Confusion With Construction Rule

OMB Hit With Questions

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

Surrounding Build America, Buy America Act

WhiletheconstructionindustryawaitstheBiden administration’sfinalwordingofitsBuildAmerica, Buy America Act (BABA), contractors can study up on application of the rule. Meant to bolster the economy through the required use of domestically sourced construction materials, the rule is considered contradictory at best and confusing at worst.

The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a Proposed Rule earlier this year regarding the implementation of BABA.

see RULE page 84

While IIJA earmarked more than $1.2 trillion for infrastructure projects, BABA imposed restrictions to all federally-funded infrastructure projects, regardless of whether they are funded by IIJA.

Safety Tips to Protect Construction Workers in Summer Heat

Summer is a great time for construction work, but a brutal time for construction workers.

Excessive heat and sun exposure pose significant dangers, such as sunburn, dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Every year, construction workers become ill on the job and some even lose their lives due to heat exposure.

To protect its workers from the extreme summer heat, Western Specialty Contractors manages a heat illness training program and a safety hotline for its employees.

As part of the program, training is provided to all employees and supervisors who work in high temperatures. Training topics include: how heat can affect the body, how to identify the signs and symptoms of various heat-related illnesses, and what to do if a co-worker is experiencing symptoms of a heat-related illness. Western also regulates the hotter environment by providing water and shade to workers and by having supervisors and safety managers monitor the heat index so that the proper protective measures can be taken.

“Itisimportantparticularlyduringthesummer months that outdoor workers drink plenty of fluids to help prevent dehydration, which is the primary cause of heat cramps and heat exhaustion,” said Cameron Samuel, assistant safety director at Western Specialty Contractors.

Samuel, who has training and experience managing the health and safety of outdoor workers, offers the following tips for preventing heatrelated illnesses on a construction job site:

It is important particularly during the summer months that outdoor workers drink plenty of fluids to help prevent dehydration, which is the primary cause of heat cramps and heat exhaustion, said Cameron Samuel, assistant safety director at Western Specialty Contractors.

ï Drink water frequently and drink enough water that you never become thirsty. Drink water or other non-caffeinated, electrolytic beverages and make sure that your drinks are always cool, not room temperature. Adding a lemon slice to

water can make plain water more drinkable.

ï Wear light-colored, loose-fitting, breathable clothing made from natural materials such as cotton. Avoid wearing non-breathing synthetic clothing. Wear safety glasses with UV protection, sunscreen and brimmed hard hats.

ï Gradually build up to heavy work. If possible, do the hardest work during the coolest time of the day. Workers who are suddenly exposed to working in a hot environment face additional hazards to their health and safety. New workers and those returning from time away need to be extra careful in making sure they stay hydrated.

ïTakemorebreaksinextremeheatandhumidity.Move to the shade or a cool area such as an air-conditioned building or car when possible but try not to go in and out of air conditioning too much as it will make it harder for you to adjust to the heat. Use cooling fans whenever possible.

ï Select your lunch carefully. Junk food is high in fat and preservatives and will put a high caloric load on the digestive system. Try eating a bigger breakfast, so you’re notashungryatlunch.Eatlightlunchesthatincludefruits, vegetables and salads.

ï Keep an eye on your co-workers and be alert for signs of heat exhaustion. Early symptoms include lethargy, disorientation, stumbling, dropping tools, slurred speech or unresponsiveness. Heat stroke is a medical emergency requiring a 911 call and immediate cooling.

ï Check your urine frequency and color throughout the day. Water intake is adequate when urine is clear or light yellow. When the desire to urinate is less than twice per day and/or you are producing a dark yellow urine, you may be dehydrated.

By training employees on the early signs of heat exhaustion, taking the proper precautions, and employing tipsliketheoneslistedabove,outdoorworkerscangreatly reduce the risk of heat-related dangers.

SafeGuard Works to Protect Employees During Heatwaves

During the recent summer heat wave, Sentinel’s SafeGuard technology has been deployed to several organizations for proactive heat stress monitoring.

Users of SafeGuard require a wearable sensor to be paired with their smartphone, which then leverages validated physiological and environmental algorithms to compute actionable insights and alerts to workers and their “Guardians.” Such insights and alerts can include notice of dangerous estimated core body temperatures and levels of exertion, in addition to the automated calculation of work-to-rest ratios.

In an attempt to streamline deployment, Sentinel has been working with leading brands to offer cost-effective solutions for outdoor laborers exposed to high temperatures and heat. Sensor brands supported by SafeGuard include Apple, Samsung, Garmin, Polar, Kestrel, GreenTeg, RKI

Instruments and Thermofisher Scientific, among others.

Sentinel’s SafeGuard has built on a foundationofmorethansixyearsandmorethan

$10 million of investment and collaboration from private and public entities, such as the DOD, DHS, DOI and private industry.

SafeGuard, often described as an intelligent guardian by its users, leverages intelligent guardian technology and commercial wearable sensors — such as fitness trackers — to provide real-time health and safety oversight of individuals in risk-laden environments.

SafeGuard’s intelligent alerting and intuitive data presentation provide both workers and health and safety leaders with comprehensive, personalized and predictive protection. Sentinel has been working with both commercial and defense organizations to achieve its mission, which is to protect and enrich the lives of those at risk through intelligent guardian technology.

SafeGuard’s technology was recently featured by the Dallas Morning News and NBC’s Today Show as part of an ongoing pilot with Rogers-O’Brien across three construction projects. 

Iowa DOTInvests Record $1.47B for StateRoadProjects

Warm weather means construction season and Iowans may wonder what all those orange cones mean for the state of Iowa. The fiscal year ending June 30 signaled a record level of investment in roads and bridges based on projects awarded through the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT).

