Publisher’s LetterDear Readers,

The asphalt pavement industry is a lot like a family businesses. And as you know,sometimes family members don’t always get along. But at the end of the day, we’re all inthis thing together. And that’s why our newly united association, our extended family, mustlook out for each other. We must put our differences aside for the greater good. This is nolonger a noble goal -- it’s survival.

The mere fact that we are still in business is a cause for celebration. While the rest of thecountry is coming out of a recession, our industry has been in a deep Depression. Accordingto the California Construction Industry Research Board, more than 40 percent ofconstruction jobs in California have disappeared since 2006. And if you think we’ve enduredthe worst of it, there could be more bad news to come unless our elected officials getserious about investing in protecting our vital infrastructure.

It’s hard to believe that it has been more than two years since Congress allowed the federalSurface Transportation Act -- the prime source of funds for roads -- to expire. Now thattransportation bills have finally worked their way to the top of the national policy agenda,we must work together as a united voice for our industry in California to let members ofCongress know how important this is to job-creation in California. To do anything less ishighway robbery!

But public work is not all that we do. The private sector is very important to our industry,and only recently has this sector shown signs of coming out of its long slumber. This issueis dedicated to that sector of our market. Between these pages you will also read about thesuccessful first annual meeting and dinner of our unified association, progress on legislationon recycled asphalt pavements, national award recognition for some outstanding Californiacompanies, and profiles of some outstanding paving contractors.

As we gear up for what should be an interesting year, I challenge you to participate in association activities, heedour calls to action and celebrate our successes. Our asphaltpavement industry family is counting on everyone’scontribution as we weather this economic storm andprepare for better days ahead.

Sincerely,

Jeff Reed,George Reed, Inc.

TLG Paving Company was recentlyawarded the contract for the BoeingParking Lot C Project in HuntingtonBeach, California. The job began inNovember of 2011 and was recentlycompleted on January 18, 2012.Boeing is the world’s leading aerospacecompany and the largest manufacturerof commercial jetliners and militaryaircraft combined. Their HuntingtonBeach site serves as a premier designand development center for BoeingIntegrated Defense Systems andPhantom Works, the Boeingadvanced research-and-developmentunit. Boeing officials contracted TLGPaving Company to repave Lot C attheir Huntington Beach facility.

Once the project was fully approved,TLG Paving Company was given a dateof January 19th to have everything

completely off the property and turnedback over to Boeing. They had animportant presentation scheduledand they needed the lot ready for usebefore that date. Two months seemedmore than enough time to comply withthis date of completion, however theunforeseeable can sometimes get inthe way.

Tom Gilchriese is the Owner andPresident of TLG Paving Companyand he explains, “We knew from thestart that we might have to deal withsome weather issues and so we hitthe ground running. Dan Nardico wasour project manager for this projectand coordinated the activitiesbetween all subcontractors, Boeingpersonnel, City officials and ourengineering firm. Our subcontractor,Pavement Recycling Systems (PRS),

removed the asphalt and stockpiled itin an adjacent lot for re-use in theCold Central Plant Recycling process(CCPR).” This process utilizes theexisting asphalt pavement assets inthe manufacturing of an engineeredrecycled asphalt for use as a newbase course asphalt section.

TLG Paving Company poured newperimeter concrete curbs to establishnew elevations, improved drainage,graded and compacted the 300,000sq. ft. parking lot. However, during thefinal plan check, the City of HuntingtonBeach made additional modificationsto the plans, which required theinstallation of concrete flowlines. Itwas now necessary to re-grade theentire lot to construct the addedflowlines, which ultimately resulted ineven better drainage. “While our

engineering firm was makingmodifications to accommodate theflowlines, there was a slight delay inthe construction schedule and aheavy rainfall occurred”, saidGilchriese.

According to TLG, the rain, inconjunction with a high water tableand poor soil conditions, resulted innew challenges. It would now benecessary to somehow correct thestability of the overly saturatedsubgrade. This could be accomplishedthrough several methods, one of whichwas proposed from a geotechnical

engineer. His proposal was to remove6-inches of subgrade, install a geo-textilefabric and then add six inches of baseon top of the fabric. Tom explains, “TLGPaving tried installing the fabric inselected areas, but the subgrade wasjust too wet and un stable.”

