General Contractor of the Year

THE PENTA BUILDING GROUP

n The PENTA Building Group was founded 20 years ago in Las Vegas and has grown into a nationally recognized contractor, serving communities in Southern Nevada, California and Arizona. PENTA is all about people, and this drives every aspect of the way the company does business.

With 12 core values guiding the approach to each project— including accountability, honesty, fairness, teamwork and flexibility—PENTA completes high-quality projects while maintaining a safety rating well below the national average, and zero instances of owner-initiated litigation through more than $7 billion in construction and preconstruction services.

PENTA’s services span far and wide—building or renovating everything from concert venues, hotel properties and multipurpose arenas, to health care and education facilities, public works and parking structures. An industry leader in adopting new technologies, the company provides the highest level of performance on each project.

In the last year, PENTA completed 13 projects in Nevada alone. Its work on the Caesars Forum Convention Center, which is recognized as the Building Project of the Year (over $30 million), is one of its proudest accomplishments from this year.

2020 presented unique challenges, yet PENTA continued to rise above them and continue to work while protecting the organization’s biggest asset: their employees. COVID-19 forced radical change to the entire construction industry.

PENTA acted quickly to redefine processes at all job sites to assure that they could continue work, including mandatory health screenings of all employees prior to entering the job site, education for all employees on the CDC’s and OSHA’s COVID-19 risk mitigation practices and requirements, assigning a full-time COVID-19 risk mitigation officer at each site and hiring sanitation specialists to disinfect all common areas and shared tools/equipment.

This thoughtful mentality extends to each community where PENTA works. In 2019, PENTA’s charitable organization PENTA CARES donated more than $900,000 and organized 335 volunteers, who served approximately 3,000 hours with more than 40 nonprofits. Funds and volunteer efforts conducted by employees and family members directly contribute to organizations that provide aid to issues such as food insecurity, veteran services, homelessness and childhood cancer. PENTA has donated over $8 million to 350 charities since 2000.

Dean Construction, Inc. has provided an integrated source of consulting, cost analysis, construction, operations and project management services for major commercial projects in the Las Vegas area. It has managed billions of dollars in contracts and overseen the construction of some of the most recognizable, high-profile megaresorts and high-rise condominiums in Las Vegas, including the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Palms Place and Cannery Casinos.

In order to work efficiently and ensure the quality and craftmanship that M.J. Dean has become known for, the company self-performs much of its own work.

This saves clients’ money and reinforces the commitment to client satisfaction.

Most recently, this included several aspects of the Hard Rock expansion project that came in under budget and ahead of schedule—an uncommon feat in the construction industry.

Through business ethics based on the highest level of integrity, M.J. Dean has been able to build one of the largest pools of experienced, professional and reliable employees, subcontractors and vendors in the Las Vegas area. With more than 1,000 local employees and a core management staff representing some of the best in the business, M.J. Dean has earned its reputation as one of the best, offering precision construc-

tion services. The company boasts an extensive safety program, where its focus continues to be the successful completion of every project on time and within budget, while adhering to the strictest standards of safety for all employees on site.

M.J. Dean is currently underway on the Madison Square Garden Sphere, a new venue that is projected to create 3,500 jobs while under construction.

Once completed, the venue is expected to support well over 4,000 jobs annual-

ly—helping our local economy continue to grow.

M.J. Dean also is committed to giving back to the community and supports various organizations and social causes, including Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada, the American Cancer Society Construction vs. Cancer event, and is currently completing a building remodel for Cupcake Girls, an organization that helps sex trafficking survivors rehabilitate, a project valued in excess of $500,000.

Safest General Contractor of the Year

MARTIN-HARRIS CONSTRUCTION

n From its laborers to project managers, Martin-Harris Construction fosters a company culture focused on safety.

MHC has been committed to keeping its workplace as safe as possible for over four decades and believes that project excellence is only achievable when safe practices are learned, drilled and followed every day.

The MHC safety team and on-site supervisors are trained to manage incidents for the benefit of its associates, as well as their families. MHC uses software technology for site safety audits, which are conducted daily by the site superintendent and once a week by the safety team. Management is trained not only to inspect the job site, but outside the fence as well for public safety. Every worker and visitor must sit through a site-specific safety orientation prior to coming on-site, and daily activity hazard analyses are required by the site teams.

This year has also introduced new

safety concerns with COVID-19. MHC president Guy Martin joined a group of construction industry stakeholders assembled by Gov. Steve Sisolak to develop best practices in protecting against the coronavirus. Key company leaders and the MHC safety department immediately developed a COVID-19 Action Plan and assembled a “Manager’s Roundtable” to proactively address potential job site issues as a result of the virus.

Attention to detail and proper planning allowed MHC to effectively continue work during a sensitive time, particularly on the high-profile Las Vegas Convention Center Phase Two. The facility, which is nearly 60 years old, is undergoing an upgrade and expansion to add an additional 1.4 million square feet to the facility and create a striking new look for the building. This project will feature the latest technology and convention services from around the world.

