aggregate base course (ABC), and paving on Waddell Road. C-70, Phoenix, finished all concrete work, subgrade, ABC prep, followed by the paving on Litchfield Road, in late February. There are many project subcontractors for the busy intersection: Cal-Portland, Ace Asphalt, Cooper Bates, 3-Phase, Haywood, Torrent, Steffey Excavating, and Sucato Masonry. Rental companies include Neff Rentals and New Western.

Job specifications for the project are 1,700 feet of new waterline, 1,200 feet of sanitary sewer, 1,000 feet of storm sewer, and 8,000 feet of electrical conduit, provided by Arizona Public Service.

named after seven-term Arizona Governor George W.P. Hunt.

M.R. Tanner, Gilbert, has just completed Phase 1 involving turn lanes and other improvements at the intersection of Hunt Highway and Franklin Boulevard. The project is for the Pulte Homes development, South Anthem, located in Florence. These street improvements tie together with other Hunt Highway upgrades completed for the nearby Florence Hospital which was finished in early 2012.

Tanner’s crews moved around 6,000 yards of dirt to complete the subgrade preparation and stockpiled the material just east of the project behind the new hospital according to Project Supervisor Mark Bingham. Arizona Materials trucked in 4,000 tons of aggregate base course (ABC) to be fine graded for the overlaying 1,500 tons of asphalt.

The asphalt will also be laid by the Tanner crews in two lifts. The first lift of asphalt will be a base course laid at 3 inches followed by the surface course at 2 inches.

Prior to development, the project consisted of undisturbed desert.

Hunt Highway was a two-lane road with bare shoulders lacking curbs and gutters. H.W. Johnson was contracted to pour all curbs and gutters; underground pipes were installed by Southwest. The engineer was Baxter Engineering, Mesa. Tanner's equipment for this phase included a Caterpillar 140H blade, 613C scraper, John Deere tractor, 4,000 gallon water truck, and 9-wheel roller.

Knochel Brothers, Phoenix, completed the grading and paving of the parking lot at the 96,000 square-foot hospital. The General Contractor for the onsite is Layton Construction and with the completion of the new hospital and intersection, M.R. Tanner will start on phase two in the spring.

People John Drexler

Best Known For: Founding Ace Asphalt of Arizona in 1981 in Phoenix. The company later expanded to Tucson and Flagstaff. During this time period, the company grew from 2 to over 500 employees. John, who goes by “J.D.,” ran the company until he passed over the reins to his son, Tim Drexler in 2006.

Noteworthy Business Achievements: Selected by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce as the “1991 Phoenix Small Business Person of the Year.” In 2002, John Drexler and his son Tim were chosen Entrepreneurs of the Year in the construction category by Ernst & Young.

Childhood Experiences: Born in 1939 in Hungary where his German grandparents had immigrated to look for better opportunities.

The family returned to Ludwigsburg, Germany in 1943 during World War II and suffered horribly during the conflict. His father was conscripted into the Wehrmacht (German Army) where his family endured both invading troops and Allied aerial bombing.

Turning Point in Life: His father hit gold when he applied to immigrate to America after passing tests in 1952. They arrived in New York City after a 16 -day sea voyage. Inspired at seeing the Statue of Liberty and New York, John vowed to his parents that he would become successful.

Escape from the Cowboy State: His mother’s cousin in Milwaukee couldn’t believe the stories of how bad their situation was in Gillette.

During a visit, she was horrified at the living conditions and offered to pay for their voyage and fund their move to Milwaukee. The rancher, however, said the Drexler’s were indentured for five years and could not leave.

The family eventually traveled to Milwaukee after threatening to contact the local sheriff.

Building a Foundation for Success: In Milwaukee, John worked a newspaper route, attended school, and learned English. At age 16, with only an 8th grade education, he dropped out of school to work at a meat market. He thought about running his own butcher shop and someday making that his career but wisely decided that he would face tough competition from chain stores. Subsequently he worked as a stock man at Allis-Chalmers and as a fork lift operator at an American Motors factory.

