TEXAS DISTRICT REPORT
John Carlson, Senior Vice President and Texas District Manager
Our
primary goals in our first full fiscal year were to establish the
foundation of our team, embed ourselves in the community, and win work –
all three of which we accomplished.
Now that we have settled in, our team has a great foundation to build
upon. Our leadership team is now in place. Jeff Webster, a former San
Antonio City Councilman and Vice President from AECOM, came on board as
Business Development Manager. Bill Steele made the move from Tucson to
be Preconstruction Manager for building work. Chris Cedar was named Area
Manager in charge of civil operations and Gus Hurtado joined the team
as Preconstruction Project Manager for civil work. We are very pleased
with this leadership team and have great confidence in them leading
their respective efforts to be successful for the shareholders of Sundt.
They have embraced and are practicing the values and culture of Sundt,
which is incredibly important for the success of this office.
The entire staff has continued to invest in the community through the
Sundt Foundation grants ($68,000 to date in less than two years), as
well as involvement in various community and industry organizations. Ben
Martin was selected to the SA Real Estate Council Leadership Class for
2012. Abigail Shaver was elected president of the Sundt Foundation, and
is currently serving her term. Our team participated in many volunteer
efforts — from building new ramps at Morgan’s Wonderland, a theme park
for individuals with mental and physical challenges, to Christmas in
April.
Operationally, our first job – the San Antonio Public Safety Answering
Point – was nearing substantial completion at the end of the fiscal
year. This has been a very important project for us, demonstrating
Sundt’s commitment to excellence in delivering a critical facility to
the community.
In FY ’11 we won a project to reconstruct the iconic 7th Street Bridge
in Fort Worth, replacing an existing 98-year old structure. It is
Sundt’s first project with the Texas Department of Transportation, an
owner we are excited to work with on this and future endeavors.
There are numerous opportunities for the entire company in Texas, thanks
to the state’s stable economy. The Texas District office is engaging
and working with Sundt’s Southwest, Heavy Civil, Concrete, Federal,
Industrial and California Divisions on some exciting opportunities. We
are all supporting each other and our ability to get work for the
benefit of the shareholders at Sundt.
BUILDING DIVISION - SOUTHWEST DISTRICT REPORT
Marty Hedlund, Senior Vice President and Southwest District Manager
Fiscal
year 2011 was a solid year for the Southwest District, with
above-target margins and revenues just a shade below $300 million. With
the still-weak economic conditions looming, it was critical that, while
we were doing well operationally in 2011, we also make progress on our
tactical plan to diversify our markets and geographic footprint. We have
demonstrated that commitment this year by focusing our efforts on
market diversity and strength, acquisition of key people, and serving
the clients and communities where we work.
This year saw the execution of our first project in New Mexico, at New
Mexico State University’s Chamisa Village Phase 2 Student Residences,
and the winning of our first building project in El Paso, the Socorro
Independent School District’s new elementary and middle school, which
will start construction in the spring of 2012. Our expansion into
Colorado has also shown significant progress with the cultivation of a
strategic alliance with a local Colorado general contractor,
Fransen-Pittman (F-P). F-P’s local relationships in the higher
education, K-12, municipal and healthcare markets, combined with
Sundt’s resume and experience on large and complex projects in these
markets have allowed us to make significant headway toward winning
F-P|Sundt’s first project in Colorado. Investment in the best people for
our mission and tactical direction was another focus during 2011.
Countless employee-owners took on new challenges, stretched themselves
into new roles, and re-tooled their skillsets. In addition, we added
several new team members, including Dan Osterman, Adam Veeh, Russ
Korcuska, Rick Belanger, Tucker Macon, Melissa Einbinder, Ian Kennedy,
Scot Bennett and Chuck Salt. Whether new or seasoned Sundt team members,
each of us brings different perspectives and skills to be integrated
into our future success.
This year also saw the creation of the “CoreMission” program. Each
project team selected a charitable organization, neighborhood project,
or other community-related program to get involved in as a group
(including subcontractors, suppliers and in some cases our owners)
within five miles of the job site. This included constructing a
state-of-the-art playground, neighborhood clean-ups, serving meals to
the homeless and much more. Our employee-owners truly “got involved” in
the growing number of communities where we work!
