DMR Materials’ new 300G excavator feeds its recycling spread. The 300G with its combination of fuel-efficient Tier IV final engine and faster cycle time is saving DMR Materials thousands of dollars each month in reduced fuel costs.

When Michael Bercowetz approached his father, Donald, about a new role that he wanted to fill in the family business, DMR Materials, it was after several years of observing the materials production and sale industry, how their own business operated and how their competitors’ businesses operated.

From where Michael stood, he didn’t always like what he

saw. He had gone to school for business and marketing and at times he was concerned that the principles he had been taught in higher education did not seem to be applied in particular when it came to dealing with customers in the construction materials industry.

“To be perfectly honest with you, I found that people in see DMR page 4

Small State Poised to Tackle Prodigious List of Transportation Projects in 2021 For being one of the nation’s smaller states, the Vermont Agency of Transportation’s (VTrans) list of highway projects for 2021 is prodigious, indicative of the agency’s responsibilities that extends far beyond replacing old pavement and fixing bridges on its state, federal and interstate roadways.

VTrans also partners with towns and cities to reconfigure city streets, maintain state-owned rail corridors, develop

bicycle and pedestrian trails and build sidewalks, among other infrastructure chores.

Vermont is the nation’s sixth smallest in terms of area at 9,616 sq. mi., but VTrans plans to begin or continue working on 95 different projects of widely varying sizes over the rest of 2021. see VERMONT page 10

Intense Focus On Innovation Spurs DMR Materials Success

DMR Materials takes great pride in its extremely accurate scales that assure every customer is only charged for the exact amount of materials that they receive.

(L-R): Greg Hulburt, sales representative of W.I. Clark; and Donald and Michael Bercowetz, both of DMR Materials.

DMR from page 1

our industry who were dealing with customers for starters were not particularly nice,” he said. “They didn’t treat a customer like a customer. Often, they were not well educated about the product they were selling, or they had no vested interest in helping the customer, and they certainly were not motivated.”

“I had worked around my dad’s business in a lot of different capacities for years and I

just felt strongly that our business could grow exponentially if we approached the customer a different way.”

DMR Materials, located in Bloomfield, Conn., just minutes from downtown Hartford, serves greater Hartford County.

The company supplies landscape and construction materials to construction companies, contractors and homeowners, no matter how small or large in quantity. Each material purchased is weighed on a certified public weight scale, with each transaction calculated to the last pound to ensure all customers receive exactly what they pay for. The backside, so to speak, of DMR Materials is a significant recycling facility that accepts concrete, dirt and asphalt for recycling from contractors across the region. These items are recycled into high quality construction materials.

Michael felt strongly that by addressing and completely revolutionizing how the customer is addressed at DMR Materials that the company could successfully set itself

Donald liked what he want to come across as heard and the rest, as they professionals and, frankly, say, is history. professional is not a term According to Michael, you hear very often in this “One of the basic fundabusiness. For whatever mentals that we instill is to reason people in our indusspend time with the custry quit treating the customer and really listen to tomer like they were a cuswhat their needs are.

Along with changing the general tone of are getting the right amount of materials.

“Just as importantly, we want to make DMR Materials, Michael also set about givsure they are getting the right material. We ing the yard a general facelift. Material bins were reorganized and cleaned up to give the yard a better look. Material storage buildings were added to keep weather sensitive materials properly protected. Each day the yard is swept to give it a clean and appealing look.

Essentially Michael gave the facility a facelift making it more inviting to the customer.

Greater attention was paid to major projects being let in the area with innovative thinking being applied as to how materials that needed to be removed from those projects could be received into the recycling facility and /or materials delivered to those projects more efficiently, making DMR Materials a more competitive vendor with strong customer friendly communication from the beginning to the end of the project.

All of these moves have combined to make DMR Materials a premier supplier to contractors in the greater Hartford area.

One of Michael Bercowetz’s projects included giving the yard a facelift with well-organized bins that feature a large assortment of materials to satisfy every feasible landscape and construction need.

