Letter from the President

“And they’re off,” applied not only to the start of a horse race, but also to our start in March. We set work records for the months of March, April, and May. Your check stubs no doubt reflected this great start. But, the best news is that you not only worked hard, you also worked SAFELY. Nice Job everyone! The weather was very favorable, but that’s not the main reason for our great performance. You all have helped to create a business that is first in both customer service and quality. All of you play a role in the success of our businesses, and I thank you for your efforts.

I enjoyed watching the Olympics this past summer…GO U.S.A.!! I especially enjoyed the team events. In order to be the best and win gold, a team has to work together. We did this at our company picnic in September, working together in our “Olympic” teams. This shows everyday in our Rasmussen Group teamwork. The Safety Department makes sure we have the knowledge and training necessary to perform our work safely. Our Recruiter, Kyle, ensures that we have adequately vetted all applicants for positions with our companies. The Training Department makes sure that all new employees are well trained for their positions. Our Benefits Department ensures that you receive your pay checks and benefits. Our Shops make sure our vehicles and trailers are in tip-top shape. And our Wellness Coordinator, Jessica, is helping our team members learn how to be healthier. Our team is over 600 members strong!

We are coming to the home stretch of our busy season. Let’s all win GOLD in our respective businesses, for safety, quality, treating people the way you want to be treated, and lending a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

On June 4th, The Rasmussen Group sponsored the Lohse Family Foundation’s 3rd Annual Law Enforcement Torch Run Plane Pull benefiting Special Olympics Iowa. The Plane Pull is a unique opportunity for individuals and organizations to raise money and support Special Olympics Iowa athletes.

Thirty-five teams gathered at Endeavor Air to pull the UPS 757 weighing 120,000 pounds and competed for the fastest pull.

The event raised nearly $100,000 for Special Olympics Iowa and the 12,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities and their unified partners who compete year-round in training and sports competitions. The Rasmussen Group had forty employees and family members participate in this year’s event, making up two teams of twenty.

The Rasmussen Group likes to stay ahead of the game when it comes to going green and is always looking at new technology to keep their business running efficiently. So it was no surprise when they decided to invest in solar modules and use renewable energy to be more eco-friendly and lower electrical expenses.

In 2015 solar modules were installed on Rev Tech’s building. These modules produce 98% of Rev Tech’s energy needs and save the company $7,500 annually. In September this year, The Rasmussen Group installed 1069 solar modules on five buildings on

the corporate office grounds. These modules are adapted to the latest solar edge technology, inverting solar energy to power The Rasmussen Group buildings more efficiently, and more economically.

These new solar modules are projected to save the company around $39,000 each year in energy costs and are expected to operate proficiently for 30 years, allowing The Rasmussen Group to use sustainable, renewable energy to reduce costs and remain green for years to come.

FIRST YAW BEARING EXCHANGE IS A SUCCESSIn August, Jensen Crane successfully completed the first yaw bearing exchange on a Vestas V82 wind turbine. Jensen Crane completed

the exchange on an Alliant wind farm near Fon Du Lac, Wisconsin. The work was done with Renew Energy as the up tower technicians, and Jensen Crane doing most of the ground work. To do this job, we had to first bring the rotor (blades) to the ground. After the rotor was down, the team had to remove the nacelle (top). The bearing is on the bottom of the nacelle so once it was down to the ground, the team put the nacelle in a stand to remove the bearing and then moved the nacelle to a different stand to install the new bearing. Once the bearing was exchanged, the team put the nacelle back on top of the turbine. The nacelle weighed 104,000 pounds. After that was back in place, the rotor was put back up. There were some nerves on this job since the team had never done this type of work before, but Jensen Crane’s Crawler Superintendent, Kyle Gruetzmacher, and his team executed it flawlessly, and 3 days ahead of schedule.

HWY 65/69 Warren County is a two-stage bridge replacement project. Cofferdams were installed underneath the 359 ft. x 44 ft. existing bridge, and footings were poured. The column construction is set to begin soon.