The Southwest District had a solid 2011, contributed significantly to
the company’s bottom line, served our customers and communities well,
and is tactically positioned for growth in the years to come.
BUILDING DIVISION - NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DISTRICT REPORT
Cody Pearson, Senior Vice President and Northern California District Manager
Fiscal
year 2011 saw several significant accomplishments and challenges in
Northern California. The start of some projects got pushed into FY 2012
with the impact of these late starting projects reflecting a lower than
projected revenue for this year.
We finished several major projects and were complimented on the success
of these projects by winning multiple awards. Noteworthy projects
completed include the $31 million University of Nevada, Reno Medical
Learning Lab, the first project on that campus built using the
Construction Manager at Risk delivery method.
We completed the Richard E. Arnason Justice Center and the Mammoth Lakes
Courthouse, both projects for the Administrative Office of the Courts.
The Richard E. Arnason Justice Center project won the California branch
of the Associated General Contractors of America’s partnering award. The
University of California (UC), Davis Graduate School of Management
project, which we completed the previous year, won the 2011 Western
Pacific Region and National Design-Build Institute of America Excellence
award and achieved LEED Platinum certification. It is the first LEED
Platinum building the Northern California District has built.
We’ve started a veterinary lab project at UC Davis and have also been
selected to build a $71 million design-build student housing project
there.
A major accomplishment for our district is the amount of work we’ve been
selected on that will start in 2012 and 2013. This creates good
potential for backlog. With close to $200 million in work selected, we
will start 2012 in a very positive position, given the current market
and economy. We have also been selected for projects that will start in
2013, which will help with consistent growth and revenue.
There are still significant opportunities available in the marketplace,
albeit considerably more competition. We continue to pursue larger
projects and develop new markets. The justice market is a market that we
are specializing in. This includes courthouses, jails, prisons and
correctional facilities. This market has great potential for the future
and we continue to develop our resume and experience.
Significant collaboration among all of the Sundt offices has helped us
acquire work utilizing all of our resources. This is a strategy that
benefits everyone in the company, and something we continue to focus on
as we look toward the future. With this in mind, we began FY 2012 as one
consolidated California district. This allows us to take advantage of
combined resources, a larger opportunity pool and strategically
positions us to achieve the 2020 growth goals.
BUILDING DIVISION - SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DISTRICT REPORT
Jon Wald, Senior Vice President and Southern California District Manager
In
Southern California, our focus in fiscal year 2011 was to capture a
strong backlog moving into FY ‘12 through ‘13 and make further strides
toward broadening our diversity in both markets and geography to support
the company’s growth goals for 2020. We made positive progress in both
areas and brought more backlog into 2012 than any previous year.
One of the most exciting developments this year was our decision to
merge with our sister office in Northern California to create the new
California District. This change will allow us to combine resources and
better serve the state of California as a true regional contractor. It
will also help us be more cost-effective with our general and
administrative overhead, leading to stronger bottom-line profits.
While the U.S. and California economies continue to battle huge fiscal
deficits and a very slow recovery, we still have good opportunities in
the various markets where we are active. We have increased our business
development efforts in the greater Los Angeles, Orange County and
Riverside/San Bernardino areas. We have projects currently in either
design or construction in San Diego, Los Angeles, Palm Desert, San Luis
Obispo and Ventura.
In 2011 we completed the $32 million Sweetwater High School expansion,
the $27 million University of California, San Diego Muir College
Apartments and the $27 million Miramar College Classroom Buildings. We
began work on the new $50 million City College Classroom/Garage complex,
the $70 million San Diego State Aztec Student Union, the $14 million
Grossmont High School Aquatic Centers, and the $9 million Monte Vista
High School Classroom modernizations. In a joint venture with Kiewit and
Sundt’s Heavy Civil Division we continued construction on the $230
million San Diego Airport Terminal 2 Landside expansion. We also were
working on the $50 million Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Student Recreation
Center expansion, the $24 million Miramar College Library and Learning
Resource Center, and the $21 million Los Angeles Unified School District
South Region Number 9 Elementary School.
