Dear Advertiser: Thank you for your interest in Construction Equipment Guide (CEG).

CEG was founded in 1958 with the Northeast Edition because I realized that there was a shortage of used heavy construction equipment and that it was almost impossible to find. Recognizing that a regional publication would be a tremendous resource for both buyers and sellers, I published our first paper on May 29, 1958.

In an open letter to subscribers, published in the first issue, I described the mission of the paper: “The idea is to reach the five state market of 10,000 prime buyer prospects for the used equipment and supplies that you have for sale... We have one and only one purpose - to sell your used equipment.”

Fifty Three years and thousands of editions later, the purpose of CEG has greatly expanded. The paper has evolved from a simple listing of equipment to a sophisticated publication with in-depth coverage of industry news, including new equipment applications, major construction projects, personality profiles, job stories and legislation affecting the industry.

The coverage area of the Northeast Edition has increased from the original five-state area of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland to include all of New England and West Virginia. Circulation has grown to more than 24,000.

In 1988, our Southeast Edition was established to serve the dynamic Southeast and Caribbean markets. First published on November 30, 1988, today it has a circulation of more than 22,000 in ten states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Again, in 1994, CEG expanded. As the premier regional publication in the East, it was a logical extension to begin a Midwest Edition. The Midwest Edition, which circulates throughout the 13 state Midwest region, is currently delivered to more than 24,000 qualified buyers and sellers.

In 2005, CEG extended the existing Southwest Edition, which began publishing in 1999, to encompass the Pacific Northwest, and redubbed it the Western Edition, which now covers Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska and Hawaii with a total circulation of more than 23,000.

In May 2007, CEG purchased “Contractors Equipment Guide” based in Needham Heights, Mass., and converted the former all-advertising periodical into a traditional editorial/advertising newspaper. Now called the “New England State Supplement,” it is mailed to all New England subscribers to the Northeast Edition, 26 times a year.

The four editions of CEG have a combined circulation of approximately 95,000, 85 percent of whom own heavy equipment and use industry products and services. Each edition is published biweekly, 26 times a year. Unlike some other publications in the industry, CEG does not cycle its circulation. Every edition reaches the full circulation 26 times a year.

We also publish 12 special sections throughout the year featuring different types of construction equipment. The publication is filled with industry-related feature reports, along with nationally syndicated columnists and timely news stories. In addition, we publish state and regional editions that report on local construction developments in Florida and Puerto Rico, Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, Virginia, Ohio and California.

Your advertising can be scheduled in any one edition, or in any combination of the four. You will find our advertising rates very competitive.

Please review the contained information and consider joining our ever-increasing list of satisfied advertisers, some of whom have not missed an issue in more than 52 years. We look forward to working with you to develop a customized marketing program that best serves your needs.

Sincerely,

Edwin M. McKeon Publisher 2

Work on upgrading of the busy intersections of Routes 49 and 55 and at Route 49 and Wade Boulevard in Millville City, Cumberland County, N.J., has begun.

Overseen by the New Jersey Department of Transportion (NJDOT), the project carries a federally funded price tag of $10 million and a scheduled completion date in the fall of 2011.

“We will lengthen the ramp from Route 55 southbound to Route 49 and provide additional lanes along Route 55 southbound. The ramp will provide one right-turn lane for Route 49 westbound traffic and one left-turn lane for Route 49 eastbound traffic,” explained Tim Greeley, press officer of the NJ DOT Office of Communications “As part of the project, the existing shoulders along Route 49 will be widened and reconstructed and all ramps at the interchange will be resurfaced along with new curbing, sidewalk, and lighting and drainage system improvements and two detention basins for water quality and treatment,” he went on. “Safety improvements will also include widening along Route 49 to see UPGRADE page 26

Buccaneer State Park: Coming Alive Again

By Lori Lovely

CEG CORRESPONDENT

Thompson n Holds s Waste Equipmentt Demo o Day…8

Nestled by the beach near Waveland, Miss., Buccaneer State Park has provided a picturesque backdrop for nature lovers, campers, pirates and soldiers since the 1700s, when Jean Lafitte inhabited the old Pirate House located a short distance from what is now parkland. Named for the pirates, such as the French buccaneer Lafitte and his followers, who were active in smuggling and pirating along the coast and used the area as a haven, the site was graced with large moss-draped live oaks, pine trees and marshlands in a scenic idyll along the Gulf of Mexico.

