Fay & Wright was founded in 1983 by Peter Fay and Ed Wright doing primarily residential site work excavating.
In 1987, they purchased theirfirstportablerockcrushing plant and started to move the focus of the company to crushing and recycling unwanted rock and demolition debris into usable aggregate products. In 2016, the company was purchased by Jared Denis and Lee Baldwin, who had a vision of taking the company to the next level.
When Denis and Baldwin purchased the company, it had three crushing spreads and a goal, which seemed lofty at the time, of processing 1 million tons a year. Today, the company has far exceeded that goal and will easily process3milliontonsin2022,with the ability to run up to eight crushing spreads.
One of the sites that Fay & Wright currently is working at is a large quarry in northern New Jersey. The quarry is nearing the end of its lifespan and will be closing in the near future. Fay & Wright is assisting in getting some of the last usable product out, oper-
ating two spreads, producing item 4 as a dense grade processed material along with a 7/8-minus aggregate, which is diced up into ¼-inch, 3/8-inch and a 57 (a manufactured stone).
A Fisher air separator is used in each of the two spreads to produce concrete and asphalt grade sand; the Fisher removes very fine particles that are almost talc powder size, leaving behind manufactured sand that is coarse enough to be used for asphalt and concrete production.
According to Denis, president of Fay &Wright, “We were originally brought into this site to consume the reserves that were underneath the quarry’s original stationary plant as the quarry nears the end of
its life. When the plant was removed, it left a very large rock knob on the site, which the quarry owner did not have the means to process. So, that’s where we came into play with our portable gear. So far, we have taken about 60 feet down from the level that we started at. We have produced well more than 2 million tons from the site.”
Fay & Wright’s project is scheduled to be completed at the end of the 2023 season, at which time it estimates that it will have produced 3.5 million tons of material.
Fay & Wright prides itself on its repeat business and reputation.
“We have the capacity to give our customers well graded stones,” Denis said. “Each customer has a target gradation for their produced stone. If we don’t meet or exceed their expectations, we won’t be invited back. That’s why we invest in the best equipment out there, so that we can meet and exceed customer expectations.”
The crushing screening and excavating equipment are key components to any spread, but not see QUARRY page 66
We have produced well more than 2 million tons from the site.”
JaredDenis Fay & Wright Fay & Wright used an expensive system of portable conveyors to stockpile materials throughout the quarry. In this type of setting an excavator such as the Link-Belt is the machine of choice versus trying to feed the crusher with a rubber-tired loader.

Zachary Manz, president of Contractors Equipment Companies Inc., recently announced that his company, which also includes Contractors Sales Company in Albany and Middletown, N.Y., has acquired the shares of Baschmann Services Inc. in Elma, N.Y.
Baschmann Services Inc. is a 36-year-old heavy construction equipment and aggregate equipment dealership that was established in 1986 by Peter Baschmann and his wife, Cindy. The company has two divisions – earthmoving and excavating – that represents the following lines of equipment primarily in western New York State: Kobelco, Hitachi loaders, ASV, Loftness, Paladin attachments, Perkins Diesel engines, Soosan hammers, Fecon, Harley attachments, Striker hydraulic breakers, Carlton stump grinders, Ferguson compaction, FRD Furukawa, Felling trailers, Virnig attachments and Parker.
Baschmann Services also has an aggregate division that services aggregate producers and recyclers all across New York State representing manufacturers that include Anaconda, TCI Manufacturing and McLanahan.
Moving ahead, Baschmann Services will work closely with its sister company, who represents manufacturers that include Hitachi wheel loaders, Link-Belt excavators, Sandvik surface drills, Midland road wideners, Rokbak articulating haulers, Rammer, Rawson Manufacturing and a variety of construction equipment attachments.
The management team of Contractors Equipment Companies made it clear that the basis for the acquisition of the shares of Baschmann Services Inc. by Contractors Equipment Companies is to provide a more comprehensive team for both Baschmann Services and Contractors Sales and to ensure a long-term succession plan for Baschmann Services.
Management also clearly stated to the employees of Baschmann Services and Contractors Sales that, moving forward, everything is business as usual. Pete Baschmann will be staying on board at Baschmann services and will continue to be handling day-to-day operations.
According to Baschmann, now general manager of Baschmann Services, “The single location dealer model does not have a future,” he said. “Equipment manufacturers are pushing dealers to be larger, multi-location operations. I believe that this is in the best interest of my employees, cus-
tomers and manufacturers. By joining forces, we will be able to provide a better service experience for our customers.”
This acquisition will provide additional resources for both teams at Contractors Sales and Baschmann Services, as well as expanded customer service coverage with future enhanced crushing and screening service and support capabilities in the eastern part of New York State.
“We are excited to have the Baschmann Services team as a part of the Contractors Equipment group of companies,” said Zach Manz, president of Contractors Equipment Companies Inc. “This acquisition provides additional opportunities for Contractors Sales and Baschmann Services while expanding our capabilities to continue serving customers at the highest level possible.”

The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) and its coalition allies Jan. 18 sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in federal court over the agency’s recent proposal that expands federal jurisdiction over roadside ditches.
ARTBA contends the Dec. 30, 2022, rule will slow delivery of transportation projects and threatens to nullify the benefits of the 2021 federal infrastructure law. At issue is how EPA defines bodies of water that qualify as “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS), and therefore subject to federal authority.
The lawsuit argues the new rule violates both Clean Water Act and the U.S. Constitution and will “result in case-specific, time consuming and inconsistent analyses” which will “substantially increase the costs and burdens” of obtaining regulatory permits for transportation improvement projects.
The latest EPA rule is the third time in seven years the agency has attempted to define WOTUS.ARTBAhas previously litigated the issue, asking federal courts to decide what is a protected waterway.
“Unfortunately, the third time is not a charm in this case,” said Nick Goldstein, ARTBA’s vice president of regulatory and legal issues. “The latest WOTUS proposal could result in regulatory nightmares at a time when both parties in Congress, though the bipartisan infrastructure law, have emphasized the need to reduce delays and deliver transportation improvements to the communities who need them most.”
How roadside ditches are treated by the EPAhas long been a concern for the transportation construction industry. ARTBA has consistently urged EPA not to consider ditches as protected waterways under WOTUS, noting that they act as an important conduit for draining water from roads under construction — an essential safety practice.

