2009 Eagle Award Winner
If Your Business Has Just 15 Vehicles, That’s Still A Fleet.
And managing that fleet is taking time away from your business. At Enterprise Fleet Management, we specialize in
fleets like yours so you can spend your time doing what you do best. We’ll assign a dedicated account team that will
design a program that’s right for you. A program that takes advantage of services like vehicle disposal, loss control
coordination and maintenance plans. Put your work week back to work.

PRESIDENT'S PERSPECTIVE
Report from the ABC Legislative Conference…
On June 15 and 16, Florida
ABC members and staff
went to Washington,
DC to participate in
discussions in the National
Board of Directors
meeting and to visit Capitol Hill with a
message to our elected officials that we are
concerned about the direction the majority
party is taking the country.
Here are some of the issues we discussed and
the ABC position on them:
EFCA
ABC strongly opposes any effort to overturn
established NLRB procedures that protect the
rights of employees to fair union elections
through secret ballot voting. ABC believes
that there is no room for compromise on this
legislation and calls on Congress to vote down
all “compromise” versions of this egregious bill.
ENERGY
ABC believes America needs a comprehensive
national energy policy that reduces the
country’s dependence on foreign sources of
energy by increasing domestic production
while putting in place standards that will
help conserve domestic natural resources
and lessen the detrimental impact domestic
energy production has on the environment.
ABC opposes any legislative proposals that
aim to impose “cap and trade” provisions that
will destroy American jobs while dramatically
increasing the cost of energy for every person
and business in the United States.
HEALTH CARE REFORM
ABC believes that health care is best
administered on free market principles and
furthermore, we do not believe that enrolling
millions more people in a broken health care
system constitutes effective reform. ABC
strongly opposes the massive health care
reform legislation passed by Congress in
March of this year. ABC objects to health
care coverage mandates on employers or
individuals — mandates that will result in
premium increases making insurance more
expensive for employers and employees. ABC
also opposes the tens of billions in new taxes
on employers included in this legislation.
GOVERNMENT MANDATED PROJECT LABOR
AGREEMENTS (PLAs)
ABC opposes government-mandated project
labor agreements. PLAs limit the number of
4
BUILDING CENTRAL FLORIDA JULY 2010
bidders on construction projects, increase
costs and discriminate against the vast majority
(97% in Florida) of the construction workforce
that chooses not to join a union, denying them
an opportunity to work on projects being paid
for by their own tax dollars.
INCREASING ACCESS TO CAPITAL
Access to capital is a major concern within
the construction industry, which has been
severely impacted by the economic downturn.
The national unemployment rate for the
construction industry is over 20 percent,
with a total job loss of 998,000 in 2009. ABC
members called on the Obama administration
and members of Congress to take action
in order to increase the amount of capital
available for new construction projects.
The freeze on lending for private sector
construction projects must be addressed
immediately so ABC members with viable, low
risk projects/contracts can commence work.
DISCLOSE ACT
This bill was introduced by the Chairman of
the Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD),
and former Chair of the Democratic Senatorial
Campaign Committee, Sen. Chuck Schumer
(D-NY). It was introduced in the wake of the
Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v.
Federal Election Commission, which allows
corporations and unions to spend as much as
they want on political advertising. The DISCLOSE
Act is intended to muzzle business and business
associations prior to elections while allowing
labor unions free reign to spend millions on
political races. The bill will also force businesses
and business associations to disclose all of
their donors if they are running political ads.
(You might have noticed that two of the most
powerful lobbying organizations, National Rifle
Association and AARP, have recently cut deals to
exempt themselves from this bill.)
3) Even if ABC did not solicit specifically
for independent expenditures, but used
unrestricted donor funds for such activity, the
identity of the contributors of $600 or more
would have to be disclosed.
4) Even if ABC did not solicit specifically for
electioneering communications, but used
unrestricted donor funds for such activity, the
identity of the contributors of $1,000 or more
would have to be disclosed.
5) ABC could choose to have a segregated
account for campaign activity, and only those
contributing $6,000 or more to that account
in connection with independent expenditures,
or $10,000 or more in connection with
electioneering communications, would be
disclosed (as opposed to $600 or $1,000 to
general treasury funds)
6) Since ABC has made electioneering
communications in the past, anybody
that makes an unrestricted donation to
ABC (including member dues) "shall be
deemed to have made a disbursement for
an electioneering communication." This
designation can carry its own reporting
obligations with it for the donor.
7) The only way to avoid being disclosed is
for the donor to notify ABC, in writing, that
it may not use the donation, payment, or
transfer for campaign-related activity."
(Meaning the funds cannot be used for
independent expenditures or electioneering
communications."
In sum, this bill would go a long way towards
preventing business having a say in the politics
of America. If it is bad for the NRA or AARP, it
is bad for everyone. Giving unions and liberal
organizations an advantage over business
will continue to give them a greater voice in
Congress and the White House.
1) If ABC were to solicit funds for the purpose
of engaging in independent expenditures then
ABC would have to disclose the name of the
contributors who contributed $600 or more for
that purpose.
2) If ABC were to solicit funds for the purpose
of engaging in electioneering communications
(which would cover ads mentioning candidates
120 days before the general under the House
version) then ABC would have to disclose the
name of the contributors who contributed
$1,000 or more for that purpose.