John Moved Mountains: Not really, but he did purchase a house in the path of a freeway and moved it 25 miles to his property. He dug a basement and set the house on a foundation.

His parents liked the house so much, John gifted it to his parents.

Odd Job Becomes Pathway to Success: In 1966, John started the Parking Stripes Company that painted lines in parking lots, an occupation with which he had some previous experience. He purchased a used striping machine for $250, an old van for $213, and a notebook from

America Was No Bed of Roses: John’s family was hired by a rancher who lived near Gillette, Wyoming. They herded 3,000 sheep and performed housekeeping duties. It was Another very difficult time for the Drexler family; they worked long hours, were often

sick, had to use a dictionary to communicate, and were essentially treated as indentured servants.

running the largest seal-coating maintenance company in Wisconsin which he sold to an employee in 1984.

Arizona Beginnings: Looking to expand to new locations, John investigated Phoenix in 1981 and decided to start a business. His son, Tim and two other workers moved to the Valley of the Sun and rented a small shop for a few years. John joined them in 1983 and purchased property and buildings at 7th Avenue and the Salt River for Ace Asphalt. His company later expanded to 36 acres at the site.

Other Arizona Projects: John has also built subdivisions and golf courses under the entity, Drexler Development.

He purchased a used striping machine for $250, an old van for $213, and notebook from Walgreen’s for 13 cents for record keeping.

Origins of John’s Work Ethic: Suffering as a kid; he didn’t want his own children to go through the same difficult experiences. With new construction challenges he just kept trying and although exhausted, refused to quit. John’s goal was to be dependable, reliable, honest, trustworthy, and never let his customers down.

Advice to Others: “If you decide to go into a venture that’s worthwhile, try not to try to accomplish ten other things at the same time.

Focus on what you’re trying to do at the time and not get sidetracked. Always keep your word, and be determined to do what you say you are going to do. I also put my faith and trust in God.”

scrambled for customers and coaxed his worn machine through each job.

Turning Point in Business: Eventually, John’s excellent reputation earned him a large job with a tight deadline; the only problem was that his old machine had died. Needing a new striping machine, he called the Mollie Bloomberg Company in New Holstein, Wisconsin. Contacting the company’s president, John’s enthusiasm so impressed him that he offered him their first machine if he could be there the next morning to pick it up. John did and finished the parking lot job and thousands more.

His Business Lights Up: John eventually acquired so many striping jobs, that he had a light installed on the top of his van so he could work during the nights as well. He later expanded into filling cracks and potholes. Which at the time were manually repaired. John then began seal-coating parking lots. Soon afterward, John hired a staff and was Fifteen

Reaching for the Sun: Phoenix's Iconic Hotel Westward Ho Douglas Towne What does it take to compete for the title: “Most Interesting Building in

Phoenix?”

Size matters. So do sex appeal and longevity. A spiritual presence is also helpful. Don’t forget celluloid fame and technological innovations. And the ability to reshape the city with your construction debris is an unexpected bonus.

One building has all these characteristics in spades: the Westward Ho. When the Hotel Westward Ho opened in 1928, it was the largest hostelry between Kansas City and the Pacific Coast. It remained the tallest building in Phoenix for 32 years. If you count the transmission tower that was later added, the building’s height wasn’t surpassed until 1970. The edifice remains an iconic Phoenix landmark today, set apart to the north from the other downtown skyscrapers and foreshadowing the direction of high-rise commercial growth in the city along Central Avenue.

As a first-class hotel charging $2 per night at a time when most Phoenix hotel rooms could be had for a quarter, the Hotel Westward Ho was a glamorous hotspot for Hollywood celebrities, powerful politicians, wealthy visitors and even common folk celebrating special occasions. Some of the hotel’s legendary moments include alleged late night skinny-dipping sessions by Marilyn Monroe and a rousing speech given on its front steps by John F. Kennedy just days before being elected the 35th President.

