Centennial Donates Bicycles to Children from the Boys & Girls Club Eighteen boys and girls experienced the thrill of receiving their first bikes last week, thanks to a donation from WBC member Centennial Contractors Enterprises. | April 2010 Industry Report Centennial employees with some proud new bicycle owners. The donation was part of a team building activity during the contractor’s annual Leadership Conference, which was held in Warrenton, VA this year. David Sturdevant, director of training at Centennial, organized the activity by partnering with Repario which facilitates experiential learning seminars. The activity was tied to the Conference’s theme: “What Matters Most.” Ninety of Centennial’s managers and directors split into 18 teams and were then given 25 minutes to assemble a bicycle. Unsure if this was a competition for speed, accuracy or problem solving, the teams quickly got down to the business of building the bicycles. Minutes into the work, facilitators informed the teams that the bicycles were a donation to the local Warrenton Boys & Girls Club and read letters from a few of the children on what a bike would mean to them. Most of these children had never owned their own bicycle. With this knowledge, the teams quickly switched their mindsets, slowing their pace and checking for accuracy. After completely building the bicycles, the teams were hit with another surprise; the boys and girls receiving the bikes were actually in the building, ready to receive their new bikes. The kids streamed into the room abuzz with excitement. The kids examined their new bikes and talked with their Centennial teams. Centennial managers were hit with the moment, shedding a few tears of joy and beaming with excitement for providing such a memorable moment. On the move… Effective April 1, 2010, E.C.

The Washington Building Congress | www.wbcnet.org Thank you for supporting the 2010 WBC Rebuilding Together project on April 24. 3 2010 Craftsmanship Awards 2010 Annual WBC Craftsmanship Awards Local Building Industry Gathers to Recognize the Area’s Top Craftsmen M ore than 1,200 individuals from the DC area’s building industry gathered to honor the area’s most talented craftsmen and women at the Washington Building Congress’ Annual Craftsmanship Awards Banquet at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel on March 26, 2010. “The first WBC Craftsmanship Awards Committee organized the inaugural awards program in the 1950’s. Seven craftsmen were awarded certificates for their work on the 10-story Editors Building on H Street, NW,” said Jonathan Kurtis, WBC’s Chairman of the Board, giving the crowd some historical perspective to the evening’s events. “The Craftsmanship Awards has grown to be one of the most prestigious events in our industry. As the awards program has elevated in prestige, the recognition of quality craftsmanship has continued to elevate in importance.” Each year up to five deserving craftsmen may be nominated by the WBC Craftsmanship Awards Committee and approved by the WBC Board of Directors to be inducted in the Craftsmen Hall of Fame. Selection of inductees is based on the number of awards an individual has received, the individual’s time in industry, and other special factors that may be relevant. The night’s 2010 Hall of Fame inductees were: • Robert B. Bodmer • Albert “Buddy” McDowell, Jr. • Ralph Eugene Pearson • Kenneth Spohn • Bill Suhrhoff “These individuals have proven over the course of their careers to be shining examples of what it takes to succeed in our industry,” said Craftsmanship Awards Chairman Mike Shoemaker. The Craftsmanship Awards Call for Entries went out to the entire membership and other related industry groups last September. WBC received a record 314 nominations in 10 trade 4 categories from sitework to finishes. With the participation and support of 178 judges, teams of evaluators went out in early January to evaluate all of the nominated projects. The evaluations were compiled, results tallied, and 78 winning entries were identified based upon the judges scoring. (A complete listing of the winning projects follows, and a complete list with project descriptions is available online at www.wbcnet.org.) Very few companies had winning craftsmen on more than one or two projects, however craftsmen from J.E. Richards, Inc. were awarded for four projects; and those from Pierce Associates, Inc., David Allen Company and Mona Electric Group, Inc. were each awarded for three projects. Clark Construction Group, LLC was general contractor on 19 projects (including four as a Joint Venture partner with Balfour Beatty Construction); The WhitingTurner Contracting Company was general contractor on nine projects; Balfour Beatty Company was general contractor on nine projects (including four as a Joint Venture partner with The Clark Construction Group, Inc.); and James G. Davis Construction Corporation was general contractor on eight projects. Following selection of the Craftsmanship Award winners, a separate panel of Star Award judges representing different perspectives and disciplines within our industry was selected to independently evaluate the Star Award nominees. Eight outstanding entries were also recommended for Star Awards this year. From these, the Star Award winners for Visual Excellence, Technical Excellence and Excellence in the Face of Adversity were selected. This year, the Star Award for Visual Excellence was awarded to the team of Tony Barbery, Joel Cabanban, Wayne Libby, Roger Parker, Mike Pullen, and Wade Sampsell with Gaithersburg Cabinetry and Millwork for their outstanding Architectural Millwork at The Jefferson Hotel Renovation & Revitalization project. Joe Dugan, Joseph Lajoie, Eric Neville, Nick Noonan, and Russel Way, with Freestate Electrical Construction Company were honored with the Excellence in the Face of Adversity Star Award for their Power Generation, Distribution and Switchgear work at the National Institutes of Health: CIT Building No. 12 Infrastructure Upgrade–Phase 1. Finally, the Star Award for Technical Excellence was presented to John Butler, Doug DeGraw, and Ric Roberts, with Icon EBS, and Dean Beane, Nathan Bergen and Michael Marshall with Structurecraft Builders for their Curtain Walls work at the Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater. | April 2010 2010 Craftsmanship Awards Following are the names of all the Craftsmanship Award winners along with the projects on which they worked, their employers, and where applicable, the general contractors and other key project team members.