Pavement Recycling Systems, whowas already contracted for theasphalt removal and CCPR process,was also consulted for theirrecommendations. Marco Estrada,Business Development Manager forPavement Recycling Systemscomments, “When the original

pavement investigation wasperformed, it was anticipated therewere going to be some areas withunstable soil conditions and therewere contingencies to cement treatthese areas if necessary.” After therainfall, the most cost effective andquickest method to stabilize the areawas to cement treat the entireparking lot. The remove and replaceoption would have taken twice theamount of time as compared to thecement treatment. Marco adds, “Weperformed the cement treatment withabout 40 truck loads of cement, while

the other method would haverequired over 400 trucks of exportand 400 trucks of import. Because ofthe reduced impact on their day today operations, Boeing decided to gowith the cement treatment, whichalso saved them over 50% whencompared to the proposedengineering plan.” According to TLG,“the impact of the cost of the cementtreatment was around $150,000,however going with the cementtreatment saved the client another$100,000 as opposed to going withthe geo-textile recommendation.”Cement treatment of the unstablesubgrade proved to be a structural,economically and environmentallyviable solution.

After the cement treatmentprocess, it was again necessary toreestablish the appropriate elevations.

After PRS had removed the pavementwith their profiling machines andstabilized the subgrade, TLG PavingCompany installed 9,000 tons of rockbase to accommodate the plan changeand revised elevations. The reclaimedasphalt pavement (RAP) that had beenstock piled was now ready to be recycled.In the CCPR process, the RAP is crushedand sized to a 1-inch minus gradationand processed through the plant’spug mill system where it is thoroughlymixed with an engineered recyclingemulsion. Once processed, the recycledasphalt is loaded into trucks anddelivered to the paving machine forinstallation of the 3-inch base coursepavement. The on-site processingeliminates most of the trucking anddisposal of the RAP and recuperates asignificant amount of the initialinvestment in the pavement.

Marco Estrada explains, “The recyclingprocess was complicated by the factthat the old asphalt pavement containedpetromat pavement reinforcing fabric.However, our on-site plants can, and inthis case were modified, to handle thepetromat in the RAP crushing andscreening process. We don’t minimizethe challenge this presents, butemphasize that this is absolutely anengineered technology. Because of itssmall carbon footprint and comparableperformance to hot mix asphalt, coldrecycled asphalt technology is aviable, urban-friendly, alternative inpavement rehabilitation.”

Tom Gilchriese of TLG PavingCompany comments, “Our companyhad previously been involved with amuch smaller cold central plantrecycling project. I was still a bithesitant of the process, but I have to

(1) The existing asphalt is milled and stockpiled for later use as recycled asphalt pavement. (2) Cement is applied at a rate of 6% to stabilize the subgrade. (3) Cement is mixed to a depth of 12 inches to stabilize the subgrade. (4) Recycled asphalt is loaded into trucks and delivered to the paver for placement as base course asphalt. (5) Compaction requirements are readily met on the recycled asphalt base course. (6) The RAP is crushed screened and processed with an engineered emulsion during the CCPR process. (7) The portable recycling plant is equipped with a mass flow meter for quality control during the addition of theengineered emulsion.

say, after my experience on thisBoeing job, I am completely 100percent sold on this method. Theinstallation of the CCPR asphaltmaterial was accomplished with apaving machine and a 25-ton rubbertire roller. In all honesty, I anticipatedseeing the asphalt squeezing upbetween the roller tires but this didnot occur and we reached our 95percent compaction without anyissues. We re-rolled again 3-days laterwith the 25-ton roller to identify anyareas that might fail. We then applieda tack coat and installed 2,600 tonsof the hot asphalt finish lift. I believethat the CCPR method saved ourclient as much as 30 percent overconventional remove and replacemethods. The challenges were many,but in the end we met our deadline,even though it was on January 18th

at 10:00 PM when we finally finishedthe last of the striping and rolled off ofthe job. In hindsight it was probably ablessing that the City got involved andthe rains fell hard, because Boeingended up with a much better finishedproduct than originally designed anda firm and unyielding subgrade. TheBoeing employees are extremelysatisfied with their new parking lot asthey do not have to walk throughpuddles to get to work. In fact, on this300,000 sq. ft. lot, there is nostanding water anywhere, which is atribute to our crews, our design andour subcontractors.”

