Flooding Disrupts McCain Creek Bridge Work By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

Rising waters during the past year have forced a delay in the McCain Creek Bridge replacement project in Shreveport, La. Originally scheduled for completion in April, the project is now expected to take until mid-June. “Anytime you’re working in the bottom of a creek there’s a possibility of flooding,” explained Project Engineer Michael Murphy, Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development. “The job called for demolishing two existing bridges and replacing them with one 15 by15 by 420 ft. (4.5 by 4.5 by 128 m) quadruple barrel box culvert.”

America’s drawn-out and contentious debate about health care did not end with the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law March 23. In some

respects, the national argument has just begun — and construction equipment manufacturers Caterpillar and Deere & Co. suddenly find themselves at the heart of it. Just two days after the bill’s signing into law, President Obama was in Iowa when Deere, Iowa’s largest employer, announced that the

‘Backhoe Across America’Makes First Dealership Pit Stop

(L-R): Chatting after lunch are Bill Eckel, Dekalb County (GA) fleet superintendent; Homer Doster, Grabber Construction Products, Atlanta; Kie Doster and Scott Place of Atlanta JCB; and Charles Gill, Dekalb County (GA) sanitation superintendent. The DeKalb County (GA) Roads and Drainage Department turned out for some good food and an opportunity to be part of the Backhoe Across America charity event. (L-R) are Lenardo Owens; Scott Place, Atlanta JCB sales manager; Mike Richardson and Oswald Walker.

aking the first dealership pit stop on its coast-to-coast journey for the Backhoe Across America charity drive, the JCB 3CX backhoe loader and driver, Neil Smith, paid a visit to Atlanta JCB on March

30. Smith and his JCB 3CX will travel from Tybee Island, Ga., to Santa Monica Pier in California to raise funds for the American Red Cross for the Haiti Relief and Development Fund. A tremendous turnout of customers, guests and local officials greeted Smith at Atlanta JCB in Kennesaw, Ga. For its part, Atlanta JCB treated attendees to a fun-filled afternoon consisting of activities, a catered lunch, door prizes and other giveaways, an opportunity to see and demo the newest JCB machines and to participate in a backhoe loader skills competition. see JCB page 82

The JCB 3CX will be traveling from Tybee Island, Ga., to Santa Monica Pier in California.

JCB’s Neil Smith (R) speaks with Don Beaver (L), president, Cobb County (GA) Chamber of Commerce; Craig Lesser (second from L), past commissioner of the Georgia Economic Development Authority and Rick Piper, president of Atlanta JCB. The Cobb County Chamber of Commerce made the first donation of the day with a $250 check to the American Red Cross.

(L-R): The Backhoe Across America charity campaign provided a great opportunity for JCB representatives and their customers to reconnect including Larry Welch, Atlanta JCB; Melinda LaFramboise and Greg Ford of A & F Contractors, Atlanta; and Maeve McPhail, JCB SE district manager.

Traveling coast-to-coast in a backhoe loader has helped JCB’s Neil Smith achieve “star status” and folks are eager to get their picture with him, including the girls of the Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery, Kennesaw, Ga.

Build America Bonds Allow JLG Awarded $4M Contract States to Obtain Low Rates to Build EIRVs for U.S. Navy The U.S. Department of the Treasury released a new report showing that the Build America Bonds program has resulted in significant savings in borrowing costs for state and local governments. The report finds that Build America Bond issuers will save more than $12 billion in borrowing costs on bonds issued during the first year of the program as compared to issuing tax exempt debt. In addition, the Treasury Department released its monthly comprehensive update on Build America Bonds issuances, showing more than $90 billion have been issued through March 31, 2010. “Build America Bonds continue to save money for state and local governments and enjoy broad support in the market,” said Alan B. Krueger, assistant secretary of economic policy at the Treasury Department. “Expanding and making this program permanent, as the President proposed in the budget, will further improve the long-term functioning of the municipal bonds market and create a more efficient and effective municipal finance sector.” The Build America Bonds program, created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, allows state and local governments to obtain financing at lower

borrowing costs for new capital projects such as construction of schools and hospitals, development of transportation infrastructure, and water and sewer upgrades. Under the Build America Bonds program, the Treasury Department makes a direct payment to the state or local governmental issuer in an amount equal to 35 percent of the interest payment on the bonds. Build America Bonds have had a very strong reception from both issuers and investors. From the inception of the program in April 2009 to March 31, 2010, there have been 1,066 separate Build America Bonds issuances in 48 states for a total of more than $90 billion. According to Treasury’s report, for the $90 billion of Build America Bonds issued, state and local governments will save $12.3 billion in the net present value of borrowing costs compared with issuing traditional tax-exempt bonds. The report also shows the decline in the underwriting cost of issuing Build America Bonds to a level more closely aligned with traditional tax exempt bonds.