Construction Backlog
up 4.5 Percent in First
Quarter of 2010
WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 25, 2010)
Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) today
released its Construction Backlog Indicator (CBI)
for the first quarter of 2010 showing a 4.5 percent increase in construction backlog orders to
6.07 months, up from 5.81 months in the fourth
quarter of 2009. Over the two-month period
from February to March of this year, CBI shot up
17 percent and now stands at 6.05 months.
While the CBI rose in all areas of the country
except the West from February to March, the
Northeastern United States is the only region to
see a higher backlog when compared to March
2009. CBI is a forward-looking indicator that measures the amount of construction work under
contract to be completed in the future.

"The fact that the CBI is on the rise illustrates that
the improvements recently seen in various other
indicators, including construction spending, will
continue through much of the balance of 2010,"
said ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu. "However, the overall impact of the recession may not
be at an end or approaching an end. It remains
too soon to tell whether the current momentum
will continue through 2011.
"As an indicator, the nonresidential construction
industry tends to lag the overall economy by 12
to 24 months. With the broader economy having
been in recovery for the better part of a year, and
with stimulus spending still having an impact, the
expectation is that for now, backlog will remain
stable or better in the months ahead," Basu said.
"Still, there are many forces at work that suggest
that the sector's recovery may not be sustained
as stimulus monies are steadily drawn down and
commercial construction remains weak due to
high vacancy rates and tight credit," Basu said.

INDUSTRY UPDATE
Regional Highlights
•
The Northeast presently enjoys the highest construction backlog at 7.31 months
in March 2010.
•
The South and Middle States have also
been experiencing a rise in backlog, but
are still down compared to the same
time last year.
•
In the West, backlog stands at 5.76
months in March 2010, roughly the same
level as in August 2009, and has yet to
demonstrate significant momentum
.Regional
Analysis
"Overall, the nation's nonresidential construction
industry is in the early stages of a rebound, and
this is apparent in CBI statistics for the Northeast,
South and Middle States. However, it appears
momentum has stalled in the West, which may
be due in part to the prevalence of serious state
and local fiscal issues, as well as weak housing
market performance," said Basu.
Industry Highlights
•
Backlog has been roughly flat for several
months in the infrastructure category,
posting at 9.33 months in March 2010.
•
Backlog in both the heavy industrial and
commercial/institutional categories have
been on the rise, coming in respectively
at 6.61 months and 6.31 months in
March 2010.

"Construction backlog is no longer falling, and in
fact, was rising during the first quarter of 2010 –
a sign that nonresidential construction's rebound
is spreading beyond government-financed projects and is increasingly private-sector motivated.
It is important to note that the relative flatness
of construction backlog in the infrastructure category shows that much of the money associated
with the stimulus package has been obligated
and is already reflected in backlog," Basu said.

