Product
Roadway & Highway Paving
Full-scope asphalt paving for interstates, arterials, and local roads built to DOT/AASHTO specs, covering milling, resurfacing, and new construction. Design-mix capabilities optimize aggregate and binder for ride quality and durability—asphalt comprises 94% of US paved roads (NAPA) and overlays typically extend service life 8–15 years (FHWA). Proven on-time delivery on complex, phased corridors, meeting phased mobilization and traffic-control milestones.
Maintenance & Rehabilitation
Services include resurfacing, overlays, patching, crack sealing and pavement preservation to extend asset life by 5–15 years and deliver ROI up to 4:1 (FHWA 2024). Focused treatments can cut lifecycle costs 20–40%, helping agencies prioritize limited budgets. Night work and dedicated traffic control reduce daytime disruption and maintain ADT flow. Data-backed condition assessments drive treatment priority using PCI and network-level modeling.
Sitework & Earthworks
Sitework & Earthworks delivers pad-ready sites for public and private projects, handling development, grading, subgrade stabilization and base installation that typically comprise 10–20% of total project cost. Integrates soil testing, compaction to ~95% Standard Proctor, and erosion control; EPA NPDES permits apply for disturbances ≥1 acre. Coordination with vertical contractors and owners ensures compliant stormwater measures and fast turnover to construction.
Utilities & Drainage Systems
Utilities & Drainage Systems delivers turnkey installation of stormwater, sanitary and potable water lines plus culverts, integrating retention ponds, curb-and-gutter and inlet structures while meeting Clean Water Act, local and state permitting and federal guidelines; hydrology modeling is used to optimize conveyance and detention for resilient, flood-mitigation outcomes.

Place
Southeast U.S. Footprint
Operate across 10 southeastern states with dense coverage along growth corridors proximate to major DOT districts and 14 metro MSAs; 12 area offices and 18 plants shorten mobilization to 24–48 hours. Infrastructure and logistics scale enable management of multi-state programs up to $120M annually, supporting rapid deployment into interstate corridors and high-growth urban markets.
Regional Hubs & Mobile Crews
Regional hubs stage equipment for rapid dispatch, aligning with IIJA/BIL-era demand after the $550 billion new infrastructure investment through 2026. Mobile paving and milling trains enable fast response to seasonal windows and emergency repairs. Cross-trained crews shift between projects as demand moves across hubs. Field maintenance teams and spare fleets preserve uptime for continuous operations.
Public Bids & Prequalification
Engage via state DOT letting schedules, municipal RFPs and centralized procurement portals to capture work funded under the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which authorized about 550 billion in new infrastructure investment. Maintain up-to-date licenses, 100% performance/payment bonding where required, and OSHA safety records. Build relationships with procurement officers and project engineers and track letting calendars to ensure competitive presence.
Integrated Supply Chain
Integrated Supply Chain leverages company plants and partner quarries to secure continuous material flow, optimizing haul routes and just-in-time deliveries to cut turnaround. Inventory buffers are staged for the May–September peak paving window, while supplier coordination manages weather and demand variability to maintain schedule adherence and quality.
- May–September: peak paving window
- Plants + partner quarries: continuous supply
- Optimized haul routes & JIT: reduced delays
- Supplier coordination: weather & demand buffering
Project Phasing & Access
Stage work to keep at least one 12-foot travel lane open and maintain business/resident access; schedule disruptive tasks at night or off-peak where feasible to reduce peak delay. Use MUTCD-compliant MOT plans to minimize congestion and incidents, and deploy clear signage with legibility ranges up to 500 ft for 55 mph corridors plus 511/SMS traveler alerts.
- Maintain one 12-foot lane
- Night/off-peak scheduling
- MUTCD-compliant MOT
- Signage legible to 500 ft
Southeast paving: 10 states, $120M/yr program capacity
Operate in 10 southeastern states with 12 area offices and 18 plants, enabling 24–48h mobilization and multi-state program capacity up to $120M/year. Regional hubs and mobile paving trains support May–Sep peak windows and IIJA-driven demand from the $550B infrastructure package. Engage via DOT lettings, municipal RFPs and centralized portals with 100% bonding and OSHA compliance.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| States | 10 |
| Area offices | 12 |

Price
Unit- Contracts
Unit-contract pricing uses bid-per-item metrics (ton-miles, lane-miles, cubic yards) common in DOT work; 2024 market data show lane-mile bids often fall between $50,000 and $400,000 per lane-mile depending on scope. Aligning pay items with standard specifications (AASHTO/FHWA templates) enables transparent change management and audit trails. This format supports scalable program execution across fiscal years and multi-year budgets (FY2024–FY2026).
Lump Sum & Design-Bid-Build
Offer fixed-price bids when scope is fully defined, leveraging lump-sum design-bid-build to deliver clear cost control and schedule certainty. Include allowances for minor field conditions (commonly 5–10% contingency in 2024 market practice) to limit change orders. Tight estimating is supported by historical production rates and unit-cost databases to improve bid accuracy and minimize variance.
Cost-Plus/Time & Materials
Cost-Plus/Time & Materials pricing is used when scope is uncertain or emergency work is required, offering transparent labor, equipment and material rates; daily tickets and owner sign-offs provide real-time spend control and auditability, making this model ideal for disaster response and rapid mobilization where speed and accountability are essential.
Escalation & Indexing
Escalation & Indexing clauses link asphalt cement and fuel adjustment clauses to established indices (eg CPI and WTI), mitigating commodity volatility for both parties, defining trigger thresholds (eg X% move over Y months) and explicit calculation methods so adjustments are formulaic; this improves bid competitiveness amid price swings—US CPI rose 3.4% in 2024 and WTI averaged about $77/bbl in 2024, offering recent index anchors.
- Index ties: CPI, WTI
- Triggers: percentage move over defined period
- Method: formulaic prorated adjustments
- Benefit: reduces risk, sharper bids
Terms, Retainage & Incentives
Standard retainage 5–10% with milestone releases at staged completions; early-pay discounts 1–2% for 10–30 day payment windows to enforce prompt-pay compliance. Lane-rental charges commonly $1,000–$5,000/day and A+B incentives add 5–15% to accelerate delivery; delays incur liquidated damages often 0.1–0.5% contract value/day, capped near 10%.
- Retainage: 5–10%
- Early-pay: 1–2% (10–30 days)
- Lane-rental: $1k–$5k/day
- A+B incentives: 5–15%
- LDs: 0.1–0.5%/day, cap ~10%
Lane-mile pricing: unit contracts, CPI/WTI escalation, retainage & early-pay
Price strategy mixes unit-contract ($50,000–$400,000/lane‑mile), fixed‑price with 5–10% contingency, and Cost‑Plus/T&M for uncertain scope; escalation clauses tie to CPI (3.4% 2024) and WTI (~$77/bbl 2024). Retainage 5–10%, early‑pay 1–2% (10–30 days), lane‑rental $1k–$5k/day, LDs 0.1–0.5%/day (cap ~10%).
| Metric | Range/Value |
|---|---|
| Lane‑mile bids | $50k–$400k |
| CPI (2024) | 3.4% |
| WTI (2024) | $77/bbl |
| Retainage | 5–10% |
| Early‑pay | 1–2% |
| LDs | 0.1–0.5%/day, cap ~10% |