Earthwork Continues Despite Record Rains for Georgia

The North Gordon Bypass is a new roadway that completes another piece of the puzzle that will make up the Fall Line Freeway. Joel Seagraves (L), office engineer and Gary Bracken, project manager, are both of Prince Contracting LLC. The overall project will involve a total of 3.1 million cu. yds. (2.3 million cu m) of earthwork.

depressed median. The roadway will serve as a bypass around the city of Gordon, Ga., and runs from SR 57 at the Twiggs/Wilkinson County Line to SR 243 at Lake Tchucoloako. The project also includes a bridge over Little Commissioner Creek and Central of Georgia Railroad. The full dollar amount of the project is $29.9 million, and is under the direction of the Georgia Department of Transportation. Funding comes from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009. The contract was awarded to Prince Contracting LLC. Notice to proceed was given on Sept. 1, 2009, and the completion date is set for July 31, 2012. Gary Bracken is the project manager, and

Joel Seagraves is the office engineer. Seagraves noted that extensive clearing and earthwork operations are imperative to the project’s completion. The overall project will involve a total of 3.1 million cu. yds. (2.3 million cu m) of earthwork. “The project presents the same challenges that come with other large earth-moving jobs,” Seagraves said. “Proper planning and use of time is imperative, considering that 2009 was the wettest year on record for the state of Georgia.” Seagraves reported that another challenge is the fact that there is a wide variance in existing elevations from one end of the project to the other. Currently, the project is running on schedule.

Including Prince’s bridge crew, there are approximately 45 to 50 personnel on the job site. Reeves Construction Company, Macon, Ga., is the main subcontractor, and is responsible for asphalt paving. A fleet of Caterpillar equipment being used on the job includes a 330 excavator, a D6M GPS dozer, a D7R dozer, a 12H motorgrader, 623G self-loading pans, a D5N dozer, a 938G loader, a 928G loader and a D3 dozer. Prince Contracting LLC is based in Tampa, Fla., and has several other Florida offices and one in Gordon, Ga. John Watson is the president of the company, Jack Calandros is the vice president, and Kevin Muncy is the general superintendent. The core market and focus of the business is

transportation construction projects. When completed, the Fall Line Freeway will be a corridor traversing the entire width of Georgia from the Alabama state line at Columbus to Macon and then to Augusta at the South Carolina state line. The corridor will cover approximately 215 mi. (346 km). The estimated cost for the entire Fall Line Freeway project is currently $474,262,000. To date, approximately 178 mi. (286 km), or 83 percent, of the entire project is open to traffic or under construction. The final portion has not yet begun.

Former Golf Course Transformed Into Car Dealer Central By Lori Lovely CEG CORRESPONDENT Choosing a driver has a whole new meaning at Cheviot Hills. The scenic public 18-hole golf course near Raleigh, N.C., was sold to Leith MLC Automotive LLC. This partnership is transforming rolling greens and sand traps into five car dealerships and a corporate headquarters, with design work by engineer of record WG Daniels & Associates. Harrod & Associates Constructors Inc., headquartered in Raleigh, is the general contractor of the project and S.T. Wooten Corporation, based in Wilson, won the contract for the site work. As the site contractor, Wooten will clear the land, perform erosion control, install a culvert and do everything but utilities. “We did work for the car dealership before,” recalled Mike Sciortino, area manager, “but this work was put up for bid.” The bid on the on-site package totaled $7.6 million and an additional $3 million package was bid for off-site work: road widening along U.S. 1, signals, etc. “We don’t usually do jobs this big,” Sciortino confessed, referring to the commercial division. S.T. Wooten, founded in 1952, specialized in grading and paving in its early years. During the 1970s and ‘80s, the company diversified, adding manufacturing facilities, utilities, structures and concrete products. Now headed by S. T. Wooten Jr., it consists of eight operating divisions: asphalt, commercial, quality concrete, ready mix concrete, heavy highway, structures and utilities. In addition to its corporate office in Wilson, Wooten owns 13 asphalt plants and 17 ready mix concrete plants. Par for the Course Plans call for developing half of the project now: approximately 100 acres at the front of the property. Larry Wirth, representing Harrod, explained that the 100 acres in back are being left for future development, which might include a business park. A benefit of dividing the job into halves is that it allows crews to install erosion control measures. Erosion is an issue because they’re working so fast, Sciortino believed, but it was also a challenge because there are a lot of contour changes since the area under development was once a golf course. Leveling off the hilly 35-acre site was not only a big job, but it also created some issues. “Everything on the pond side was a cut,” Sciortino noted. “They took 30 feet off the height in the cul de

