2 OMCA CORPORATE MEMBER BUILDS BRIDGE IN PANAMA By Melisa Aebi Corporate Administrator Manhattan Road & Bridge Company

Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) provides isolated communities all over the world with access to essential health care, education and economic opportunities by teaching communities to build footbridges over impassable rivers in partnership with organizations and professionals. Their principle strategies are, Build to: innovate, Build to: educate, Build to: inspire.

In May of 2016, Manhattan Construction Group joined with B2P to construct a pedestrian bridge in a small agricultural province of Dos Aguas. For two weeks, a joint team of Manhattan Road & Bridge, Manhattan Construction Company, and Rooney Holdings members traveled to the remote jungle area of Panama to construct the bridge. The volunteers were a diverse group who work in project management, safety, human resources, administration, and equipment. In addition, an employee with Ingenieria RM in Panama City and a Peace Corps volunteer stationed in Panama served as key members to the project.

Continued on page 4 3 Continued from page 3 While being less than 100 miles from the heart of Panama City by direct line, the trip to the site took approximately five hours due to the lack of infrastructure. One of the community members was kind enough to accommodate the project team with a campsite on his property and the team was blessed to have a small concrete pad with shelter and a spring fed shower. Setting up camp in the sweltering 100 degree plus heat index was strong indication of the challenges that lay ahead in the days to come. Quickly learning to adjust to life without simple luxuries such as bathroom facilities, electricity, and phone service was a challenge in its own.

The project included a relatively simple design created to accommodate a lack of availability of a wide range of materials, tools, and heavy equipment. Two 4.5m steel towers are supported by concrete and block wall pedestals on each side of the 37.3m span of the river. Behind each tower is a large concrete anchor that connects to the main cable to carry the full load of the bridge.

The first step is to assemble and lift the towers into place. After erecting and securing the scaffolding on each side of the bridge, the tower is staged into place. A pulley system is connected to the scaffolding and the towers are lifted into place with a hand-operated winch from the opposite side of the bridge. Once the towers are at the correct angle to accommodate the future loading of the bridge, they are temporarily secured in place to the scaffolding.

The next step is to secure the main cable to anchor blocks on one side Continued on page 7 4 Let Us Partner With You On Your Next Project

This was the first major reminder that there was no heavy equipment available and a strong showing of volunteers from the community is required to have the manpower to move the cable into place. Once the cable is in place on both sides, the sag is slowly taken out until the bottom of the cable rests in the exact height on each side using various means and keen eye for surveying and then permanently anchored.

After the main cables are set, the bridge begins to take shape. Steel crossbeams are attached to 1m boards then hung from the main cable at a very precise spacing using rebar bent into hooks. Decking boards are placed from crossbeam to crossbeam starting at both ends to meet in the middle. Once the decking is complete, the handrail cable is connected to each side and fencing is rolled out along each side of the bridge and attached to the decking and suspenders to provide fall protection.

Like any project here or abroad, best laid plans never account for every obstacle. In the Panamanian jungle, the wrong size bolts or cable clamps can take a full day to replace. A small design oversight can cause an ripple effect in the whole camber of the bridge and what would be a simple fix in the U.S. can take a whole day of breaking of concrete by hand to remedy. At the end of the day, it is very similar to successful project delivery at home. Being flexible and overcoming problems is critical. The Manhattan team did a tremendous job of working diligently, incorporating the local community, and overcoming obstacles as they arose.

She was appointed to office by Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin on November 20th, 2015

Houston is an experienced administrator in state government and has considerable experience in state agency operational management, legislative process, and budgeting. Houston also has an in-depth background in public policy and played a key role in criminal justice reform efforts and federal anti-terrorism legislation. As a survivor of the Oklahoma City Murrah bombing, she is a frequent speaker on the impact of terrorism.

Continued on page 14 13 Continued from page 13 Previously, she served as Chief of Staff for the Oklahoma Attorney General and for the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security.

Houston attended the University of Oklahoma where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Letters and a Juris Doctor. She is active in the community serving on several boards including the Oklahoma City National Memorial and is a graduate of Leadership Oklahoma and Leadership Norman.