Since July 1, 2022, more than $1.47 billion across 839 projects was awarded to contractors through the Iowa DOT to improve mobility for Iowans and others who travel throughout the state and to increase the safety of roads and bridges at the city, county and state levels.

Fiscal year 2023 investments awarded through the Iowa DOT include:

Komatsu Donates $250,000 to AED Foundation’s Vision 2025 Initiative

The current skills gap and workforce shortage issues facing OEMs and equipment distributors are daunting. To addresstheseproblems,theAEDFoundationcreatedVision 2025, a project aimed at helping to increase the number of qualified technicians entering the equipment distribution industry.

Komatsu has contributed $250,000 toward this initiative.

“We recognize the imperative to build a talent pipeline for our distributors and the heavy equipment industry at large,” said Komatsu’s Rod Bull, executive vice president, NorthAmerica Region.

“Komatsu supports Vision 2025 and its focus on helping schools promote careers in the technical field to young people, who often aren’t aware of the great family-supporting jobs available in this industry. We’re excited to do our part to share this story of opportunity to join an industry that keeps our world growing and sustains our way of life.”

Research by the AED Foundation has found that the industryneedstofillananticipated73,500heavyequipment technician positions over the next five years, and that the technician shortage is compounded by a gap in required skills and available training.

Vision 2025 aims to address these issues by growing the foundation’s impact to include a minimum of 120 accredited college programs (currently 71), and a minimum of 200 recognized high school programs (currently 36). If the project is successful, it has the potential to create a talent pipeline that includes an additional 10,000 skilled technicians entering the workforce, 5,000AED Foundation-certified technicians and 500 AED Foundation-certified managers.

With a fundraising goal of $10 million over the next five years, Vision 2025 funds will be directed toward:

ï New college accreditation programs targeting underserved areas where an existing heavy equipment/diesel technology program is already in place

ï High school recognition programs that will prioritize locations that can serve as a feeder system into current and anticipated accredited college programs

ïExpandingtheAEDFoundation’sendowmenttoensure Vision 2025 efforts are sustainable over the long term

“The AED Foundation is grateful for Komatsu’s leadership and investment in our Vision 2025 campaign,” said AED Foundation President Brian McGuire. “Komatsu’s support, in conjunction with nearly 75 other investors, brings our Vision 2025 campaign to over $6 million. These investments provide the Foundation the sustainability needed to continue to be the heavy equipment industry’s leader in workforce development.”

Including Komatsu’s donation, a total of $1.45 million has been pledged to the Vision 2025 campaign by Komatsu and its dealer network.Among dealers that have donated:

ï $26.8 million in the secondary system which provides smoother pavements and better roadway markings that help commuters have a safer commute

ï $136.8 million in urban roads and bridges which assure quick and efficient travel

“A safe and reliable transportation system enhances the quality of life for all Iowans and is essential for keeping our nation’s economy moving and getting products to market — especially at a time of record high inflation,” said Gov. Kim Reynolds.

“The need for investment in Iowa’s roadways grows. Trafficvolumeshavenowsurpassedpre-pandemiclevels.In addition, the cost to construct roads and bridges has continued to increase significantly over the last year,” said Iowa DOT Director Scott Marler. “I applaud the cities, counties and Iowa’s road and bridge contractors for their amazing work to strengthen our state’s economy and improve our transportation system.”

Significant investments in bridges have been made across all levels of government. Looking at DOT-owned bridges alone, over the last 17 years, the number of poor-condition bridges has dropped from 256 in 2006 to 26 in 2023.

While progress has been made in reducing the number of poor-condition bridges across Iowa, there are still many poor-condition bridges, especially on Iowa’s county road system. Iowa’s counties continue to invest and prioritize funds for bridge repair and replacement and to seek new opportunities for additional funding. In June, through a ninecounty cooperative application, a federal discretionary grant of almost $25 million was awarded to replace nine bridges.

Gov.Announces $380M in Grants for Minnesota Projects

Gov.TimWalzannouncedJuly11thatthe Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) will allocate $380 million to fund eight new infrastructure projects through the state’s Corridors of Commerce program.

“We’re making historic investments in our state’s transportation system to improve the safety and connectivity of communities across the state,” said Walz. “We depend on our roads and highways to safely get us to our jobs, education, child care and businesses. These projects help grow our economy and support our goal of making Minnesota thebeststatetolive,workandgrowupin— no matter where you live.”

The projects receiving funding in 2023 include:

ï TH 13 (Savage/Burnsville) — grade separations from Quentin to Nicollet Avenues: $96,000,000

ï I-94 (Albertville to Monticello) — lane

expansion: $78,000,000

ïTH 14/CSAH 44 (Byron) — construct a grade separation: $60,000,000

ï TH 371/TH 210 (Baxter) — construct a grade separation: $58,000,000

ï TH 23/MN 9 (New London) — construct a grade separation: $33,000,000

ï TH 65 (Blaine) — grade separations from 103rd to 117thAvenues: $30,000,000

ï TH 53 (Eveleth to Virginia) — roadway improvements: $18,000,000

ïTH10(CoonRapids)—laneexpansion from CSAH 78 to CSAH 9: $8,000,000

“We appreciate the work of our many local partners who submitted Corridors of Commerce funding proposals,” said MnDOT Commissioner Nancy Daubenberger. “While transportation funding needs are significant in communities across our state, MnDOT is grateful to the legislature for making historic infrastructure

investments this session and we’ll continue partnering with proposers to explore other funding options for projects that did not receive funding in this round of the Corridors of Commerce program.”