ing supplier of innovative geosynthetic solutions to the construction industry. “We’re solution providers,” Smith summarized, “with 26 years of experience in design, installation and promoting products that facilitate construction. S.T. Wooten is one of our ‘big’ customer in North Carolina.” As a consultant brought in to add “value engineering” on the project, Smith’s duties included supplying information, technical expertise and material. “We’ve done many walls on the east coast, from Maine to Florida. Mike asked if we could use the wall on this project. It would mean a huge cost savings, but he had to sell the technology to the owner and their engineer,” Smith stated. Wirth admitted that the company had to be “sold” on the wall. “We weren’t too sure,” he said. To convince the owners, Sciortino took them to visit a few completed projects sites. “They liked the overall ascetics and the green look of the project,” Smith indicated. They couldn’t have been unhappy with the cost savings, either. Sciortino said the $1.6 million wall was not in the original budget, but installing it still allowed them to save the client money and added to the “green” aspect of the project. “S.T. Wooten was instrumental in finding ways to save the owner money on this project,” Smith declared. “Mike Sciortino and S.T. Wooten thought ‘outside the box’ to help the owner throughout this project.” Smith calculated the savings of the MSE retaining wall: the material was cheaper — only four truckloads of wire baskets were needed for the face of the wall, as compared with 50 truckloads of modular blocks. This resulted in a savings to the environment due to less fuel used to truck in the blocks, less exhaust and less material taken from the earth. Using on-site soil was environmentally friendly and saved more money and man hours. “The MSE wall is installed much faster than the MBRW,” Smith noted. “Fewer man hours [were] used to install the blocks.” Sciortino estimated that it took half the time to put up. Construction of 101,000 sq. ft. (9.383 s m) of 40-ft.-tall (12.1 m) MSE retaining wall started on July 3, 2009, and was completed before the end of August 2009, and plants were installed in October. Opting for the MSE wall instead of the modular block wall also allowed the use of on-site soil. Because S.T. Wooten had access to a significant amount of on-site soil, they also were able to save see GOLF page 24

on hauling costs. Luckily for them, that plan worked: the soil has to be a specific type to work with this design and Cheviot Hills had the right kind of soil. As Wirth explained it, an MSE wall is “considerably less picky about the kind of fill dirt used; the requirements aren’t as stringent. Keystone [modular block] needs sandy soil so it doesn’t slide. Stabilizing keystone with fill was going to be a serious budget issue.” Smith described the configuration as consisting of an 18 by 18 inch (45 by 45 cm) L-shaped wire basket on the wall that contains the soil for erosion control on the fascia. The benefit is that not only does the design allow for compaction and hold the earth, but it also offers more flexibility and “gives a little,” as opposed to a modular block concrete wall that can crack. The environmentally friendly wall rises 40 ft. (12.1 m) in the back, but only 20 ft. (6 m) in the front by the road. Sciortino said a 50 percent slope faces the highway. In addition, there’s a river “buffer” around the wall, which complicated installation because no dirt or silt was allowed in the area. “We couldn’t disturb it, so our wall is five to 10 feet off the fence.” It’s part of a new City Greenway

that hugs the base of the wall. The City was pleased with the choice of MSE wall because it decreases the “heat island effect: compared with a concrete wall and because S.T. Wooten used five native plants foraged from the forest to landscape the area. “MSE walls are being used in more projects,” Smith said, “and a showcase project like this, located near the 540 loop around the city, gets attention. Already, other developers are stopping to look at it and ask about it. It’s a busy highway; there’s a lot of visibility.” Tee Time Sciortino expected site prep to be completed by March 31 and the road improvement done by August. “We’ve been working every day that’s dry but Sunday,” he said. Currently, he’s ahead of schedule, but it hasn’t been easy because their March start was delayed until May due to permitting issues and weather is always a factor. Complimenting S.T. Wooten on its ability to make up time, Wirth recalled with amazement how crews used six hoes to fill trucks with two scoops. “They moved an unbelievable amount of dirt in a very short time.” Another challenge to the schedule has been utility relocation. To date,