She and her husband, Ben Houston, who also is an attorney, live in Norman with their two young sons.

Here is part of that interview:

My background really helped shape my philosophy, my approach to the Department of Labor, and why I’m even here to begin with. My very first job was with a criminal justice sentencing think tank, and I was hired on Jan. 19, 1995. We were housed in the Journal Record Building in downtown Oklahoma City, and three months to the day of the beginning of my career, I survived the Murrah bombing, certainly a life-changing event – in fact, on the six-month anniversary of the Murrah Bombing was the first time I had been back down there, and I was walking around by the survivor tree and in front of the wall from the Journal-Record Building where the writing on the wall was made by one of the FEMA teams working on the site after the bombing. Unbeknownst to me, there was an AP reporter who snapped a picture of me walking by there, and it ran across the country and a friend of mine got a copy of it and had it signed by the rescue team that wrote that on the wall and made it a gift to me, and I am very proud of that.

The other gift was from Homeland Security, a picture of the Survivor Tree, also a treasured possession of mine. So three months to the day after starting a new job, to have that kind of experience at such a young 14 age, at the beginning of my career really reinforced my desire to be of service.

I speak a lot at the Bombing Memorial, I talk about the lessons I have learned such as the importance of being of service, that life is really short and so you have to put a purpose into your days. So when the Governor called and told me of the horrible situation that had occurred, even though it was a huge pay cut and not the most appealing of circumstances to walk into, because of my belief in public service, it was hard to turn that down. So that was a foundational time in my life.

The next stage of my career was when I went to work for the Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association, and represented the 77 Oklahoma County Sheriffs and got to travel the State of Oklahoma, which was wonderful. So in my late twenties, I got to go to every county in the State of Oklahoma and learn about Oklahoma and how people think differently in different parts of the state. I mean, we are all Oklahomans, but we have different tastes in food, and different philosophies and approaches to life and the role of government in our lives. So the knowledge of that diversity has really helped me in this position, to understand it’s not just about Oklahoma City and Tulsa, but you’ve got to think through all the different parts of the state.

After that, I did some political work, but the next kind of major focus was after 9/11. I had been doing some work on a personal level in anti- terrorism, I had worked with a group of family members and survivors on the first federal anti-terrorism legislation, so when 9/11 happened, Bob Ricks who at the time worked for Gov. Frank Keating as his Commissioner, called and said we are going to have to set up some sort of office to address these kind of terrorism issues, and I would love for you to come and help. I really didn’t want to go to work for the State because I wanted to go make some money, but again – I believe in service, and when I was asked to be of service to the State of Oklahoma on something I was so passionate about, I said I would be happy to. So I went in and helped establish the Office of Homeland Security, I was the Chief of Staff and stayed there about 8 ½ years. This was even before the federal Department of Homeland Security existed, so we were really on the ground floor, taking the lessons that we had learned from the Murrah Bombing, a lot of our responders, law enforcement, fire and EMT. We had a philosophy that we didn’t just want to take federal money and kind of just snow on everyone’s lawn, but that we really wanted to make an impact. So we did so many different projects that to this day, continue to have an impact on the State of Oklahoma. I’m very proud of the work we did. We designed a regional response system-those big trailers that are

16 Continued from page 15 capable of responding to a tornado, to a hazmat spill, all the way up to a weapon of mass destruction. I mean a lot of that was from a lesson we learned from the Murrah Bombing. One of the things that I found during all of this, that I have brought with me to the Commissioner’s office, is that I found out that I don’t have to be an expert in every single area – I mean I’m not a fire fighter, I’m not a cop, I’m not an emt - but I could listen to the people who were experts and to help them to do their job better, to listen to what their needs were, design that system and help draft legislation and help implement it. So that is something that has helped me here.