A continued emphasis on improving our business development techniques,
differentiating ourselves with current customers, cultivating new
clients, and diversifying into new markets will all help drive us toward
reaching our growth goals for 2020.
FEDERAL DIVISION REPORT
Tom Mertz, Senior Vice President and Federal Division Manager
The
federal market is evolving, and so are we. The drop-off in
private-sector and municipal opportunities has caused the competition
for federal projects to increase to levels that have never been seen
before. The significant increase in competition caused us to modify our
approach to the lifecycle of projects - from pursuit through execution.
We have developed strong relationships with designers and subcontractors
that have a national reach, which has allowed us to find ways to be
price-competitive without sacrificing the quality of work or the quality
experience that is so important to maintaining our reputation. Sundt’s
long history in this market and our continued focus and commitment keeps
us well positioned to pursue and win new work.
In fiscal year 2011, we wrapped up our large projects at Fort Bliss,
Texas, completed another successful project for the Arizona Army
National Guard in Marana, Ariz., and made considerable progress on our
projects at Fort Sam Houston and Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Sill, Oklahoma,
and Fort Polk, La.
Geographic expansion and growing our client base are keys to our future
and part of the evolution of the Federal Division. We had great success
in that by winning our first projects at Camp Lejeune, N.C. The two
projects are Bachelor Enlisted Quarters with contract values of
approximately $40 million each. These projects were won as part of a
special joint venture program administered by the Small Business
Administration known as an 8a Mentor-Protégé. Sundt is the mentor and
our protégé is a small Phoenix-based firm, Andale Construction.
We also won our first project with the General Services Administration
(GSA), the design-build contract for the John M. Roll federal courthouse
in Yuma, Ariz. The courthouse is named after the judge who was
instrumental in getting the courthouse project approved for funding.
Sadly, judge Roll was killed in Tucson during the attack last January on
Gabrielle Giffords.
The evolution of the Federal Division will continue as we expand our
geographic reach, deepen our relationship with our military clients,
mature the relationship with the GSA, and look to develop new
relationships with other agencies.
The project wins and successful execution of those projects are
impressive and demonstrate our focus on the Sundt vision of inspiring
people to go beyond the expected and the Sundt mission of serving our
clients and communities to increase shareholder value.
HEAVY CIVIL DIVISION REPORT
Jeff Williamson, Senior Vice President and Heavy Civil Division Manager
Fiscal
year 2011 was a great year for the Heavy Civil Division. Our strategic
plan for the year was focused on geographic expansion and getting large
projects. The year was highlighted by numerous new project starts,
completion of several major projects, and furthering our plan to expand
geographically by opening a satellite office in El Paso, Texas.
Major project completions for this past year include the $90 million
Loop 101 High Occupancy Vehicle Lane project and the $27 million Loop
303 Interim project for the Arizona Department of Transportation; the
$30 million Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility paving and utilities
project and the $23 million Fort Bliss Training Area Tank Trails for
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Texas; the $25 million Roger Road to
Ina Road Plant Interconnect project for Pima County, Ariz.; the $16
million Northern Avenue Storm Drain project for the City of Glendale,
Ariz.; and the $12 million Salt River Bank Extension and Runway Safety
Area project for the City of Phoenix at Sky Harbor International
Airport.
The Heavy Civil Division was also successful in obtaining work for
repeat clients and several new clients. Some of the major project starts
include the $224 million San Diego Airport Landside Terminal Expansion,
a $190 million Strauss Rail Yard project in Santa Teresa, N.M., the
$160 million Sellwood Bridge Project in Portland, Ore., the $61 million
Transmountain West Project in El Paso, Texas, the $52 million Cordes
Junction Project in Ariz., and multiple projects for the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers at Fort Bliss and Fort Hood, Texas, with contract values
totaling over $100 million. Many of the projects listed above are being
performed with joint venture partners.
Another major accomplishment this year was opening a satellite office in
El Paso. Over the past three years the Heavy Civil Division has been
awarded contracts totaling over $325 million in the El Paso region
while, as a company, Sundt has been awarded over $600 million worth of
contracts. Until recently, most of the work in El Paso has been
completed at Fort Bliss. Opening the office in El Paso has helped
establish Sundt’s presence outside the base and has already paid
dividends in helping Sundt acquire work with the Texas Department of
Transportation, Union Pacific Railroad, and the Socorro School District.