HWY 65/69 WARREN COUNTY

The 100th Street Project is a two-span steel girder bridge, 333 ft. x 101 ft. over I-80/35. Two-thirds of the steel has been erected. This project is technically two bridges which are directly adjacent to each other.

In the past year, the crews in Council Bluffs have built 3 box culverts and 4 bridges. The two largest bridges are on US Highway 275. One bridge crosses Interstate 29 and is 479-ft.-long. The other crosses Mosquito Creek and several railroad lines. This bridge has a total length of 1,063 ft. One of the smaller bridges is a 120-ft. bridge for the I-29 southbound on ramp from US 275. The other bridge is I-29 northbound over I-80 Eastbound. These projects will be wrapping up this Fall. Kieth Stoural, Tristan Weaver, and Kurt Pethan have led the crews in Council Bluffs this past year.

100TH STREET

PROJECT


The last few months have found many of our supervisors transitioning out of projects that are completing in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana and into new projects located throughout these three states. We have completed a number of projects over the last four months. Projects in Langley and Wagoner, Oklahoma, in Clarendon and Midway Branch, Arkansas, and in Alexandria, Louisiana have all been completed, and our supervisors and talented hourly employees have moved to our new projects, as well as beefing up our team in Fulton, Arkansas.

JD Steward, along with supervisors Rusty Davis, Eric Stoural, Max Angeles, Tyrone Sims, and Sammy Lamendola are building our largest project at this time. This project consists of two bridges. The first bridge is a 1,303-ft.-long structure across the Red River. The second is a 140-ft.-long bridge across County Road 176. This project has an extremely aggressive schedule with a penalty of $18,000 per working day.

Teddy Burley, along with a very talented and experienced crew, is completing a pedestrian bridge in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He and his men will be moving to Tulsa soon to begin work on our newest project, US 412 over the Verdigris River. This 870-ft.-long bridge project will begin in September.

Tristan Weaver moved to south to Horatio, Arkansas to manage the construction of a 1,993-ft.-long bridge across the Little River. Tristan, along with Supervisors Trace Siemens, Bill Coulter, Joe Hill, and Mark Smith started on this project in early July. We appreciate the many men (operators, carpenters, and laborers) who made the move with us to this project from the previous project(s). Your skills and dedication form a basis for our continued success.

Ronnie Scarbrough and Dale Detrick, along with supervisors Landon Bullock and Donovan Briley, lead our new project in Pocahontas, Arkansas. This project includes the construction of a 1,271-ft.-long bridge across the Black River. This project began in late June, and we hope it is as successful as the last project we had over the Black River. Again, we appreciate the employees who made the move with us to this project.

Finally, we have Troy Rice and Amos Adcock managing our project in Bayou Meto, Arkansas. This involves the construction of a 434-ft.-long bridge on a very difficult (wet and flood-prone) site. This team of employees moved from our very successful Wagoner, Oklahoma project to central Arkansas. Your dedication and willingness to move for the Company is very much appreciated.

GRIMES ASPHALT

It’s not every year that a single project comes along and equates to half of your annual workload. But this year we were fortunate enough to be awarded the Polk County HMA Resurfacing project. This project consisted of resurfacing over 28 miles of streets, stretching all around Polk County. Well over 70,000 tons of hot mix asphalt was laid; and Milling, granular shouldering, and PCC Patching were completed in concurrence. The project began right away in the spring and wrapped in mid-August.

I would like to showcase the hardworking, talented crews that worked on this project and recognize their dedication to quality and high levels of workmanship which have defined Grimes Asphalt and Paving for well over three decades. It makes me proud to lead a company with such diverse employees, each one bringing different viewpoints and viable attributes.

As we work toward the end of the asphalt season, we continue to be focused on safety, quality work, and efficiency.

Again, I would like to thank you all for your hard work and commitment to Grimes Asphalt.