After that, I went to work for the Attorney General. That was a great experience and I got to be a lawyer again, which is good since I spent a lot of money on that degree. But I also learned a lot about regulation. That was really the first time in my life that I had dealt with regulation and an understanding of your regulators in Washington, DC implementing regulations that can have devastating impacts on the State of Oklahoma and on its small businesses, without any regard to that impact. Now that I am a regulator, I am very sensitive to and have tried to be mindful of that and make sure that I have a lot of communication with the stakeholders and the people that are engaged in our rule-making process.

I was officially appointed Commissioner of Labor on November 20th, which would have been my Grandfather’s birthday. He was a big inspiration to me, and to my family. We went into legislative session

Continued on page 18 17 Continued from page 17 almost immediately, so I had to figure out pretty quickly what the legislative agenda was, obviously we had a significant budget hole, so I kind of developed a 30/60/90 day plan for just kind of getting my feet underneath me and figuring out where we were with personnel and resources, and where we needed to be going. So it has been quick, a lot to learn and of course, being an attorney, I started in the statutes and then went from there and started visiting with people.

Interestingly enough, the statutes haven’t necessarily kept up with the times. One of the first industries that I reached out to was the amusement ride industry. And I guess it’s because I have two sons that are 10 and 11, made me want to learn about those areas that we regulate. Going out with our inspectors was one of the first things I did, on my first week on the job. I started calling up the inspectors and asking them what it is we regulate, and can I come along on an inspection with you? So I think that might have freaked them out a little bit to have the Commissioner tagging along, I’m not sure if other Commissioners had done this or not, but my first inspection was of an elevator. Then I went on a boiler inspection, went out to a CNG pump inspection, which we also do, and then amusement rides. We did an inspection at a go-car track and learned a lot about the areas that we regulate and what we do and what we need to be doing different.

The amusement ride people we were regulating had some frustration with how things were being implemented. They liked the DOL people, but the entire regulatory scheme is based on traveling out-of-state carnivals. Places like Frontier City and Andy Alligator are different than an out of state contractor coming in from Arkansas and is here for 48 hours and is then leaving. Rental companies for inflatables may have 24 hour notice before the inflatable is in service and they just don’t really fit in the same model as Frontier City and Andy Alligator, and yet they are all under the same rules and inspection schedules. So I have opened up the administrative rule-making process and I am trying to replicate this across our program s so the first step is kind of meeting with the stakeholders understanding what the issues are, letting them know that we are going to open up the rule-making process. We’ve been doing kind of town hall type meetings just kind of gathering feedback from them on what are the areas that we need to be looking into and trying to put together committees of stakeholders and have them involved in that rule-making process, and this is different than you have 30 days to provide written comment, I mean we will still go through with the formal process, but this is before that, let’s have a dialogue and let’s communicate and find out what’s working and what isn’t. So that’s been positive, so hopefully we will end up with more of a tiered system that’s

18 more responsive to the industry, that is more reflective of their business model, so we are trying to work through that.

Elevators was another area where I learned that we had a mandatory fee that is in statute, and so we inspect elevators but we are not allowed to charge more than $100 for that elevator inspection, which is something that was put in place at least 20 years ago, and hasn’t been raised or reviewed. So in the large cities, like Tulsa and Oklahoma City, they can opt out. So if you hire a private inspector in Oklahoma City, for example, it could be as high as $350, so you have government undercutting the private market constantly, and the $100 we charge doesn’t cover our costs. We’re losing money every single year, now I don’t need to charge $350 because I don’t need to make a profit, but I have got to figure out a way that we are not undercutting the market and that we’re also not losing money. I think that at some point, there is a sweet spot where the market will balance back out, and so maybe then the Dept. of Labor ends up doing public buildings and that private industry inspectors build up and they can do private buildings, or to honest, I don’t know what that really ends up looking like, but I know that what we are doing right now isn’t working. So we are again, opening up the process, trying to have dialogue and involve people in the process.

I think one thing that surprised me a little is the diversity of what we do here, and the magnitude of what we do here. Like many state agencies, we don’t have enough staff, the staff we have is not paid what I would like to see them paid, so they continue to get poached by the private sector, so we are losing our expertise and that’s frustrating. But we are addressing it the best we can, and trying to identify efficiencies.