Establishing the office has also helped strengthen our relationships
with the local subcontracting community, which will help make us more
competitive on future pursuits.
We are looking forward to another successful year in fiscal year 2012.
INDUSTRIAL DIVISION REPORT
Steve Robinson, Senior Vice President and Industrial Division Manager
The
Industrial Division had revenues of $140 million for fiscal year 2011.
We expanded our power resume with the acquisition of five projects at
the Solana Solar Generating Facility project in Gila Bend, Ariz. The
projects’ total value is approximately $33 million and includes salt
tank foundations, cooling tower foundations, Heat Transfer Fluid
foundations, power block foundations and substation. In addition to this
work we are actively pursuing $200 million in projects at the facility
throughout FY ‘12. This will include additional foundations, solar field
piping work, groundwater treatment plant and the power block process
mechanical work.
The mining market became more active in FY ‘11. We have been continually
doing work at Resolution Copper. We made significant inroads at the
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. Sierrita mine as a result of the
efforts of Clint Sundt and the project staff. We were awarded six
projects in FY ‘11 at Sierrita and have been selected on three
additional projects for FY ‘12. We will continue to pursue $50 million
in projects at this mine site. In addition, due to the continued
strength of the commodities market, we are pursuing projects at the
following FMI sites in Arizona: Bagdad, Morenci, Twin Buttes, Bisbee,
Cypress and Chino. We are also actively working with Resolution Copper,
Rosemont Copper and Asarco.
In FY ‘11 we successfully completed the Glendale Oasis Water Treatment
Plant. The Val Vista Water Treatment Plant Granulated Activated Carbon
Implementation Project and the South Tempe Water Treatment Plant are on
schedule to be completed in the second quarter of FY ‘12. We were also
recently selected for the Flow Splitting project at the Val Vista site.
The Salt River Project Coronado Emissions Control Project in St. John’s,
Ariz., is on schedule for completion in May and we will be pursuing the
power plant’s Selective Catalytic Reduction substructure and mechanical
packages in FY ‘12.
We have targeted multiple power projects – photovoltaic solar,
concentrated solar power and traditional power projects – in California,
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Colorado for FY ‘12.
The Industrial Division’s geographic reach and range of project types
continue to evolve as we actively pursue projects in power, mining,
solar and water/wastewater. We are focused on increasing our annual
revenue to $250 million by 2015. In FY ‘12, our challenge will be to
broaden our geographic boundaries outside of Arizona into the Western
states.
CONCRETE DIVISION REPORT
Mike Hoover, Executive Vice President and COO - Concrete Division Manager
Fiscal
year 2011 was a success for Sundt’s Concrete Division. We had high
goals and were able to achieve them thanks to several large, successful
projects. In San Diego we had a $16 million contract for a classroom
building and parking structure for the San Diego Community College
District’s downtown campus. In the Phoenix metropolitan area we worked
on the Phoenix Biomedical Campus - Health Sciences Education Building,
placing almost $12 million worth of concrete work, and on the Arizona
State University Interdisciplinary Science Technology Building 4, where
we have put about $12 million of work in place.
Like many of the other offices at Sundt, the Concrete Division has been
looking beyond our traditional areas of Arizona and Southern California
for opportunities. In FY ’11, we worked on projects throughout Texas,
including the Digital Air-Ground Integration Range at Fort Bliss. This
project includes constructing 23 miles of tank trails, installing 200
pre-cast concrete targets, and building six support buildings. A casting
yard allowed us to mass produce the structures like an assembly line.
It was extremely successful to produce them this way, enabling us to
beat our production rates by completing them 30 percent sooner than
anticipated.
Our ongoing goal to cross-train engineers, estimators and project
managers from other profit centers has been a valuable process. It helps
Sundt train future builders, which is an important tenant of the
company. Sundt promotes itself as a builder rather than a broker, and
we’re continuing to sustain this through our training process.
