2011 ARTBA National Convention 3

Dear arTBa MeMBer:

Welcome to Monterey for the 2011 ARTBA National Convention!

We know that you have your choice of business meetings to attend, and we deeply appreci-ate your selecting ours. It is our goal to provide you with a program of events and networking opportunities that you will find valuable.

While ARTBA’s main focus remains on federal transportation investment and policy issues, the association also serves as an honest broker of information by providing its members with insights about emerging state/local funding trends and how they can be leveraged to maxi-mize the overall market. This helps explain the reasoning behind the meeting’s theme: “New Opportunities for Market Growth.”

General sessions with leading industry experts will cover: where transportation financing dol-lars come from and where they go, how California was able to dedicate more than $40 billion for transportation improvement projects through state and local ballot initiatives, future financ-ing models like Oregon’s VMT pilot program, and ideas for moving the P3 market forward.

There were a flurry of developments in Washington during September relating to the reauthorization of the federal highway, transit and aviation bills, and the FY 2012 appropriations bills. ARTBA’s top staff will break it all down for you and explain what it means. They will also provide you with a current transportation construction market conditions report and a forecast for 2012.

You won’t want to miss the presentation by one of the most highly sought out business speakers, Dr. Robert Kriegel, a “New York Times” and “Business Week” best-selling author, who will detail strategies for gaining the competitive edge by redefining roles and reinventing the game.

We also have a special dinner and entertainment on Tuesday night when we honor the 2011-12 ARTBA Chairman Paul Yarossi of HNTB and his leadership team.

Finally, I want to thank and acknowledge two groups of people: our sponsors for their generous support, and those industry profession-als who are attending their first ARTBA National Convention.

My wife, Judy, and I, look forward to visiting with you over the next few days.

WilliaM G. COx, 2011 arTBa ChairMaNPresiDeNTCOrMaN CONsTruCTiON, iNC.

Key General Session Speakers

robert kriegel, “The New York Times” and “Business Week” Best-selling author; Olympic and Professional athlete Coach

“a passionate 90% is better than a panicked 110%, any day of the week.” Dr. robert kriegel

One of today’s most sought after business speakers, Dr. Robert Kriegel teaches bold, “out of the box” strate-gies for keeping ahead of the changes, challenges and competition in today’s dynamic marketplace. A former all-American swimmer, he has been a “mental coach” for many Olympic and professional teams and athletes. “The New York Times” said his work “spurred a revolution in performance practices,” and many of the tech-niques he helped pioneer for maximizing performance and motivation are in common usage today.

Author of the international bestseller “If It Ain’t Broke…BREAK IT!,” Dr. Kriegel is one of the nation’s leading authorities in the field of change and human performance, according to “U.S. News & World Report.” His book, “Sacred Cows Make the Best Burgers,” made “Business Week’s” bestseller list. Dr. Kriegel’s latest book about innovation is “How to Succeed in Business Without Working so Damn Hard.”

Dr. Kriegel will outline strategies for gaining the competitive edge by not competing but changing the game, leading customers not following them and rethinking rules, redefining roles and reinventing the game.

His numerous television credits include the hit shows “Desperate Housewives,” “Medium,” “Burn Notice,” “Law & Order” and “Seinfeld.” He’s made dozens of appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

Will Kempton, Orange County Transportation Authority chief executive officer

Will Kempton, 35-year veteran of the transportation industry, is the chief executive officer of The Orange Coun-ty Transportation Authority (OCTA), a multi-modal transportation agency created in 1991. Previously, Kempton was director of Caltrans in the administration of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. He began his career at Caltrans in 1973. He worked in various management positions in finance and in the director’s office at Caltrans prior to his appointment as assistant director of legislative and congressional affairs from 1980 to 1985. He also spent seven years as executive director of the Santa Clara County Traffic Authority. For 10 years, he was a partner at Smith, Kempton & Watts, a transportation consulting and advocacy firm.



Bert sandman, Transportation California executive director

Bert Sandman, a 40-year veteran of civil construction, is executive director of Transportation California, a coalition which unites the construction industry, key labor organizations, business and the transportation com-munity. In 1991, Sandman and the 11 largest contractors in California saw the looming infrastructure shortfall and created Transportation California to make and keep the funding and condition of California’s transporta-tion infrastructure a priority. He served as chairman of Transportation California from 1997-2003, and returned in 2011. Under Sandman’s leadership, the group led the efforts to educate California’s decision makers and general public about seismic retrofitting, protection for transportation funding and the need to develop new sources of funding for congestion relief and transportation safety. The group continues to inform leaders and the public about the challenges of maintaining and rehabilitating the state’s aging transportation infrastructure.

Sandman started his career in 1969 as a laborer in Local #185. Previously, he was CEO of American Civil Construc-tors in Lakewood, Colo.

Jim earp, California alliance for Jobs executive director

Jim Earp is the executive director of the California Alliance for Jobs, a business-labor partnership that rep-resents more than 1,700 contractors in the heavy construction industry and the 80,000 union members they employ throughout northern and central California. Under his leadership, the Alliance has become a strong political force for increasing investment in California’s transportation and water infrastructure through state and local ballot initiatives.

The Alliance was the leading advocate in the successful 2002 campaign to pass Proposition 42, which dedi-cated state sales taxes on gasoline to transportation projects. In 2006, Earp was critical to helping win voter approval of statewide Propositions 1 A through 1E, which generated $37 billion in infrastructure bonds and dedicated $1.5 billion a year in gasoline sales tax revenue to transportation. In 2008, Earp chaired the Prop. 1A High Speed Rail Bond campaign, which was successful in passing a $9.9 billion bond measure to help fund the initial stages of the nation’s first true high-speed rail system.