This is the fourth round of Corridors of Commerce funding provided by the MinnesotaLegislatureandincludesatotalof $403million,including$250millionauthorized by the Legislature in 2021 and $153 millionprovidedin2023.$22millionwillbe reserved for project readiness activities for potentialfutureCorridorsofCommercecandidate projects.

TheCorridorsofCommerceprogramwas created by the Minnesota Legislature in 2013 with a goal of focusing transportation investments on state highway projects that directly and indirectly foster economic growth for the state of Minnesota. The program is outside of MnDOT’s regular State

Road Construction program and Corridors of Commerce funding is dependent on legislativeappropriation.Theauthorizingstatute (161.088) also includes specific requirements for project eligibility and scoring.

In addition to this year’s Corridors of Commercefunding,theomnibustransportationbillincluded$6billionfortransportation and will allow MnDOT and its partners at theMetropolitanCouncilandlocalandtribal governments to make investments in the state’s multimodal transportation system. Combined with federal resources coming to Minnesota from the Infrastructure Investment and JobsAct, legislation enacted duringthe2023legislativesessionwillresult in transformational improvements that maximize the health of people, the environment and the economy.

Innovative Solutions forAdvancing Use of ‘Plastic’Roads

Millions of roads across the United States are constructed with asphalt pavement that’s deteriorating over time. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri are using recyclables, including plastic waste, as a sustainable solution to fix America's fracturing road system.

In partnership with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), researchers from the Mizzou Asphalt Pavement and Innovation Lab (MAPIL) recently created a real-world test road using recycled materials like scrap tires andplasticwastealongaportionof Interstate 155 in the Missouri Bootheel. By increasing the sustainability of asphalt mixes, this innovativemethodcanhelpreduce the number of items going into landfills or leaking into the environment, said Bill Buttlar, director of MAPIL.

“Missouri is the Show-Me state, so we take a very pragmatic view,” Buttlar said. “The science can be thorny and difficult, but we are up to the task. We’re excited that while our approach is complicated in the lab, its simple to execute in

the field, so it makes it easily adaptable, scalable and cost-effective to incorporate into many types of road environments.”

The I-155 project takes the group’s previous test road, installedalongastretchofStadium

Boulevard in Columbia, Mo., one step further. Instead of just testing four different types of recycled materials, the I-155 project will evaluate the real-world effectivenessofninedifferenttypesofrecycled materials in the creation of asphalt pavement. This includes three different types of polyethylene (PE) — a material commonly found in plastic grocery bags — and ground tire rubber, which is a newer way of disposing scrap tires.

“These projects afford us an opportunity to intentionally build the next generation of roads with these materials not as a type of linear landfill, but to also help the environment while making the value of dollars spent on transportation infrastructure like this stretchfartherintothefuture,”said Buttlar, who also is the Glen Barton chair of flexible pavements.

MU is on the leading-edge of

this type of work in the United States because its team has addressed most of the translational research questions like durability and safety that could prevent a generalcontractorordepartmentof transportation from adopting this ground-breaking strategy.

“Wedon’tjustliveinthelaboratory,” Buttlar said. “In the field of transportation material research, we need to see how all the various materials used to construct a road — the rock, the asphalt and the

recycledmaterials—behaveinthe realworldandgeltogethertobuild a road. Asphalt is liquified with heat, and when you put an additive in like a plastic or rubber material, you must get everything to bond together with good adhesion. But we’re only going to know if that happens successfully when we produce it on a full-scale level and then expose it to elements, such as different weather conditions and heavy traffic.”

Hamm HD+ Rollers Now ‘Digital Ready’

The HD+ series from Hamm is expanding by six new roller models for asphalt construction with operating weights of 7.7 and 8.8 tons: The HD+ 70 and HD+ 80 models meet the requirements of exhaust emissions category UN ECE R96 (EPA Tier III). Hamm fits the HD+ 70i and HD+ 80i (EPATierIV/EUStageV)modelswith the Easy Drive operating concept as standard.

Like all the other Tier IV4/Stage V machines of the HD+ series, they are “digital ready.” That means they have the necessary interfaces for use with digital applications.

New Models for Tier III Markets

ThenewHD+70andHD+80models have a 55.4 kW engine. These tandem rollers from Hamm are available as vibration, oscillation or combination rollers. They compact very economically and provide the same driving and handling characteristics as the heavier rollers in this series, according to the manufacturer.

Duetotheircompactproportions,all six models maneuver with ease even in tight construction sites.

Easy Drive Now for 7.7-, 8.8-Ton Class

The Easy Drive operating concept also is now available in the 7.7 and 8.8 tonclassoftheHD+series.Fromsummer 2023, it will be fitted as standard ontheHD+70iandHD+80i(EPATier IV/EU Stage V) models from Hamm. This means ergonomics and operator comfort have been elevated to a new level in these machines too.

‘Digital Ready’ In All Weight Classes

Hamm was quick to recognize the opportunities for digitalization to increase compaction quality. That’s why the manufacturer has provided the various series with the interfaces required to connect telematics systems and fleet management systems, as well as Smart Doc, the app for compaction control and compaction documentation.

In the HD+ series, all models with EPA Tier IV/EU Stage V-compliant with engines, i.e. including the HD+ 70iandHD+80i,willnowfeaturesuch interfaces.Thismeanstherearemodels with digital interfaces available in every weight class.

Smart Doc: Self-Monitoring, Quality Increase

The free Smart Doc app is just one additional feature available for the HD+ series. This uses Bluetooth to transmit the roller’s relevant operating data via an interface to a smartphone or tablet. The operator can see on the end devicehowthecompactionisprogressing in real time. In the process, the app links the machine data with the GNSS position.