Known for a time as Jackson’s Ridge, the area also was used as a base of military operations by Andrew Jackson during the battle of New Orleans. Jackson returned to this area and built a house on land that is now part of the park.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Gov. Bobby Jindal cut $9.4 million in projects that lawmakers added to the state’s annual construction budget bill, with a series of line-item vetoes July 2.

Among the eight items scrapped by Jindal were a drainage project in Jefferson Parish, a courthouse annex in Webster Parish, a sidewalk improvement in Pineville, wastewater collection improvements in Sibley and a restoration project at the Southern Forest Heritage Museum.

Several of the projects removed by the governor are in or near the districts of lawmakers who fought the Jindal administration on various issues during the recently ended legislative session.

Alabama 1900

That mirrors his action on another state budget bill, in which the governor’s vetoes heavily hit earmarks from lawmakers who crossed his administration this session.

Also stripped from the construction budget was $5 million for planning and study of a proposed interstate loop around the Baton Rouge area. The project had divided the regional delegation and prompted angry debate during the session.

In his veto message for the loop, Jindal cited the lack of agreement from local lawmakers.

“Without the consensus of the public and the legislative delegation, the success of the project is in question. It would therefore be premature to fund the planning of such a large and contro-

The construction industry is moving ahead, albeit painfully, through a slow recovery from the Great Recession, according to leading economists, whose observations and suggestions offer insights for the Obama Administration, Congress, and contractors.

The mid-year outlook for construction for the last six months of 2010 includes both hopeful and worrisome signals.

Gritting their teeth in the face of discouraging reports for May, industry sources voice basic optimism about a stronger recovery in construction and the general economy. Their responses in interviews by Construction Equipment Guide (CEG) include a prediction that single family housing starts — an important leading indicator for the national economy — will rebound to an annualized rate of 580,000 this year and then almost double in 2011.

The economists laud federal stimulus funding for having averted what one said “could have been a real disaster” in the

The Missouri Dept. of Transportation cut the ribbon last month on the first milestone in the construction of a new $670 million Mississippi River Bridge at St. Louis. The Madison Avenue Bridge across I-70 came in ahead of schedule and under budget, officials said. Fred Weber Inc., of Maryland Heights, Mo., is the contractor.

But while celebrating the completion of the first of 31 projects that make up the overall river bridge project, MoDOT officials expressed concern over delays caused by the see BRIDGE page 24

Fostering long-term economic growth and creating American jobs should be the top priorities in the passage of a new, multiyear federal highway and transit investment bill, Caterpillar Inc., Worldwide Product Manager Larry Tate told attendees at a July 14 hearing called by U.S. Department of Transportation to discuss the overdue legislation.

In a panel session “Transportation: Making the Case to the American Public,” the 2010 American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) chairman said it was time to level with the public about the scope of the transportation challenges facing the nation and how much time and money it will take to address

them. He outlined a series of transportation-related “truths” during his remarks.

“First and foremost, the nation’s future economic growth, which makes possible our quality of life, is heavily dependent on the state of our transportation infrastructure network,” Tate said. ”If, in the future, we invest in making our network more efficient in moving people — and particularly goods — by adding capacity across all modes, we will be competitive internationally and able to create and sustain American job growth. If we make the wrong choices, we won’t.”

Another truth, according to Tate, is that by 2050, the American population will see BILL page 22

MINOT, N.D. (AP) Initiated 20 years ago as a way to provide seed money to new or expanding companies, Minot’s MAGIC Fund has shifted more of its resources in recent years into creating an industrial complex.

The fund has spent $8.2 million — about 27 percent of its distributions — in 20 years on land and business development in agricultural and energy parks and on the creation of an intermodal transportation facility, all in east Minot. The MAGIC Fund set aside another $500,000 for the 55th Street overpass in the area. About $1.1 million has come back to the fund through repayments on the projects.