S.T. Wooten made up lost time, by moving a large amount of dirt in a very short time. about 1,000 ft. (304.8 m) have been relocated and Wirth estimated that another 8,000 ft. (2,438 m) still needs to be moved. “There is an incredible amount of fiber optics along Capitol Blvd,” Wirth said. As one of the people who has had to coordinate scheduling so three different utility companies can move their lines, he pointed out that “it’s been extremely expensive.” Sciortino worried about finishing the connector road, which is the last major thing to do, he said. Wirth said they’re racing to be ready when the Audi dealership is scheduled to open,

despite a delayed start due to permits. In mid-March, crews were wrapping up work on signals, paving a left-turn lane and putting stone down for a right-turn lane into the project. In addition to finishing the connector, Wirth said the rest of the off-site work — additional lanes, signals and an exit ramp off 540 — will take about nine months to complete. It also will take a lot of equipment. Sciortino listed equipment that has been on-site during the project, some of which they had to borrow from their heavy-duty division: • Eight off-road 40-ton (36 t) trucks

• Two 345 Cat track hoes • Two 330 Cat track hoes • Two 322 Cat track hoes • Three tractor and pans • 615 scraper • Four rollers • Two 815s • Two D6s • Three D5s • One D7 dozer • Two water trucks for dust control • One tower to fill the trucks more quickly He explained that the water truck was used in an effort to reduce dust because the Toyota dealership was already open when they began working. Looking ahead to the end of the project later this year, Wirth commended everyone involved. “It’s a good team effort. We’ve been lucky to work with a good owner and design team on a really interesting project.” Where golf carts once carried people from tee to green, soon different makes of vehicles will be the driving force.

Quiet on the Course: Noise Barriers Keep Killian in View Noise barriers are a benefit for homeowners who live near a major highway, as they reduce noise and increase quality of life. However, not all noise barriers are created equal. The majority of noise barrier installations involve precast concrete panels that reduce noise but also reduce visibility. For businesses located close to a thoroughfare, such as Killian Greens Golf Club in Miami, Fla, a concrete noise barrier also is a barrier to potential customers. “Ever since its inception, the Killian Greens Golf Club has enjoyed an uninhibited view from the expressway,” said Killian Greens owner Russ Breiner. “When the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority [MDX] proposed a concrete noise barrier to mitigate noise for nearby residential areas we asked them to consider not building on our frontage, which spans a few thousand feet across.” However, proper noise mitigation requires a continuous wall. While MDX was willing to provide landscaping features to the golf course to compensate for lost visibility, this did not solve the underlying problem, according to Breiner. “We are a public golf course. We need the public to know we are there and motorists seeing us as they drive on the expressway are a big part of our exposure,” he explained. “A concrete noise wall would prevent travelers from noticing our beautiful course.” The answer for Killian Greens was a Paraglas Soundstop noise barrier sheet, a clear noise barrier alternative from Evonik Cyro LLC that is used extensively worldwide and has been part of many successful projects in North America. According to Mike Edwards of Durisol, a division of Armtec Limited Partnership and the exclusive distributor of Paraglas Soundstop, “Paraglas Soundstop is ideal for blocking highway noise while preserving visibility and light. The material is durable, suitable for long-term noise barrier applications, and provides a great alternative for designers challenged to maintain historic, majestic or business-minded views.” The section along Killian Greens, adjacent to the 2nd and 16th holes, required

approximately 9,000 sq. ft. of Paraglas Soundstop ready fit panels spanning 20-ft. (6 m) bays with a total height of 22 ft. (6.7 m) to provide maximum visibility. The framed panels were installed in conjunction with the standard concrete posts commonly used in Florida. Durisol worked closely with Evonik and MDX to design a custom frame to adapt the Paraglas Soundstop to the standard concrete post. The result — modifications to the MDX-approved precast concrete system were not required and the contractor was able to simply install the transparent Paraglas noise barrier panels in lieu of precast panels. “Paraglas Soundstop is ideal because it can be readily modified by Durisol for use with virtually any noise barrier system,” said Edwards. Following the installation, Breiner and company had their first glimpse at what they helped create. “We were and remain pleased with the see BARRIERS page 30