TheSmartReceiver,whichisadjusted specifically to the system, provides precise location information. The Smart Doc app also uses the data to produce compaction reports in PDF format. This makes it suitable for selfmonitoring as well as for continuous compaction control (CCC).

From autumn 2023, Smart Doc also will be able to bundle together the data from every roller on a single construction site.

This means that every connected device on a con struction site will be able to

display the overall compaction achieved by the team.The construction management team also can follow the result in real time. This increases not only efficiency but also quality, the manufacturer said.

High Level of Efficiency, Availability Via Telematics

Thereisevenmorepotentialforefficiency in the form of the John Deere Operations Center for construction machines, the central platform for digital solutions fromWirtgen Group.The Operations Center can be used to manage entire construction sites — incorporating planning, monitoring, maintenance and analysis. This helps roller operators to perform maintenance and diagnostic tasks and provides targeted analyses of operating/user behavior. Routine maintenance ultimately increases the availability of the rollers. At the same time, this avoids unscheduled downtimes that are often associated with transport costs and organizational work.

New Chip Spreaders

With its new line spreaders and disc spreaders, Hamm presents practical solutions for spreading asphalt surface courses. The line spreaders create a uniformspreadingpattern,inwhichthe spreading width is set precisely and maintained. The spreading quantity is regulated depending on the working speed and is itself constant when driving more quickly or when tilting. All spreaders can be installed and dismantled easily using a quick coupling.

Hamm is bringing six new models to the market in the form of the 7.7 and 8.8 ton class HD+ 70 and HD+ 80. They compact to the highest technical standard.

Lab Staff Test Strength, Durability of Pavement Made From Plastic Materials

MAPIL specializes in a dry process, which allows the researchers to easily add the recyclables directly into the mixture before it’s applied to a road surface.

“The form, shape and size of the plastics bring different challenges in how the material flows, how it behaves and how it mixes,” said Punya Rath, an assistant research professor in the department of civil and environmental engineering who works at MAPIL.

“So, we did extensive small-scale testing for almost an entire year before we moved to a larger scale out in the field with contractors.”

One advantage of this process is that the researchers can test the mixtures in the field using a mobile research lab, which they developed and used for both the Stadium Boulevard and I-155 projects.

“IthelpstheMissouriDepartmentof Transportation immensely to have a mobile research lab on-site in the field that has the ability to rapidly test samples and provide results within 24 to 48 hours to better inform the process,” Rath said.

Citing environmental concerns, Buttlarsaidtheteammakessureeverything they do is within the current limits as established by the Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA).

“We are designing the material to be abletoholdorcapturetheenvironmental by-products at the highest percentage for the longest amount of time. It’s not going to be a 100 percent containment,” Buttlar said. “Everything built in a natural environment will degrade over time, so that’s why EPAhas standardsforeverything,andwemakesure wearesafelywithinthosestandards.” 

LeeBoy, an industry leader in commercial asphalt paving equipment, has introduced the 8608 asphalt paver.

Equipped with an efficient narrow conveyor management system, the machine is ideal for heavy commercial paving and large volume job sites, the manufacturer said.

“We saw a demand in the market for a narrow conveyor machine in this size for certain crews and applications,” Chris Broome, senior product manager at LeeBoy, said.

“We do offer a narrow conveyor on our larger 8616D machine and the 6150, but wanted to bring the narrow conveyor concept, coupled with high production, to a more compact paver.”

The LeeBoy 8608 is powered by a 125 hp Kubota Tier IV engine and 14.4 kW belt driven generator.With an operating width of up to 15 ft. 6 in., this versatile machine will be easy to maneuver in tight spaces.

Smooth Ride, Ease of Maintenance

Operator comfort is always in the forefront of each LeeBoy machine, but the new 8608asphaltpavertakesthattoanotherlevel with the addition of the Oscillating Bogie Style Track System.

“The tracks on this machine are set wider apart which gives contractors additional clearance to drive over utilities, but we also added the Oscillating Bogie Style Track System as a premium benefit to this new machine,” Broome said. “The oscillating

bogiesallowthetractortorideoveranobstacle more smoothly which not only benefits theoperator,buttheendproductaswell.The smoother the tractor, the smoother the operation of the screed which in turn improves mat quality.”

The demand in the market for a narrow conveyor machine in this class not only satisfies an industry need, but also drives efficiency in maintenance and operation. The machine also includes a lowered SCR, exhaust and flat hood for enhanced operator visibility and access.

Lake Clean Up Requires Multiple Contractors, Projects

but we actually started the planning years before, in 1995,” said Devona Marshall, NEORSD’s director of engineering and construction. “The sewer district was created in 1972, and with decades of infrastructure investments to managecombinedseweroverflow, such as construction of interceptor sewers, auto-regulators, weir modifications and a prior tunnel project, we were well-equipped to plan for the future.”

The focus of Project Clean Lake is construction of large-scale storage tunnels and treatment plant enhancements. A total of seven tunnels are being built, ranging from2to5mi.inlength,asdeepas 300 ft. underground and as much as 24 ft. in diameter, large enough to park a semi-truck.

A consent decree involving the EPA, Department of Justice, state of Ohio and the sewer district outlining the plan to reduce combined sewer overflows was initially approved by the sewer district board of trustees in December 2010. It became official approximately six months later.