GOMACO announced the death of its president, CEO and company cofounder, Gary L. Godbersen. Mr. Godbersen peacefully passed away on Jan. 17. He was 83 years old.
A Celebration of Life service will be held Saturday, Feb. 18, 2023, at the Skate Palace, 203 Susan Lawrence Dr, Ida Grove, IA 51445, from 4 to 7 p.m.
Mr. Godbersen dedicated his life to the concrete slipform paving industry. His career in concrete began in 1963 in Minnesota where he took on leadership roles in two family businesses as president of Highway Bridge Inc. and vice president of Godbersen-Smith Construction Company.
In 1965, Mr. Godbersen, along with his father, Harold, created Godbersen Manufacturing Company (GOMACO) to manufacture bridge deck finishing machines. GOMACO grew to include a full line of concrete paving equipment and became the worldwide leader in concrete paving technology, holding several domestic and international patents for new machine innovations.
Mr. Godbersen served as GOMACO’s chairman of the board, president and CEO since 1986. Other leadership roles within his family-owned companies include: chairman of the board and president of GOMACO International Ltd. in the United Kingdom since 1984; chairman of the board, president and CEO of Godbersen-Smith Construction Company in Ida Grove since 1986; president and chairman of the board of BOBALEE Hydraulics in Laurens, Iowa, since 1986; and president of Gomaco Trolley Company in Ida Grove since 1982.
Mr. Godbersen was a leader within the construction indus-
try, as well, lending his time and talents to all the industry’s major organizations throughout his career. Because of his dedication, he was recognized by his peers for several of the construction industry’s highest honors and awards. He was one of 12 individuals honored as an inaugural inductee into the Construction Equipment Hall of Fame for outstanding contributions to the construction equipment industry. He was a recipient of the Annual American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) Award. ARTBA also named Mr. Godbersen as one of the “Top 100 Private Sector Transportation & Design Construction Professionals of the 20th Century.”
Mr. Godbersen earned the Governor’s Achievement Award from the Iowa Department of Economic Development for community betterment. He was the Iowa and Nebraska recipient of the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. He earned the construction industry’s most coveted award, the Hartmann-Hirshman-Egan Award from the American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) in 2015. He also was a member of the Construction Equipment Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame honors pioneering individuals who have invented, managed, built and led the off-road equipment industry.
Mr. Godbersen spent his career traveling the world promoting the advantages of GOMACO’s full line of concrete slipform paving products and advancing the usage of concrete on paving projects. He enjoyed visiting with contractors and finding solutions for their project challenges. He loved his family and took great pride in his children and grandchildren.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike announced Jan. 17 that it has awarded the first construction contract for the next major phase of the Mon/Fayette Expressway in the western part of the state.
In a news release, the Turnpike awarded a nearly $214 million contract to Pittsburghbased Trumbull Corp. to build the first section of the road. The new stretch of the highway lies mostly in Jefferson Hills but also reaches into West Mifflin and Clairton, southeast of the Steel City.
The roadwork is part of an estimated $1.3 billion section that will run from an already completed section at Pa. Highway 51 in Jefferson Hills to Pa. 837 in Duquesne.
A public meeting is expected to be held in February explaining the scope of work, turnpike officials said, adding the forum will be advertised locally and on social media.
“This long-awaited project represents a significant investment in the [Monongahela] Valley that will not only enhance mobility in the area but is expected to bring economic opportunities to the region,” noted Turnpike Commissioner Sean Logan in the release.
Last year, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson Inc., in Hunt Valley, Md., won a $20 million contract to oversee construction of the entire 8-mi. southern part of the
Mon/Fayette, which is divided into seven different construction sections.
The entire project is projected to take approximately six years to build, according to the Turnpike.
“Unlike the Southern Beltway, we will be able to open portions of the Mon/Fayette Expressway as they are built,” said Brad Heigel, chief engineer with the Turnpike.
“Once the overhead toll gantries are in place and tested, the section can be opened to traf-
fic.”
Currently, the Mon/Fayette Expressway stretches 54 mi. from Interstate 68, near Morgantown, W.Va., to Pa. 51.
Eventually, the toll road will extend to the Monroeville, Pa. area.
The Mon/Fayette highway was conceived in the 1960s as a lifeline to the steel industry, which had nine major plants in the area, employing a total of about 60,000 people, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. There were many starts and stops along the way to construction, and the original concept of including a wing to Pittsburgh along the north side of the Monongahela River met with political and financial objections.
Now, more than a generation later, the highway is ready to move forward — in a reduced scope. Dropping the link to Pittsburgh and substantially narrowing the medians has reduced the overall cost of the project to about half of the original $4 billion estimate.
The new toll road also will serve as a test bed for innovative transportation construction techniques that could use noise reduction walls to reduce pollution and produce
electricity from traffic-generated road vibrations for road signs, among other things.
The four pilot projects will include:
• Redesigning noise walls using a hollow, honeycomb-like material to reduce sound and treating it with a catalyst that will capture nitrogen oxides generated by vehicles with combustion engines. The process is designed to convert the pollutants into harmless nitrates that will dissipate naturally, like a car’s catalytic converter.
• Using the natural vibrations that vehicles cause on road surfaces to generate electricity for road signs. Researchers will test whether the sensors to capture vibrations work better with asphalt or concrete surfaces before they choose a location to try the system, which also would use recycled plastic.
• Creating a digital, three-dimensional model of a 1-mi. section of the Expressway as it is being constructed. The model will simulate and monitor the wear and tear on the road over the years.
• Testing which method works best for recharging electric vehicles as they drive over the road surface. The process involves putting charging elements just under the roadway that are activated when electric vehicles drive over them and recharge their batteries as they drive.
The roadwork is part of an estimated $1.3 billion section that will run from an already completed section at Pa. Highway 51 in Jefferson Hills to Pa. 837 in Duquesne.Gary L. Godbersen

Eastern Pennsylvania’s Eiseman Construction, a roofing and exterior remodeling contractor, announced Jan. 13 that it is expanding its dedication to sustainable business operations by partnering with Revolution Recovery, a nearby construction recycling services company, to recover and reuse cedar shingles removed from recent construction projects.
The company’s arrangement with Revolution Recovery enables Eiseman to keep old shingles from re-roofing projects out of area landfills.
“We are committed to creating sustainable practices in our construction work,” said Melissa Eiseman, owner of the Bucks County construction firm. “It is important to us to ensure that materials from our clients’ original cedar roofing are put to good use, whenever possible.”
Revolution Recovery provides recycling services in Philadelphia, Delaware and the Lehigh Valley.
The company’s Jamie Wybar said Revolution Recovery is excited to work with Eiseman and looks forward to developing and expanding partnerships with other construction companies throughout the region. The recycler takes in about 1,500 tons of construction and manufacturing waste each
day at its locations in Allentown, Philadelphia and New Castle, Del.
“A huge amount of construction and development is going on in the Philadelphia area, and the suburbs, and doing it as responsibly as possible is important,” he explained.
“More than half of the materials that we bring into our yards to sort ultimately are able to be diverted from landfills, which is a win for all of us.”
The cedar shingles from recent Eiseman Construction projects join other recovered wood at the Revolution Recovery yards, Wybar said.
The wood is fed through an industrial grade woodchipper equipped with magnets to pull out nails and other metals. The leftover material is chipped, and the remnants are loaded into a tractor trailer and sent to farms and other places that need mulch for
flowerbeds, chicken coops and nature trails. Additionally, the ground-up wood is often stuffed inside erosion-control fiber rolls for use on construction sites.
Revolution Recovery has donated much of this recycled material to community projects including Weaver’s Way Co-op sites in the Philadelphia area, the Urban Girls Farm at Schuylkill Center, Temple Community Gardens, Resource Exchange and Mural Arts Philadelphia.
A full-service contractor, Eiseman Construction has served residential and commercial clients throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware for more than 50 years, installing new and replacing aging roofs with materials includ-
ing asphalt, slate, cedar and metal.