Jim Whitty, Oregon Department of Transportation Office of Innovative Partnerships & alternative Funding manager

Jim Whitty joined the Oregon Department of Transportation to manage several task forces with “cutting edge” missions for innovative transportation funding, including the Road User Fee Task Force to develop a mileage fee to ultimately replace the fuels tax, and the Innovative Finance Advisory Committee. He developed the Oregon Innovative Partnerships Program with the help of the Innovative Finance Advisory Committee in 2002, and oversaw legislation to authorize the program during the 2003 Oregon Legislative Assembly. Through the Office of Innovative Partnerships and Alternative Funding, he manages the development of transportation projects as public-private ventures and the Mileage Fee Pilot Program.

His prior experience includes 10 years working in transportation finance public policy for Associated Oregon Industries and the Portland Chamber of Commerce, and six years in private law practice.


robert alger, The lane Construction Corporation president & CeO

Robert E. Alger, a registered professional engineer, began his career at The Lane Construction Corporation more than 30 years ago. After serving as job engineer, project engineer, project manager and vice president, Bob became president and chief executive officer in 2001. Lane is one of America’s premier heavy civil con-tractors. During his decade at the helm, Lane’s revenue has grown by $700 million to over $1 billion today.

Under Bob’s leadership, Lane became a founding member of the Construction Industry Ethics and Compliance Initiative, and dramatically improved its incident and lost time rates—a remarkable accomplishment since Lane self performs more than 75 percent of the work constructing highways, bridges, locks, dams, and mass transit and airport systems.

In the P3 arena, Lane and partners are currently constructing one of the largest public-private partnership (P3) projects in the United States, the I-495 Capital Beltway High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes in Va., valued at $1.5 billion. Bob is the incoming first vice president of ARTBA’s Contractors Division.

Bob is a 2011 recipient of the Moles Award for Outstanding Achievement in Construction.

Geoffrey s. Yarema, Nossaman llP partner

Geoff Yarema, a Nossaman partner and chair of the firm’s Infrastructure Practice Group, is a nationally recog-nized leader in infrastructure development and finance with more than 30 years of experience. He has helped pioneer innovative procurement, contracting, and financing structures for large public works projects through-out North America and has proven himself an essential advisor to public agencies seeking to make effective use of innovative forms of contracts including: design-build, design-build-operate-maintain, toll concession, availability payment, pre-development, and other kinds of public-private partnerships.

Yarema has been sought out by more than 25 U.S. state departments of transportation and regional transpor-tation agencies. A past president of ARTBA’s P3 division, he also served as a key commissioner, appointed by former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters, to the congressionally-mandated National Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing Commission, which released its final report in 2009.




robert Poole, reason Foundation director of transportation policy and searle Freedom Trust transportation fellow

Bob Poole is the director of transportation policy and Searle Freedom Trust transportation fellow at the Reason Foundation in Los Angeles. He co-founded the Reason Foundation in 1978, and served as its president and chief executive officer from then until the end of 2000. Poole has advised four presidential administrations on transportation and policy issues. His 1988 policy paper proposing privately financed toll lanes to relieve congestion directly inspired California’s landmark private tollway law, which authorized four pilot toll projects including the successful 91 Express Lanes in Orange County. More than 20 other states and the federal government have since enacted similar public-private partnership legislation.

He has served on transportation advisory bodies to the California Air Resources Board and the Southern Cali-fornia Association of Governments. He is an advisor to the American Legislative Exchange Council’s Trade & Transportation Task Force and has been a long-time leader in ARTBA’s P3 Division.

Bill Dorey, former president and chief executive officer of Granite Construction Company

Bill Dorey, former president and chief executive officer of Granite Construction Inc., retired last year after a distinguished 42-year career with the company. He was chief executive officer from January 2004 to August 31, 2010, and president from February 2003 to August 31, 2010. He also served as chief operating officer from May 1998 and January 2004.

Under his leadership, Granite employed nearly 6,000 people in any given season across the United States and achieved peak revenue of nearly $3 billion.

Dorey has been a director of Granite since January 2004 and also is a director of Wilder Construction Company. He is a trustee of the Norman Y. Mineta International Institute for Surface Transportation Policy Studies, a member on the Construction Industry Round Table (CIRT), and a director of the California Busi-ness Roundtable.

san Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission (Carmel Mission)The Basilica of San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo Mission (Carmel Mission) was founded by Fr. Junipero Serra in 1770, making it the second of the 21 California missions. Though the mission was founded in Monterey, it was quickly decided that Carmel-by-the-Sea was a more appropriate location. The fledgling establishment was moved to the Rio Road site in 1771 and the Carmel mission was dedicated in 1797. Fr. Serra was buried within its grounds. Although there are stairs in several places, the courtyards and Basilica are wheelchair accessible. Admission is $6.50 for adults. Hours: Monday – Saturday from 9:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Please be aware that the Carmel Mission is an active parish and has services on Sunday mornings, and weddings and funerals during the week, which may limit accessibility.

ideas and long-term maintainability.

At STV, we see things a little differently. We’re 100 percent

PROVIDING CUSTOM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

PROGRAMS FOR TRANSPORTATION DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION EXECUTIVES

Building transportation infrastructure-particularly projects owned by public agencies—demands complex leadership, management, specialized

safety training and negotiation skills not required by general construction managers. That’s why the arTBa Transportation Development Foundation (arTBa-TDF) created the “Transportation Builder

Institute” (TBI). This first-of-its-kind industry institute includes project management academies

and training programs designed exclusively to meet the professional development needs of transportation construction professionals.

ARTBA’s more than 5,000 members are among the most influential people and companies in the industry. And because ARTBA members are vested in the association’s cause, they are involved and engaged. They rely on ARTBA for federal legislative, safety, environmental and regulatory news impacting transportation development.
