Summer 2014 Nan Inc Newsletter 3

A Message from the Vice PresidentIntroduction

Aloha everyone! It is my honor and pleasure to welcome you to the next issue of Nan, Inc.’s highly-anticipated “Building the

Future of Hawaii” newsletter. As we had a short break since our last publication, the company has had so many accomplishments to celebrate, and even more doors opening to new and exciting opportunities. But fi rst, I would like to thank the eff orts of our Innovation Committee, who revived this newsletter and dedicate their precious time over their busy work schedules in an eff ort to continuously improve Nan, Inc. Th ank you and a job well done to all the committee members!

Over the recent years, the construction industry has been enduring through a diffi cult period, where competition has been fi erce and acquiring new work has been a considerable challenge for most, if not all, companies. In an eff ort to be ahead and above the competition, Nan, Inc. has had to maintain tight margins in the bids, while our estimating and technical teams have worked tirelessly against the clock to meticulously assemble the proposals; this is all the while knowing that if successful, other teams would later scrutinize every inch of our proposal to fi nd any reason to protest. Pressure defi ned.

In spite of these hurdles, through our experience and perseverance, we were able to successfully capture the critical projects in our business plan. Among these included the renovations of Quad D and Quad B at Schofi eld Barracks, perpetuating Nan, Inc.’s dominance for the last 16 years over all the Quads that line the historic corridor. Th e most recent triumph, solidifying Nan, Inc. as the leading local military contractor, was the recent award of the $69.7 million Combat Aviation Brigade Complex, Phase 2, at Wheeler Army Airfi eld. It is remarkable to mention that in the face of these challenging times, the hard work and tireless eff orts of our employees have facilitated Nan, Inc. to climb up the national ranks in Engineers News-Record’s (ENR) Top 400 Contractors, from No. 321 last year to No. 252 in 2014. In addition, Nan, Inc. was ranked No. 2 in Hawaii's Top 25 General Contractor by Building Industry Magazine in 2014.

In addition to the military projects, Nan, Inc. has been making great strides in the other public sectors and in the commercial arena. Th is includes the completion of several high-visibility and long-awaited projects in the community; such as the renovation of the historic Gartley Hall on the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus, the construction of the new Aiea Public Library, and the new Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting Facility at the Kona International Airport, just to name a few. Our civil division has been digging down and is paving its way to its next major projects at Kaiminani Drive and to Phase I of the Pahoa Park Master Plan on the Big Island. In the commercial world, Nan, Inc. has captured the $19 million renovation of the Diamond Head Tower at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and the $35 million renovation of both the Ewa and Diamond Head Towers at the Hyatt Regency Hotel under the leadership of Executive Vice President Lane Uchimura.

Geographically, Nan, Inc. has also been successful in spreading its wings through its ongoing operations on the Big Island, Maui, Kauai, Kwajalein Atoll, and Guam. As the industry continues to show new signs of life and begins to ramp up, Nan, Inc. will actively pursue opportunities in these locations as well as in new territories, where we will soon have to think of a new title for this newsletter. Other highly anticipated pursuits include expansion projects at the various local international airports, and the projects under the Honolulu Rail Transit program.

On the personal side, these pages have shown that Nan, Inc. is not just made of successful construction projects, but an organization fi lled with individuals who are full of heart that care deeply toward a community without geographic boundaries. From amazingly generous monetary donations, countless hours of devoted time, and the selfl ess energy spent on labors of love, I feel very privileged to work alongside so many talented individuals who not only understand the importance of working hard, but who are, more importantly, wonderful humanitarians.

So to the Nan, Inc. ‘ohana, thank you for your dedication to excellence and to the company’s upheld beliefs of customer service, as our collective eff orts will continue to lead us toward new doors with bright new horizons. Th is is defi nitely a momentous time for Nan, Inc., and it is exciting to see what the future holds. Mahalo!

Aiea Public Library Replacement Facility

The construction of the new Aiea Public Library marks the culmination of almost 20 years of planning by the Aiea community. Nan, Inc. was awarded the $8.7

million bid-build project in April of 2012 and construction began on November 25 with the Notice to Proceed. Th e new Library is located in the former Aiea Sugar Mill area and it is designed to resemble the historic building.