As part of a massive project to clean and paint nine interstate bridges and six interstate ramps through downtown Charleston, W. Va., construction crews have begun the process of removing the Capitol Hill walkway that crosses Interstates 64 and 77, the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) announced Jan. 13.
The walkway, closed in the early 1990s due to safety concerns, is part of a bridge over the freeways and features a series of enclosed stairs, towers and walkways.
WVDOH Chief Engineer of Operations Greg Bailey said the contractor has started the early work of removing the walkway and demolitions crews are on site in Charleston.
“As part of this project of painting and concrete coating, we are demolishing the Capitol Walkway,” Bailey said, adding that once it is removed, “the exposed areas that result will be coated and painted like the rest of the system.”
Last March, Baltimore, Md.-based Blastech Enterprises Inc. was awarded a contract for $27.4 million to clean and paint
the series of bridges and ramps on I-77 and I-64. Its funding came from a combination of federal and state monies.
The project includes structures over Piedmont Road, Bigley Avenue and Court
Street, as well as ramps accessing Court Street, Leon Sullivan Way and Brooks Street in West Virginia’s capital city. The painting effort is necessary to prolong the life of the bridges and ramps, Bailey noted.
Painting has been the most visible aspect of the project, according to WVDOH, with the bridges colored dark blue like the paint on the nearby Fort Hill Bridge. He added that a white coating and sealant also will go onto exposed concrete surfaces and structural steel.
Currently, crews have paused the painting and concrete coating for the winter and are taking advantage of the time by beginning the walkway demolition phase of the project. The contractor has begun removing material from inside the structure in preparation.
WVDOH cautioned there may be lane closures during the demolition, but the state agency, part of the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT), will keep the driving public informed of upcoming closures via sign boards installed along the interstates.
Bailey also said the walkway’s demolition will be controlled by Blastech to minimize the impact on the public.
The planned completion date for the project is this November.
“We are committed to creating sustainable practices in our construction work.”

Pre-pandemic attendance levels marked the World of Concrete’s return to Las Vegas in January for the concrete construction industry’s annual trade show.
“We’re proud to exceed expectations in strong attendance as we return to pre-pandemic levels,” Jackie James, the event’s vice-president said on the final day of the show. “As World of Concrete 2023 entered its final day, the show floor and education sessions remain buzzing with energy. This event leads global trends in showcasing the newest exciting products, seminars and innovative materials aimed at tackling industry challenges.”
Most exhibitors were enthusiastic about the attendance, especially considering that ConExpo will be held at the same venue in March.
Registered attendees were able to view equipment and visit with representatives of manufacturers from all facets on concrete construction, from large paving and milling machines to walk-behind trowels.

Hyundai wheel loaders have the power and performance
— not to mention top-notch interiors, accurate onboard weighing system, unique bucket design for better load retention, clear sight lines, and handy tech — that make life on the jobsite easier. So you can do more without feeling like
The familiar brand of orange construction equipment known as Doosan will now be called DEVELON throughout the world.
Under the new brand name, the company will continue providing innovative products and solutions that exceed expectations, further cementing its status as a global leader in construction equipment and solutions for the infrastructureindustry,themanufacturersaid.
Work began to identify a new brand name to replace Doosan following the August 2021 sale of Doosan Infracore to HD Hyundai (formerly Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings Co. HHIH). The name DEVELON was chosen to convey the company’s drive to develop onward to bring innovative solutions to the construction equipment industry through technological transformation and the development of exceptional equipment and services.
“We believe the new DEVELON brand will help us build on the success we’ve had in NorthAmerica over the past 30 years and throughout the world for more than 80 years,” said Todd Roecker, vice president of growth initiatives.
DEVELON will continue to focus on manufacturing construction equipment to build critical infrastructure for the betterment of communities and societies in North America and beyond. DEVELON products and services will help customers and partners become industry leaders in construction, logging, recycling, mining, rental and agriculture. Efforts also will be placed on advancing sustainable development through alternative energy sources of power for construction equipment.
The announcement is the first of many in a series of steps to launch the new brand. Visitors to ConExpo-Con/AGG in March
will see the next phase of the launch with newly branded construction equipment in the outdoor DEVELON exhibit. This will include the latest developments in the Concept-X autonomous equipment solution and live demonstrations at the outdoor exhibition in the Festival Grounds lot (F9153).
“Our commitment to the construction equipment industry and advancing new technologies has never been stronger than it is today,” said Roecker. “DEVELON anticipates changes in the industry and prepares solutions to address these challenges. This is evident by our ongoing development of the world’s first autonomous jobsite solution — Concept-X — and the work we are doing with alternative energy sources like electricity and battery packs for our mini excavators.”
After ConExpo, continued efforts will be madetoadvancethebrandatthelocaldealer level through updates to signage and machine decals. Customers are likely to begintoseenewlybrandedmachinesattheir local DEVELON dealerships and on job
sites as early as the end of Q2 2023.
In North America, DEVELON will continue supporting its more than 180 dealer locations in the United States and Canada.
DEVELON NorthAmerican operations will remain headquartered near Atlanta, in Suwanee, Ga., where the company continues to offer a training center for dealership service technicians.
The company will maintain exceptional parts availability through its two regional parts distribution centers: one inAtlanta and a second in the Pacific Northwest. A customization plant in Savannah, Ga., will still play a key role in supplying machines to DEVELON dealers and customers: getting products into the hands of customers faster, with the configurations they need for their applications.
“Ourdealersandcustomersshouldexpect the same strong support from DEVELON in the future,” said Roecker. “We are committed to the long-term success of the new
brand and ensuring our customers have the support they need to be successful. DEVELON makes best-in-class equipment, excellinginperformance,durabilityandreliability. That commitment will remain constant.”
DEVELON will continue as a subsidiary in the Hyundai Genuine group alongside Hyundai Construction Equipment (HCE). These two subsidiaries will remain independent construction equipment companies under HD Hyundai. Together, the two brands will position Hyundai Genuine as a global top-5 player in the construction equipment industry.
“We’ve grown our construction equipmentofferinginNorthAmericawithourline of mini excavators and most recently the addition of dozers,” said Roecker. “These product expansions represent our goal of providing a full line of equipment for our dealers and our customers. We believe that this demonstrates our commitment to North America, and we look forward to continued growth here for many years to come.”
Associated Builders and Contractors and leading global construction management software provider Procore, headquartered in Carpinteria, Calif., announced they will expand their years-long relationship through a strategic partnership that will provideABC members with trusted, innovative technologies and solutions to help better develop their people, win more work, create safer job sites and increase profitability.
Procore is the onlyABC strategic partner that is a technology solutions provider.
“Procore’s purpose-built, innovative solutions would strengthen the value propo-
sition of any general contractor, specialty contractor or owner in the contracting community,” said Michael Bellaman, ABC president and CEO.
“Executing world-class performance requires contractors to continuously innovate, and if businesses choose to lead and commit with forward-thinking resources like Procore, we can create the conditions for all to do their work without incident, be more profitable and win more work. We are thrilled to announce Procore as our newest strategic partner, joining a group of handselected, trusted resources for ABC’s more
than 22,000 member companies.”
“Procore’s vision is to improve the lives of everyone in construction, and for the past 20 years, we have committed to be the best partner to the industry,” said Tooey Courtemanche, Procore founder, president and CEO. “AsABC’s only technology solutions strategic partner, we are thrilled to expand access to our platform, further integrate our industry-advancing initiatives with ABC’s mission, and ultimately help folks run safer and more profitable businesses, while doing the best work of their lives.”
“There’s not a lot of technology that is subcontractor-focused,” said Morgan Fountain, enterprise project manager of ABC member TD Industries, Dallas.