Out of 82 planned projects involving multiple contractors and subcontractors, 72 are completed or active as of January 2023. Euclid Creek Tunnel, Dugway Storage Tunnel and Doan Valley Tunnel are already operational. Once the electrical substation for the Westerly Tunnel dewatering

pumpstationiscomplete,itwillgo online. Design for the Southerly Storage Tunnel began in 2021, with design starting for Big Creek Tunnel next year. Crews are currently mining the Shoreline Storage Tunnel.

“Every tunneling job creates uniquesituationsforthecontractor, and this is the first ‘soft ground’ tunnel for our program,” said Ryan Sullivan, construction supervisor of NEORSD. “The four previous tunnels were all excavated through Chagrin Shale, which is rock.

“The geology of this tunnel’s location dictates that the tunnel needed to be in the silts, clays and sands above the bedrock. While similar equipment and techniques are used for both, there are slight differences the contractor had to change for this tunnel.”

With most of the tunnel work taking place 150 ft. below ground, weather does not have a noticeable effect on the work or the crews; however, the process is extremely time-consuming.

“The tunneling itself takes the

most time,” said Sullivan. “The removal of 310,000 cubic yards –120 feet below ground and more than15,000feetinlength–doesn’t happen quickly.”

For the Shoreline Storage Tunnel, crews have been working at the main mining site for years. Withconstructionoffourdeeptunnels required to send flows to the Easterly Wastewater Treatment Plant, this site is where the Shoreline Storage Tunnel and DugwayStorageTunnelsintersect.

Prior to construction of the

Shoreline Storage Tunnel, all the deep tunnels have been single-pass tunnels, except for one leg of the Doan Valley Storage Tunnel. This means the tunnel is mined and lined using a single piece of equipment — a tunnel boring machine (TBM). For the Shoreline Storage Tunnel, workers are using a Herrenknecht S-1312 tunnel boring machine — 26-ft. Earth Pressure Balance TBM. Mining has just begun on this project, with crews still learning the ins and outs of the TBM.

Other equipment has included a H+E continuous conveyor; H+E vertical conveyor; Imperial radial stacking conveyor; Siemens grout plant; Delta cooling towers water cooling plant; Atlas Copco air compressors and backup generators (GA 160, GA 110, XATS1050); Reimers System Inc. hyperbaric medical lock and shuttle (7806D and 5406D); and a Spendrup 125 ventilation fan.

A Techni-Metal Systems multi service vehicle also has been on site, along with a Liebherr HS 885 HD 150-ton crane; a SANY SY500H 120,000-lb. excavator; a Cat 950 wheel loader; a SANY STH1256 telehandler; a Cat 259D skid steer; a Genie z45/25j manlift; aGeneracIndustrial500kWbackup generator; a Cat 320D 60,000lb. excavator; a Cat 308E 20,000lb. excavator; a Manitowoc 888 230-ton

crane; and a Liebherr LB

“To keep your equipment performing at peak levels, it is critical that maintenance is prioritized accordingly,” said Justin Steger, solutions marketing manager, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “While it is essential to understand howtooperateyourmachine,itisequally,ifnotmoreimportant, to understand how to maintain each machine to extend the lifespan of the equipment and improve its resale value. Sticking to the OEM maintenance schedule allows contractors to predict owning and operating costs more accurately and fix maintenance costs. Ignoring machine maintenance will increase the operating cost.”

It is imperative to have preventive maintenance schedules for backhoes to keep them well-maintained. When parts are checked regularly, issues can be identified and scheduled to be corrected before they result in unexpected repairs, downtime and costs.

Backhoe preventive maintenance can be based on many parameters, such as the calendar, runtime and predictive.

ï Calendar-based would include things on the “daily” or “weekly” checklist, Young, noted. Some of these items can be managed by an hours-based approach also. Like “daily or every 10 hours” and “weekly or every 50 hours.” Examples of this would include joint greasing, air filter checking, fluid level checks, tire pressure, water-in-fuel bowl drain, etc.

ïRuntime-basedmaintenanceusuallyismorethansimply checkinganddoingaquickjobifneeded,heexplained.This would include more involved service work like engine oil and filter change, transmission oil and filter change, fuel filter replacement and hydraulic system oil and filter change. It also includes oil sampling from critical components like the engine,transmissionsandhydraulicsystems.Runtime-based preventive maintenance should be followed as presented in the operator’s manual of the machine.

ï Predictive maintenance is all about sticking to an oil sampling routine with the backhoe’s. Do this as required to establish a trend on how parts within a major component are wearing.

Goodrecordkeepingandproperdocumentationareessential aspects of backhoe maintenance, a philosophy shared by each backhoe OEM.

Recordkeeping and documentation can help support warranty-related repairs; he pointed out. It also is very valuable when it comes time to sell or trade in a machine, as it adds

value.

Backhoe manufacturers recommend that maintenance personnel always refer to the backhoe owner’s manual to familiarize themselves with all the manufacturer-recommended maintenance procedures and intervals.

The backhoe manufacturers agree that good preventive maintenance starts with the backhoe operator performing an inspection of the entire machine before putting it to work.

Every time an inspection is done, the operator should start in the same spot and complete the inspection around the machine ending where they started. This routine makes it easier to spot what is normal vs. abnormal and makes sure nothing gets missed.

When performing the walk-around, visually inspect the machine’s appearance and look for damage, check fluid levels and look for leaks, and take a close look at worn items thatcouldpreventthemachinefromefficientlydoingitsjob. Key inspection points will vary between machine forms, but the concept is the same.

Anderson provided the below checklist for the typical backhoe walk-around inspection:

ï Check all tire pressures.

ï Check all fluid levels including engine oil, hydraulic oil, fuel and coolant.

ï Check all filters including air intake and cab filter.

ïInspectallstructuralcomponentssuchasloaderarmsfor any stress fractures or weldment failures.