INDUSTRY UPDATE
Highlights by Company Size
•
Those firms with annual revenue less
than $30 million, those with revenue
between $50 million and $100 million,
and companies with revenue in excess
of $100 million reported the greatest
backlog increase in March 2010 compared to the previous month.
•
Firms reporting revenue between $50
million and $100 million saw their backlog rise more than one month in March
2010 and now stands at 8 months compared to February 2010.
•
In contrast, firms with annual revenue
between $30 million and $50 million
saw their backlog decrease 0.5 months
from February to March.
Company Size Analysis
"Average backlog is now at its lowest level
among firms with annual revenue in both the
$50 million to $75 million category and the
$75 million to $100 million category. Many of
these firms appear to be general contractors
that continue to be underbid by larger firms
with greater resources and greater capacity
to undertake projects with little or no profit
margin built into their bids. In addition, larger
firms may also be more likely to maintain productive banking relationships, allowing them
to more nimbly access available contractual
opportunities," said Basu. "As for contractors
in the $30 million and under category, the impact of the federal stimulus package, as well
as an improving economy, is channeling down
to them through subcontracting."

“Mr. Smith,
the White House
is calling.” In 1991, receiving calls and shaking hands with bigwigs was nothing unusual
for Lake Mechanical Chairman and CEO John
B. Smith. That year, as the national president
of Associated Builders and Contractors, John
shared the table with actor and advocate
Charlton Heston as the pair testified before a
Congressional committee about wages and labor in a merit-shop environment. In a separate
trip to the nation’s Capitol, John led a delegation of ABC representatives to meet President
George H.W. Bush in the Oval Office.
While the audience with President Bush was
a seminal moment in John’s nearly 50-year
career in the plumbing, piping and HVAC industry, he knew for the President it was just
one of hundreds of brief White House meetand-greets the elder Bush would host during
his term. Accordingly, John didn’t expect much
consequence from the small, personal gift he
presented to President Bush. It was a CD of
piano music by John’s son, the internationally acclaimed concert pianist Tzimon Barto.
The President showed genuine interest in the
CD and accepted it with graciousness as the
ABC group finished its brief visit to the White
House. John chalked the meeting up as both a
personal and professional success.
With deep Central
Florida roots, 2010 ABC
National Contractor of
the Year, John Smith,
has brought his heartfelt
advocacy to the very
highest levels.
and not even from the involvement of his own,
successful son. Rather, what has nurtured the
memory in John’s mind for almost two decades
is the fact that the benefit of John’s actions fell
not to himself, but to the younger generation
coming up behind him. Whether that next generation is in the person of his own child or the
newly hired apprentice at any ABC member’s
shop, what has driven John throughout his
storied construction career has been the desire
to give tomorrow’s leaders the best possible
chance at success and to do what’s best for the
industry today so that success is worth achieving in the construction trade tomorrow.
key to success. He flourished in the environment, as did his business, and by the time John
was graduating from Eustis High School in
1957, the company had become a local institution busy with residential and light commercial
projects throughout Lake County.
Perhaps because he’d spent 12 years learning
in sweltering Florida classrooms without it,
John was eager to study and add air conditioning and other HVAC services to the company’s
roster. That led John to North Carolina State
University, then one of the country’s only colleges to offer a degree program in heating and
air conditioning, and John returned to Florida
with just such a degree in hand.
John also returned newly married to his highschool sweetheart, Evelyn, a graduate of crosstown rival Umatilla High, who had joined John
in North Carolina to wed and complete her own
college studies in 1961. A few years later, Lake
Mechanical (originally called Lake Plumbing) was
officially incorporated with Barto at the helm,
John in the field and Evelyn keeping the books.
By this time, Barto had become a major advocate for merit-based bidding and contracting, a
philosophy he deeply instilled in his son. John
combined that ideal with his exposure to professionally developed construction education
and training programs while in college. The
His role in redefining how new workers are recruited and trained in a merit-shop environment is one
of the many factors that led to John’s selection as the 2010 ABC National Contractor of the Year.
Despite President Bush’s warmth and his own
positive impression of the event, John was
stunned when his secretary buzzed in to say
the most famous phone line in America was
holding. After all, despite John’s position then
as the de facto head of the nation’s free market construction movement, not many calls
from the President’s office ever find their way
down to sleepy Eustis, FL, where John holds
court from his Lake Mechanical headquarters,
nearly on the spot where his father first founded the business in 1945.
“I picked up, and the President’s secretary
was on the line asking for Tzimon’s address,” John remembers. Apparently, President Bush had listened to the CD and been
impressed. He wanted to send Tzimon a
special note of congratulations.
“Sure enough, Tzimon later received a very kind,
handwritten note from the President wishing
him well and continued success. It was really
something, and it meant a lot to Tzimon.”
To hear him tell the story, you can’t help but
realize John’s pride in the entire affair that
comes not from his own encounter with history,
18
BUILDING CENTRAL FLORIDA JULY 2010
Much has been said and written about the
construction training and education curricula
designed in large measure by John. His role in
redefining how new workers are recruited and
trained in a merit-shop environment is one of
the many factors that led to John’s selection
as the 2010 ABC National Contractor of the
Year. The roots of his commitment to training
and his conviction in the free-market economy,
however, were planted long before ABC ever
knew his name.
Going to School
John’s father, Barto Smith, worked as a plumber and pipe-fitter during World War II, mostly
in union-dominated states like Washington
and Tennessee. At the conclusion of the war,
Barto received a call from his brother informing him that a new gas plant was being built
in the tiny Central Florida town of Eustis, and
the project was in desperate need of a good
plumber. John was only six-years-old when his
parents decided to pursue the job by moving
to Florida in 1945 and starting a small family
plumbing and pipefitting business.
For Barto, it was his first experience in which
worker aptitude, not union affiliation, was the
two principles would join to propel John to the
very top of ABC and the industry itself and lay
the foundations for the legacy he will eventually leave behind.
John was on the original board of the ABC
Central Florida Chapter at its inception in 1973
and quickly began developing new apprentice
training programs for the benefit of all ABC
Central Florida members.
“The philosophy is simple,” John explains. “The
young men and women we invest in and train
are much more likely to be loyal to us, and
their loyalty will help our businesses grow.”
John served as Central Florida Chapter president in ’77 and went on to become ABC Florida
president in 1979. While leading the state operation, John expanded his training programs and
laid the groundwork for what would eventually
become the National Center for Construction
Education and Research (NCCER).
On the merit-shop front, John remembers
campaigning for the repeal of Florida’s “Little
Davis-Bacon Act” during his tenure as state
president. The act required that a “prevailing
wage” price floor be applied to all workers’
Tall