FAE is upgrading one of its most popular products on a global scale: the DML/SSL forestry mulcher for skid steers. All innovations are aimed at optimizing the head’s efficiency and productivity when combined with 50 to 75 hp skid steers.
First, the frame and push frame’s design has been redesigned to offer greater visibility in all working conditions. It’s one detail that will make a big difference in operator’s comfort and efficiency, with the ability to monitor the tasks at hand with more precision, the manufacturer said.
The rotors also are seeing big changes. The DML/SSL can now mount a rotor with robust Mini C/3 teeth or with Mini BL blades, both ideal for making the most
out of the efficient Bite Limiter technology.
This technology makes it possible to achieve more productivity in less time when mulching any kind of wood. The
The DML/SSL can now mount a rotor with robust Mini C/3 teeth or with Mini BL blades, both ideal for making the most out of the efficient Bite Limiter technology.
Bite Limiter rotor comes with special wear-resistant steel limiters that limit the teeth’s reach (bite) so that there is less power demand and a consistent working speed. The Bite Limiter technology also minimizes rotor stalling and optimizes fuel consumption.
The new DML/SSL is available with FAE’s exclusive Sonic technology. This Sonic system ensures that the skid steer and the FAE mulcher are completely aligned by automatically calibrating the mulcher’s parameters. Sonic continuously
manages the mulcher’s hydraulic settings, for a significant boost in overall productivity of up to 30 percent.
The Sonic system also minimizes rotor stalling and shortens recovery time due to the quick recovery of the rotor’s rpm. There is more that the new DML/SSL offers. The new Spike Pro counter blades ensure low power absorption and a finer granulometry of the processed material. The new interchangeable and adjustable skids offer greater precision. The optional integrated oil cooler ensures the best performance even in hotter climates, according to the manufacturer.
The new DML/SSL is available in four models — DML/SSL/VT, DML/SSL/BL, DML/SSL/SONIC, DML/SSL/BL/SONIC — and in two widths for each model. For more information, visit fae-group.com/en.
Caterpillar has introduced new attachments for its range of Cat skid steer loaders (SSL), compact track loaders (CTL) and compact wheel loaders (CWL). These purposebuilt attachments cover multiple tasks, including the handling and scooping of trees, shrubs and bushes, removing and carrying stumps, and loading mulch.
The full range of new attachments feature durable construction for reliability in the field, and deeply serrated steps integrated into attachment design deliver secure footing for operators when entering and exiting the loaders.
Cat nursery forks come in manual and hydraulic designs. Both offer a hydraulic pivoting fork that allows the left fork to swing open to fit around multiple root balls. The right fork adjusts either manually or hydraulically, depending on the version, allowing contractors to pick and place desired trees and plants and load/unload them quickly and efficiently.
With their 70.4-in. usable fork length, the new largecapacity nursery forks can hold up to three 28-in. root balls or one 54-in. root ball. The pivoting fork design delivers maximum opening for grasping large root balls, while the side shifting fork provides greater control and proper fit when handling different sized root balls.
The 25-degree, diamond tread plate fork provides a
secure grip for maximum load retention, matching the cut angle of more B&B plants. Its integrated grab handle offers a secure contact point for machine entry/exit.
The new Cat nursery grapple is well suited for handling ball and burlap trees and potted plants. Its paddle shape wraps around root balls ranging in size from 28 to 54 in. without damaging the root system or tree.
Offering better control and placement, the grapple’s pivoting design helps manipulate the load in numerous positions to reduce the need for manually handling heavy plants while placing them at the nursery or loading them for transport. The tool is capable of swinging 90 degrees to the left and right, and its ability to downward tilt reaching nearly 90 degrees at any point of rotation allows easy laying of material for loading.
The new 1.0 cu. yd. mulch bucket loads mulch into pickup trucks and tight spaces. With its narrow, 56-in. width, the mulch bucket comfortably loads material inside the bed of most pickup trucks without concern for contact or damage.
Minimizing waste, its smaller profile delivers the necessary clearance to load trucks without material spillage. Its 1yd. measurement is lasered into the side of the bucket, allow-
ing customers to be confident they are getting a full load.The design’s adjustable machine interface provides proper ground contact with different hinge pin heights, so it works effectively throughout the range of Cat SSL, CTL and CWL machines.
The stump bucket for Cat SSL and CTL models is purpose designed for removing and carrying tree stumps. Long and narrow floors allow for easy digging around and below tree and large shrub root balls. Its serrated side plates easily saw through stubborn roots, while replaceable teeth ensure long service life with a BHLstyle that can be changed to fork or pick style teeth. Heavy steel construction withstands twisting and prying in the tough jobs for long life reliability.
The Cat tree scoop efficiently handles shrubs and small trees at nursery sites and in landscaping applications. Capable of digging and scooping up to a 36-in. diameter, the scoop easily transports or transplants trees and other materials. The spade profile easily digs into the ground, and a flattened tip cuts roots for easy tree removal. Welded gussets and thick plates lend to its rugged design and increased durability.

Volvo Trucks North America has upgraded I-Shift, an automated manual transmission with digital intelligence. I-Shift now offers a dual power take-off (PTO) that expands the efficiency benefits, transmission functionality and overall cost savings.
The new dual PTO allows I-Shift to incorporate two independently clutched DIN 5462 drives, or one SAE 1410 flange and one DIN 5462 drive, separated by the vehicle’s centerline. By separating the two drives, space is created to allow for the installation of two pumps, simplifying installations and serviceability in the field. The output drives are independently clutched, enabling the vehicle to serve applicationseitherseparatelyorsimultaneously.
“Leveraging the new capabilities of a dual PTO in Volvo’s IShift transmission increases the truck’s operational versatility — a customer can haul portland cement one day and aggregate material the next,” said Andy Hanson, product marketing manager at Volvo Trucks NorthAmerica.
“Volvo’s factory installed PTOs and pumps make the upfitting process easier, increasing firsttime quality and overall reliability for our customers.”
The I-Shift transmission with the
dual PTO improves functionality, productivity, fleet utilization and versatility. It also complements the existing single, double and triple PTO suite of offerings.
The PTO’s factory supplied DIN 5462 ports and SAE 1410 flanges are interchangable with the SAE 1310 flange and SAE-C and SAE-BB ports, which are all offered through Volvo’s parts distribution network. The factory-installed dual PTO, which carry the same warranty as the I-Shift transmission, also includes dash switches to provide independent left and right side control.
Volvo installed PTOs also can receive factory installed Parker gear and piston pumps.
An expanded benefit of the I-Shift transmission is that it comes in 12, 13 and 14-speed configurations. I-Shift alsoisavailablewithanoverdrivegear and crawler gears of either 17.5:1 or 32:1, providing the ability to cruise at highway speeds while still allowing for excellent efficiency, “startability” and slow-speed maneuverability.
“For more than 15 years, Volvo Trucks’ I-Shift intelligent automated manual transmission has set industry benchmarks for fuel efficiency, vehicle performance, safety and driver comfort. With expanded capabilities thanks to the dual PTO, the Volvo Trucks customer will see more benefits in functionality and cost savings as well,” Hanson said.