ïEnsurecabdoorsandseatbeltareingoodworkingorder.

In addition, it is important that all operators verify the backhoe’s safety features are working prior to operation and that all the controls are clearly labeled.

It is crucial for backhoe operators to perform a walkaround at the end of the workday as well, because machine condition at the beginning of the day is usually not the same as at the end of the day. Machine damage may have occurred, fluid levels may have changed and other parts of the machine may have additional wear and fatigue. 

Case’s 580SV Construction King Joins Backhoe Lineup

Case Construction Equipment took ConExpo 2023 by storm by announcing the expansion of its backhoe loader line with the launchoffiveadditionalnewbackhoeloader models — including the all-new Case 580SV Construction King.

The renewed growth and interest in backhoe loaders is built on greater industry demand for multi-purpose machines in the wake of North America’s ongoing skilled labor shortage.

Case is embracing the increased demand for backhoes and giving contractors and business owners complete confidence by providing the all-new Rock-Solid Guarantee on the Case 580SV, which includes a competitive lease payment, a comprehensive warranty and an exclusive option at 12 monthstocontinuetheremainderofthelease or walk away with no further obligation.

“Case is the originator of the factory-built backhoe loader, and we are committed to supporting both the equipment and business growth demands of our customers throughout North America,” said Terry Dolan, vice president — North America, Case Construction Equipment.

“This exciting new offer from Case addresses both practical earthmoving needs while also delivering an extremely businessfriendly way to invest in new equipment and expand capabilities with total peace of mind.”

The Case Rock-Solid Guarantee delivers a 36-month/1,000-hour-per-year lease throughCNHIndustrialCapitalthatincludes a one-year full-machine warranty, and an expanded powertrain Purchased Protection Plan (PPP) that provides a total of 36 months/3,000 hours (or whichever comes

first)ofpowertrainprotection.Ifthebusiness ownerconvertsthatleasetoapurchaseatthe end of the term, they are eligible for an additional 12 months/1,000 hours of powertrain protection (for up to a total of 48 months/4,000hours,whichevercomesfirst).

TheRock-SolidGuaranteealsoincludesa provision where the contractor or business ownercanwalkawayfromtheleaseafter12 months if not satisfied — giving them further peace of mind as they invest in their business.

“If they get to the end of the first year and they realize that another machine would be better for their needs, they can turn that machine in and work with their dealer to pivot to a different machine,” said Dolan. “This is an amazing opportunity for anyone to get into the next great Case backhoe loader and make it a top performer in their fleet for years to come.”

The all-new Case 580SV Construction King introduced at ConExpo brings a tool carrier-stylefrontendbacktotheCasebackhoe line in North America, ideal for businesses who use the loader end of their backhoeasaprimarymaterialhandler—loading and unloading pallets, moving pipe and other bundled material around the yard.

Adding a 4-in-1 bucket, a 6-in-1 bucket, oranyofthecountlessattachmentsavailable for Case backhoes turns this into a robust multi-purpose jobsite solution — and a hydraulic quick coupler makes it easy. The new center pivot model is immediately available to the North American market. Casewill be rolling out a side-shift model later in 2023.

Volvo CE Publishes Its Own Electric Charging Protocol

Volvo CE, said, “We want to contribute to a standardized, reliable and efficient electric ecosystem that makes it easy for our customers to go electric.

“Today, lacking a standard brand-agnosticcharginginterfaceforcompactmachines, our customers will need different chargers for different machine brands. By making our charging interface public, we hope that we will see more and more charging solution providers and other machine OEMs using one and the same charging protocol — moving us a step closer to an industry standard for the benefit of customers everywhere.”

There is currently no industry standard for 48V DC (direct current) charging solutions — the power required for electric compact machines — which means customers currentlylikelyneedtosourcemultipledifferent chargers if they have a multi-branded fleet.

Volvo CE has therefore opted to publish its own brandagnostic software protocol, as well as plug specifications, used on its 48Voff-board DC chargers — with DC charging often commonly referred to as fast charging. This enables other OEMs and suppliers to use it in the development of their own charging solutions for compact machines.

Withthismove,VolvoCEaimstofacilitateandaccelerate the electromobility transformation by helping the wider industry create more charging solutions — based on a common protocol — for the benefit of customers transitioning to emission-free solutions.

Fredrik Tjernström, Electromobility Solutions Sales at

A 48V power supply is designed for the smallest range of compact construction machines. For Volvo CE, this currently appliestotheECR18Electric,EC18Electric andECR25Electriccompactexcavators,the L20 Electric and L25 Electric compact wheel loaders and the DD25 Electric asphalt compactor.

For heavier equipment, the use of a 600V power supply is required. There is already an industry standard protocol for this voltage that has been designed by the automotive industry.

The 48V DC protocol from Volvo CE is a free resource and is available at volvoce.com/global/en/our-offer/emobility/48V-protocol. 

JCB NorthAmerica Collects More Than 18,000 Items for ItsAnnual Food Drive

JCB recently held its annual food drive event, named “The Big Dunk,” benefitting America’s Second Harvest Food Bank.

The event was led by a team of JCB interns, fostering the company’s culture of giving back and camaraderie. With the goal of collecting 1,500 items, their expectations were well surpassed with 18,000 total donations.

This year saw the introduction of a friendly competition to boost employee engagement and contribute to the food drive’s success. Each JCB executive was given a box to fill with donations of non-perishable goods. In the end, the executive with the least number of items in their box was dunked into the water tank, while the one with the most was allowed to choose an intern to also be dunked.