Th e 17,200 square foot building almost doubles the size of the old library and includes a reading room, a receiving workroom, a large program room for community meetings and library programs, a large parking area with 53 parking stalls, and shelving to accommodate up to 78,000 books and 8,000 DVDs and CDs. Th e modernized library utilizes environmentally friendly systems by maximizing natural lighting with the use of skylights and storefront windows, motion light sensors, a light dimming system, a high effi ciency HVAC system, and 6,000 square feet of photovoltaic solar panels.

Th e project is now complete with the installation of additional safety features such as a new CRM wall and access ramps. Th e grand opening of the new Aiea Public Library was held on July 19, 2014 . Th e library is now open to public. Nan, Inc. is proud to be working with the state, the community, and elected offi cials to help develop the local community and provide a foundation for education and entertainment for current and future generations.

Repair Port Operations Tower

On April 25, 2014, a blessing was held to commemorate the completion of the renovation of the historic Water Tank and Signal Station in the Pearl

Harbor National Historic Landmark and Shipyard historic management zone at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Also known as the Building S-1058 Waterfront Operations Tower, this tower is the only one remaining of three original water towers built jointly between the Army and Navy in 1925.

Th e historic signal station played an important role in the events of December, 7, 1941. At 7:55 am, the Signal Tower sent out their fi rst telephone call warning Rear Admiral Kimmel, Commander in Chief of the US Pacifi c Fleet, "Enemy air raid - not a drill." By the time the message arrived, it was too late.

Th e tower received a thorough transformation from its original appearance to a modern, functional space that accommodates Port Operations employees.

Shortly aft er removal of lead paint, it was determined that more work was needed than originally anticipated due to the severity of the conditions of the historic structure. Not only did the tower need a facelift , but critical evaluation of the structure revealed additional corrosion of the original members of the tower due to its proximity to the ocean.

Along with primary subcontractor Abhe & Svoboda Inc., the project team addressed this concern by making the necessary structural upgrades and applying a new, sustainable 10-year warranty paint system throughout the tower. Th e new paint comprises of a special property two-part epoxy which acts as a resistant to the ocean environment.

Th e project required a number of structural repairs to update and modernize the tower while meeting today’s safety standards. Supplementary features were also added to the tower to restore life into the historic structure. Th ese features include safety guard rails at the roof observation deck, egress illumination, emergency lighting, lightning protection, cathodic protection and fi re alarm system in the Control Offi ce. Some of the original fi xtures of the tower were maintained to preserve the integrity of the historic site.

Th e blessing was attended by several high ranking navy offi cials and Mr. Delton Walling. Mr. Walling was a 19 year-old Signalman 2nd Class, who watched in horror from atop one of the original three towers as Japanese warplanes fl ew into Pearl Harbor that fateful morning. Almost 90 years later the tower still stands, and will be used as the primary watch tower over all vessels going into and out of Pearl Harbor.

This tower is the only

one remaining of three

original water towers built

jointly between the army and

navy in 1925.

F-22 Munitions

The F-22 Upgrade Munitions Project is located on the island of Oahu at JBPHH between the popular Mamala Bay Golf Course and Honolulu

International Airport. Th e project started on June 14, 2013 and was scheduled to be complete by December 30, 2014 with an estimated cost of $17,141,771. Th e purpose of the project is to support the F-22 fi ghter jets and its mission in the Pacifi c region.

Th rough the partnership and professional relationship that our Project Manager, Richard Pallango, held with the client and the hard work of his crew, the project was completed on March 31, 2014, nine months ahead of the scheduled completion date.