Snell & Wilmer is pleased to support the Nevada Contractors Association and congratulates the winners of the Contractor of the Year Awards.

U.S. 95 REALIGNMENT PROJECT GOLDFIELD, NV AMES CONSTRUCTION

n The U.S. 95 Realignment Project near Goldfield, Nevada, was completed by Ames Construction to realign 2.5 miles of the existing highway in preparation of the Gemfield Mine site. The project goals included completing all phases safely with no incidents, achieving substantial completion on an accelerated time frame, minimizing impacts to the traveling public, complying with all applicable environmental requirements and all federal, state and county laws and ordinances, and obtaining all necessary approvals for acceptance by NDOT for the completed work.

Because of the location, Ames encountered several challenges throughout the course of the project, including access to construction water, project staffing, material logistics, existing utilities and on-site raw materials, as well as completing final paving during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to address this, Ames developed a project-

Diverse General Contractor of the Year

KOR BUILDING GROUP

n Construction-industry veteran Rebecca Fountain founded general contracting firm KOR Building Group in 2013 with a focus on residential renovations, government contracting, hotel remodels and commercial construction. Perhaps of equal importance, Fountain built KOR on

specific COVID-19 Safety Mitigation Plan to ensure that the work was completed safely and without impacts to the local community. Ames Construction was able to complete the project with approximately 39,000 hours worked, not including subcontractors, with no lost-time accidents.

The project was on time, nearly $2.5 million under budget and will have a direct impact on the local economy.

“The project is expected to drive the creation of hundreds of direct and indirect jobs in the region, including about 200 contract workers for varying periods during mine construction and approximately 150 employees during the project’s mine life,” said Andrew Conover, director of execution projects at Gemfield Resources. “The increase in income earnings from the future Gemfield Mine will be a major economic benefit to the local economy.”

a foundation of inclusivity and diversity.

In an industry that is traditionally male-dominated, KOR is among one of the few construction firms recognized as a WBENC-certified Woman-Owned Business and has achieved additional certifications including DBE, ESB, SBE, WBE and WOSB. The company is committed to working with diverse subcontractors, suppliers and professional service firms, and has received local and regional acclaim for its work on behalf of clients such as The Venetian, The Palazzo and Excalibur, as well as projects at McCarran International Airport for

the Department of Aviation, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, Hudson News and Jamba Juice.

KOR completed 29 tenant improvement and remodeling projects in the last year, including with the TSA on its Defense Priority Allocation System at McCarran Airport, and design and planning within the Excalibur Food Court with the Feel Good Brands corporation.

In the community, KOR’s charitable contributions include construction support and material donations for local nonprofits Veteran’s Village and the Las Vegas Rescue Mission.

VETERANS VILLAGE PROUD MARY FOGERTY CONTAINER HOME PROJECT BUILDERS UNITED

CONGRAT ULATIONS TO THE WINNERS!

n The proudest moment of the past year for Builders United was opening The Proud Mary Fogerty Container Home Project by Veterans Village. The project was the first officially permitted use of shipping containers as permanent homes in Southern Nevada and was fully funded and built by support and donations from local companies. “This project demonstrates our appreciation for our veterans, our passion for Las Vegas and our commitment to the communities that we serve,� said Kallen Kildea, president of Builders United.

With more than 25 years of experience, Builders United is a diverse team of professional builders guided by the principles of high performance, dedication to the craft and innovative ingenuity. It has completed over 1,500 large and specialty projects. The company leverages education, technol-

ogy and systems to deliver a superior customer experience, with a focus on development, ground-up construction, tenant improvement, renovation and remodeling services for commercial, medical, government and hospitality clients.

For the Veterans Village Proud Mary Fogerty Container Home project, Builders United donated the build-out and placement of 10 homes that were built from 160- to 320-square-foot shipping containers. Each home has handicap-accessible interiors featuring a full kitchenette, bathroom with shower, dining area and sleeping quarters.

The entire village runs on solar power, and each unit has full plumbing, HVAC and electrical services. Builders United hopes that this small container home village serves as a prototype for sustainable, low-cost, affordable housing units in other cities.

PACCAR PARTS DISTRIBUTION CENTER MARTIN-HARRIS CONSTRUCTION

n The PACCAR Parts Distribution Center in North Las Vegas, completed by Martin-Harris Construction, sits on 18 acres and consists of a 253,000-square-foot distribution area that includes a 20,000-square-foot mezzanine and an 8,900-square-foot office. The project site features an exterior covered courtyard adjacent to the office break room, desert landscaping, architectural split face CMU site walls with steel picket fence and vehicle-access sliding steel electrically operated site gates.

There were several considerations during the design and construction process to ensure high-performance sustainability, including the utilization of fly ash in the concrete for all tilt panel walls, slab on grade, concrete paving and site concrete. Another key factor was utilizing LED fixtures

and low-flow plumbing fixtures for minimal light pollution and water consumption. Lastly, a 300-kilowatt photovoltaic solar array (760 high-efficiency solar panels) was installed on the warehouse roof to help reduce energy consumption.