-Mike Yonker

GRIMES ASPHALT COMPLETES 28 MILE RESURFACING PROJECT


As I am sitting down to write this article, summer is officially over and Fall has arrived. I thought this would be a good opportunity for a short recap of the year. First of all, it’s exciting to report that after the arrival of our last four trucks this past August, our fleet size grew by just under 8 percent. We now have 79 trucks in the operation. It is fun to be able to grow, but along with the growth comes growing pains, adding a lot of pressure throughout the entire organization. It starts with those responsible for finding, qualifying, and training additional drivers. I’d like to give a shout out to Kyle McClain, Kenny Bauman, Beverly Morrissey, Dave Webb, and all of our Driver Trainers. Also, with more trucks comes more paper work. To help offset the added work, we added a dispatch position in May and we hired two new dispatchers. Eric Armagost joined us in March, and Jaime Lundy joined us in May. It’s been a pleasure to watch them learn the task at hand. Thank you to Dave Poling and Chris Devine for getting these two new dispatchers up to speed during a very busy time of the year. I would be remiss if I didn’t also give a big thank you to Angie Hennigar and Joan Hoover for processing all of the paper work and getting invoicing sent out in a timely manner. Both have been up to the challenge and have done a wonderful job.

Secondly, I would like to follow up on my Spring article announcing a multi-year agreement with Martin Marietta. If you remember, we are transferring concrete stone from Ames to the Newton Rail Yard. As the picture shows, we are in full swing with that project, utilizing the drive-over dump that The Rasmussen Group Fabrication Shop built for us specifically for this project. It looks good, and it works great! The addition of a fourth Slinger truck has proved to be very helpful. It has allowed us to provide excellent

service our customers. Customers are starting to use Slingers for more than just backfilling basements and tiling. I expect for this business to continue to grow.

In August, we purchased four more triple-axle trucks. We now have three of these trucks set up with a different style tarp. The tarps have a flap in the middle of the box that enables us to haul powdered cement on fly ash. These products are frequently used for soil stabilization and are typically hauled in pneumatic trailers. At times, there is a shortage of that type of trailer, or the job will not accommodate that big of a truck. For example, it’s not uncommon for Grimes Asphalt to have a trail job that requires fly ash. We have already used them on an Elder Corporation job in Grimes.

To conclude, it has been an exciting year of growth in both number of units and sales. I would like to thank our whole team. The drivers we have are second to none; they continue to answer the call regardless of what our customers throw at us. We also continue to make strides with our safety program. Through July, we are trending very well with our preventable vehicle incidents. Fortunately, our injury incident count is 0. Safety is something we will always emphasize, and as long as everybody works to improve, we will. I also always like to thank all of the supporting staff at The Rasmussen Group that helps us succeed at what we do. Thank you! -Jeff Wangsness

2016 TO BE ANOTHER GOOD YEAR!

CENTRAL IOWA TRUCKING


Central Iowa Ready Mix has been a grand slam winner this year with Iowa State University (ISU) projects. Excellent customer relationships, dedicated employees, exceptional concrete, and quality equipment have allowed us to lock up the majority of ISU’s project bids in 2016. Iowa State Ready Mix has supplied 13,000 cubic yards to date, and has another 5,000 cubic yards to delivery by the year’s end.

Our upfront approach with customers, reviewing project specifications, and giving them the right product has allowed us to acquire work without always being the low bidder. Work-ability, pump-ability, place-ability, flow-ability, mold-ability, finish-ability, set-time, and strength gain allowing them to strip and move on to the next pour earlier, are all concrete characteristics we analyze to give our customers what they need.

This work has been secured through no less than 14 contractors on 21 different projects throughout this past year.

“The Good Life”…Concrete Supply west of the river continues to make strides towards being the premiere supplier of concrete in the Omaha/Council Bluffs market. The past few months have brought some changes and new faces to the team at CSI. Chris Druskis has taken the helm as dispatch manager, and we welcome the new arrival of Jennifer Roberts and Cristie Ellis as order takers in the dispatch department. As CSI grows, this will allow us to continue to provide exemplary customer service to our clients.

This past spring we were able to join forces with one of our customers, TR Construction, and give assistance to our local Eagle Scout troop as they set out to memorialize the selfless service of our armed forces and honor the veterans who have served valiantly in the protection of the liberties we enjoy here in the United States.