Community Compost Company, located along Route 209 in Kerhonkson (Hudson Valley), between Ellenville and Kingston, N.Y., roughly 90 mi. north of New York City, was founded by Eileen Banyra to pioneer a change in the disposal and processing of food waste, climate change and soil health through regional composting.
The company embraces practices that advance the four P’s — planet, people, place and profit — and is committed to producing a quality regenerative compost that supports the region’s health, Banyra said.
The company collects food scraps that traditionally would have ended up in a landfill and produces a very high-quality compost. It will collect food waste and/or accept food waste from businesses and institutions, providing them an ecological option in disposing of food materials while educating the public on the importance of food waste reduction.
The company also partners with farms and compost facilities in the Hudson Valley to process food scraps into compost. Compost is an extremely valuable ingredient in restoring soil by building health and structure to improve its water retention and plant vitality.
In 2016, a sister company was founded — Hudson Soil Company — which is Community Compost Company’s soil products division. Through this division, finished compost in bags and bulk is sold to garden centers, home gardeners and landscape com-
panies.
The food waste that is recycled into compost comes from a large variety of sources, including excess product from farm stands, school cafeterias, grocery stores, restaurants, manufacturing facilities that produce food products, virtually anyone who finds themselves in a situation with food scraps or spoilage, Banyra said.
Community Compost Company offers collection services in Ulster County, N.Y., northern New Jersey, Hoboken, N.J., and Jersey City. Because of the biological diversity in the ingredients its compost is made from, the quality of its compost is excellent, the company said.
The product is brought to market in a number of different ways, including bulk, 1-cubic foot bags and 8quart bags, which are available for purchase at Whole Foods and several local private retail stores and nurseries. It also sells a bagged product called “Plant Jolt,” which is a mix of compost and worm castings, essentially worm castings (AKA worm manure) and sells worm castings in bags and bulk. Banyra and her staff
see COMPOST page 56
have a continuous flow through vermicomposting system that contains hundreds of thousands of worms and these bins are specifically designed to harvest the excrement from the worms, which has proven to be an extraordinarily effective soil amendment. Their products are STA (Seal of Testing Assurance) by the US Composting Council & NOFA (Northeast Organic Farming Association) approved for use by organic farmers and their bagged product is being sold to local homeowners who want to grow their own organic foods.
Growing organic food has become very popular in the metropolitan areas, and Community Compost Company takes pride in the idea that it is taking food waste from the metropolitan areas, processing it and returning it in the form of a soil amendment to the urban areas that it came from.
Banyra’s entire life literally prepared her for her role at Community Compost Company — as a child she had an organic garden; in college she studied environmental science; she also took a city planning class. This education integrated some of her environmental interests with an urban-built environment. After college she spent 35 years as a city planner in the New Jersey area and did some development work in private consulting.
Through her experience with municipal government, she became very familiar with how much costly waste was involved in the disposal of food products, and this ultimately led to her vision to start Community Compost Company.
“It was really pretty straightforward for me,” she said. “It costs money to put food in a landfill; it takes up space unnecessarily. That food can be composted, the trick is doing it
efficiently and profitably. I also wanted to do something that is proactive for climate change, which putting carbon back into the soil is part of a climate mitigation strategy.”
When asked if food recycling was mandatory in the area around her facility Banyra stated, “Not yet, but it’s coming.
“Vermont is actually mandating residential food recycling. Parts of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts have all put some level of mandatory recycling in place for commercial operations that produce large volumes of food waste. But it’s done a little differently in each state. Here in NewYork, the amount of composting that a facility is required to do is tied to their proximity to a composting facility. In other words, if you are within
a reasonable distance of a composting facility, you’re expected to use it.
“Facilities like supermarkets, schools, colleges and those types of operations are mandated to recycle if they are within a reasonable proximity to the composting facility. Municipalities are being offered subsidies to start operating compost facilities. But it is a lot of work and in some cases, they are instead working with private parties such as us to get composting started in their area.”
Community Compost Company is located on a relatively small site of approximately 1-1/2 acre. By most standards for the industry, this would be considered a tiny site and it requires that they make good use of every inch of it.
A 13-cu.-yd. truck makes daily routes picking up food waste across the area locally and to north Jersey. The food scraps are mixed with some other biodegradable ingredients like wood chips, leaves and manure. These ingredients are thoroughly blended together in the proper recipe and then the piles are pushed from side to side at least once a week, creating what is referred to as an aerated static pile.
The piles are in a long straight row called a windrow and have perforated plastic pipes running beneath them, forcing air through to keep it aerobic. The air pipes run through the windrow, each with a bedding of the wood chips around it, which gives the air from the pipes an opportunity to be released and circulate into the organic matter. Considering the materials that are being handled in the composting facility one would expect a rather ripe odor. Surprisingly that is not the case. The ingredients that are added to the pile are quickly covered by more mature product called a biofilter.
When the truck comes in and drops its load of food waste on a concrete pad any contaminants that are not compostable have to be removed. The food waste is then mixed with wood chips and manure and then wheel loaders are used to distribute those materials into the windrows.
Once the product is mature, Community Compost Company has its own bagging operation. All compost is bagged on site before it is sent out for retail sale. Bags can be larger 1-cu. ft. bags, which typically weigh 25 to 30 lbs. depending on moisture content. They also have 8-quart bags
see COMPOST page 60
that are typically sold into urban markets like New York City.
The company also handles even smaller bags for some of its specialty items like worm castings, which can retail for as much as $20 a bag. With the limited size of its operation, Community Compost Company currently is producing approximately 3,000 cu. yds. of compost a year. The product ends up in the hands of some farmers, some urbanites with small organic gardens, as well as some specialized research farms. The customers are paying a premium price with the anticipation of a higher yield, a healthier yield, and a yield that is easier on the environment.
Community Compost Company owns a Ford F450 truck that is used primarily for deliveries. One of the key factors in purchasing over the road equipment has been the size of the equipment itself in keeping it under the CDL requirements, so that essentially any of Banyra’s employees with a driver’s license can operate the equipment without requiring a CDL license.
Community Compost Company is aWBE (Women Business Enterprise), and the majority of the employees are women. Food waste is very heavy, so liftgates have been added to the trucks to avoid unnecessary strain on the employees.
Another key piece of equipment for the composing facility is its trommel screen, which is essential to the mixing of the final product. Because of the size and scope of the business as they were getting started, the machine for this aspect of their operation was typically rented.
Community Compost Company would stockpile material and rent a trommel as needed, which worked for a period of time. But when its volume increased and COVID’s impact on the supply chain made the availability of a rented trommel screen extremely difficult, the company began to consider the purchase of a trommel screen.
“With us renting a screening plant three or four times a year, we had to stockpile product and as was mentioned earlier, with the size of our yard, space for stockpiling comes at a premium. So, another immediate benefit that drove us to the decision to purchase a trommel screen besides the lack of availability for rentals was the fact that we could no longer spare the stockpiling space in our yard,” Banyra said.
When asked what process she went
through in making her buying decision she replied, “Initially we had to justify the economics. We were spending about $2,000 to $3,000 every time we rented the screening plant and we would need to rent it 3 to 4 times a year, so our rental cost was between $12,000 and up to $15,000 a year. But those cost factors really became irrelevant once you factored in that without purchasing we could not locate a machine to rent due to supply chain issues. The other frustrating thing about the rental process was paying to rent the machine and then due to weather conditions not being able to use it. You’re shelling out all of that money and not making any products.”
The machine that best fit the need of Community Compost Company was a trom-
mel screen manufactured by Komptech, specifically its Primus model, which was sold to them by Simplicity Equipment and Service in Westfield, Mass.
COMPOST from page 56 see COMPOST page 64
“As we started the search process, I started inquiring among other people in our type of business what they recommended. The Komptech was recommended to me by another user. I then contacted Komptech’s U.S. headquarters in Colorado, and they referred me to Simplicity Equipment & Service in Westfield, Mass., who is their dealer for our area. Don Cotrona with Simplicity Equipment came and took care of
our needs. We ultimately bought the Primus model machine and we are very fortunate that we did.The biggest reason being is that the screening plant that we were renting broke down some time ago and still has not been available for rental.
“In preparing to make the purchase, I had attended various demonstrations, trade shows and events to gain as much familiarity with the machines and their process as possible. But, to be honest, really one of the most deciding factors in this purchase was that in the end when Don with Simplicity Equipment came to visit, he actually had a machine available.
“I was impressed with the overall design of the Komptech Primus. Everything pops open, its accessible, the setup is very easy, and Simplicity Equipment & Service was right there through the process to train us with everything that we would need to know. They gave us a lot of support before and after the sale.Although I really can’t say what kind of mechanical and parts service Simplicity Equipment offers after the sale because, fortunately, up to this point, the machine has operated trouble free. It was reassuring to know that the machine was manufactured and engineered in Austria. Frankly, you just don’t hear about poorly engineered and manufactured Austrian equipment.
“Once we started using the Komptech Primus, I was very impressed with the quality of product that it was making. The trommel drum itself has a spiral design which scrubs the material more effectively than the trommel we were renting. The product we are producing is 100 percent better than what was coming out of the previous screening plant. The reason, I believe, is that the material is spending more ride time within the trommel screen itself and thus produces a better product. We had been receiving some complaints previously about the consistency and sizing of our product and occasional contaminated material. This screener has eliminated the vast majority of those issues”
As trommel screens go, the Primus is a mid-sized machine constructed on a tandem axle trailer with a 4-yard hopper. The hopper walls are constructed at a steep angle to prevent bridging.
The trommel itself has 172-ft. of effective screening area and can be equipped with a grizzly or wind sifter option. The Primus is powered by a 51 hp Perkins Diesel engine and the machine is constructed of heavyduty components, manually folding discharge belts and a fuel-efficient hydraulic drive which helps enhance
to
performance ratio.
Theprimarypurposeofthetrommel screener is to sift out larger materials, creating a finer product, give a final mix to the composted material and most importantly, aerate it and break up any clumps so that the customer is receiving as consistent a material as possible.
“The materials that are processed throughthePrimustrommelhavebeen agingforfourtosixmonths.Thematerials are fed into the hopper and gradually moved into the trommel area of the screening plant.
“Notonlydoestheplantbreakdown clumps and aerate the material, but it also removes oversized pieces of material such as larger pieces of wood and separates them to another pile as they would not be a desirableelementinthesellablemulchproduct.
“The mulch itself is screened to 1/2-inch minus.The oversized materials are reused as a biofilter in the compost pile. The biofilter keeps gases and odors trapped inside the compost and it also adds biology to the mix because it’s already been composting for six months. The biofilter is a key element in keeping the odors down. Given enough time the oversized wood materials break down and become a part of the usable mulch.”
By its nature compost is not screened in hugevolumes,particularlyduringrainyperiods, which is the type of conditions that Community Compost Company dealt with for most of 2022. Rain will soak in and absorbintothecompostforeighttoteninchesofthesurface,whichcreatesaveryheavy, sticky product that is much more difficult to screen. Under those conditions, the Primus screens about 20 cubic yards per hour. In more ideal, drier conditions, it processes up to 65 cubic yards per hour.
Either way, according to Banyra, the production is significantly greater than what they were experiencing with the rental machine.
When asked if conditions ever dictate that moisture be added to the pile, Banyra responded “Yes, moisture is a necessary ingredient to the composting process and if conditions are dry enough we are equipped to add moisture if need be.”
Looking down the road at what the future may bring to her company, Banyra first focuses on the scale of the operation.
“We are small. By my standards very small, and somewhere down the road we need to scale this upwards. But we are also diversifying products that can come out of
hereincludingliquidextracts..Wetakecompost and vermicompost; we extract it in an aerated water process, so now we are literally selling the liquid biology to farmers.
“The worms castings production is still relatively small, but there is a growing cannabis market for high-quality soils, and the worm castings is highly sought after for thatmarket.Partofthechallengeisdeveloping the market for high-quality compost products but it’s coming. There is a big advantage to the grower in receiving compost that is created locally because they know what’s in it. Products that come from other parts of the country, and at times, other partsoftheworld,havedifferentbiologyand can contain contaminants that can have devastating effects.”
Down the road Banyra sees her operation growing to additional sites to meet demand. With the production that she is receiving with the Komptech Primus she sees the screening plant easily being transportable to multiple sites and meeting the screening demands of more than one facility.
The Komptech Primus was certainly a significant investment but according to Banyra, “All things considered I don’t know where we would be if we had not made this purchase. We may not have been able to makeanyproductatall.Thishasbeenalifesaver, and we have been very pleased working with Simplicity Equipment & Service. Don spent a lot of time with us in the setup process. He made sure our people understood all the fundamentals of operation and the maintenance process.”