Angus Asphalt, Inc. was contracted by Elliott & Wallace Grading & Paving, Inc.to maintain the asphalt pavement on the Barona Reservation. The most recentproject included residential streets, maintenance roads and driveways.


stablished in 1932, the BaronaIndian Reservation is knownfor maintaining a very strongand supportive community.

Recognized by the United Statesgovernment as a sovereign nation,they are governed by an elected TribalCouncil. Indian gaming has made anumber of economic improvementson the Barona reservation possible,including the construction of 83 newhomes, new streets and roadsthroughout the reservation, a wastewater treatment plant and manyother educational, infrastructure andsafety upgrades.

Angus Asphalt, Inc. is one of theconstruction companies working forgeneral contractor, Elliott & WallaceGrading & Paving, Inc. out at theBarona Reservation. They were

contracted in 2011 by Elliott & Wallaceto maintain the asphalt pavement onthe reservation and have also beenbidding on the all of the new roadworkas it comes available. The most recentproject included residential streets,maintenance roads and driveways.This project began on January 25thand was completed just four dayslater on January 29th. On thisparticular phase, Angus Asphalt wascalled upon to first cut in the road,followed by grading and then finallythe paving process. This main roadwas approximately three quarters of amile long and required 1,760 tons ofstandard hotmix asphalt. Al Macias isthe Production/Operations Managerfor Angus Asphalt, Inc. and has beenwith the company since its inceptionback in 1986. “The roadwork out at

Barona is being done in phases tokeep pace with the new homeconstruction. It’s pretty standard workwith the exception of the hard rockand granite. We were scarifying downto 12 inches and at times we’d runinto very hard granite material thatrequired us to use our blades to cutthrough the rock. The upside is thatthe hard ground provided a nice,easily compactable native base forthe eight inch base course and fourinch cap. We got our asphalt fromSuperior on this job and from Vulcanon an adjacent 1,200-ton road wecompleted here on the reservationjust a few months ago. It really comesdown to whoever has the best rate atthe time. We were also concernedabout the one and a half hourdistance the trucks had to travel up


the mountain from the plant locatedin Miramar. The consistent use oftarps and the efficiencies of thedrivers soon put us at ease and wewere able to reach all of our compactionrequirements. The logistics of bringingthe trucks in and out of the projecthad also been tricky. In order to keepthe trucks from cornering themselvesin we paved the three-quarter site insections applying only around 425tons at a time.”

Angus Asphalt used a standard eight-person crew on the job withthree roller operators and fiveindividuals on the ground. A Cedarapidspaving machine was used on much ofthe main road, along with an 8500LeeBoy paver on certain sections anddriveways. Very little concrete curbwas installed as thousands of linealfeet of asphalt berm were utilizedinstead. Angus Asphalt used a bermmachine and handwork to accomplishsome of the installation, while also

calling on A. C. Dike Company andtheir specialized machinery tocomplete the long straight portions.

According to Al Macias of AngusAsphalt, private construction jobshave been fairly hard to come by.However they are being kept quitebusy with governmental work atplaces like the Miramar Air Base, aswell as the Marine Corp Air Station inYuma, Ariz. In addition, they have anice sized airport paving job comingup in the near future. Propertymanagement work has also keptAngus Asphalt busy throughout all ofSouthern California. Al comments,“We are an extremely versatilecompany in that we cross-train all ofour crew in every aspect of every job.Even after all of these years, I canoften be found operating a roller orpaver on any given project. I attributemuch of our success to our owner,Tom Angus and his foresight to keepour company diversified. For example,

I think we are the only contractor inCalifornia right now doing Hazmatwork along with our asphalt andconcrete construction offerings. Wespecialize in removing undergroundfuel tanks and replacing them withnew above-ground units. This type ofwork is keeping our Hazmat divisionvery busy right now in several of thedesert cities and as far north as SantaBarbara.”