wages on state-funded construction and development projects, just as the original 1931
Davis-Bacon Act requires for federally-funded
jobs to this day. ABC Florida was at the forefront of the effort to open state projects to
free-market competition, and John remembers
one very late night with his board members in
Tallahassee as the act’s repeal came down to
the wire with then-Governor Bob Graham.
Already passed by the state legislature, the bill
to repeal the act had been sitting on Governor
Graham’s desk for some time, with the governor wavering between “sign” and “veto.” Eventually, the deadline to veto the bill had come,
and if Graham didn’t act, the repeal would go
into effect without his signature. John recalls
waiting up until midnight of deadline day with
members of the ABC Florida board holed up
in a Tallahassee hotel, listening for word of a
possible last-second veto. It never came, nor
did any action by Graham either way, and the
repeal went into effect without the governor
ever putting pen to paper.
New Clients, New
Opportunities
Despite his advocacy and attention to both
merit-shop issues and next-generation training and development, John’s eyes were never
far from his own business. The company grew
steadily through the ‘70s and ‘80s as postMickey-Mouse expansion throughout Central
Florida meant plenty of work for plumbing
and HVAC contractors. Plenty of work, that is,
except on Disney property, where bids were
accepted only from union-affiliated companies.
That all changed in 1987 when Walt Disney
World opened its first construction project to
free-market bids. The project was the original
20
BUILDING CENTRAL FLORIDA JULY 2010
Dolphin Hotel, and Lake Mechanical won the
bid for plumbing services. Disney has since become one of Lake Mechanical’s premier clients.
The company has provided plumbing, piping
and/or HVAC services to the All-Star Sports
Resort, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and the Port
Orleans Resort, just to name a few. Other highprofile projects included the Hyatt Hotel at
Orlando International Airport and the Martin
Marietta headquarters building, a job that was
aggressively picketed by union workers. Lake
Mechanical also became the go-to contractor
for Lake County’s renovation of schools and
other government buildings. John even oversaw the complete remodel of his alma mater,
Eustis High.
“It was an old WPA (Work Projects Administration) building and really well built,” John says
with a flash of old school pride. “They originally wanted to tear a lot of it down, but once we
got in there and saw the craftsmanship, the
county realized it made a very good hurricane
shelter, so we remodeled around much of the
existing structure, and it’s still a great shelter
to this day.” And yes, Lake Mechanical made
sure the air conditioning system at Eustis High
was state-of-the-art.
The 1990s saw John’s tenure as national ABC
president and the culmination of his efforts
to standardize training with the NCCER. In
partnership with several of the nation’s largest
contractors, ABC took many of the training curricula developed by John and his Florida team
and created a national standardized education
and certification program for plumbers, electricians, welders, pipe-fitters and more. NCCER
was formed and eventually partnered with the
University of Florida to incorporate its program
into the school’s curriculum for future degreeseeking construction professionals.
In 1995, after 50 years at the helm of Lake
Mechanical, John’s father, Barto, retired and
John took over as company president. Evelyn
was still by his side watching over the books,
though she sprinkled in two decades of service
on the Eustis City Commission and four different terms as Mayor.
More big projects followed for Lake Mechanical. UCF’s Bright House Networks Stadium has
the company to thank for its plumbing and
HVAC work. Lake Mechanical also worked on
the new emergency room at Halifax Medical
center in Daytona, now the largest ER facility
in the nation.
Today, as John enters his 71st year, Lake Mechanical is weathering this periodic slowdown
in the construction business with timely projects at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando. A new
company president has taken the day-to-day
reins while John continues on as Chairman
and CEO. “I guess that means I’m supposed
to retire,” John says with a laugh, referring to
his own plan to leave Lake Mechanical in good
hands when he finally does decide to hang up
the work boots.
“Every day, I see new people coming into this
industry, learning the right way to do things,
and that’s what keeps me involved,” he says.
“We believe that the best-trained people, working in an open and free marketplace is what’s
best for the industry and what’s best for America. Just like my dad, and just like the people
who took a chance and started this organization called ABC, we strive to do what’s right for
the industry every time. Not just what’s right
for us, but what’s right for the entire industry.
We have to make sure we leave this business
strong and full of opportunity for those who
are coming in after us.”