to be overlooked are the excavators and loaders that are the key to feeding material to the plants.
According to Denis, “We use excavators to feed the plants on certain jobs where the logistics are impractical for a wheel loader. Unless you are on hard, flat land, a wheel loader can be impractical.
“A lot of developmental sites do not provide good conditions for the use of wheel loaders. Back in December, we needed to add an excavator to our fleet at this project. We made the decision that we wanted to give Link-Belt a try, and the best way for us to test a product is through rental.
The company rented a Link-Belt model 490 X4 112,000-lb. excavator from Chadwick-BaRoss.
“Jessie Miller, with Chadwick-BaRoss, almost coincidentally, made a sales call on our company as we were in the midst of trying to find a new excavator, and to be totally honest, one of the reasons we ended up going with the Link-Belt was availability.
“We had never owned a Link-Belt before, so it really wasn’t on our radar. But Jessie did a great job in showing us that the features in his product matched up very well with what we were used to buying and he was ready and willing to put the machine out to us on a rental so that we could gain confidence in the brand and gain confidence in the support from Chadwick-BaRoss. That rental paid off for Chadwick-BaRoss, we ultimately made the decision to purchase the machine.
“The machine has operated fundamentally trouble-free other than a couple of minor issues. When we have needed support from Chadwick-BaRoss they have responded immediately.