Fiona Ma wore a wide grin as she stood in a Capitolhallway recently to personally thank each of the nearly 40 construction industry representatives who minutesearlier had packed a hearing room to support her billencouraging the use of more recycled asphalt inpavement mixes.

Ma, a San Francisco Democrat and the second mostpowerful person in the Assembly, had challenged theindustry to show support for her bill, AB 812, as it facedan important test before the Assembly TransportationCommittee.

The bill ultimately passed the committee Jan. 9 on a bipartisan14-0 vote, which catapulted it into the fast lane throughthe Legislature on its way to the governor's desk.

Assembly Transportation Committee Chairwoman BonnieLowenthal commended the collaborative approach theauthor and industry took on reaching a consensus on the bill language, telling Ma "you've clearly brought everyone to the table."

The bill was introduced last year as part of a package of legislation sponsored by the CaliforniaConstruction & Industrial Materials Association (CalCIMA), and it has been endorsed in concept bymany CalAPA members. The original language of the bill called for Caltrans to permit up to 50 percentRAP in pavement mixes, up from the current 15 percent restriction. Caltrans initially raised concernsabout the bill even as the department has said it is "moving aggressively" to utilize more RAP.

The bill author met with Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty and, as a result of thatmeeting, revised bill language was later brought forward. The most recent version of the bill lowersthe RAP threshold to 40 percent, and makes it a goal by 2014 rather than a mandate.

One of the speakers at the committee hearing, Becky Wood of Teichert Aggregates, testified, "We'veworked very diligently on this bill. It is a win-win. It (RAP) is a quality product, and we have a longhistory of using recycled materials in asphalt mixes."

Existing Caltrans specifications limit RAP usage to 15 percent, but recently the department hasannounced pilot projects of up to 25 percent and said it plans to continue to push for higher RAP inmixes when possible. Currently, some 30 states have a higher RAP standard than California, and theFederal Highway Administration has provided expertise to Caltrans as the department evaluatesincreasing RAP limits.

The bill currently has no opposition and is supported by, among others, CalAPA, AGC, EUCA, theSierra Club and the Laborer's Union. CAM

If you’ve shopped at a retail grocerystore in Southern California then chancesare you’ve parked in a lot that has beenpaved, sealed and striped by PremierPaving, Inc. The family-owned and -operated company has beenpaving, cold milling, sealing and stripingparking lots for many of the samecustomers for more than 20 years.And, according to Mike Prescott, sonof company founder Don Prescott, anda vice president and member of thecompany’s sales force, somecustomers have actually been Don’ssince before he started Premier Paving.

Don worked for General Paving andSully-Miller Contracting, Co. for a totalof 40 years until he “retired” anddecided to start his own companywith a minority partner. He started

Premier Paving with “bare bones”,Mike says, purchasing a five tonflatbed truck and a one and half tonroller and repairing holes in asphaltparking lots. Mike says that Donfocused on slow, responsible growth,eventually hiring estimators some fiveyears later from paving companiesthat were closing their doors.

Premier Paving’s repeat clientsinclude several grocery chain stores.Located in Ontario, the company nowcompletes larger asphalt maintenanceand reconstruction of regional mallparking lots from Santa Barbara toSan Diego, including for Santa AnitaMall, Los Cerritos Center and MissionViejo Mall. Another key customersegment for the company is consultingfirms who generate bid packages for

the paving work. Premier Paving hasmaintained many of their clientsthrough several generations.

Premier Paving crews are workingon three to five jobs at any one time.Currently they are working on threegrocery store parking lots and parkinglots at University of California-Riverside,all average size jobs, Mike says. A typicalgrocery store job takes five to sevendays to complete. One crew will takecare of asphalt paving and repair,while another will come back to doseal coating and striping. The companyemploys 30 people.

