majority of its job sites is skid steers, which are used acrossall crews for various roles. NEWPORT said the compact sizeand versatility of the skid steers makes them the idealmachine on the job site.
In preparation for the upcoming 2015 season, NEWPORTturned to Ambrose Equipment, who it had been using for 15years, to have its skid steers serviced. In the meantime,NEWPORT had rented a few of Ambrose Equipment’sWacker Neuson skid steer loaders, to rave reviews from thecrew.
“Wacker’s innovative design and high quality engineeringhas created a skid steer that is operated strictly by a hand heldjoy-stick device, rather than making our operators use a com-bination of foot and arm controls,” said Tony Barrile, vicepresident of NEWPORT.
NEWPORT is now the proud owner of eight new WackerNeuson skid steer loaders, all purchased from AmbroseEquipment, formerly known as Woods CRW Corp. of NewHampshire, in Hooksett, N.H. Ambrose Equipment has his-torically focused on the paving arena within the constructionindustry and is now carrying Wacker’s new line of compact,earth moving equipment.
“Ambrose Equipment has been a trusted dealer that wehave turned to since NEWPORT began. They have animpeccable service team that is willing to assist us aroundthe clock, along with a sales team that has profound knowl-edge of the industry and equipment. They take the time tolisten to our needs and guide us to machines that meet thespecific demands of the job. We have developed and main-tained a great relationship with them over the years, andthey have and will continue to be a company that we rely on

MoNtPeLier, Vt. (AP) Vermonttransportation secretary sue Minterannounced that she’s resigning andrunning for governor, the thirddemocrat to enter the race.
Minter, 54, said she will formallyannounce her candidacy in october.the former state lawmaker fromWaterbury, who helped lead the recov-ery from tropical storm irene, said herdecision was motivated by what shehas seen Vermont residents accomplishwhen they come together.
“i’m motivated from the experi-ences i’ve had, you know, working incommunities all over the state, andfrom being a mom and a communityleader, and i really have seen the chal-lenges that we face and really under-stand the economic anxiety thatVermonters feel. You know, when i seeproblems, i also see potential,” shesaid.
she faces a democratic primary
contest that to date includes Housespeaker shap smith and Google exec-utive and former lawmaker Mattdunne.

and 1,300 employees.As the irene recovery officer she
said she saw that Vermonters accom-plish great things when they cometogether. “i am motivated by that. ithink Vermonters are looking for aleader to make Vermont work. i wantto be that governor,” she said.
Gov. Peter shumlin said that he hadappointed deputy transportationsecretary chris cole to lead theagency, following Minter’s resigna-tion.
“For four years, sue Minter hasbeen working hard to keep Vermontersmoving forward,” shumlin said.“Whether it was overseeing recoveryefforts following irene, steadilyimproving Vermont’s transportationinfrastructure, or managing one of thelargest agencies in state government,sue has been an invaluable asset to thestate of Vermont. she is smart, driven,and an incredibly talented leader.”

for continued support,” said Ralph Longfellow, NEWPORTfleet manager. The fleet of skid steers came special ordered with
Michelin X TWEEL SSL tires. Longfellow said, “The Michelin X TWEEL SSL provides
us with the traction that we need for our skid steer loaders tobe productive. When retrofitting with the airless radial tire,we do not have to worry about flats and down time, whichhave been an issue for us in the past. The large footprintdelivers even wear. Our operators love the smooth, cush-ioned ride provided by the Michelin X TWEEL. And, inaddition to making our operators more comfortable, thecushioned ride helps to reduce the wear and tear on our skidsteer loaders.” NEWPORT’s new Wacker skid steer loaders were imme-
diately put to use on multiple job sites throughoutMassachusetts. In Belmont/Watertown, Mass., NEWPORT is currently
doing a $15.5 million complete road reconstruction projectfor Massachusetts DOT. This 4 mi. (6.4 km) stretch of roadhadn’t been completely redone since the 1950s and theunderground utilities were more than 80 years old. The jobalso has entailed removing the trolley tracks that ran acrossthe road, installing updated traffic equipment, creating newconcrete sidewalks with different patterns and colors. NEW-PORT was not able to use a vibratory roller in certain areas,as it typically would on this type of job, because it couldn’trisk damaging some of the existing pipework. It also found
itself improvising and adjusting to the original plans, becauseeverything was far more outdated than anticipated. The job began in 2013 and is expected to be completed in
spring of 2016. The job has used a total of 29,000 sq. yds.(24,247 sq m) of asphalt and 26,000 sq. yds. (21,739 sq m)of cement for the sidewalks. “One of the things that make NEWPORT unique is our
ability to self-perform all of our own work. When we bid ona project, we go into it knowing that we can get the workdone with our own labor force — over all aspects of a proj-ect. While we can perform our work, we do have strong rela-tionships with subcontractors, and work regularly with them.Having our own paving crews is also very beneficial to us,because it allows us to be in control of our finished product,and not be reliant on other’s schedules,” said Richard L.DeFelice, executive vice president of NEWPORT.In Gloucester, Mass., NEWPORT is currently doing a
$6.9 million seawall reconstruction. This is NEWPORT’sfirst job in this arena, and is one area that it is looking to
expand into.“We currently have a solid foundation. We are looking to
expand on that, by exploring other verticals, as well as otherareas of the country,” said DeFelice. “Having our home basein New England means we are bound by the weather. We areexploring the options to also expand into warmer climates, tofacilitate full operational capacity 12 months a year.”NEWPORT also began a job for the Massachusetts DCR
Agency on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Mass. This $6.8million dollar job will include new sidewalks, hardscape andunderground utilities, and is expected to be completed nextyear, at the end of the 2016 season. For more information on NEWPORT Construction, visit