the interchange are the reported benefits.
MDOT SHA advertised the project contract for bidders in April 2022 and opened bids June 2022. The contract was awarded to Wagman Heavy Civil Inc. of York, Pa. Work began in December 2022 and is anticipated to be complete by summer 2025, weather permitting.
The total project cost of $39.8 million, includes $36.8 million for construction and $3 million for engineering, according to Shanteé Felix, media relations manager of the MDOT SHA office of communications.
Over the course of the project, crews will conduct the following activities: install latex-modified concrete (LMC) overlays on bridge decks; replace existing concrete parapets (side barriers) and bridge deck overhangs; asphalt approach paving; repair of structural steel; replacement of bridge drain inlets, joints, concrete curbs and slope protection; and upgrade traffic barriers and drainage.
MDOT SHA will perform the rehabilitation work on the following bridges:
• I-95 Ramp C (I-695 Outer Loop to I-95 North), crossing I-695.
• I-695 Ramp C (I-695 Outer Loop to I-95 North) crossing I-95 Ramp G (I-95 South to I-695 Outer Loop).
• I-95 North crossing I-695 Ramp C (I-695 Outer Loop to I-95 North) and Ramp G (I-95 South to I-695 Outer Loop).
• I-95 South crossing Ramp I (I-95 North to I-695 Inner Loop).
• I-95 South crossing I-695.
• I-95 South crossing over Ramp C (I-695 Outer Loop to I-95 North).
• I-95 Ramp G (I-95 South to I-695 Outer Loop) crossing I-695.
• I-95 North crossing I-695.
• I-95 North and Ramp H (Ramp from I-95 North to I-695 Outer Loop) crossing Sulphur Spring Road.
• I-95 South and Ramp D (I-695 Outer Loop to I-95 South), crossing Sulphur Spring Road.
Work requiring temporary lane and ramp closures will take effect overnights, between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. the next day, Sunday evenings to Friday mornings. Crews will use digital message boards, signs and barrels to direct and detour drivers safely through the work zone.
“The purpose of the project is to address concrete bridge decks before they receive a poor rating, and to upgrade existing bridge parapets to meet current safety criteria,” Felix said. “Proactively addressing bridge deck condition will avoid the need for major rehabilitation or replacement of these structures, which are located on a heavily traveled section of the interstate highway system.”
Felix said that contractors reported that the main challenge associated with project is that the scope is complete rehabilitation of 10 existing bridges, including removal and replacement of deck surface and parapets while maintaining traffic through one of the busiest interchanges (I-95/I-695) in the Baltimore region.
“Any time you are rehabilitating structures you are dealing with unknown conditions, and adjustments typically have to be made with the means and methods of construction to adjust in a timely manner to those conditions,” Felix said. “Additionally, the work zones are very small and work is typically done at night under maintenance of traffic. Proper
Crews will use digital message boards, signs and barrels to direct and detour drivers safely through the work zone.
planning is critical to perform the work safely and efficiently. Motorists are urged to slow down in the work zone and pay close attention.”
Felix stated that the project is unique in that 10 bridges are under construction simultaneously and sequencing of construction is very linear due to the phasing required to maintain traffic through the project corridor.
“There are also three different types of bridges being rehabilitated — voided concrete slab, steel girder and concrete box girder,” she said.
Approximately 50 people are reportedly assigned to the job.
Major subcontractors include P Flanigan for asphalt paving; IVS for hydro demolition; Sunrise for MOT; Site Services for E&S Controls; Interlock for rebar installation; Donegel for scarification; and Priceless for pavement

markings.
Major equipment used on the job by Wagman includes numerous miniexcavators with breakers for the demolition; Bid-Well roller pavers for placement of bridge decks; and latex mixers for furnishing LMC concrete.
Major equipment used by Flanigan includes pavers, rollers and a transfer buggy.
Major equipment used by IVS includes a hydro demolition machine, high pressure pumps and vacuum trucks.
The project includes 2,300 cu. yds. of concrete, 550 cu. yds. of latex-modified concrete, and 30,000 tons of asphalt.
According to a press release, to improve work zone safety, MDOT SHA has deployed Maryland SafeZones Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras along I-
95 at the I-695 interchange work area. SafeZones mobile enforcement vehicles rotate among designated construction zones along controlledaccess highways with posted speed limits of 45 mph or higher. Crews place large signs in advance of the work zones to alert drivers of automated speed enforcement use. A speed trailer displaying the posted speed limit and drivers’ speeds in advance of the enforcement vehicle will be on site.
A 21-day warning period began Dec. 12 for southbound I-95 motorists exceeding the posted speed limit of 55 mph. A 21-day warning period for northbound I-95 motorists began Dec. 27. After the 21-day warning period, Maryland State Police began reviewing and authorizing citations. By law, if a vehicle is recorded traveling at or above a specified rate over the posted speed limit, a fine will be issued to the
vehicle’s registered owner. The posted speed is 55 mph in this area.
MDOT SHA reports that speeding violations have decreased by more than 90 percent in areas where the SafeZones program is deployed. Nationally, four out of five people injured in a work zone crash are passengers or drivers, not workers.ASE is currently deployed in eight other work zones in Maryland. For more information about the SafeZones program, visit www.safezones.maryland.gov.
Maryland’s Move Over Law requires motorists to make a lane change or slow down when approaching any stopped, standing or parked vehicle displaying hazard warning lights, road flares or other caution signals. The expanded law is in place to protect emergency responders and motorists who encounter a roadside emergency. CEG