Vermont Ready to Address, Replace Troublesome Bridge VERMONT from page 1

One example of VTrans’ work this year will be the reinforcement of the stone underpinnings of the covered bridge that connects Windsor with Cornish, N.H. At 449 ft., the Windsor-Cornish structure was the nation’s longest covered bridge until 2008, when a longer one was completed in Ohio. Built in 1866 for only $9,000, or about $160,000 in today’s money, the Connecticut River bridge now enjoys a place on the National Register of Historic Places.

The price tag for the latest work is a mere $90,000, a tiny fraction of what some of the projects on VTrans’ 2021 list will cost.

For instance, the next Connecticut River crossing to the north, the I-89 traverse at White River Junction, will be rehabbed and widened over the next four years for about $17 million.

With the pandemic slowly receding and the construction market ramping up, 2021 promises to be a busy year in the Green Mountain State.

Troublesome South Burlington Bridge to Be Solved The city of South Burlington will be more active this summer as VTrans crews will be

replacing the temporary bridge that has spanned Muddy Brook, on Kimball Avenue at the Williston line, since 2017. That year, a spring storm damaged the culvert that the earthen structure traversed, creating a big hole in the roadway.

The temporary bridge subsequently installed served its purpose until late 2019, when high water washed away the culvert and the soil surrounding it. By placing riprap along the brook’s banks, the city reopened the bridge on the last day of December.

To create a less bumpy ride for the 7,000 plus vehicles the bridge sees on an average day, South Burlington Public Works closed the bridge for three days last September to pave it with a thin layer of asphalt. That effort failed, however, as potholes soon began to plague motorists. Another repaving led to the same result.

The tribulations, however, should end this summer as the temporary structure will be removed and a culvert installed that will be “buried and out of sight,” the city’s Public Works director, Justin Rabidoux, told Vermont Business Magazine.

The new crossing also will include sidewalks for travelers on foot. Construction is expected to begin in June, with the goal of

completing the work 12 weeks later — almost 4½ years since the original failure.

Bikes, Pedestrians to Benefit VTrans also will have contractors extend Montpelier’s Cross Vermont Trail east to U32 Middle-High School, and then across the Winooski River on a new, dedicated bridge.

From there the construction will continue a short distance along the north side of U.S. Highway 2 to a point just beyond the East Montpelier line.

The bike and pedestrian trail is a 90-mi. route that follows the Winooski and Wells Rivers from Lake Champlain east to the Connecticut River. With the new Montpelier-East Montpelier segment in place, 30 mi. of off-road trail will be open, with the remaining 60 still in public roadways.

Greg Western, executive director of the Cross Vermont Trail Association, told Vermont Business Magazine that the goal is to get the entire trail away from the road wherever possible. He added that his organization plans to open the 1.8-mi. MontpelierEast Montpelier segment by the end of the year.

Several paths for walkers, runner and

bikes also will progress in Bennington, the site of several projects this year and in 2022.

The new routes, including an active corridor that combines an off-street path with onstreet bicycle lanes, total 4 mi., all on the north side of the South Shire’s main community, Vermont Business Magazine reported.

“There’s a [Bennington County Regional Commission] comprehensive plan to connect all the pathways in an appropriate way, so we’re basically building out a network in our entire community,” Bennington Assistant Town Manager Dan Monks told the news source. The projects on the current work list “will form the backbone of the network,” he added.

The projects will help create a non-motorized 4-mi. route between Bennington College and downtown so people without cars can patronize the north side’s stores and restaurants more easily.

Major Projects On Horizon In Middlebury, a major transportation enterprise may result in improved community amenities. A multiyear, $70-million- to $80-million-project that has replaced two old bridges with a 350-ft.-long tunnel in the see VERMONT page 14

DMR Looks to W.I. Clark to Assist With Expansive Iron Needs

A massive stockpile of asphalt awaiting recycling.

John Deere 324L is a perfect yard loader with the right reach for loading any size truck.