“Part of the mission of the MAGIC Fund, among other things, is infrastructure,” said Jim Maxson, chairman of Minot Area Development Corp (MADC). “I think the community of Minot can be very proud of the energy park. It’s not unsightly. It’s in an area which is properly zoned. It has access to rail.”

The benefit of the energy park has been apparent with the first phase of the development, said Jerry Chavez, MADC president. The first company to move into the park, Pure Energy, invested $60 million in capital improvements, he said. Pumpco Energy Services and Magnum Transportation invested additional dollars in their new facilities.

The MAGIC Fund awarded about $1.7 million to build out the second phase of the Great Plains Energy Park. The money will pay for sewer and water lines, pavement, curb, gutter and street lights.

“It’s more a temporary loan with no interest,” said Chavez, who noted the money is to eventually be repaid.

MADC invested $320,000 of its own money into buying the energy park land back before anyone was thinking about how oil development might someday affect Minot. Chavez said MADC was looking at the potential for advancing future development rather than gaining a return on its investment. Returning the MAGIC Fund’s money is more of a priority.

The creation of the energy park promotes economic development by removing much of the risk for companies looking at locating in a new community, Chavez

Running parallel and just north of the U.S. and Mexico border in San Equipped with a 10 cu. yd. (7.6 cu m) bucket, a Cat hydraulic Diego County, SR 905 serves as the primary route to the Otay Mesa Port excavator rests at the SR-905 job site. of Entry (POE), The port, built in 1985, is the largest commercial crossing in the California/Mexico border region.

Since the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was enacted in 1993 the annual volume of trucks at Otay Mesa has increased more than 45 percent. In 1994 the federal government moved all south bound commercial cargo from the crowded San Ysidro port over to Otay Mesa.

This continued growth in trade between Baja California and the United States has resulted in significant congestion issues at the Otay Mesa POE and along SR 905.

In a move to reduce this congestion, a freeway expansion and interchange project currently is being addressed along segments of SR 905.

Eventually the project will transform SR 905 into a six-lane, 6 mi. (9.6 km) freeway spanning Interstate 805 to the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. In addition, a freeway-to-freeway interchange will be provided at SR 125, several SR 905/I-805 freeway connectors will be widened, and an auxiliary lane along northbound I 805 will be expanded.

Phase 1 of the project, which was split into two parts due to escalated costs, is currently under way and involves constructing six travel lanes —

In a stumbling economy that has construction companies struggling to keep crews in the field and estimators busy in the office, the fortunes of subcontractors are especially subpar. The numbers tell the story.

Gary Zimmerman, senior economist of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, spoke to American Subcontractors Association (ASA) members in March at ASA’s San Diego convention. According to Zimmerman, the construction industry see SUBS page 28

Subcontractors Fight High-Speed Rail’s Future for Jobs, Survival in Colorado to Be Explored DENVER (AP) A new report said high-speed rail is feasible in Colorado and suggested further study of two routes, one linking Denver and three other Front Range cities, and the other linking the Denver airport with ski areas to the west.

The 18-month study for the Rocky Mountain Rail Authority estimated the total cost of the system at $21.1 billion if it were built today. The

California 5891

study said the system could be operated without public subsidies.

However construction would likely be funded through a mix of public and private money, said Harry Dale of the rail authority.

“That is the single biggest challenge in all of this is to come up with the capital to build the system,” Dale said.

Dale said benefits including less see RAIL page 32

After doing a lot of research, Kenny found that the Ultra trommel, manufactured by Ultra Plant

International, offered the very flexibility his Gerry Kenny has worked with materials smaller customers said they needed. processing equipment almost his entire adult life.

A gregarious Irishman, he has worked with screens and conveyors in Europe and Africa and since coming over to America more than 25 years ago, he has operated one of the most successful equipment dealerships in the Southeast.

So it is not surprising that Kenny knows a few things about how to make friends with his customers and keep them happy.

Through his company, Sand Science Inc. in Beaufort, S.C., Kenny has built a reputation among construction professionals as a very knowledgeable, reliable and personable dealer of high-quality equipment.

