Independence Excavating andRockwell Construction Team Up in Toledo, OhioRick DiGeronimo, Chief Estimator

Independence Excavating, Inc. is pleased to again be involved with RockwellConstruction and Home Depot USA, Inc. in constructing another Home DepotWarehouse. When complete, this Toledo,Ohio store will look similar to the manystores that have recently been completed.

Unlike the final façade, the earthworkrequired for this project was not common; in fact it was quite unique. The earthworkpreparations for the building pad were mas-sive! The scope of work included excavating22 feet of wet clay over the entire buildingfootprint and treating with lime. Once thematerial was stabilized it was placed back inthe hole and recompacted. The total amountof material stabilized was 150,000 cubic yards making it one of the largest projects of its type ever completed in the area and the largest lime stabilization project to date forIndependence Excavating.

It should be mentioned that this massive job was successfully completed on time and under budget during a very cold winter. These results have demonstrated that lime stabilization can be a cost effective method for implementing deep foundation construction.

Three Retirees = One Hundred and Four Years!

Rags Stallard, Dick March and Jim Kramer, three more of our dedicated employees retired inJanuary. It is always both a happy and sad time for me when someone retires who has beena major reason for the success of our company. Happy of course, because the person hasfulfilled their ambition and goals and have the opportunity to spend more time with theirfamily, friends and hobbies. Sad for me though, because we go back a long, long way andhave been througha lot of ups anddowns togetherand they will bemissed.

“Rags” wasour number onelow boy driver for forty years!Whenever he leftthe yard you knewhis rig was in perfect, safe andspotless condi-tion. He was agreat ambassadorfor us, as I wouldoften hear someone say they saw our beautiful carryall going down the road. Thanks Rags, for all of your positive advertisement. Also foryour perfect safety record and your “always on time” deliveries.

Dick March worked for thirty-eight years, mainly as anexcavator operator. He was a real ace and could really get the full potential out of any equipment he operated. He was fast, efficient and precise. You could always count on him to get the tough jobs complete.

Jim Kramer was with us for twenty-six years. Previously, a superintendent with GreatLakes Construction, Jim joined our company as an estimator and project manager. He thenbecame our Chief Estimator and was responsible for bringing in many jobs for us. Youcould walk into Jim’s office at any time and find it meticulously neat and organized, the sameway he put his bids together. We spent many late hours together in Columbus years agowhen ODOT bids were turned in there.

I am really proud and appreciative of all three of these men. It is hard to comprehend at a time when they claim the average worker will stay with a company for about seven years,that we have three employees that rack up a total of one hundred and four! WOW, and without saying anymore there in lies the success of our company.

On behalf of myself and all of the DiGeronimo’s, we wish all of you the best of health,peace and happiness in the years ahead.

Arrivederci!

Neil Fox

On February 12, 2001, Independence Excavating received a callfrom Mike Johnson of The Richard E. Jacobs Group, Inc. tellingus we had been selected to perform the asbestos abatement anddemolition of the Highland View Hospital Complex, (projectvalue: $2.5 million). This call marked the end of a two-yearprocess to acquire the work, and the beginning of a new chapterin a long relationship of service to this client. This “win” repre-sents the epitome of the “Team Concept”, because every personinvolved had to work closely with other members of the team toget the necessary information together to deliver the finishedproduct to the client.

Independence Excavating initially responded to a requestfor proposal from Jacobs in the spring of 1999. The responsewas coordinated by Neil Fox, who was ably assisted by MikeOrlando, Tony DiGeronimo and John Savage of PrecisionEnvironmental. Along the way, the team encountered many dif-ficulties, chief among them were re-bidding the job severaltimes to accommodate changes to the scope and alternates.Other delays were caused by the Ohio and Federal HistoricalSocieties when they decided to document these buildings for

their own purposes. Finally, we had to comply with a scheduleimposed by ODOT relating to the opening of the new inter-change at Harvard Road and I-271. Given the complexity of thesite and the difficulties imposed by these other factors we had topatiently keep responding to the changing circumstances. Wewere greatly assisted by Val Cotner, Terry Keenan, Bill Rowe,Mike Johnson, Dominic Salamone, and Butch Burbage from theJacobs Group during this process.

This project is the first major contract in the redevelopmentof this part of The Chagrin Highlands Complex. Since re-estab-lishing our relationship with the Jacobs Group, we have beeninvited to bid three restaurant sites as well as the site packagefor an Extended Stay America Hotel.