DMR from page 4

Michael Bercowetz has proven to be an innovator. This comes as no surprise to his father Donald, whose family has a proud history of hard work and innovation. His family immigrated to the United States from Russia at the turn of the century and his grandfather, Kalmar, started a farm in Bloomfield, Conn. That farm soon had its own meat packing plant.

Innovation came into play when that meat packing plant matured into the area’s first grocery superstore. The store was so large and offered such a diversity of products that it became a destination shopping center.

Waterbury Main Street Project Set to Wrap Up This Summer VERMONT from page 10

heart of the town will finish later this spring.

Part of the effort was the lowering of the Vermont Railway track bed that ran beneath the pair of nearly adjacent bridges.

Vermont Business Magazine noted that just north of the tunnel, the AOT will this summer launch construction of a boarding platform to be ready when Amtrak service is extended from Rutland north to Burlington late this year or early in 2022.

The Waterbury Main Street project, like the amenity upgrades in Middlebury, is demonstrating how the updating of transportation infrastructure dovetails with any number of initiatives to help a community both serve residents and attract visitors.

According to the VTrans webpage, the Main Street project will rebuild a 1-mi. section of U.S. 2 to integrate pedestrian and streetscape improvements and facilitating access. First started in 2019, with an expected completion date of 2022, the project is entering its final phases, according to the town’s community transportation liaison, Barbara Farr.

In terms of road construction, the street, which U.S. 2 and VT 100 follows through Waterbury’s downtown, needs only a final layer of asphalt before completion this summer. But Farr expected that the removal of

utility poles and transmission lines will not be done until summer 2022.

Due to the pandemic, she noted that, in 2020, “because businesses were closed, people were working from home, schools were closed, or in the fall they opened part-time.

[As a result,] contractors were able to get a lot of work done while people were not on the road.”

The remaking of the town’s main thoroughfare, as well as work on a pair of adjoining side streets, will cost $22 million, Farr estimated.

“Not only is the downtown going to be a lot more beautiful and a lot safer, with the bump-outs and so forth [but] the big stuff is the stuff people aren’t even going to see — the underground water lines, storm drains, electrical lines,” she commented to Vermont Business Magazine. “The infrastructure improvements are setting Waterbury up for the next 50-plus years.”

In other words, VTrans’ job is not simply to get folks down the highway more easily, but also to maintain and improve the things that make Vermont an attractive place to live or visit, whether they are former rail trails that beckon cyclists, or streetscapes that, after long months of social isolation, invites neighbors who have not seen each other and visitors too long absent, to sit down for a leisurely coffee at a sidewalk cafe. 

DMR Materials Loads Up On Deere to Run Huge Operation DMR from page 12

honest with you, what really initially got our attention with John Deere was just how great the people at John Deere Financing were to work with. Without getting into a lot of detail, I’ll just say that their flexibility and terms were better than anyone else we had ever dealt with.

“2008 was a difficult time for everyone and John Deere Financing’s willingness to work with us was very impressive. So, a few years later, when it was time for us to buy again, we naturally went to W.I. Clark and this time purchased a John Deere 644K loader. Soon after that, we purchased a John Deere 244J compact loader. Since that time, we have added a John Deere skid steer, a 724J loader, a 744K Series II loader, a 324L loader and a 300G excavator.

“It was certainly the John Deere financing that initially got out attention and the John Deere product has been excellent. But, just

as important, W.I. Clark’s service and the attention of their staff has kept us coming back.

“Greg Hurlburt, our sales representative with W.I. Clark, takes extremely good care of us. He helps us think out our purchases and match the right machine to our needs and plan ahead for our future needs. He has never let us down.

“I think relationships are important and I am loyal unless given a reason not to be.

Doug Hansen, president of W.I. Clark, has also made his presence felt at our business.

Getting that kind of attention is important to us. Some of the suggested equipment that W.I. Clark has brought to the table has really affected our bottom line. Our new John Deere 300G excavator has been a particularly good investment for us. Between improved fuel efficiency and increase cycle times we are saving approximately $1,300.00 a month in fuel.”  CEG