Th e F-22 Upgrade Munitions Project was a design-bid-build project, which involved the construction of fi ve (5) new facilities (totaling 28,321 sf) spread out on an area of approximately 17 acres:• Storage Igloos, Buildings 9000, 9001, and 9002 (6,642 sf)

• M&I Hard 1–Bay with Mechanical Building 9007 (2,817 sf)• M&I Hard 1 – Bay with RR, Building 9008 (2,817 sf)• Munitions Administration & Storage Building, including Administration, Inert Storage, and M&I Trailer Maintenance 9015 (10,054 sf)• Multi-cubicle Magazine, Building 9013 (5,991 sf)

Other phases of work included site demolition, excavation and fi ll to create pads for buildings, bases for new roads, and convey drainage; installation of underground utilities consisting of water, fi re service, sanitary sewer service, electrical service, and telecommunications ductbanks; installation of an onsite septic system and leach fi eld; fencing and gates; pavement for roads and parking areas; and clearing and grubbing.

Th e following options were also awarded and completed:• Option 1 - Paved POV Parking (87 spaces) and Repaving of Existing Roads • Option 2 – Mac Pad, Concrete Slab (5,000 sf) & Mac Pad Parking (11 spaces)

TFI-F-22 Upgrade Munitions Complex


During the course of the project and under the direction of Superintendent, Aaron Pahia, the project faced some challenges. Th ose challenges came to the forefront when tasked to form 28 feet double-walled walls on four sides of the two cast-in-place M&I buildings (9007 and 9008). Th e second part to this challenge include pouring the concrete in a single placement. Needless to say both phases of work was completed with each building having more than 400 cubic yards of concrete set in a single placement.

Under the oversight of Safety Manager, Stanley Fuller, the F-22 Upgrade Munitions project had no injuries and no days away from work. It also received an “Exceptional” rating in the areas of Safety & Security. Th e project also accomplished its goal of obtaining LEED Silver Certifi cation.

Th rough the idea of fostering a professional relationship and an open line of communication with our client, the project team was able to successfully complete the project on time and in the black. In doing so, this project has received an “Outstanding” CCASS rating.

Th e Hawaii Air National Guard (HIANG) was so satisfi ed with Nan, Inc.'s work that they requested for the Munitions project

team to oversee and complete the F-22 CAPA 13 project as well.

Th e F-22 Upgrade Munitions Project team would like to express our sincere gratitude to our entire Nan Ohana to include the Estimating and Administration Departments for the exceptional and professional support that was provided toward the success of this project. As well as a special thanks to all of our sub-contractors, who worked hand in hand with our project team to produce a quality facility for the Hawaii Air National Guard and the entire Pacifi c region.

PACAF HQ, Building 1102 Repair - Phases 2 & 4

Based largely on outstanding performance during Phase Two of this project and a competitive price, the Caddell/Nan Joint Venture was awarded Phase Four

of the repair and upgrade of this massive historic building (550,000-SF with 14 separate wings) that serves as Pacifi c Air Command Headquarters at Hickam AFB.

Th e facility was built in 1939/40 as an airmen’s barracks housing up to 3900 people; at the time the largest barracks complex in the world. On December 7, 1941, it was a main target of the Japanese attack. Th e building suff ered severe physical damage with 35 people killed and 60 injured. In 1985, it was named to the National Historic Register with strict limitations regarding building alterations and upgrades.

Phase 2 ($13.6M) is complete; Phase 4 ($18M) is currently underway and involves essentially the same scope of work in other sections of the complex. Th e design/build of the facility repairs and upgrades encompasses select wing and fl oor areas and includes extensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing remediation for the building’s infrastructure. All of this work has proceeded while 2000+ personnel continue to work uninterrupted performing critical missions at this major command and control complex. Th roughout the repair and upgrade process, the JV team has been tasked with preserving historically signifi cant features including delicate yellow tile work.

Project highlights have included:

“CNMS JV’s performance on this design-build task order to date has been very good. Th e scope of work was challenging as it involved interior repair of an historic, fully occupied headquarters building. Th e design and construction had to bring scope areas up to code, including special provisions for protection of historic characteristics, and meet specialized secure area requirements. CNMS’ strengths were highlighted during construction. Th e quality of their fi nished product was exceptional. Th e project team relied heavily on their combined knowledge and expertise to understand and resolve issues encountered in the fi eld. Th ey had to work closely with the Government on a daily basis to coordinate and schedule their construction activities and outages. CNMS’ safety performance was outstanding. Th eir safety program and site safety offi cer were very eff ective in making safety a part of their workers’ culture and mindset.” -Curtis Nagata, Construction Manager, NAVFAC Hawaii.