wall and with MDX. They bent over backwards to try and meet our needs. Normal noise walls are unsightly and block more than just noise. Paraglas Soundstop from Evonik Cyro allows for a more aesthetic barrier with much greater visibility,” said Breiner. “The new panels provide a solution to our original problem. Customers have reacted positively and support the new panels use.” The Paraglas Soundstop noise barrier sheet has been successfully used in transparent noise barriers along roads and railroads around the world for more than 30 years, according to the manufacturer. In the United States the sheet has been featured on the Marquette Interchange in Milwaukee, Wis., the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge, and at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa., to name only a few. Paraglas Soundstop sheet is resistant to weathering from UV exposure, and retains clarity and strength through decades of sunlight exposure. For more information, visit www.paraglassoundstop.com.

New Traffic Configurations Working Well for Motorists FLOODING from page 1

The overall bid for the project was approximately $16.3 million, with a project bid cost of $12.3 million. More than 9,000 cu. yds. (6,880 cu m) of concrete had to be used for the new construction, which is backfilled with 80,000 cu. yds. (61,164 cu m) of embankment material. Each box quadrant was built individually, using a cofferdam/dewatering system. Completed in 1979 as part of the I-220 bypass, the structures have seen their share of wear and tear. The average daily traffic for I-220 is approximately 28,000 vehicles. The McCain Creek bridges are located within the limits of the future I-49/I-220 interchange ramps.The eastbound bridge was approximately 42 ft. 9 in. (13 m) wide by 352 ft. (107 m) long and the westbound bridge was approximately 42 ft. 9 in. wide by 320 ft. (97.5 m) long. “They required modifications to accommodate future ramp traffic and because the bridge required a considerable amount of maintenance, it was decided that it was more cost effective to replace it with a four barrel 15 by 15 ft. reinforced box culvert. Another advantage to the box culvert verses a bridge was an overall lower maintenance cost,” Murphy said. “This project is set up in four stages — the southwest corner, southeast corner, northeast corner and, finally, the northwest corner,” Murphy continued. “The contractor chose the option of building a cofferdam to work in. The sheet pile wall in the middle of the creek was incorporated into the box culvert structure. Due to the limited space of construction and the fact that the contractor couldn’t work on too many items at once, we primarily had one inspector at all times. During periods of concrete pours, major earthwork and asphalt operations, we would increase the number of inspectors to four or five. Even though the contractor provides his own quality control, we provide oversight over the contract, specs and plans and also perform acceptance testing in the field.” “Our inspectors, no matter what job, always have to be mindful of safety issues” added Murphy. “The biggest concern was how motorists

would handle the traffic configuration for the project.” Diverting Traffic Safely The project is on a four-lane divided highway. For the first two stages of the project, the entire eastbound roadway was shut down and the eastbound traffic was swapped to the inside lane of the westbound roadway, while westbound traffic was moved to the outside lane of the westbound roadway. For the last two stages, the entire westbound roadway will be shut down and both eastbound and westbound traffic will travel on the eastbound side. So far, traffic has reportedly handled the shift well. Approximately 700 ft. (213 m) of drainage pipe ranging between 36 and 72 in. (91.4 and 182.8 cm) has been installed as part of the replacement. Once that task was finished, paving, striping, drainage and erosion control issues had to be addressed. Water Control Danny Gosserand, a supervisor for LaMay Group LLC, Livonia, La., explained, “We planted grass, using about 1,200 pounds of seed and 5,000 pounds of fertilizer, and went through about nine tons of hay which was distributed on the slopes.” “When you have that much

runoff coming off the edge of the road, you take great pains to keep the slope at a certain grade,” Gosserand continued. “We used a Ford tractor for seeding and fertilizing, then blew rounded bales of hay using a John Deere four-wheel drive with a haybuster attached to the back of the larger tractor. The ‘teeth’ shredded the hay and formed a blanket of it that was distributed on the slopes. A hydrosealer was also used to prevent hay loss during periods of rain.” Other subcontractors on the