Sand Science is marking 25 years in business in 2010 largely due to the fact that Kenny offers service that is one-on-one and family-oriented — not the rather impersonal brand of service favored by some companies. Kenny believes his approach leads to satisfied customers and by extension, more sales.

“We may be a smaller company than a lot of dealerships, but we are very attentive to our customers,” Kenny explained. “Because we are smaller, though, we have flexibility and we have proven that by our longevity.

The fact is we can move in a certain direction when we see our customers have a need, whereas bigger dealerships don’t have the things to say about us,” he said. “If some“What I started to see was a need for a needed. ability to do that.”

Riverbend District, which will feature approximately 2,000 for sale or rental residential units, two hotels with a total of 550 rooms, 800,000 sq. ft. of retail, which will include large format retailers, cinema, arts, and entertainment tenants, and a wellness center and health club, as well as multiple restaurants and cafes. In addition, the project will include 1.5 million sq. ft. of corporate and boutique office space.

Sizable growth in new construction of single-family homes and a high level of construction of roads and bridges are positive expectations for 2010 as the industry and the nation hope for a stronger economic recovery from high unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcies and other continuing myriad problems.

Economists interviewed by Construction Equipment Guide (CEG) are anything but sanguine but they see rays of light amid the encircling gloom. “We expect about 610,000 single-family housing starts in 2010, compared with about 443,000 starts in 2009,� said Bernard Markstein, vice president, economic analysis and forecasting of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in Washington, D.C. “We will see definite improvement in the first and third quarters and then again by year-end. I predict a slow recovery back to normalcy, which is 1.5million starts per year, over the next 10 years.�

Work Begins to Replace Ohio’s Tallest, But Aging, Bridge

By Matt Leingang

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Construction began July 12 on an $88 million project to replace the tallest bridge in Ohio, an aging structure similar in design to the one that collapsed in Minnesota in 2007.

The Jeremiah Morrow Bridge on Interstate 71 near Lebanon in southwest Ohio is considered safe but has enough structural deterioration that it can no longer handle heavy loads. Oversize trucks carrying more than 120,000 lbs. (54,431 kg), such as military or farm equipment, are pro-

hibited.

Ohio began developing plans to replace the bridge around the time the Interstate 35W bridge collapsed in Minneapolis, killing 13 people and injuring 145. The project is now on a fast track as the structure reaches the end of its 50-year life span, said Stefan Spinosa, an engineer with the Ohio Department of Transportation.

The bridge is actually a set of twin two-lane spans supported by a steel truss underneath the deck. It opened for traffic in 1965, running a length of 2,224 ft. (678 m) — about half a mile — and rising 240 ft. (73 m) over the Little Miami River. It carries about 60,000 vehicles a day, serving as a

major freight corridor between Columbus and Cincinnati.

But repairs are becoming more frequent, and a recent inspection revealed that 80 gusset plates, which hold beams together, need to be stiffened before allowing overweight trucks to use the bridge again.

The National Transportation Safety Board blamed the Minneapolis bridge collapse on an undersize gusset plate, a flaw in its original design from the 1960s. Board members also criticized Minnesota officials for allowing 287 tons (260 t) of construction materials to be stockpiled on the bridge’s center on the day of the collapse.

Ten Survival Strategies for a Tough Economy

By Thomas Houck SPECIAL TO CEG

Jim is a small business owner who’s been watching the economy evaporate in front of his eyes. Stress isn’t the word to explain how he feels. With his wife staying at home to raise their youngest child, his business bears the entire financial burden of funding their mortgage and lifestyle. If the slowdown continues, not only will his nightly tossing and turning get worse,

but he may also have a full-blown nervous breakdown.

Jim is fortunate to have a neighbor, Ken, who helps small business owners lead better lives by running better businesses. Since his business had gone so well for the past 10 years, Jim never felt he needed a consultant. Until now. His gracious neighbor Ken offered Jim two hours of his time gratis to share the “Top 10 Survival Tactics in a Tough Economy�:

• Cash flow is king As a small business owner, you must know how your cash flows. This isn’t fancy accounting; it’s simply tracking how cash comes in versus how it goes out. Take two hours, and use your QuickBooks or check register to get a grasp of this monetary movement. see SURVIVAL page 30