• An exceptional security record with zero incidents in Phase 2. Phase 4 has likewise maintained this outstanding security program performance.

• Minimal disruptions to one of the U.S. military’s most vital missions.

• Fit-out and repair performed to superior quality with high praise from NAVFAC and tenants. All new electrical, mechanical, instrumentation, security, and communications systems are functioning exactly as designed.

• NAVFAC safety award for excellent safety performance and practices.

performance during Phase

Two of this project and

Building a "Safety Culture"

Why is safety important to a company’s operations and success? Almost every company has a safety program built into their business in order to

comply with insurance and OSHA requirements. However, the success of safety programs and company safety records vary greatly depending upon the level of emphasis and importance placed on safety. At some point accidents may occur, usually because safety was overlooked. Some companies assume that workplace accidents are a normal part of business and accidents will happen! But in reality, all accidents can be prevented. Safety is an “added-value” that protects employees and contributes to the company’s bottom line.

At some point accidents may

occur, usually because

safety was overlooked . . .

in reality, all accidents can

be prevented.

So how can we improve safety and the company’s bottom line? By creating a “Safety Culture” that goes beyond compliance. A safety culture is the way in which safety becomes an integral part of doing business in the workplace. It is built on character, values such as commitment, leadership, trust, excellence, and integrity. It’s doing the right thing!

Treat safety just as you would treat cost and quality. Every organization is in the business to make a profi t. Without profi ts a company has no future. An organization that operates without seriously incorporating safety into its operations will limit profi t potential as events such as unplanned accidents and incidents, disrupt production, increase expense and losses, and diminish the fl ow of revenues.

We should not look at safety as how much it is costing the

company. Instead we should be looking at how much the company profi ts by creating a safety culture. It pays to be safe. Th e cost of preventing accidents and losses is far less than correcting them. We must incorporate a safety culture in both our production and quality control processes in order for safety to be valued.

A safety culture will not develop overnight; it will take time to make adjustments in people’s attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, and values. Some people will fi nd it diffi cult to accept change and will resist, while others will welcome it as a positive direction for the company. A successful safety culture will require senior management’s leadership and commitment. Top down buy-in from the project management teams, to the administrative and support teams, and individual employees are essential. It is a long term investment.

Th ere are many elements to a safety culture that we must embrace as we strive for safety excellence. Each of us can contribute to maintaining and improving safety on the job site. Safety is everyone’s responsibility!


The Big Island Operations kicked off into full gear in May 2012 with the purchase of a heavy equipment fl eet and the establishment of a headquarters offi ce in

Kailua-Kona. Since this time, Nan, Inc. has been awarded 6 major projects on the Big Island via competitive bid, there have been signifi cant additions to our heavy equipment fl eet, and the administrative staff has expanded.

With our goals and objectives in hand, a great team attitude, ongoing support from the Honolulu offi ce, and

the leadership of Vice President Frank Okimoto, we have successfully completed several projects, started new ones, and are moving ahead with ongoing construction.

Our Big Island Team is a very cohesive group. Our combined experience (over 200 years) complements each and every project. We depend daily on one another’s input, experience, advice, and support. Th e following is a list of Big Island projects (past, present, and upcoming):

BIG ISLAND OPERATIONS JOBS MAY 2012 TO AUG 2014


big island challenges1. working in rock

The Big Island is the youngest of the Islands and is solid rock. Working in these conditions requires

skilled operators, and continual maintenance on our heavy equipment fleet by our experienced master

mechanics.

2. shortage of vendors

The Big Island does not have a large selection of vendors resulting in less price competition and in turn a

higher cost of materials. Planning ahead, ordering in bulk, and most importantly establishing a good

working relationship with all material men and subcontractors is directly related to lower pricing.

3. working with the honolulu staff without personally meeting them

It is difficult when we cannot put a face, a smile, or a quirk to fellow employees we work with.