“We’re extremely proud of The Big Dunk food drive’s success, the generosity of our employees and the hard

work put in by our interns to make it happen,” said Richard Fox-Marrs, president and CEO of JCB North America. “This event exemplifies the heart of JCB’s culture, which values community, and good, healthy competition. The food drive not only allows us to give back in a meaningful way, but it also serves as a team-building opportunity for our summer interns, providing a real-world opportunity for them to learn the importance of teamwork, leadership and social responsibility in the workplace.”

“Our goal was to work efficiently as ateamandgivebacktothecommunity that is taking care of us while we are here for the summer and away from our families,” said Hailey Medlin, marketing intern at JCB North America. “The Savannah community has become our temporary home and we’re glad to be actively involved in giving back to this community, particularly with this record setting campaign.”

BABARequirementsNowExtendtoConstructionMaterials

RULE from page 1

The proposed wording of the act, signed into law last fall as part of IIJA, has drawn criticism from several corners of the construction industry.

Attempting to Enhance Economy

“Contractorsneedtobeawareofhowthelaw… haschangedandhowitcouldaffecttheirbusinesses,” said Frank Tanzola and Kenneth Chapman of IAT Surety.

The law’s construction material requirements apply to all infrastructure projects receiving federal funding — not just IIJA projects. This means not only where the fed is the contracting party, but also on projects where a state or local government entity is the contracting party.

Now, according to Tanzola and Chapman, “infrastructure’projects include roads, tunnels and bridges; railways; dams, ports, harbors and other maritime facilities. That also includes airports; water systems; electrical transmission facilities and systems; utilities; broadband; and any buildings associated with the project.

In addition to iron, steel and manufactured products, BABA’s requirements now extend to construction materials. These materials, which also must be U.S. sourced, include commodities such as glass, drywall, fiber optic cable, non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminum. PVC and other plastic or polymer-based products are included; aggregates and cement are not.

“BABA incrementally increases the required domestic content threshold of manufactured goods from 55 percent to 60 percent, effective October 2022,” said Tanzola and Chapman.

Thatfiguregoesupto65percentby2024andwilltopout at 75 percent in 2029.

“However, in certain instances, increases have been delayed pending review,” they said. “Commercially available off-the-shelf items made abroad can be used if they are not modified.”

BABAbuildson“acomplexpatchwork”ofBuyAmerica restrictions that vary depending on which federal authority provides the infrastructure funding.

Roger Abbott, Lauren Fleming and Karl Means of law firm Miles & Stockbridge P.C. say that can be confusing. They explained that “Buy America” restrictions apply to domestic infrastructure funding. But, “Buy American” restrictions, such as the BuyAmericanAct, apply to federal procurements.

“At times, these domestic preference restrictions vary even at the sub-agency level,” said the three.

And, although Buy America regulations may be similar acrossfederalagencies,anywaiversforspecificproductsare dictated by the funding authority.

“On the one hand, IIJA provided over $1.2 trillion for a broad range of infrastructure projects,” saidAbbott, Fleming and Means. “On the other hand, BABA imposed domestic preference restrictions to all federally-funded infrastructure projects, regardless of whether they are funded by IIJA.”

Historically, domestic preference restrictions, by contrast were specific to particular appropriations and the federal entities that managed them.

Agencies must ensure that “none of the funds made available for a federal infrastructure program may be obligated

unless all of the iron, steel, manufactured products and construction materials used are produced in the United States.”

The trio of attorneys said BABA is intended to create a government-wide baseline that applies only when the standards fail to meet or exceed requirements.

“However, BABA expands the current domestic preferenceregime,whichappliesonlytoironandsteelandtoman-

Contractors should be aware that the proposed BABA rule applies to all infrastructure projects receiving federal funding.

ufactured products,” they said.

The program does so by extending Buy America restrictions to a new category of inputs: construction materials. BABA lists several “common construction materials” that are “not adequately covered by a domestic content procurement preference.”

see RULE page 96

The expanded rule applies not only where the federal government is the contracting party, but also on projects where a state or local government entity administers the contract.

Presented in December 2022, the world’s first prototype telehandler powered by a fuel cell will soon be tested on a work site, as Julien Waechter, VP R&D Manitou Group, explained: “We’ve now reached the second stage of our project: testing the machine in

real-life conditions. In a few months’time, it will be joined by a second prototype of a rotating telehandler with even greater lifting capacity. More than anything, this prize rewards the innovation at the heart of Manitou Group’s DNA, and our determination to accelerate our energy transition.”

Manitou Group is keen to promote and accelerate the development of the French hydrogen industry, having joined forces with local green hydrogen producers. As a result of the technologiesimplementedinitsproductsandthe use of green hydrogen, the Group estimates that the carbon emissions linked to the entire life cycle of a telehandler will be a quarter those of a combustion engine machine.

This award illustrates Manitou Group’s commitmenttodevelopinglow-carbonsolutions, in line with the commitments of its low-carbon trajectory, validated by the SBTi in 2022. 

The main material being used in the construction of the tunnel is precast concrete tunnel segments made in Macedonia, Ohio.

The program also includes significant green infrastructure investment, suchasstormwatercontrolmeasuresto store, infiltrate and evapotranspirate stormwater before it even makes its way to the combined sewer system. This could reduce the long-term cost, while enhancing neighborhoods, providing economic development opportunities and rebuilding the community.

“The sewer district implements green infrastructure across our programs where it’s the right solution for the problem at hand,” said Kyle Dreyfuss-Wells, NEORSD’s chief executive officer. “Our green infrastructure policy lays out this commitment, and we work to ensure green infrastructure is integrated into our work and demonstrates the most effective applications of this technology.”