The Hotel Westward Ho was also the home of the first television station to broadcast in Arizona, KPHO-TV5. The 268-foot high television tower atop the building was used by the station from 1949 until 1960 when the transmitter was moved to a tower on South Mountain. Unused since then, it remains an indelible signpost in the city and is often mistaken for the tower shown in the opening of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 movie, Psycho. That radio tower was a few blocks south atop the Heard Building and was later taken down; the Westward Ho’s tower did, however, make it into the 1998 remake of Psycho.

What’s a historic building without a little mystery? There’s the now closed off tunnel leading east from the building to the long defunct underground bowling alley, the Gold Spot. And the requisite sightings of mischievous ghosts throughout the hotel adorned in clothes of an earlier era. Or the wacky tale that Al Capone’s auto is hidden in the Westward Ho’s now-closed underground parking garage.

Construction of the hotel helped solve one of the city’s most vexing transportation problems. The Old Town Ditch (Swilling’s Ditch) flowed alongside Van Buren Street near Central Avenue. Much to the city’s dismay, the open trench proved to be a magnet for wayward autos. In 1923, the Salt River Water Users Association agreed to abandon the canal for $121,000 and divert its water into the Grand Canal. In 1926, the Old Town Ditch was drained and soil excavated from the hotel site was used to fill the abandoned canal. Van Buren was subsequently paved and became the major traffic artery through the city.

Perhaps most importantly, the Maltese cross-shaped building is a survivor. Even when commercial activity shifted from downtown to the city’s outskirts after World War II, the Hotel Westward Ho survived until 1979. After a brief hiatus, it reopened as a home for senior citizens in 1981

and continues in this function today. The city skyline is much more interesting because of its presence.

Despite this impressive legacy, the birth of the Westward Ho was fraught with problems and it nearly became a “white elephant.”

Fortunately, the structure was successfully completed, although with a different name.

The impetus for a swank hotel in Phoenix was the arrival of the main Southern Pacific railroad line in 1926 which stimulated both commercial and tourist activity. The new rail alignment brought two trains through Phoenix, linking Los Angeles with New Orleans (the Sunset Limited) and Chicago (the Golden State Limited). The Pacific Hotel Company of Los Angeles decided to build a 16-story hotel to be called the “Roosevelt” with 329 guest rooms and 250 parking spaces at Central Avenue and Fillmore Street.

Construction went smoothly until halfway through, when the Pacific Hotel Company went broke. Work ceased and Phoenix was rife with discussion over the fate of the partially completed building. One rumor was that the company building the Arizona Biltmore Hotel would take over the project and complete both simultaneously. However, a group of local investors led by George Johnson, a Chicago builder-investor, purchased the unfinished structure, renegotiated the construction contracts, completed the original plan, and renamed the building, Hotel Westward Ho. The new owners must have considered the original proposed name, the Roosevelt, unworthy of such a dazzling establishment, since many hotels across the nation named after Theodore Roosevelt tended to be mediocre hostelries. “Westward Ho!” was originally the title of an 1855 British historical novel about an Englishman’s Caribbean adventure, and the phrase had been used to describe the frontier migration across the West. “Westward Ho” also conveyed the excitement about Phoenix’s burgeoning growth in the 1920s before the onset of the Great Depression.

Organized in 1925 by two brothers, H.C. Tiffany Sr. and, A.E. Tiffany, the firm moved from San Jose, California to Phoenix in 1934. The company originally offered paving and grading services but expanded over the years to include a wide variety of heavy engineering construction services. Tiffany Construction Company is currently licensed in Arizona and California with offices in Phoenix and Sedona.

Tiffany Construction Company specializes in “Construction Manager at Risk” projects and “Design/Build” work.

The firm has agreements with a variety of government entities in Arizona to perform their ongoing service contracts and emergency repairs as well as being included on many exclusive bidding lists for utilities and private businesses.

Architect’s Column Interview with Christina Noble -Taz Loomans It used to be that architecture was an old white man’s profession. Today, the face of architecture is changing to include a more ethnically diverse population, more women professionals, and a younger demographic.

That being said, there are still woefully few women in leadership positions in the field of architecture. That’s why I was so excited when I met Christina Noble, a young architect who’s done some impressive projects and owns her own firm here in Phoenix.