Our work began on the abatement of the hospital on March1st and is scheduled to be completed by November 15th. If thesame diligence, tenacity and cooperation are present thatenabled us to secure this contract, the project will be highly successful.

Thanks to all who brought this project to fruition!

Crisis Management: Proactive not Reactive

Chris Sicker, Safety Director

The primary goal of any constructionsafety plan is to prevent accidents andincidents from ever happening; howevereliminating all potential risks is nearlyimpossible! In the construction industry,a crisis typically means that someone has been seriously injured or killed on a project. The U.S. Bureau of LaborStatistics reports that in 1999 the construction industry accounted for more than 1,100 fatalities.

Even construction companies with the best safety records in the industry arevulnerable; therefore, companies must be prepared and have anorganized approach to a crisis.

It is said that there are two types of companies . . . those whohave already dealt with a crisis, and those who will!

On March 24, 2001 Independence Excavating and PrecisionEnvironmental held a Crisis Management presentation for over100 employees with Janine Reid. Janine Reid has over 20 yearsof construction industry experience in crisis management planning, crisis simulations, and spokesperson training. She is the author of Crisis Management: Planning and MediaRelations for the Design and Construction Industry and What To Do When The Sky Starts Falling. The presentation was extremelysuccessful. Every owner, supervisor, receptionist, and employeewas introduced to the skills necessary to portray their company inthe best possible light while working under the worst possiblecircumstances.

Independence Excavating has always been very aggressive intheir approach to safety and will continue to implement programsthat minimize risks. Continued training and education for allemployees in safe and efficient work procedures will reduce theneed to ever implement our Crisis Management Plan.

Feature Project

The winter saw lots ofactivity in the InformationTechnology Dept. with

our company’s recent officeexpansions on Schaaf Rd., the addition of new crushingsites in Florida, and the construction of a new showroombuilding for equipment rentals.

The IT Dept. has been really focused on building newinfrastructure on our private wide area network. This networkcarries all of the computer and communication signals thatwe use to communicate, whether it’s between buildings,between rooms, or out to the Internet. When our offices andbuildings expand, our private network expands, too.

During the last several months, the shop area down-stairs was remodeled, adding several new offices and a conference room. The IT Dept. extended the network wiringinto these offices, as well as into the new office space sharedby Independence Excavating and Precision EnvironmentalCo. Each room has been fitted with two or three networkaccess receptacles for connecting phones, computers, and printers.

Our equipment rental and building supply sales groupnow has a large showroom and storage building at 6500Schaaf Rd. Although relatively close to our headquarters, it wasn’t possible to directly connect this building to our private network. So in order to give the rental/building supply group access to our e-mail, accounting system, andfile server, they are using the Internet as a bridge betweentheir building and our network. This bridge is called a “virtual private network,” or VPN.

The Orlando and Tampa crushing facilities will soonhave permanent VPN-style access to our systems, too. Users there will be able to exchange files, e-mail, and otherdata with users in Cleveland.

We’ve also begun to build our next-generation softwareenvironment. We’ve been using products from Microsoft,IBM, Sun Microsystems, Cheetah, Pick Systems, andCompaq. As we look to the future, we’re considering somecompelling new software products to help run our enterprise.

One of these new products is a document managementsolution. Document management will soon allow our com-pany to increase the accuracy of our business information,substantially reduce paperwork, and recall important documents without having to have the paper documents onhand. This project was first envisioned by Tony DiGeronimo.Jim Reeves, Eric Dombrowski, and Ted Howard have alsocontributed excellent ideas to this software project, too. We are a document-driven firm, so the way we handle ourbusiness documents has a direct impact on the way we perform as a competitor in the industry. As we begin toexchange data electronically with our business partners,such as vendors, unions, and customers, proper documentmanagement will become critical. We’ll soon be able toshare job drawings and specs with our subcontractors usingprivate, web-based tools. Indy Equipment will be able toshare its engineering designs electronically with potentialcustomers, existing clients, and its marketing force.Superintendents and project managers will be able to enterpayroll and equipment expenses in the field – without touching a pen and paper. They’ll be able to approve invoices without ever holding them in your hand.

During the last three years, Independence Excavatingmodernized its communications infrastructure. Now, with our modern, expanded network and our new choices in software, including enterprise-wide document management,Independence Excavating and its employees are securingtheir roles as leaders in the industry.