ProjectCleanLakeisfundedthrough sewer use fees paid for wastewater treatment. Frank Greenland, former planning manager and current director ofwatershedprogramsatthesewerdistrict, said being part of such a major undertaking is extremely gratifying.

“This is our job, but also our commitment to the residents of northeast Ohio. In addition to Project Clean Lake, we have a robust regional stormwater management program that

will further benefit the region for decades to come.”

“Our work is fascinating,” added Dreyfuss-Wells.“Weserve63communities, with 750 employees to protect water quality and public health in the Lake Erie watershed. With a $190 million annual operating budget and $216 million in annual construction, we deal with engineering, environmental science, hydrology, industrial technology, finance, public policy, legal issues and deeply personal issues as folks are impacted by flooding, erosion and water quality concerns.”

According to Marshall, “It’s very rewarding to see Project Clean Lake come to fruition. To date, the work

completed under the consent decree has led to elimination of about 1.7 billion gal. of overflow from discharging into the environment each year, with the reduction of another 300 million by the end of 2023.”

Marshall noted that the work is challenging, but not overwhelming.

“We have a talented team here at the sewerdistrictinchargeofplanningand managing projects, so we are able to meet the deadlines outlined in the consentdecree.Inaddition,weareregularly looking for value-added engineering opportunities and sound project management to ensure we are delivering projects both efficiently and cost effectively.”

Proposed Rule Still Appears to Be ‘Work in Progress’

RULE from page 84

However, it exempts “cement and cementitious materials, aggregates such as stone, sand or gravel, or aggregate binding agents or aggregates.”

Construction Sector Not Amused

When the proposed rule was pub lished, OMB solicited feedback on a laundry list of issues from a wide range of stakeholders. Comments include crit icism about the expansive scope of the rule, ambiguities and internal inconsis tencies in the proposed standards.

Those stakeholder comments also pointed to possible deviations from the parameters established by Congress.

“The proposed rule still appears to be a work in progress and leaves open a number of important questions,” said Abbott, Fleming and Means. “Contractors and state and local author ities continue to face regulatory uncertainty about how the BABArestrictions apply to their infrastructure projects.”

In fact, the AGC and ARTBA regis tered their criticisms of BABA last spring when OMB asked for comment. AGC wrote OMB’s director Shalanda Young that the association believes rushing BABAcould backfire.

“A rushed implementation could unnecessarily delay projects,” said James Christianson, AGC vice president, government relations. “AGC members are eager to deliver on rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure. However, with construction material shortages and supply chains constraints, it is vital that we do not exacerbate these conditions.”

He pointed out that conditions have already made it challenging to ensure IIJA’s success. Industry wants to ensure that the American people see the benefits of the “historic” IIJAlaw.

But Christianson saidAGC worries that OMB has decidedtonotuseaphasedimplementationtoallowallstakeholders a much-needed adjustment period.

ARTBAalso commented in March on the proposed guidance, saying the association had several concerns and objections. The “lack of clarity and logical timing” concerns ARTBA: “Buy America coverage took effect Nov. 10 for five categories of construction materials.

“And yet a proposed ‘de minimis’ waiver, which would exempt smaller projects and a project’s first million dollars of federal funding, is still pending after more than four months.”

Another issue for ARTBA: Not using federal transportation agencies’ expertise in administering BABA requirements. The Made in America Office, created to oversee the federal government’s domestic preference programs, should incorporate existing DOT Buy America policies,” said the association.

ARTBAbelievesthat’samorelogicalmovethanmodifying or overriding DOT policies, which would delay implementation.

“The association will also submit comments supporting the manufactured products waiver and asks for input from members and chapters.”

ARTBA also is collaborating with other associations on potential administrative petitions that seek more transparency and efficiency in BABAimplementation.

What Contractors Can Do Now

The IAT Surety specialists say if a contractor is working on a federally funded project, compliance with applicable BuyAmerican requirements is critical.

The surety firm suggests staying on top of the rule by following a protocol of best practices:

ïGetcertificationfromyoursuppliers. IATSurety suggests a contractor obtain confirmation that the construction materials or manufactured products comply with BABA requirements.

ï Share liability. Construction contracts with subs and

suppliers should include language making them responsible for the cost of BABAnon-compliance, said the firm.

ï Stay current with requirement changes. “Laws change frequently. Pay close attention to bulletins issued by federal agencies such as the OMB,” said IAT Surety. “Conditions for waivers could change along with the types of construction materials subject to BABA” Though exceptions may also change, they said.

ïDon’tcountonawaiver.BABAisinplaceforareason, sowaiverswillnotbeeasytoobtainandarelikelytobeprojectorevenproductspecific.“Performyourduediligence,be aware that the timing to implement BABA requirements is not uniform for all federally funded infrastructure projects,” saidIAT.“AndmakesureBABArequirementsapplicableto the project are met,” the surety firm added.

ï Consider dedicating a person to BABA oversight. Make sure you record all facts surrounding the job and BABA compliance. Task someone with tracking documentation. Instead, have a dedicated person in charge of compliance with BABA. “Whenever in doubt, seek legal advice,” said IAT.

Finally, keep in mind that failure to comply with applicable BABArequirements can result in the need for removing and replacing completed work. That happens at your cost, said the surety firm, and may include termination from the contract and potentially even debarment from federally funded work.

“In addition, knowingly failing to comply with Buy American requirements can lead to liability under the False ClaimsAct,penaltiesunderwhichincludestrebledamages,” the firm said.  CEG

Beyond iron, steel and manufactured products, BABA rules now extend to construction materials which must also be U.S. sourced.