road and highway expansion projects.
He said if President Joe Biden doesn’t rescind the “fix-itfirst” policy he will work to overturn the FHWA rule.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia also prom ised to introduce a formal challenge to the rule.
The memo’s advice to transportation leaders to “maxi mize the existing right-of-way for accommodation of nonmotorized modes and transit options that increase safety, accessibility and/or connectivity” has made it controversial.
At the end of the day, FHWA can’t actually stop states from using the $110 billion in unrestricted IIJA funds to build as many lanes as they like, said Benito Perex of Transportation for America.
Graves claimed the memo “goes far beyond mere ‘guid ance’from the administration.”
“Since IIJA was signed into law, the administration has repeatedly doubled down on discouraging states from expanding or building new roads they may need, despite this policy being in direct conflict with what Congress intended.”
Graves added, “While I hope the administration will rescind the flawed approach, I am prepared to work with my senate colleagues to utilize the Congressional Review Act [CRA] if necessary to overturn this rule.”
With Capito, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Ky. weighed in on the controversy, saying “the FHWA memorandum is an internal document [and] has no effect of law.”
The law “addresses infrastructure issues in a manner that reflects bipartisan input and consensus and avoids burdensome, prescriptive requirements,” they wrote. “Nothing in the [law] provides FHWA with the authority to dictate how states should use their federal formula funding, nor prioritizes public transit or bike paths over new roads and bridges.”
Ed Mortimer, vice president of transportation and infrastructure of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, also downplayed the memo’s authority.
“It is not law,” he said. “It is not a requirement for states to follow.At the end of the day, the law is very clear that the states have wide latitude and local governments have wide latitude on how they use the funds.”
Mortimer added that there is no restriction to stop a state, if they so choose, to expand their highway system.
The McConnell-Capito letter comes a little more than a week after Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah and Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina brought up the issue.
The memo “flies in the face of our intent and our needs,” said Romney, while Graham said the memo “runs counter to congressional intent by discouraging the use of federal dollars by the states for new highway capacity projects.”
Separately, a Jan. 19 letter to Biden from 16 Republican governors urged Biden to allow states maximum flexibility in implementing the law.
“Attempts to disallow the use of funding for general purpose widening projects would be biased against rural states and states with growing populations,” the governors wrote.
“Excessive consideration of equity, union memberships, or climate as lenses to view suitable projects would be coun-
terproductive,” they added. “Your administration should not attempt to push a social agenda through hard infrastructure investments and instead should consider economically sound principles that align with state priorities.”
McConnell then wrote Pete Buttigieg, secretary of transportation, asking that the memo be rescinded or revised.
As it stands, DOT has not budged on the memo, which says FHWAwill work with states to encourage and prioritize maintenance of existing transportation infrastructure.
It also includes wording encouraging IIJA funds be used to repair and maintain existing infrastructure “before making new investments in highway expansions for additional
capacity.”
Authored by FHWA Deputy Administrator Stephanie Pollack, the memo concluded that “working together, we can make investments and deliver projects that upgrade the condition of streets, highways and bridges and make them safe for all users”
This, she said, can happen as they are being modernized, “so that the transportation network is accessible for all users, provides people with better choices across all modes, is more sustainable and resilient to a changing climate and is more equitable.”
However, the federal General Accounting Office (GAO) hinted that this memo did not travel proper channels.
The agency claims Fix-it First had “substantial” impact on the rights of non-agency parties and should have been submitted to Congress first.
Joining the fight are several transportation construction industry organizations who also have asked FHWAto cancel the guidance.They stand on the side of projects to add transportation capacity through new road and bridge construction.
If the guidance is implemented by states, the industry would see the volume and pace of construction work take a hit.
Sen. Capito maintains the guidance imposes a one-sizefits-all approach.
In a letter issued a year ago, industry groups said the document created confusion within the transportation community. They also claim the guidance, in prioritizing IIJA resources, is inconsistent with the bipartisan act itself.

regulatory status, industry believes state and local transportation agencies are obligated to follow it.
In January, industry called for FHWA to withdraw the memo. “As transportation stakeholders, we are concernedabouttheprecedentthispolicy memo sets,” they said. “We fear the potential policies that future administrations could prioritize without undertaking a formal notice and comment rulemaking.”
The American Trucking Association,American Highway Users Alliance, American Road and Transportation Builders Association, The Associated General Contractors and the National Asphalt Pavement Association were among those who wrote to Shailen Bhatt, FHWA administrator.
“The IIJA includes robust funding levels that will help stabilize and enhance every state’s long-term transportation improvement efforts,” they said. “Furthermore, this multiyear plan will facilitate private-sector investments in equipment and personnel.”
Industry believes that to ensure implementation undertakes transparent and lawful processes to engage stakeholders is critical to the law’s success.
AGC addressed the memo with members a year ago, saying that at first the approach outlined in the memo “sounds like common sense.”
However, AGC wrote, FHWA and some stakeholders are simply trying to limit a state’s ability to add new highway capacity.
“In analyzing FHWA’s own data, AGC has found that we are already ‘fixing it first.’”
Infact,80percentofthefundingthat states receive already goes toward maintaining and reconstructing existing infrastructure, according to the organization.
“Our interstates were built and designedover50yearsago,soitmakes sense that states are now largely focused on maintaining and modernizing them,” said AGC. “But it is also critical that states have the flexibility to add new capacity to meet the needs of a growing population.”
The memo’s wording produced
comment fromARTBAto its members as well.
In detailing Sen. Capito’s push to overturn the memo, the association wrote that it “sought to influence state formula funding project selection.”
This by imposing policy prescriptions not included in IIJA that could make it more difficult to expand roadway capacity.
“The GAO’s classification of the memo as a rule means it must be formally submitted to Congress before it can take effect under the CRA.”
The CRAenables congress to disapprove a final rule issued by a federal agency. The FHWA memo was never submitted to congress, according to ARTBA.
“The GAO confirmed what we have been pointing out for the past year: In its December 2021 memo, FHWA went beyond simply restating existing legal requirements for states — it expressed a policy preference and took steps to implement that preference,” Capito said.
ARTBA wrote that it supports Sen. Capito’s and Rep. Graves’ efforts and “will work with them and FHWA to clarify state autonomy in project selection decisions.”
The calls to rescind or revise the Biden administration’s “fix-it-first” policy has its future in jeopardy.
A successful challenge of the policy bymembersofcongresswillsetoffthe CRA resolution of disapproval, fasttracking a debate over its future. As Environment and Public Works
Committee chair Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware said, he will stand by the memo’s role. “Congress should not be in the business of disapproving internal policydocumentsfromanyadministration through the use of the CRA,” he said. “I will oppose any efforts to do so in this case as it would interfere with ourabilitytorebuildournation’sroads, highways and bridges.”
Nonprofit Streetsblog reported that pro-highway congressmen and women may leave the bill on Biden’s desk where he could issue a veto.
Biden’s veto would force congress to override it by two-thirds majority in both chambers.
“If the president doesn’t take that unprecedented stand, the path to enacting a similar rule in the future won’t be easy,” said Streetsblog.
“Enactment of a CRA resolution doesn’t just overturn the rulemaking; it sows the earth with salt,” wrote Jeff Davis of Eno Transportation. “The CRAsaysthatifaruleisoverturnedvia CRA resolution, then not only is that rule dead, but the agency is forever barred from issuing any rule in ‘substantially the same form’ as the overturned rule, unless specifically authorized in a new law enacted by congress.”
Time will tell if Biden is willing to take such a bold stand, wrote Streetsblog.
An FHWA spokesperson said that the agency is reviewing the letter and will respond directly to the group.

The Underground Construction Technology International Conference & Exhibition is the meeting place for industry professionals involved in maintaining underground utility pipe infrastructure.