Don and his wife Jackie have 13children, seven of whom work for thecompany. In addition to Mike; Daniel,Steve and Jeff are all vice presidentsand members of the company’s sales

Perhaps it was fitting that the firstmeeting of the unified CaliforniaAsphalt Pavement Association washeld at the elegant Jonathan Club indowntown Los Angeles. The clubwas founded in the 19th century andis located in an Italian Renaissancebuilding at the heart of the nation’ssecond largest city – a sign ofpermanence and strength in the 21stcentury amid times of change.

The joining of the SouthernCalifornia-based Asphalt PavementAssociation and the NorthernCalifornia-based California AsphaltPavement Association similarlysignified permanence in a changingworld, and the importance theindustry places on effective andcoordinated representation inturbulent economic times.

The historic nature of the AnnualMeeting was not lost on the asphaltpavement industry, which turned outin record numbers on Jan. 12 to seefor themselves the dawn of a new erawhile celebrating the past and thosewho have made many importantcontributions along the way.

Association Co-Chairman JohnHolliday with Holliday Rock told theaudience, "As many of you know, theconcept of joining our twoorganizations has been kicked aroundfor about 15 years. Four years ago italmost came to fruition. I'm pleasedthat we were finally able to get thisdone.

"The reasons for this action aremany,” he said, "and all of ourmembers will benefit from this newarrangement. We will be able tostreamline our operations, eliminateduplication (and) avoid mixedmessages."

Added Co-Chairman Jeff Reed withGeorge Reed, Inc.: "Being united,focused, and building alliances tohelp us achieve our goals -- when we

all commit to that, we can achievegreat things."

State Sen. Bob Dutton, whorecently handed over the reigns asGOP leader in the upper house,delivered the evening's keynotespeech, focusing on the need forcommon-sense leadership and fiscalrestraint to help Sacramento workthrough chronic state budget deficitsand tangled regulations.

"You have to have a balance of power in California," Dutton said,noting that Democrats control boththe state Senate, Assembly andoccupy all constitutional offices in thestate. "When you have one-partydomination, that's what happens."

A supporter of Proposition 1B, themost recent transportation bond actthat was approved by voters in 2006,Dutton told the dinner meeting thathe has been dismayed by how muchstate transportation money in Californiais diverted for other non-transportationuses. "When money is collected, itshould be used for what it is collectedfor," he said.

Recognizing how the constructionindustry has been hurt disproportionatelyby the economic downturn, Duttonconcluded his remarks by saying, "I want to thank all of you for hangingin there. California is worth it."

Several people who have providedinvaluable service to the asphaltpavement industry in California overthe years were also recognized,including esteemed University ofCalifornia researcher Carl Monismith,Ann St. Martin, the much beloved"First Lady of California Asphalt," andDr. Rita Leahy, who served as theTechnical Director for the formerSouthern California-based associationprior to the unification.

The 2012 Executive Committeewas also introduced to the membership.The Executive Committee members

are: Alan French with DeSilva Gates,Dan Ridolfi with Granite Construction,Don Daley Jr. with CCA, LLC, Jeff Reedwith George Reed, John Holliday withHolliday Rock, Marc Mitchell withParamount Petroleum, Michael Murraywith Vulcan Materials, Ron Stickelwith Teichert Aggregates and ScottBottomley with Sully Miller.

The purchase of our new LeeBoy 8510 has proved to be a great decision. About 85% of our workis maintenance and the LeeBoy 8510 fits the scope of our work perfectly. Another reason we chose LeeBoyis that our operators are familiar with the product and actually prefer it. They appreciate the ease ofoperation, its overall power and of course the smooth mat it puts down.”

Craig adds, “Nixon-Egli has been great to work with, they’ve been around along time and are a name we know we can trust. We have especially enjoyedworking with their sales representative, Steve Kekich. Steve has beenextremely helpful, knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entireprocess. He is an honest and straightforward person. It’s hard to findpartnerships in business like that today. We strive to live up to our companymotto each day - In the world of asphalt paving, we're PREFERRED. We werepleased to find this same philosophy at Nixon-Egli Equipment Company.