Below is my conversation with her: Taz: What made you decide to become an architect?

Christina: When I was in high school I would baby sit for close family friends, Jim and Debra Larson. Jim is a well established architect here in the Valley, an incredible mentor and just a great guy. He would have drawings and magazines lying around the house and once Jim’s son went to bed I would flip through the magazines and look at the drawings. I was hooked.

Taz: What's it like to be a young woman architect in an industry that's historically been dominated by older men?

Christina: I always liked to imagine my mother in the 70s as a bra-burning feminist, even if the truth is that she was probably too nerdy to be so anti-establishment.

Still, her strength has had a large impact on me. She’s a public defender for Maricopa County and in her professional life is constantly standing up for the underrepresented in what can be a very daunting and complicated system. I like to hope that I’ve inherited some of her fearlessness.

This isn’t to say that going to architecture school in the 90s and beginning my professional career in the 2000s seemed to me like something that required a great deal of strength or willpower – at least from a gender perspective. Interestingly, seventy-five percent of my architecture class at Rice was women. Also, my first project team while at Michael Graves was all women. As a young architect and designer with ample energy, dedication, and time, I didn’t feel like architecture was a profession that excluded me – it was one that accepted everything I was willing to give with open arms.

That being said, I think there is a tendency to associate buildings and their construction with rigidity, Twenty

hardness and cutting precision. Functionality, operations, time and money are critical aspects of the design equation. Our primary design palette includes concrete, steel and glass. At the same time we’re also responsible for creating comfortable, lively spaces where everyone that visits will experience an emotional connection and feel welcome. We’re constantly balancing these often conflicting aspects that all feed into a building’s design.

What I appreciate is that we need not assign qualities such as strength, adaptability, or delicacy to a specific gender, but should instead celebrate these characteristics in everyone.

Taz: What was your path to owning your own business?

Christina: I’ve always wanted to be in an ownership position, whether that meant rising through the ranks of a firm or going out on my own. When the downturn hit, many of my friends and I found that our firms no longer needed us. Rather than seeing the downturn as a setback, I chose to view it as an opportunity and a challenge to begin what I had always imagined – open my own firm, Contour Architecture. It happened earlier in my career than I had originally visualized but I also saw the upheaval as a chance to develop a different kind of professional relationship with my architectural peers.

We began two years ago as a team of five architects who hire each other on a contract basis to market and work on projects together. Since then we’ve collaborated on three projects.

It’s interesting to consider the profession moving toward a more nimble workforce where flexible relationships allow you to both develop your own expertise while also expanding and broadening our experience into new directions. Our team has a more entrepreneurial spirit and we are more open to experimentation with what projects we choose to work on and how we choose to work together.

Taz: What have some of your favorite projects been up to now that you've had a chance to work on?

Christina: It always seems like the project I’m working on right now is my favorite. Right now I’m working on two main projects – the historic preservation of a hotel in Superior and new construction of a community center and offices for the Phoenix Revitalization Corporation.

What’s interesting about both projects is that while their designs are vastly different – one historic and the other Arizona Contractor & Community

contemporary, one privately financed and the second with a non-profit organization – both will significantly impact the future revitalization of their communities.

Superior is a cinematic town on the edge of the desert leading up into the mountains of the Mogollon Rim. It sits as the base of Picketpost Mountain with Main Street leading into the base of the mountain. Historically, the town has been reliant upon the mining industry. The town suffered with the closing of the Magma Mine in 1987. Today, however, they are perfectly placed to become a destination get-away from the big city. Only an hour and a half east of Phoenix, the town rests in the beauty of the desert with easy access to mountain climbing, a nature conservancy and a charming downtown that just needs a nudge to become a vibrant and walk-able shopping destination. The hotel will be sensitive to the existing structures’ historic character. The first structure, built in 1912, was one of the first concrete buildings constructed in the state. The second, built in 1928, is a brick structure and reflects the town’s growing economy due to extensive copper mining at that time – finding opportunity in the texture of Superior’s history to thrust the town towards its future. Many strongly believe that reopening the Magma Hotel, located on a prominent corner on Superior’s Main Street, will be the first step in reintroducing excitement and life back to a town that has for too long been overly dependent upon mining for its economic stability.