Probably the hardest thing that I have done is really in the area of workplace safety. I mean that’s been a whole area that again, I just wasn’t familiar with, so I’ve learned a lot. We have incredible personnel at the Department of Labor that are really experts in this area, and an incredible resource to the private sector.

We had Workers’ Memorial Day, and in April we partnered with the Safety Council and some other groups like the AFL-CIO, and I was not Continued on page 20 19 Continued from page 19 aware that we had 38 fatalities last year in the State of Oklahoma. You know, people who just went to work to earn a paycheck to support their family, and didn’t come home that night. So to go to that memorial service and to hear from the families was really tough. I was seated behind a widow with her two small children who had shirts on that said, “My daddy was so wonderful that God made him an angel”, and I mean that just was really impactful to me. It was good for me to understand that what it is we do here is very important, and making sure that people understand the resources that are available and the commitment of the staff, that we are here to help.

The alliances, such as the one that OMCA has with The Dept. of Labor and OSHA, are wonderful. You know, most businesses want to do the right thing, I mean it is not profitable to have an unsafe workplace. They care about their employees, and so helping to bring attention and awareness and training and forming coalitions like yours to make sure that we are working together and sharing resources and sharing that commitment, that’s what it is really all about.

One of my goals for the remainder of my term is in the regulatory environment. I don’t believe in “gotcha” regulations, I just don’t believe in it. As I said, most businesses want to do the right thing, and are trying to follow the rules, but they need to know what those rules are, which is part of the problem at the federal level. So we are engaging them in the rule-making process and we are redrafting those rules to make sure they are updated and reflect our current environment.

Another goal is we are creating some new penalties, because we don’t have consequences for some of the violations of our regulations. We do, but it’s more like giving them an injunction and shutting down and entire site, whereas we could maybe impose a small fine because after all, the goal is compliance. But one of the things I did was I made sure that the money does not go to the agency. The goal of regulation should be to try and gain compliance, not make a profit. And it is too tempting for me during this budget crunch time to say go find 20 elevators to shut down and bring in some fines because we need the revenue. So I don’t want the agency to have that temptation, I want the businesses to know that our inspectors are out there and they are trying to get compliance. Continued on page 22 20

21 Continued from page 20 The rules are there for a reason and we’re trying to get compliance with the rules, but we are not trying to profit from it. So any fines that the agency collects will go into the general fund. Now we will still charge fees, which are appropriate because it is a fee for a service, and that’s how we pay for the people who are partnering with the businesses on these regulations. And that helps, too, because I mean there are bad actors that are out there. But if you have a business, for example in asbestos, you have a business that is following all the rules and doing everything right, protecting their employees, and you have a business next door that is not following any of the rules, it’s usually the business that’s following the rules who lets us know who that bad actor is. And we will take that opportunity to educate them about the rules, but if they’re able to get the job because they are underbidding because they are skirting the rules, so it’s really a win-win situation. But it’s not if I am just out there doing it for profit.

Another big area I want to tackle is the licensing piece. I am just now kind of getting into this, but just taking a look at our processes – are they efficient enough, are they quick enough? What are things we can be doing better? A lot of that is going to be based on technology, so we are trying to address that area as well to make sure it is as seamless and easy as possible for people to be licensed as quickly as possible, once they have met the criteria. That’s a big area for us.

Another area I would like to emphasize and really just draw attention to is: one of the challenges I learned pretty quickly was that we have amazing resources here but people are unaware of them. So I have been focused a lot on the outreach efforts, specifically on our OSHA Consultation Program. It’s a great program and it is very timely right now. As most people are aware by now, OSHA has announced that they are going to increase their penalties almost 80%, very significant number. Last year, our OSHA Consultation Program saved businesses in Oklahoma over $7.5 million, so an 80% increase is a significant amount of money. We have an OSHA Consultation Program where businesses can contact us, it is confidential, and it is free of charge. And they can tap into our network of expertise, whether that’s in the health area, the safety area, we have industrial hygienists, we have a number of resources that we can walk alongside a business and help them identify what OSHA might find, and how to correct it. And if they make the changes and have a great safety record, and meet certain criteria, they can even get a sharp designation which gives them a waiver from OSHA inspection for a length of time, so it’s an incredible opportunity that people are just not aware of, so we are really encouraging businesses to contact our agency.