4. rain (east hawaii)

For example Keaau Pahoa Road has had 21 rain days out of a total of 176 working days – over 11%.

5. allocating and moving heavy equipment

Moving equipment between West and East Hawaii requires permits, police escorts, good weather, safe

traffic, and a skilled driver. There are two routes. Either “Saddle Road” or Highway 19. Saddle Road even

with its wonderful improvements has extreme road grades. There is also fog that rolls in unexpectedly and

is so thick you cannot see 5 feet in front of you. Highway 19 is narrow, with no room for forgiveness.

Portions of it experience heavy rains resulting in landslides and road closures. It also passes thru many

small county communities, so one is often behind a slow driver or a very inattentive one.

6. working “off the grid”

The Big Island Headquarters is powered by a Cat Generator, and a photovoltaic system. Our office phone

system and fax are cellular operated. If the generator goes down, so do we. The photovoltaic system keeps

the server up and running, the refrigerator on, and the FAX operable. Depending on how charged the

photovoltaic system is (based on sunshine, clouds, and vog), we can keep our food cold for 6 to 72 hours.

7. traffic

From our headquarters to town there is one direct road with a few lateral roads. Running a quick work

errand, delivering a bid, or getting from project to project can prove to be difficult and timely. In the event

of a road accident, the road is normally shut down completely for up to one hour and then one lane of

traffic may open allowing traffic to inch along for hours.

Nan, Inc. Ranks No. 2 in the State

For the fourteenth consecutive year, Nan, Inc. has the honor of being recognized as one of the top 25 contractors in Hawaii by Building Industry

Magazine. With a total revenue of $246.7 million in 2013, Nan, Inc. shot up from No. 6 in 2012 to 2nd place in 2013! Th e signifi cant rise in revenue from 2012 ($179.3 million) is attributed to a number of sizable projects that were in construction during 2013, such as JPAC, QUAD B, and QUAD D. We also had several awards for projects that were completed in 2013, such as the Masonry Institute of Hawaii’s “Project of the Year” for the Physical Fitness Center at Camp Smith, the Historic Hawaii Foundation’s “Historic Preservation Award” for the Production Services Support Facility at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, and the General Contractors Association’s (GCA) Excellence Award for the Ane Keohokalole Highway in Kona. Considering Nan, Inc. is a fairly young company at only 24 years old, this is quite an achievement and a testament to the hard work and dedication of its over 500 employees. To put things into perspective, the No. 1 ranked company is over 100 years old! Imagine what the next 75 years has in stored for us! Congratulations, Nan, Inc.!

Hawaii Foodbank Food & Fund Drive

At its heart, Nan, Inc. has always been a company that strives to give more than it receives. In 2008, several employees decided to start a “little food drive” to

benefi t the Hawaii Foodbank. When news of the food drive started to spread to all the employees, the company jumped behind the eff ort by off ering a company match of $1 for every $1 and $1 for every food item donated. It wasn’t long before this “little food drive” turned into something much greater. Th e fi rst year of the Nan, Inc. Annual Food Drive, the company and its employees donated a combined $3,435.00 and 418 pounds of food to the Hawaii Foodbank.

Every year since 2008, our Annual Food Drive continued to bring in more and more cash and food donations to help local families in need. In 2009, our food donation climbed to 1809 pounds of canned foods, instant noodles, and rice. By 2010, the cash donation surpassed $11,000.00 for the year.

Th e yearly increase in participation was fueled by both a giving spirit and competitive nature. Diff erent jobsites and departments within the main offi ce were grouped into diff erent teams that tried to outraise one another. When

competition got fi erce, some employees sought innovative ways to further stretch their donation dollars by taking advantage of the company match. Employees would scour the Sunday ads for 3 for $1, 4 for $1, and in some cases, 5 for $1 specials which would equate to a $5 for every $1 match. Other jobsites set up special palettes as receiving centers for nonperishable goods.