McCree General Contractors & Architects, and Williams Company.
An article highlighting each firm, and describing the way they are setting their training
programs apart from the rest of the industry
will be showcased in a different Building Central Florida edition throughout 2010. Below,
we’ve highlighted Balfour Beatty Construction
and how its Florida Division Human Resources
Department was cited for training and management excellence.
Seven years ago, Balfour Beatty Construction
offered two programs for employees – a basic
technical training series for entry level and
seasoned engineers, and a leadership program
for upper management. Senior leadership
recognized the need for more in-depth employee training, and brought
on board Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Louyse Poirier, Ph.
D., SPHR. Today, Balfour Beatty Construction offers more than 25 classes
focusing on both technical and behavioral attributes. The classes offered
focus on training managers and motivating employees.
“When I came on board with BBC, we had a 28% turnover rate, 92%
of which was voluntary – meaning people wanted to leave. Today, we
have 13.81% turnover, and less than 30% of that is voluntary.” Poirier
stated, “A lot of the reasons behind those numbers have to do with
preparing employees through training and educational classes. It helps
motivate employees to want to work hard. And, I’m a firm believer
if you take care of your employees, they will in turn, take care of the
business.” The significant increase in training and development classes
from seven years ago to today, represents the firm’s drive to develop
top performers in the marketplace.
Poirer has a Ph.D. in Leadership and Education and holds a number of
professional training certifications. She and her HR team of four are responsible for facilitating and supporting most of the management and
leadership development programs offered at Balfour Beatty Construction. When the decision was made to expand the training opportunities
for employees, the first steps were to conduct a Training Needs Assessment and an Employee Engagement Survey. The Employee Engagement Survey, answered by all 275 Florida employees, probed about
current management techniques and relationships, as well as technical limitations. When the results were tallied, Poirier realized several
major weaknesses in their training program. She, along with her team
and company executives, developed a plan to provide top-notch training geared toward employees specific jobs. Since each job requires a
different skill set, this included breaking down the barriers between
entry-level, mid-level, and upper management; as well as operations
vs. support.
Today, each class offered by BBC is limited to
a certain number of attendees and focuses
specifically on the employee’s skill set needed,
either technically or behaviorally, for their
specific job level. The courses encourage participation and feedback, and often times build
upon other classes.
It’s clear by the valuable resources, time, and
energy invested, Balfour Beatty Construction
places development of employees as a top
priority. They focus on offering classes that
teach employees in operations and support
positions the technical and behavioral practices to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. This dedicated
focus on employee development is in line with the company’s vision to
significantly change the industry. “And the Five-Star T.E.A.M. Award is
solid proof that BBC is moving in that direction.