project included Protection Service Inc., Southern Synergy, Thomas Grinding Inc. and Benton & Brown L.L.C., a producer of hot mix asphaltic concrete. “We furnished and installed the sub-grade layer, class II base course — in this case, crushed stone base from a quarry in Arkansas — as well as cold planing and superpave asphalt paving on this project,” explained Benton & Brown estimator Alvin Miller. “We performed the initial asphalt paving and cold planing for the ini-

tial traffic shift approximately one year ago. The first permanent roadway pavement that replaced the removed bridge occurred this year when we began and completed the installation of the 12-inch deep sub-grade layer, which consisted of cement-treated dirt material back in February. The equipment used included a Cat RM500 recycler, a vibratory pad foot compactor, a pneumatic rubber tired roller, a Cat 140M motor grader and water trucks. Crews began the class II base course in early March. It took more compaction effort to get density on this stone than usual, but requirements were met. “We used a Cat PM201 milling machine to remove the old asphalt on the existing shoulders that we were to resurface adjacent to the existing portland cement concrete pavement,” Miller said. “As far as the superpave asphaltic concrete installation, we milled up and relaid about 66 tons of asphalt mix at the west tie-in, to provide a smoother tie-in between the new and existing pavements. The main paving equipment used was a Cat asphalt paver, along with a Roadtec material transfer device (MTV) and smooth drum vibratory compactors. The MTV is used to keep the mix from segregating during the dumping process. “The biggest challenge for our company on this phase was the tiein of the new asphalt surface to the existing roadway surface. Tie-ins are always a bit difficult, and this project was no different. ” He added, “The weather has been one of the biggest challenges on the whole project, because unfavorable conditions prohibit construction operations. However, between the end of February and mid-March, we only lost two days to rain. That was really a blessing, considering the entire month of January and early February were so wet and cold.” The general contractor for the McCain Creek Bridge replacement is Eutaw Construction Company Inc., Jackson, Miss.

Carroll Pons is the director of heavy equipment operations for Plaquemines Parish, LA. After Hurricane Katrina hit, he knew he’d have a tough time getting his equipment working again to help in the clean-up. But he never expected anything like this. The parish’s Doosan excavator had been submerged in 20 feet of saltwater for two weeks. Part of a roof was stuck in the boom. Though he thought it was a goner, it was worth a try. So Pons called M&L Industries, his Doosan dealer for 10 years. They drained 60 gallons of seawater from the engine compartment and did some minor repairs. Four hours later, our excavator roared to life and headed off to help clean up. Talk about durability! Want to see for yourself what a Doosan can do? Tell us you want a free demo.

Subsidy Loophole Closure Creates 28 Percent ‘Tax Increase’ PROVISION from page 1

The construction and agriculture equipment manufacturer was not the only company to notify the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of its bookkeeping loss — as required by law. Fellow equipment-maker Caterpillar announced a $100 million loss, characterizing the law’s pertinent provision as a “tax increase.” “Although this tax increase does not take effect until 2011,” the company’s SEC filing stated, “Caterpillar is required to recognize the full accounting impact in its financial statements in the period in which the act is signed.” Firms besides Deere and Caterpillar that have announced the impact of the law on their bottom lines include, among others, AT&T ($1 billion), Verizon ($970 million), 3M ($80 million), AK Steel ($31 million) and ethanol refinery owner Valero Energy ($20 million). The estimated total impact on

businesses is $4.5 billion, as calculated by Congress. Private sector estimates range as high as $14 billion.

A spokesman of Volvo Construction Equipment North America said that the company is not apt to know for some time how

Caterpillar terms a “tax increase,” a White House spokesman said just “closes a loophole.” Essentially, both views are correct.

The reason the “loophole” was signed into law in 2003 was to induce companies to keep their retirees in their own programs rather than dump them into Medicare Part D. However, some companies report no immediate consequences. Terex Corp. spokesman Michael Bazinet said the company is still looking at the healthcare law “to gauge overall impact. However, with regard to the Medicare issue for retirees that is affecting Cat and Deere, we will not face this impact.”

its “bottom line” will be affected. “We are currently still analyzing the legislation and our experts are working on evaluating the effects,” said Beatrice Cardon, vice president of corporate communication. The Provision The nature of the provision in question is disputed. What

The provision changes the tax code to eliminate a deduction, which causes some companies to have lower after-tax profits. The “loophole” was created knowingly by 2003 legislation that added a prescription drug benefit to Medicare. Because some companies already provided the drug benefit to their employees,