The story for the Phoenix Revitalization Corporation (PRC) Community Center and Offices is also one of revitalizing communities. I am working with the PRC, a non-profit focused on revitalizing the Central City South neighborhood south of downtown Phoenix. Vacant lots and deteriorating homes pervade the neighborhood. The new project will turn a lot previously owned by APS and sitting vacant since the 60s into a new community asset and resource. The project will not only house the offices of the PRC, but will include a small retail space for a coffee shop, a community center, and incubator offices.

By creating flexible workspaces for local small businesses, the PRC hopes to instigate local economic development that creates a feed-back loop of increased economic development within the community.

Taz: What are some ways you give back to the community as an architect and is this an important part of your practice?

Christina: Contributing to the community and working to make Phoenix a better place to live, for everyone, is central to my practice. I feel incredibly fortunate to be working with the Phoenix Revitalization Corporation – their energy and drive to make a difference in the Central City South neighborhood is both infectious and necessary. I have been talking with them as well as another non-profit located in South Phoenix about how we can find opportunities to insert creative development Twenty one

into communities with an over abundance of vacant property.

Right now I’m working with the PRC on a small park and community garden that will turn a vacant church property into an active community gathering space. I am working to find additional land owners open to the possibility of inserting temporary installations – perhaps a small grocery and coffee shop, built from a recycled steel shipping container, that sells organic produce raised in a community garden also on the property. We could also imagine a series of pop-up art galleries that extend First Fridays further south, paired with artists’ live-work spaces and incubator offices for local small business start-ups. Through these projects we can create the much needed “third places” necessary for community development on previously empty land while also offering small businesses low rent and a creative and supportive environment helpful for getting started. What’s also exciting is that we can encourage small businesses that can also potentially aid larger social issues such as providing healthy food choices to a neighborhood with limited access to fresh produce.

Integral to these projects is that they’re low-cost, nimble solutions that allow a community to build momentum in preparation for the market’s return when developers will be more willing to make permanent investments. At the same time, the goal is not to just create a market for outside investors to make a profit on impoverished communities, but to find creative solutions that pull the local community into the economic development process and offer them equal opportunities to expand and grow with the future of our city.

Taz: What advice can you give to other up and coming architects?

Christina: Be fearless. Reach for your passions. Have fun while doing it.

Sustainability Yuma: A Hot Spot for Solar Construction

Yuma would seem to be a natural location for generating solar energy.

Apparently, First Solar, a leading manufacturer of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and provider of solar solutions, agrees.

The firm is constructing a 290 megawatt (MW) solar project located on 2,400 acres of previously-disturbed farmland in eastern Yuma County near the communities of Dateland and Hyder. Called the Agua Caliente Project, it was started by NextLight Renewable Power, LLC., which First Solar acquired on July 12, 2010. On August 5, 2011, NRG Energy acquired the Agua Caliente project. First Solar will continue to build, operate, and maintain the project. When fully operational, the project will generate enough clean solar energy to serve the needs of about 100,000 average homes per year, displacing approximately 220,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually—the equivalent of taking about 40,000 cars off the road.

Pacific Gas & Electric Company has contracted to purchase the project’s output for 25 years. Transmission access will be provided by the existing Hassayampa-North Gila 500 kilo-volt transmission line adjacent to the site. A new regional switchyard proposed by the transmission owners will be constructed on the site and be in service by early 2012. The project has secured all necessary permits to commence construction, including a certificate of environmental compatibility from the Arizona Corporation Commission and a conditional use permit from Yuma County.

First Solar is committed to being a good neighbor through our community involvement and through the environmentally sensitive design of our solar projects. The Agua Caliente Solar Project will generate state and local tax revenues, provide wages from approximately 400 construction jobs and about 16 ongoing monitoring and operations positions, and create benefits for many local businesses. When in operation, our systems like the Agua Caliente Project will generate electricity without any water use, air emissions, waste production, and will have the smallest carbon footprint of any PV technology. Mounted to metal racks, the panels also have minimal visual impacts since they stand no higher than six feet above ground.