Heading into fiscal year 2012, we certainly see some great opportunities
for the Concrete Division. We have been actively pursuing projects in a
wider geographic region with other contractors. However, we anticipate
the majority of our work will still be supporting Sundt projects. We
believe we’re going to capture somewhere around $65 million from Sundt
work and an additional $28 million from projects outside of Sundt.
MORE THAN A MOTTO, “OUR PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE” REFLECTS SUNDT'S APPROACH TO HUMAN CAPITAL
Richard Condit, Chief Administrative Officer
Although a lot has changed about Sundt since the company was founded 121
years ago, what remains the same is the fact that Our People Make the
Difference. Employing some of the most talented people in the industry
has helped us grow from a small, family-owned firm into a large,
regional contractor that is expanding into new markets and geographic
areas – even in these challenging economic times. In order to stay on
this path and thrive, we have to continue to attract and retain the very
best people, which is why in fiscal year 2011 we embarked on an
aggressive plan to raise the bar on human capital management through the
work of the Human Capital Management Committee.
Developing a human capital management system is difficult, which is why
getting the people side of a business right is the real differentiator
for any company. I am willing to bet that sometime in the past few weeks
you had a defining experience with someone from another company.
Perhaps a service technician came to your house and was friendly, giving
you confidence that he or she was honest, respected your home and
privacy, etc. As a result, you formed or maintained a favorable
impression of that company and will probably do business with it again
in the future. That person made the difference. The same is true for
Sundt: each and every interaction we have with others defines their
impression of our company. If we are courteous, tactful,
solution-oriented, respectful and act with integrity, those qualities
will also be associated with Sundt and become part of our corporate
brand.
Organizations thrive when they have the right people with the right
skills to achieve their strategic goals. Sundt has been working for many
years to put in place all of the components that define a quality
experience, what we like to call “The Sundt Experience.”
Our Human Capital Model shows each of the components we are continually
trying to improve and how they work together. For instance, retaining
talent starts with acquiring people who fit the company culture by
embodying our values of integrity, honesty, safety, and a commitment to
our communities and the construction industry. They must feel that the
company supports their professional development and does what is
necessary to keep them engaged in their jobs. It is important to note
that in our model we placed those who lead and supervise others in the
middle. They play a critical role in human capital management by
conducting job interviews, understanding how to engage people, reducing
the risk of people leaving, ensuring that people are deployed to positions that will advance their careers, and much more.
During the past year, the Human Asset Management Committee developed a
plan to continue our aggressive efforts to get better at the people side
of the business in each of the components of our model – the areas that
will determine our continued success as a company more than anything
else. We are looking to implement a more disciplined and purposeful
approach to human capital planning over the next 12 to 24 months, which
is the strategic process for aligning talent with the business strategy
that enhances the prospects of delivering on both short- and long-term
objectives.
We are also working to become more targeted in our talent development
efforts. As mentioned above, quality of supervision is perhaps the most
important factor in human capital management, and therefore we are using
a number of analytical tools to help our supervisors excel in this
area. As part of the overall assessment of our processes and the
technology we use with them, we are looking at how we can integrate all
of the human capital processes we have in the company.
Our people have been, currently are, and will be the most important
factor in Sundt’s success. We will continue to give this issue the
attention it deserves so that the company will continue to grow and
thrive for the next 121 years.
NEW PROGRAM EMPHASIZES POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND THE "WHY" OF SAFETY
Paul Levin, Corporate Director of Quality & Safety
Most
safety programs focus on the “how” of staying safe – processes and
procedures to avoid accidents and injuries and keep projects running
smoothly. Sundt’s new safety program, Safety By Choice, takes a
different approach by emphasizing the “why” of safety. The idea is to
focus on the many reasons our employees want and need to stay safe: the
families who love and depend on them, the friends they enjoy spending
time with, their health, livelihood, and the ability to do their
favorite activities. By emphasizing good safety choices and providing
immediate recognition to those who make them, the program is designed to
support and maintain a positive safety culture while improving Sundt’s
overall safety record, which is already among the best in the industry.