Congress worried that those companies would simply drop their plans and let the retirees move onto the Medicare plan, thus upping the cost to taxpayers. So a deal was struck: A 28 percent subsidy, which Washington gave companies for continuing to offer a drug benefit, would not be counted against the companies at tax time. In other words, a company was allowed to ignore the subsidy in its tax calculations and deduct 100 percent of funds spent on drug coverage. The new law eliminates that privilege, meaning that a company can only deduct 72 percent of its drug benefit expenditures at tax time. Though the provision doesn’t take effect till 2013, the SEC requires that such projected changes in liabilities and assets be reported as soon as changes are known so investors have a clear picture of a company’s worth going forward.

Firms Adjust Earnings Due to Reforms; Congress Bristles PROVISION from page 40

affected companies knew their financial statements had changed. The SEC filings followed. The reason the “loophole” was signed into law in 2003 was to induce companies to keep their retirees in their own programs rather than dump them into Medicare Part D. According to benefits consultant company Towers Watson, some 3,500 U.S. employers are eligible for the drug benefit subsidy, with more than 6 million retirees in company plans. Towers Watson researchers concluded that the federal subsidy costs taxpayers less than $700 per retiree — about half what it would cost taxpayers were the retiree on the Medicare drug plan. So taxing the incentive provision will reduce the value of the subsidy — the incentive — about a third. How many companies will drop their drug plan now depends on a variety of considerations, includ-

ing the new law’s overall cost to them. One study by a former Office of Management and Budget official predicts as many as 2 million retirees will be shifted to Medicare. “The 2003 legislation encouraged companies to stay in the game and continue to fund their retirees’ prescriptions,” Deere spokesman Ken Golden said when the company announced its $150 million charge against earnings. Neither Deere nor any other company has announced how long it will remain “in the game” now that the rules have been changed. The Reaction The company announcements were not well received in Washington by advocates of the healthcare law. In fact, Rep. Henry Waxman ordered chief executive officers of Deere and several other companies to testify before a hearing of his House Committee on Energy and Commerce. They were

The summons was generally — though not universally — seen as an act of political intimidation. It probably surprised executives at Caterpillar and nine other companies, including Verizon and Boeing, who had forewarned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry

Reid of the immediate consequence. In a December letter, the companies declared that passage of the bill would mean they would need to “immediately account for the present value of this tax increase” by adjusting their earnings statement. For his part, Congressman Waxman said he only wants to get at the truth. In the letter to James W. Owens, CEO of Caterpillar,

Waxman said he wants to ensure that the healthcare law “is implemented effectively and has no unintended consequences.” Responding to Caterpillar’s “assertions” that the law would cost the company immediately and jeopardize the ability of the company to continue its drug benefit plan for its retirees, Waxman wrote, “The new law is designed to expand coverage and bring down costs, so your assertions are a matter of concern. They also appear to conflict with independent analyses.” He cited some Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analysis to prove his point. The CBO citation does not impress David L. Kendall, professor of economics and finance at the University of Virginia at Wise. Kendall said he tells students in his classes to find one — one! — CBO forecast of the cost of a program that didn’t prove to be half of see PROVISION page 68

New Holland B Series Loader Backhoes Named in Top 100 The six models in the B Series were recognized in the heavy earthmoving category as some of the most innovative products.

Construction Equipment magazine named the New Holland Construction B Series loader backhoes as one of the Top 100 Products of 2009. The six models in the B Series (B90B, B95B, B95B TC, B95B LR, B110B and B115B) were recognized in the heavy earthmoving category as some of the most innovative products. The publication honored New Holland for the curved boom and one-touch flip-up hood featured on the new series of loader backhoes. The curved boom lowers the transport height by 6 in. (15 cm) and allows for greater digging forces and digging depths. The one-touch flip-up hood is easy to open, and provides wide, easy access for routine maintenance needs. Construction Equipment editors annually select the 100 most exciting product introductions of the year. Advances in technology, new product lines, and significant improvement to existing products are considered to determine the top 100. The six models in the B Series range in gross horsepower from 95 to 110 (71 to 82 kW) and feature Tier III-certified turbo-charged 4.5-L engines. The loader backhoes excel in tough digging conditions, with loader breakout forces ranging from 12,169 lbs. (5,520 kg) to 15,212 lbs. (6,900 kg). For more information, visit www.newholland.com.