With the growing interest in giving back, our food drive in 2013 was our biggest ever. In total, Nan, Inc. donated 3,372 pounds of food and $18,541.15 to the Hawaii Foodbank and another $671.00 to Th e Food Basket, Inc. on the Big Island. Over the six years, Nan, Inc. and its employees have donated a grand total of $62,149.15 and about 12,500 pounds of food.

give more than it receives.

In April, Team Nan, Inc. geared up to participate in the American Cancer Society’s overnight 2014 Relay for Life of Leeward Oahu event, joining the community

in celebrating the lives of people who have battled cancer, remembering loved ones lost, and fighting back against the disease. Relay took place at Kapolei High School Athletic Field; this year’s event started on Friday evening and ended on Saturday morning.

We had 39 registered team members from our Nan, Inc. ‘ohana, extended family, and friends who showed their support by joining us at Relay. Only a handful of members, however, were able to stay overnight and two more returned to help break-down the next morning. We have plans to participate in the UH Manoa Relay for Life in April 2015 and encourage everyone to spread the word now and to participate.

To keep the team energized throughout the event, everyone enjoyed the ‘ono-licious food provided by A Catered Experience. Once again, upon hearing about our team’s mission, Manager Ron Hattori also graciously donated Portuguese Bean Soup and Rice as well as vegetarian chili

for 100 people that were sold as part of our team’s on-site fundraiser; much thanks to Ron and A Catered Experience for your support!

Nan, Inc. is proud to have been a top $5K sponsor of Relay, though it was humbled by the amount of additional support that our participants were able to garner this year. Special kudos to our own Cathy Ka’aina who was the top fundraiser for the entire event, raising $3000, which is nearly half of our entire team’s total. Team Nan, Inc. raised over $6,200 for the American Cancer Society in hopes that one day this disease will no longer threaten the lives of our loved ones or claim another year of anyone’s life.

Nan, Inc. Gives $1 Million to Support a Skilled Nursing Facility for St. Francis Healthcare

Nan, Inc. presented a check for $1 million to St. Francis Healthcare Foundation of

Hawaii in December of 2013.

“St. Francis has a special place in my heart,” says Patrick Shin, owner of Nan, Inc. “I hope this contribution can help St. Francis in some way.” Th e gift , which was made at the Foundation’s holiday reception, is the second major donation earmarked for the new 119-bed Clarence T.C. Ching Skilled Nursing Facility. A skilled nursing facility serves those who are discharged from a long-term acute care hospital that may need ongoing medical nursing care or specialized rehabilitative services before they are ready to return home.

As one who cared for his aging parents, Patrick believes a skilled nursing facility will benefi t the community. Before her death in 2008, Patrick's mother came to St. Francis twice a week for dialysis. When she was hospitalized, Patrick visited her at St. Francis anywhere from two to three times a day. It was during

that time that he came to know the St. Francis Healthcare Foundation.

“We are extremely pleased that Nan, Inc. has embraced our vision for the skilled nursing facility. Th is very generous gift was Patrick’s way of giving back to the community to show his appreciation,” says Sister William Marie Eleniki, OSF, the President of the Foundation. “It’s always heartwarming to hear how St. Francis is making a diff erence in people’s lives.”

Th e Clarence T.C. Ching Skilled Nursing Facility is targeted to open later this summer. Th is project consists of converting almost 50,000 square feet of space on the third, fourth, and fi ft h fl oors of the Sullivan Building, an

existing structure on the St. Francis Liliha campus. Th e architect for this project is Architects Hawaii Ltd., and the general contractor is Allied Builders System. Th e new facility will feature private and semi-private rooms, which diff er from most nursing homes in Hawaii that have wards for four or more people.

Th e existing services available for seniors at the St. Francis Liliha campus include cancer treatment, dialysis services, laboratory testing, outpatient endoscopy and imaging, pharmacy services, radiation therapy and radiology. With the launch of the new skilled nursing facility, the campus also can off er adult day care, home health, home and inpatient hospice care, and bathing and personal grooming services. Th e Foundation looks to further complement these services to meet the growing needs of Hawaii’s older adult population. Future projects may include the addition of assisted living, independent living, and senior community centers.