The Agua Caliente site was carefully chosen after an extensive environmental review that included the availability of land near existing electrical transmission lines, the amount of sunlight, and current land use. Construction planning for the project included the implementation of appropriate dust control measures, as well as truck routes that minimize traffic.

Q&A

Mike Sommers of L.R. Contreras

An interview with Mike Sommers, the superintendent in charge of field operations for the Arizona concrete firm, L.R. Contreras.

William: Mike, thanks for chatting with Arizona Contractor & Community magazine. Tell me a little bit about your background and why you pursued a career in construction?

Mike: I was born at Good Samaritan on Oct. 26, 1946. I was in the Construction Battalion (Seabees) and left the service at age 23.

William: What was the year you started with L.R.?

Mike: I started with Contreras on Dec. 13, 1968 on a three year apprenticeship out of the Union. The Foreman I worked under at the time was Manual “Tuffy” Ortega. After two years, I was made a foreman in 1970 by the late Lorenzo Contreras.

William: What year was L.R. est. and by whom?

Mike: After a move from Texas, Lorenzo Contreras started operations in Arizona in 1946, building grain-silos and house floors. Not very long after pouring floors in downtown Mesa, Contreras made the transition to curb and gutter work.

William: Was L.R. always based out of Mesa?

Mike: Original office was in Apache Junction in the back of a bar that Lorenzo owned called the Oasis.

William: What was the size of employment at the start?

Mike: Just a handful. Contreras never hired more than his work load.

Top: Contreras pouring 12,000 ft of sidewalk & 8,000 ft of curb & gutter for Gunnison Contractors. Photo was taken in 1969 along 59th ave and Glendale.

Above: Freddie Maya, left, foreman, and L.R. Contreras, Jr., superintendent pouring curb & gutter. 1965 Twenty four

William: What year did they purchase their first curb machine?

Mike: 1973. It was an Easi-Pour from Huron, South Dakota.

Before that, all concrete was hand poured. Everything from entire subdivisions, trailer parks, etc. was formed, poured, and finished manually. Most of our jobs back in the late 1960’s,

Arizona Contractor & Community

early 1970’s were in Mesa. The Construction standards for Mesa were just the opposite of now days, where the sidewalk was cast first, then the curb and gutter last.

William: What’s the key to L.R’s longevity?

Mike: Two things: a solid reputation and quality of work.

Lorenzo established such a great name over the years, that they do all of Robson Resort Community’s work. They also did all of Beazer's work, and past companies like Knoell Homes.

William: How involved has L.R. been in the community?

Mike: For many years, L.R. has sponsored The Arizona Boys Ranch.

William: Any particular jobs you completed that stand out?

Mike: In addition to the hundreds of miles of curb and gutter work, we also poured all the sidewalks with a pull behind “boat” at Arizona Golf Resort, all 18 holes and 2 courses in Sun City West. We also spent a year and a half completing all the concrete exposed aggregate work at the Phoenician. And all the concrete work at the Arizona Proving Grounds for Chevrolet in Mesa.

William: What strategies have contributed to L.R.’s success?

Mike: Contreras from the beginning always stayed modest even at construction’s biggest boom, never leasing a single piece of equipment and always buying only what they needed outright. With quality and very hard work from their crews, Contreras has managed to stay fluent in the construction industry for more than 65 years. The original owner Lorenzo Contreras Sr. passed away at age 62. Contreras is currently running 5 crews headed by, Danny Ortega, Jesus Valdez, Wakeen Garcia, Francisco Melena, and John Begay.

William: What do you enjoy doing on your off hours?

Mike: I like to build V-drive, flat-bottom boats for water skiing.

Top: Danny Ortega finishes a strip of sidewalk at Julian Elementary for McCarthy.

Middle: Curb machine laying 12" vertical curb at the A.P.S. Emergency Operations Center, on Verrado Way south of the I-10.