The final are we have been trying to bring attention to is an award. You know, Commissioner Costello was himself an entrepreneur, and he 22 understood as an entrepreneur that those businesses that can really be the engine of the economy. So one of the first things I did was to ask permission from Mrs. Costello, to rename the award in his honor, so we now have the Mark Costello Entrepreneur Award which is a way for us to recognize those businesses that are Oklahoma-based and started in Oklahoma that are doing well, that are giving back to their community, that are hiring people, and especially during these tough economic times with so much negativity out there, to really recognize and bring attention to people who are doing some great things in this state. It has just been a real honor and a great way to recognize Commissioner Costello and carry on his legacy and a great way to bring a little positivity to this tough financial time in Oklahoma. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, we were in Lawton where a 100 year-old, three generation family company was recognized, and they are still growing.

When I was offered the position of Commissioner of labor, I made the decision then, and announced as part of the press release, that I would not be seeking the office when the term is over. For me, it is a matter of timing, our sons are 10 and 11, and it will be a critical time in their lives and in their development, when that election would be held, and my first priority is always going to be to my family. I have a wonderful husband, and for us that is our focus, so the next few years are really critical. Our oldest is starting 6th grade, and I am completely not ready to have a middle schooler, so it is just not the right time to be running for office, it’s too important for us to focus on the kids right now.

It has been a real honor and a privilege to have this opportunity, and I think that I have a unique background and a unique skillset at a unique time to be able to come in and use those skills to evaluate the agency and make changes within a short period of time, and really address our core mission in a way that hopefully the agency will be in even better shape for the next Commissioner, whomever that may be. So it has been a wonderful opportunity.

34 35 CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYMENT INCREASES IN THREE-FIFTHS OF NATION’S METRO AREAS BETWEEN AUGUST 2015 & 2016 INDUSTRY JOB OPENINGS HIT 10-YEAR HIGH Denver–Aurora–Lakewood, Colo. and Boise, Idaho Top Growth List while Bloomington, Ill. and Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land, Texas have Largest Declines amid Construction Labor Shortages Construction employment increased in three-fifths of metro areas between August 2015 and August 2016—the smallest share in nearly three and a half years—as contractors in many areas report difficulty in finding qualified workers, according to a new analysis of federal employment data released today by the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials said the new data underscores the need to make it easier for school officials to set up programs that teach skills like construction.

36 CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYMENT INCREASES IN THREE-FIFTHS OF NATION’S METRO AREAS BETWEEN AUGUST 2015 & 2016 INDUSTRY JOB OPENINGS HIT 10-YEAR HIGH “While the number of metro areas with employment increases has been slipping, the number with decreases—76 in August—has held roughly steady,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Meanwhile, job openings have been at a 10-year high but hiring has stalled in many parts of the country. Together, these facts make it clear that the slowdown in hiring has more to do with workforce shortages than shortages of work.”

Construction employment increased in 220, or 61 percent, of 358 metro areas in the past year, held steady in 62 areas, and declined in 76 areas. The number of areas with gains was the smallest since April Continued on page 38 37 Continued from page 37 2013, the economist noted. Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, Colo. added the most construction jobs during the past year (11,400 jobs, 12 percent), followed by Anaheim-Santa Ana-Irvine, Calif. (10,200 jobs, 11 percent); Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Fla. (10,200 jobs, 17 percent); Atlanta- Sandy Springs-Roswell, Ga. (7,700 jobs, 7 percent) and Sacramento- Roseville-Arden-Arcade, Calif. (7,400 jobs, 14 percent). The largest percentage gains occurred in Boise City, Idaho (24 percent, 4,500 jobs) and Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford.