Certified Slings Celebrates 52 Years

BUILDING CENTRAL FLORIDA JULY 2010
C
ertified Slings, Inc. is celebrating fifty-two
years of continued service to commercial,
municipal and government defense customers. The company which began supplying
wire rope and rigging hardware to Central
Florida in 1958 is a text book example of how
a company can successfully integrate new
ideas with older solid management principals
to create a high energy work environment
focused on quality, service and team.
Solid Foundation
In 1978, Ronald J. Worswick, purchased the
small operation after retiring from another
successful business. At that time the company
occupied only 3,500 square feet in a strip mall
in Casselberry, Florida and had seven employees. Mr. Worswick’s two sons, Denny, now
President, joined the company in 1986 and
Doug, now CEO, joined in 1992. Denny and
Doug, though they had worked their way up
through the business; from the shop, inventory control, sales, and so on, did not come
from a business background. Both started
training horses when they were in their 20s
and both made a radical shift in occupation
at about age 35. The business was originally
devoted to about 90 percent government
defense contracting and 10 percent commercial. "Dad recognized that the growth of the
company would be driven more by the commercial sector, so Denny and I worked to help
bring about a 90 percent commercial ratio,"
says Doug Worswick.
Innovation & Change
Ron Worswick worked until he passed away
in 2006. Transitioning a business to the next
generation can be difficult, as the younger
family members try to figure out how to retain the best of the old while adapting to a
changing world, changing technologies and
new competition by coming up with something new.
Doug Worswick got involved in leadership
development. Though his dad had vision and
values, the younger Worswick felt the company needed to take it a step further. He did
this, in the late '90s, by developing a team
of managers. There were four hour sessions
which he articulated the company's purpose
and values. "I really think the results from this
endeavor have been huge," Worswick says.
Currently, Certified has about 80 employees
in multiple divisions and branches throughout
Florida occupying over 100,000 square feet
with worldwide sales and distribution.
New Challenges
While the purpose hasn't changed over the
years, the five core values that lead the com-
pany; “integrity, respect, teamwork, commitment, and communication” have gone through
some variations of interpretation over the
years. "Our biggest challenge has been struggling with the communications value," Worswick says. "We're still struggling with delivering
clear messages to multiple locations and being
able to listen openly and sincerely. Our biggest problem has been with email. Emails get
misinterpreted, for there is no expression, just
words. So we've learned that, for many things,
if there's a question, it's best to just pick up the
phone, rather than doing damage control after
the email is misinterpreted.”
To facilitate communication, and incorporate
team members' needs and ideas into the direction of the business, both Doug and Denny
travel to each branch monthly. "It's a bit different than two guys sitting in an office and
sending out orders," Worswick says.
Worswick reports that "Our best annual
revenues came in 2008 when they were a
shade under $23 million.” In terms of the
current recession, Worswick says, "It's ugly
and has hit hard. But we're aggressively and
proactively going after business. We focus
on whatever we're doing that's working and
build from there. We're also working hard to
create future oppor¬tunities through marketing and customer awareness so that when
the economy gets moving, we can move with
it." Worswick reported that the company’s efforts seem to be already paying off with 2010
producing an increase in both business and
market share.
dence of regard and respect for team members. These include remembering birthdays,
providing free turkeys for Thanksgiving, and
handing out roses on Valentine's Day. Team
members are provided with uniformed shirts,
which reinforce the quality of service image
found on the trucks and in catalogs. "My
Dad's philosophy was to be very humble in
himself but proud of his team, confident that
if he had a good team which was treated well,
everything else would take care of itself."
"At the same time we're a fast paced entrepreneurial business, we are still a family run
business,” Worswick says. There are two other family members working for the company:
Nicole Parkerson is Vice President of Procurement and Eric Worswick is Vice President and
Manager of the Casselberry Branch.
When asked how it felt to make the transition from such a very different occupation,
Worswick replies, "It was tough at first; I don't
like sitting behind a desk. But, in some ways,
training horses was very good preparation. In
understanding why you can win or lose each
race, you need to consider: track conditions,
jockey’s ability and your horse’s own spirit
to win. It can be similar with a business. You
consider the work environment, supervisors’
skills, and your employees’ talents and work
ethic. You need to understand your leadership
role. The best thing you can do for yourself
and your company is have a good personal
work ethic, encourage people to do their best
and, keep that optimistic attitude, we're going
to win today."