In the 18

th

century the king of the ocean was the frigate with its 40 cannons and three masts. These ships were employed by the world’s superpowers to escort troop transports and cargo vessels across the Atlantic, protecting trade and the development of the new world. But though these ships dominated all other ocean going vessels with their power and reliability, they were still completely dependent on the movement of the wind.

It happened from time to time that the wind would stall, leaving the ship completely adrift on the slow moving undercurrents of a placid sea. This usually occurred in what are known as the Horse Latitudes and the condition could last hours or days or even weeks: the longer the stall the greater the test of the crew’s fortitude and resolve. These sailors would watch as their provision stores dwindled and their water barrels dried up. After a month adrift under a scorching sun and motionless sky even the saltiest and most experienced sailor would be reduced to despair, breathing prayers of both pleas and curses across dry cracked lips.

Then one day, a gentle breeze would lift the sagging silk flags, pulling them perpendicular to the mast, and the captain would shout, “Make ready the sails!”

Has the wind returned to our own Arizona construction market? If so, how does a good captain make ready the sails? There are three flags now lifting which indicate an answer to the first question.

I was recently in the market to buy another house and I found the atmosphere very different from a year ago. The surplus of homes was gone and there was a sense of urgency in the attitudes of buyers and realtors. This change of environment resulted in multiple offers on houses which in turn pressed purchase prices higher.

Where did these buyers find the money to put into real estate? They are employed! When the economy stalled in 2007 most employers cut costs through layoffs resulting in record breaking unemployment and productivity. Those gains in productivity leveled off a while ago and the weary band of workers left to hold the line are now

welcoming the addition of fresh labor and a return to healthier and more sustainable workloads.

These workers, along with corporations and governments, have also decreased their debt burden. This means that they are pumping less money into the ledger books of banks and more into the pockets of employers and employees.

Banks have also had to lower the rent rates for the money that they lend which has freed up capital energy to supply movement to the financial air.

So with three flags up the captains of industry will need to decide if now is the time to activate their resources and raise their sails. If they do, how should one make their sails ready?

There are four questions that must be answered: Ÿ Is my sail strong enough to catch the wind?

(Systems) Ÿ Am I hauling the right cargo? (Products and Services) Ÿ Do I have the right crew to take advantage of this change of environment? (Human Resources) Ÿ Have I updated my sailing map? (Planning and Goal Setting) Thinking through these questions will help ensure a profitable voyage. Failing to address them can have catastrophic results. Experienced captains know that not having enough stores to weather a Horse Latitude stall will result in a slow withering demise, and not being prepared for a hard driving wind will result in a short violent one.

Engineer’s Section

The Arizona Association of County Engineers (AACE) is the state affiliate of the National Association of County Engineers (NACE). Its membership is a partnership of Public and Private sector elements working to advance Public Works engineering and management. This is achieved by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and information aimed at improving the County Engineering profession, and County Engineering services to the public.

MISSION: AACE is recognized for our effective, innovative approach to providing timely technical support to elected decision-makers, the membership and the citizens we serve.

VISION: To provide a forum for the open exchange of information in a cooperative atmosphere that promotes the profession and to take calculated risks that furthers the public health, safety and welfare.

AACE is a professional association in its Twenty-seventh year. The organization started with a handful of members.

Some of the founding members were Bob Esterbrooks and Bill Harrington, both former Maricopa County Engineers.

One of the challenges of recent years has been to keep funding initially intended for county highway construction and maintenance. Some of these funds are being diverted by the legislature to other uses in an effort to balance their budget. In the past, AACE has prepared a needs study and presented it and testimony to prevent this diversion.

Each year the Chapter hosts a Western Regional Conference in Laughlin, NV. The region includes: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington. Here are some photos of the boat trip taken on the famous Colorado River that separates Bullhead City, AZ and Laughlin, NV.

Message from 2012 Chapter President:

we welcome new members to bring fresh ideas and connections so the County Engineers can partner with them to better serve the public in our Arizona Counties.

Please visit our website at www.azace.org for more information and don’t hesitate to contact me with questions.