The largest job losses from August 2015 to August 2016 were in Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, Texas (-3,700 jobs, -2 percent), followed by Birmingham-Hoover, Ala. (-1,500 jobs, -6 percent) and Louisville-Jefferson County, Ky. (-1,400 jobs, -5 percent). The largest percentage declines for the past year were in Bloomington, Ill. (-16 percent, -500 jobs); Anniston-Oxford-Jacksonville, Ala. (-11 percent, -100 jobs); Dothan, Ala. (-11 percent, -300 jobs); and Lawton, Okla. (-11 percent, -200 jobs).

Association officials said the new construction employment figures, combined with recent data on job openings in the sector, make it clear that firms in many parts of the country are having a hard time finding enough workers to hire. They added that the data is consistent with survey results the association released last month showing two-thirds of construction firms are having a hard time finding qualified craft workers to hire.

“Many firms would be hiring more people if only they could find qualified applicants to bring onboard,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer, who urged the Senate to act quickly on a House-passed measure to reform and boost funding for career and technical education programs. “Making it easier for school officials to offer programs that prepare students for high-paying careers in construction will certainly help overcome chronic workforce shortages in the industry.”

38 CONSTRUCTION SPENDING HOLDS STEADY IN AUGUST AND IS UP BY NEARLY 5 PERCENT FOR THE FIRST EIGHT MONTHS OF THE YEAR AS DEMAND REMAINS “ROBUST” Construction Officials Urge Congress to Pass Water Infrastructure Measure, Explore Other Options to Boost Public-Sector Construction Investments to Help Offset Declining Private Sector Demand for Certain Types of Construction Construction spending held steady in August compared to July but is up nearly five percent for the first eight months of the year compared to Continued on page 40 39 Continued from page 39 same period in 2015, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials said the new spending figures indicates that the industry’s recovery may be at risk and said new investments in the nation’s aging water systems and other infrastructure could help offset declining spending in certain types of private construction.

“While demand for construction remains robust, it is no longer growing like it was earlier this year,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “There is little doubt that new public-sector investments in our aging infrastructure could help reinvigorate demand for construction.”

Construction spending in August totaled $1.142 billion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, essentially unchanged from the month before, Simonson said. He added that the year-to-date increase of 4.9 percent for January through August 2016, compared with the same months of 2015, shows that demand for construction projects remains relatively robust despite some recent monthly declines. But he cautioned that the month- to-month figures indicate that demand for construction is no longer growing like it was earlier this year.

Private nonresidential construction spending decreased 0.4 percent for the month but is up 4.2 percent year-to-date. The largest private nonresidential segment in August was power construction (including oil and gas pipelines), which declined 1.5 percent for the month but up 2.9

40 percent year-to-date. The next-largest segment, manufacturing, dropped by 1.4 percent for the month and is down 7.4 percent year-to-date. Commercial (retail, warehouse and farm) construction decreased by 2 percent in August and climbed 6.9 percent year-to-date. Private office construction climbed 2.3 percent for the month and 28 percent year-to- date.

Private residential construction spending dropped by 0.3 percent between July and August 2016, but is up 1.4 percent year-to-date. Spending on multifamily residential construction increased by 2.4 percent for the month and remains up 13.9 percent year-to-date, while single-family spending fell 0.9 percent from July to August and is down 1.5 percent year-to-date.

Public construction spending declined 2 percent from a month before and dropped by 8.8 percent year-to-date. The biggest public segment— highway and street construction—decreased by 2.9 percent for the month and is down 8.3 percent year-to-date. The other major public category— educational construction—fell by 0.4 percent in August and dropped 0.8 percent year-to-date.

Association officials said that the new construction spending figures underscore the need for Congress to pass legislation like the Water Resources Development Act to finance repairs to aging water systems. The said that measure, combined with other needed investments in public infrastructure could help offset declining private sector demand and reinvigorate the construction sector’s recovery.

“The construction industry’s recovery appears to have hit a plateau,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “The sector is at the point where new public-sector investments could really help take up the slack being left by declines in some types of private- sector construction activity.” OMCA WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS Associates RAM Tool & Construction Supply Asphalt Express Enterprises 4265 Royal Ave. 1405 4th Avenue NW, #348 Okla.