One block north of National Cathedral, corner of Wisconisin Ave. and Macomb St. WBC Craftsmanship Award Judging Experiences My experience being a first time as craftsmanship award judge far exceeded my expectations. As a project manager working in the commercial switchgear department, my contribution to a project is only a small piece of the completed puzzle. I see the concept of the equipment mapped out riser diagrams and flip through factory drawings as I submit the equipment for approval. As a judge I had the opportunity to see this equipment in its intended installed working state. More importantly, I was able to actually appreciate the elaborate technical installation that these Electrical Craftsmen were able to accomplish. An additional benefit of the day was the opportunity to cruise around town with a group of really well-respected and experienced electrical tradesmen. My group consisted of Larry Clark, Freestate Electric, Fred Marl, Dynalectric, and Jim Polk, Singleton Electric. We visited seven different jobsites and our judging categories ranged from Power Generation, Distribution, and Switchgear to Lighting Systems. As we toured the different electrical rooms my colleagues, who have lived the experience and participated in the coordination and installation on similar projects throughout their careers, mentored me through each site. Explaining the meticulous pipe and wire schematics, installation intricacies and challenges one would face; down to measuring pipe and arranging the couplings just right so that they would all align perfectly, as would every screw. I was able to bounce questions and ideas off these gentlemen, which ultimately enabled me to leave the experience truly respecting and appreciating the passion of those tradesmen who accept nothing less than exceptional quality. —Sarah Slaughter Capital Lighting & Supply In my second year participating in judging for the WBC Craftsmanship Awards, it was just as much of a learning experience as the previous year, if not more. My team and I ventured to DC to judge the craftsmanship of seven different projects’ doors and windows. We examined the quality and complexity of everything from whole building curtain walls to small-scale storefronts—all while sharing our knowledge of constructability standards, techniques, and design as well as our own experiences working with craftsman. The industry knowledge one gains during this day is unique; colleagues come together from competing firms to discuss craftsmanship techniques and come away having learned or taught something new. The day is not only filled with learning experiences, but also of camaraderie. Having spent a full day sharing in this unparalleled experience—admiring some of the best craftsmanship in the region before many even know the building exists—provides a lasting experience to share with your teammates for a lifetime. At the end of the day, business cards are exchanged and new industry friends are made. —Michelle Heim AECOM 18 | April 2010 Go GREEN with BOWERS W.E.

Grunley provides a full spectrum of professional construction services. The firm is recognized for outstanding renovations and additions to occupied office buildings. Grunley Construction—Serving Metropolitan Washington for more than 50 years FDA Building One KlingStubbins in association with RTKL Photo by Carl Cox Old Dominion University’s Community Development Corporation (ODU CDC) broke ground in March on Hine/ Turner JV’s housing development that will help revitalize the Lambert’s Point neighborhood adjacent to the ODU campus and at the same time offer affordable housing to young families. The 51-unit townhouse complex, called 43rd Street Norfolk, features owner-occupied units for sale at prices that workforce families—in particular teachers—can afford. The development is intended to appeal primarily to Norfolk Public Schools teachers, so that they can live in an area close to their jobs, and it also is being marketed to other key members of the workforce, such as police officers, medical professionals and ODU employees. Grunley Construction Company, Inc. announced that the U.S. General Services Administration’s (GSA) MidAtlantic Region, headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, awarded the firm a $23.8 million contract to renovate the exterior of the U.S. Custom House. The U.S. Custom House occupies an entire city block in the heart of Philadelphia’s Historic District. Portions of the interior were renovated in the early 1990s. The 17-story facility houses numerous federal agencies, including the U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and U.S. Food & Drug Administration. All work will be performed while the facility remains occupied. Funding for the project was provided through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009.
