AGC San Diego and the Engineering General Contractors
Association to Join Forces
The Associated General Contractors of America San Diego Chapter, Inc.
(AGC) President Dave Carlin, Soltek Pacific, and Engineering General
Contractors Association (EGCA) President Kyle Nelson, Cass
Construction, announced Friday afternoon, May 25th that the AGC and the
EGCA have agreed to a strategic partnership that will result in the
assimilation of the EGCA and the AGC. All EGCA members will become
AGC San Diego and AGC of America members effective July 1st, 2012. A
memorandum of understanding has been agreed to that creates a long term
structure that will utilize the best services of each association to better serve
the AGC and EGCA memberships.
Since 1952, EGCA has represented general engineering contractors and
affiliate members involved in doing sewer, water, storm drain, utilities,
grading, paving, asphalt, concrete, and road building for public and private
owners. AGC has also represented contractors involved in this sector of the
industry. In a joint statement, Presidents Carlin and Nelson stated that this
partnership will strengthen the representation of member firms of both
associations and with public agencies and private owners. They indicated
that in recent years the industry has faced many complex regulatory
challenges. It is anticipated that these challenges will only increase in the
future. This partnership will allow the industry to face these challenges with
a unified, single voice that will be stronger and more focused. Both
Presidents also emphasized that the partnership will allow the industry to
work in a more efficient fashion with the public sector to ensure that our
political leaders are committed to increasing investment in our area's
infrastructure.
Carlin and Nelson praised the committee of members and staff from the two
A & D GC, Inc
associations that worked for several months to structure the assimilation. In

within the last month. On Friday, the contractor members of the EGCA
voted overwhelming to approve the MOU. The MOU includes the following
provisions:

2. Current EGCA President Kyle Nelson, Cass Construction, will hold a
special seat on the AGCSD Board of Directors for the next two years.
EGCA members currently serving on the EGCA Board of Directors will be
invited to join a newly structured AGC Engineering General Contractors
Council (EGCC) which will replace the AGC's General Engineering Council.
The EGCC will also include AGC members. It will have the responsibility to
oversee the AGC's efforts to serve all members that are involved in the
engineering/infrastructure portion of the industry. The EGCC will also
nominate individuals to serve on the AGC Board of Directors.
3. EGCA's Executive Director Debbie Day will serve as the AGCSD's Vice
President Vice President Engineering Construction and Industry Relations.
She will have the responsibility to staff the EGCC. Debbie will staff a number
of committees that deal with public infrastructure construction, as well as
other committees as needed. She will report to AGCSD EVP Jim Ryan. This
will allow AGCSD's Brad Barnum to focus on Government Relations and to
serve a number of other AGC Committees, including the AGC General
Building Contractors Council.
4. EGCA's current events, activities, and publications etc., will continue. All
AGCSD members will be encouraged to attend these events and activities.
All EGCA members that become part of the AGC will be encouraged to
attend all AGC events and activities as well. The MOU recognizes the
importance of keeping the EGCA culture intact and this provision of the
MOU is designed to do just that.
5. The MOU recognizes that the entire range of AGCSD benefits will be
available to EGCA members effective July 1, 2012. This includes the AGC
Online Plan Room, the AGC Health and Pension Trusts, all committee
participation, the AGC apprenticeship Trust, AGC labor relations, AGC of
America services, etc.
6. The agreement is subject to a trial period. EGCA's current Board will
meet on an as needed basis to review the agreement as well as oversee
certain EGCA funds and assets. After the trial period, the intent is to merge
the associations if the arrangement is providing the expected benefits to the
members of EGCA and AGC.
A number of meetings will be scheduled during the next month to ensure
that the assimilation is completed in a seamless manner. The Board of
Directors of both Associations look forward to better serving the entire
industry as a result of the AGC/EGCA partnership.