During the preconstruction process, Martin-Harris collaborated with the project stakeholders, architect and design consultants to address issues related to design and constructability, project planning, scheduling, logistics planning, cost analysis and budget control, project management, health and public safety, and quality assurance and control. This design-build approach resulted in minimal challenges during construction and illustrates how proper planning prior to construction leads to project success for all stakeholders.

Building Project of the Year (over $30 million)

CAESARS FORUM CONVENTION CENTER THE PENTA BUILDING GROUP n Caesars Forum Convention Center, constructed by The PENTA Building Group, is a 550,000 square-foot LEED Gold Certified conference facility. The $365 million conference center sits on 24.5 acres and is the first facility of its size built on one level. It includes the two largest pillar-less ballrooms in North America—each at 110,000 square feet with 315-foot clear span trusses. Additionally, the facility includes more than 300,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, two 40,000-square-foot ballrooms, six state-of-the-art boardrooms, 100,000 square feet of multipurpose outdoor space known as The FORUM Plaza and three pedestrian bridges.

Caesars Forum had an incredibly aggressive construction deadline. The 18-month project was accelerated to 15 months due to a six-month permitting delay. To accommodate the expedited timeline, PENTA conducted work 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This required constant communication with the client and subcontractors to coordinate schedules and ensure tasks were completed safely and as efficiently as possible. The forum can hold the equivalent of seven football fields. The sheer massiveness of the project required a safety program of the same scale. Having a robust program was PENTA’s top priority from Day One. The strict compliance to

NOTEWORTHY FAC T S A B O U T CONSTRUCTION:

these high-level safety standards resulted in just six recordable incidents, with zero lost time. The project was completed on budget and ahead of schedule.

With the goal of a LEED Silver rating, the design of the building’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems—in addition to equipment and material selections—were favorable to efficiency and environmentally conscious products.

Material selections included those with low VOC emissions, locally sourced materials and LEED-certified products. On the construction side, PENTA implemented a waste management program to recycle construction waste generated onsite, reuse asphalt materials removed during demolition and recycle steel materials demolished for bridge construction.

Additionally, an indoor air-quality management program was implemented to monitor and minimize construction activities from impacting air quality during construction and protect HVAC ductwork from construction dust. PENTA was able to obtain the point requirements for LEED Silver and acquired additional points in other areas, such as providing a complete air flush of the HVAC system over a specified amount of time. These additional points allowed PENTA to ultimately achieve a LEED Gold rating for the project.

KHS&S CONTRACTORS n Safety is a core value at KHS&S Contractors, as demonstrated by consistent risk innovation, comprehensive training available to all employees, leadership support, and the role modeling of all safety policies and procedures every day by each employee.

KHS&S is committed to providing safety and health-related orientation and training for employees at all levels within the organization.

The company maintains and supports a program to educate and familiarize employees with safety and health procedures, rules and safe-work practices. Training resources have been developed using company analytical data, industry-leading criteria and site-specific information.

Its safety system is built around three main concepts: management support, training and education, and involvement. KHS&S recognizes the strong correlation between these focal areas and safety performance. This holistic approach to safety requires the partici-

pation of senior management, field and project leadership, and line employees.

An example of safety protocol in action occurred during the Wynn Convention Expansion project, a sprawling facility where KHS&S was challenged to provide a safe work environment for 350 employees. While management was present at various locations on-site, additional support was provided when the task was unique, the placement of work added additional risk and/or fatigue was a recognized hazard for the crew.

As a result of the team’s efforts, KHS&S had one of the lowest safety rates on the project.

Each of KHS&S’ operations share the same pledge to a safe work environment, resulting in reduced accidents and incident frequency—and lower insurance premiums. These reduced premiums allow the company to save capital and invest back into its employees’ futures. To KHS&S, safety culture is more than just a number; its safety program improves innovation, productivity and morale.

KEITH MANTIS FASTENERS INC.

n Longtime industry leader Keith Mantis founded and was the principal owner of Fasteners Inc. A true entrepreneur with a tireless work ethic, Mantis started San Diego Fasteners in a storage unit in San Diego in 1987. In 1993, Mantis founded Fasteners Inc. Southwestern Supply in Las Vegas and grew the company to one of the construction supply industry’s largest and most well-respected organizations.

At the core of Mantis’ personal and professional beliefs was the commitment to supporting and inspiring the success of others. He joined Nevada Contractors Association in 1993 and supported numerous NCA charitable and educational

causes over the past 27 years. Specifically, Mantis donated to the Michael T. Martin Memorial Scholarship, and supported the NCA educational House of Cards event and Construction Career Day. He also supported NCA events and encouraged his employees to participate in NCA committees.

Mantis’ leadership was not only visible through his dedication within his organizations and the construction industry, but also with his presence and deliberate actions. He remained active in his firms until his passing in April 2020, dedicated to supporting his son Michael Mantis’ transition to leadership of the family operation.