A visual reminder of who’s awaiting our safe return from work each day
could be the difference between making the right safety choice and a
careless decision that has lasting consequences. That’s the reason for
the large “family boards” that are being created and displayed at each
of Sundt’s jobsites and offices. They contain photos of employees’
family members, friends, pets, favorite activities – whatever it is that
motives them to stay safe and help their co-workers do the same. Seeing
the boards frequently will remind employees to think about how their
choices affect themselves and their colleagues in a more personal way,
said Area Safety Manager Jerri Dragt.
Safety is playing an increasingly important role in contractor
selection, which is another reason the new program has been introduced
and is expected to have a positive impact on Sundt’s ability to compete
for top projects.
“Sundt already has an excellent safety record, but we can’t be satisfied
with what we’ve achieved and just stop there. We want to be the best of
the best,” said Assistant Safety Director John Schultz. “Our clients
are always looking for contractors that have good safety records, and
that’s one of the reasons they choose us. Every time we get better at
safety, we are awarded bigger and better jobs.”
Instant recognition is another key component of the program and a way to
keep the message positive. Any employee “caught in the act” of making a
good safety choice and being a positive role model will likely receive
kudos and a hardhat safety sticker from his or her supervisor.
“Instant recognition gives immediate feedback in a positive way,”
Schultz explained. “We want middle and upper management, when they’re on
jobsites, to start recognizing people when they do the right things.
We’re all good at pointing out the negative, but when you’re doing
everything right, sometimes you might not even get an ‘atta boy.’ We
want to encourage people to recognize good examples and leadership when
they see them – right away.”
The new Safety By Choice program isn’t limited to the decisions made in
the field, says Area Safety Manager Paul Sprecco. It’s also intended to
prompt management to reflect on the choices they make that contribute to
others’ safety.
“It’s about choices, which means you have to look all the way back at
the decisions that occurred way up the line. And you have to look at
everything – not just the injuries, but also the near misses. What
choices did we as managers make in estimating, scheduling, etc. that
could have an impact on safety? For example, what forming systems did we
choose, what access for those forming systems did we choose? This is
not just about craft workers; it’s about all of us.”
SUNDT FOUNDATION GAVE A RECORD $700K IN FY ‘11
Abigail Shaver, Sundt Foundation President
The Sundt Foundation gave more than $700,000 to a variety of charitable
organizations in fiscal year 2011, making it our most successful year on
record. Most of that money went to programs and services that directly
benefit children in the communities in which we live and work, including
places where Sundt maintains a satellite office or has a current
project for the U.S. military. It’s exciting to see our corporate values
reflected in the numbers: each year we raise and award more money than
the last, to the tune of $4.75 million to date. We’re well on our way to
achieving a major milestone in 2012 by crossing the $5 million mark!
When the new Tucson office was completed in early 2011, a number of
Western paintings from the old office were sold and the money was given
to the Sundt Foundation for grant-making purposes in Tucson. More than
$58,000 was netted by the art auction, most of which came from the sale
of Winter Work by well-known Western artist James Reynolds, which
sold for $63,450 before commissions and fees. The Sundt Foundation
voted to use the money to give $10,000 grants to five Tucson charities,
with the remaining $8,300 held over for future grants in Tucson.
Volunteerism
was also strong in FY ‘11. Sundt employees opened their hearts to their
communities and took an active role in helping others in need by
donating nearly 3,000 hours of their time to a variety of causes. It’s
wonderful to see so much generosity, particularly since - for many of us
- time is just as valuable as money.
Several new board members were elected in 2011, among them Lisa White
who was chosen by Phoenix-area members to represent them on the board.
San Diego members selected Jacquelyn Hoppes to be their representative,
and Sacramento members elected Tom Camden.
The annual Mike Gaines MDA Golf Tournaments held in Phoenix, Tucson, San
Diego, Sacramento – and now San Antonio – have raised almost $1 million
since the first tournament was held in 2001 in Tucson. San Antonio was
new to the list of locations this year, and I’m pleased to report that
its debut was a great success with more than $15,500 raised. All of the
money is given to the Muscular Dystrophy Association to help find a cure
for Amyotrophic Lateral Scleroses (ALS).
Thank you to everyone who helped make 2011 another great year for the
Sundt Foundation. As Sundt employees, we have worked together to make a
positive impact on the lives of thousands of people.