Nonresidential Construction
Spending Bounces Up in April
"Today's report represents a reversal
of numerous trends."
— ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu
For the first time since March 2009, private
nonresidential construction spending increased 1.7 percent in April, according to
the June 1 report by the U.S. Census Bureau.
However, on a year-over-year basis, private
nonresidential construction spending is
down 24.6 percent. Total nonresidential construction – which includes both private and
public – is up 2 percent for the month, the
second consecutive monthly increase. Since
April 2009, total nonresidential construction spending is down 16.1 percent and now
stands at $596.9 billion. (See Analysis below)
Twelve of 16 nonresidential subsectors posting increases in April include conservation
and development, up 9.5 percent; water supply, 8 percent higher; communication, up 7.3
percent; and amusement and recreation-related construction, 6.7 higher. Three subsectors have increased since April 2009 including
transportation, up 17.7 percent; conservation
and development, up 10.4 percent; and highway and street, 5 percent higher.

was up 2.4 percent for the month, but down
4.4 percent compared to April 2009. Overall,
total construction spending – which includes
both residential and nonresidential – was 2.7
percent higher in April 2010, making it the
third consecutive monthly increase, but was
down 10.5 percent compared to the same
period one year ago.
Analysis
“Today's report represents a reversal of numerous trends,” said Associated Builders
and Contractors Chief Economist Anirban
Basu. “In recent quarters, nonresidential
construction spending has been fueled by
publicly-financed projects, many of them in
the transportation category. However, in April,
transportation-related spending was essentially flat, an indication that the impact of
stimulus spending in that category may have
peaked and that other nonresidential construction segments will need to expand if the
overall construction industry's momentum is
to continue.
“On a year-over-year basis, the nonresidential
segments that have expanded are all closely
tied to the stimulus package passed in February of 2009. These are transportation, conservation and development and highway/street
construction,” said Basu.
“The generally upbeat report also highlighted
several vulnerabilities that remain. For example, conventional wisdom suggests that state
and local government-financed construction
will decline going forward as lower levels of
government seek to shrink their collective
balance sheets,” Basu said. “This is consistent
with observed monthly declines in spending
in the education and public safety categories.
Privately-financed construction also remains
generally weak, with lodging related construction down approximately 60 percent on
a year-over-year basis. This indicates that the
construction industry has a way to go before
fully recovering to activity levels seen before
the economic downturn.”

higher from the same time last year. However,
core prices, which exclude energy and food,
are only up 1 percent from April 2009.
Analysis
“Today's producer price index data supports
the proposition that construction materials
prices can rise even when the prices of oil and
natural gas are falling,” said Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Chief Economist
Anirban Basu. “A number of nonfuel related
prices continue to edge higher in April, most
notably iron and steel. This seems to be a reflection of an ongoing pattern of construction
materials price increases attributable in part
to robust levels of economic activity in China
and other parts of the emerging world.
“Western economists predict that China's
economy will expand roughly 12 percent this
year. For its part, India and her 1.1 billion
people are expected to experience 8 percent
growth in economic activity in 2010. Correspondingly, the emerging world is scooping up
loads of commodities and materials, driving
global prices higher in the process,” Basu said.
“This pattern may be repeated in May as oil
prices continue to slide. Yesterday, oil prices
touched below $70 per barrel – a potential
source of relief for construction contractors that are working hard to manage their
cost and bids in the midst of a still sluggish
economy,” said Basu. “However, given the
global dynamics, other construction materials and supplies may continue to experience
rising price levels making the overall cost of
construction more expensive at a time when
purchasers of construction materials remain
particularly price sensitive.”

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
New Diesel Engine Emission
Regulations Come Again
By Dave Withee
Enterprise Fleet Management
Diesel engine emission regulations continue
to be affected by new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements to meet the
most recent Clean Air Act specifications. As
a result, truck buyers need to make sure they
have the latest information.
From a historical perspective, the EPA’s
2002/2004 set of diesel emission regulations
targeted nitrogen oxides (NOx). In 2007, the
EPA focused on particulate matter emissions,
which is why all on-highway trucks now come
with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves. Recently,
attention returned to NOx. As of January
2010, a new set of regulations requires a 90
percent reduction in NOx emission levels
from pre-2004 levels.
For most fleet managers, the DPF issues are
of greatest concern. Basically, a DPF traps
and removes particulate matter (soot) from
diesel exhaust. When exhaust gases pass
through the DPF, as much as 90 percent of
the solid particulate matter is trapped. Although DPFs are designed for long life, they
do require some driver involvement for proper operation. It is also essential that filters,
such as fuel and air, be properly maintained.
The critical part of maintaining a DPF is the
cleaning process. Referred to as regeneration, the process involves cleaning the filter
by burning off the collected soot at a prescribed time, leaving behind a harmless ash
residue. This is usually done by driving the
vehicle at a prescribed speed for a certain
amount of time (see the owner’s manual for
details). Most 2007 compliant engines feature passive and active types of regeneration,
both of which require little driver interaction.
In a recent article in Light & Medium Truck,
author Phil Romba writes, “At this time, it
appears that most diesel engine makers and
truck manufacturers will add selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to their 2007 base
platforms to meet 2010 emissions.”
For 2010 vehicles equipped with SCR technology, Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), a solution

made up of purified water and automotivegrade urea, is used to break down NOx emissions into nitrogen and water vapor. Generally, DEF is designed to last approximately
7,500 miles between fill ups, coinciding with
the oil and filter change interval. However,
depending on customer use, replenishment
may need to occur more frequently.
In his article, Romba quotes Roger Gault,
technical director of the Equipment Manufacturers Association: “There currently are
‘no definitive answers’ yet about expected
tradeoffs in fuel economy and other operations effects of the new diesels…the principal
advantage of EGR is its ‘long track record
while it continues to be refined.’ The principal advantage of SCR is its ability to improve
overall fuel economy…The disadvantages of
SCR, according to Gault, are that it is new to
U.S. truck fleets and adds complexity because
it is another system to install and maintain,”
writes Romba.