Although the memorial was small in stature, the impact on the veterans who were able to attend was great and greatly appreciated. The memorial is located at the St. Columbkille Athletic field near the flag pole and is dedicated to all five branches of the military. We were honored to participate and proud to do our small part in giving back to our local community.

Finally, we are looking forward to the fall push and have geared up for a strong finish. We are only as good as the people we hire and we feel we have a great crew here in Nebraska.

HALLETT MATERIALS

2016 started off unusually wet in southeast Texas. We had flood event after flood event all the way through June, and then had another round of flooding in August. After last year, we had gotten really good at operating safely in high water situations. We lost levees and a low water crossing at Porter and had our dry pit at Hockley fill completely full of water, both of which took many man hours, working in adverse conditions to repair. I am happy to report, through all of the floods, we have kept our safety record perfect! Keeping our guys safe isn’t a result of good luck or happenstance, rather a result of hard work and dedication from the men in the field truly buying in to and living out a

culture of safety here at Hallett Materials. Somehow through all of the tough conditions, we were also able to service our customers and remain on budget. We are truly blessed to have such a committed group of employees who are always willing to do whatever it takes, in any condition, to get the job done!

The Rasmussen Group

This year Dave Poling, Dispatch Manager at The Rasmussen Group’s corporate office, was nominated for the Dispatcher of the Year award presented by the Iowa Motor Truck Association. Dave was nominated by Jeff Wangsness, President of Central Iowa Trucking.

“I felt strongly Dave should be nominated for his professionalism and tireless effort in customer service,” said Jeff.

A committee of personnel from FMCSA, Iowa DOT Motor Vehicle Enforcement, Iowa Highway Patrol, and a non-carrier IMTA member review each nomination and then determine the dispatchers who will be recognized. In determining who should be considered for nomination and recognized, the committee reviews several criteria including duties, quality of work, professionalism, leadership, and years in the trucking industry.

“I ask myself what makes me a good dispatcher. I believe what has helped me succeed in dispatching is that I am not afraid to do anything. I can relate to my drivers, plant managers, and customers. I started out in the ground level as a driver for VO Concrete and had no clue what I was doing, but I learned,” said Dave.

Dave was chosen as a nominee and recognized at the 2016 Iowa Motor Truck Association Conference in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on September 21, 2016. Dave said the key to this industry is working together and “in some ways becoming a family, which means you need to be there, no matter what time.”

Dave started at The Rasmussen Group in 2011, but has been a dispatcher since 2000. Even after sixteen years, he still looks forward to coming to work every day. “I enjoy dispatching; it’s in my blood,” said Dave, “and I can honestly say, although it’s busy and stressful at times, I love my job.”

DAVE POLING NOMINATED FOR DISPATCHER OF THE YEAR

OPEN ENROLLMENT – HEALTH BENEFITS


Safety

According to the National Safety Council, one of every four accidents occurs while the vehicle is operating in reverse. Here at The Rasmussen Group, that rate is actually even higher. Keep in mind that backing accidents are 100 percent preventable, because they are always caused by human error. We can all better protect the assets and profits of the company, as well as the safety of others by educating ourselves with these safety procedures to prevent backing collisions:

• Always conduct a thorough pre-trip inspection. Check the vehicle’s brakes, horn, back-up lights, 4-way flashers, and back-up alarm (if equipped) for proper working condition. Clean windows and mirrors thoroughly to provide a clear view.

• Plan ahead and avoid backing whenever possible. Do not put yourself into unnecessary backing situations. When practical, park the vehicle so it will not have to be backed at a later time.

• Get to know the vehicle’s blind spots. Drivers need to remember that mirrors can never give the whole picture while backing.

• Adjust mirrors for maximum visibility. Mirrors are a major key to any backing maneuver. Adjust your mirrors while the vehicle is in a perfectly straight line and you are sitting in the driver’s seat in your normal, comfortable sitting position. Get help adjusting the right side mirror.

• Never back a vehicle when any mirror is covered with dirt, frost, snow, or other substances that keep you from visually clearing the path the vehicle will take.

• Park defensively. Carefully survey the parking opportunities when you arrive at the delivery site. If possible, choose an easy-exit parking space that does not crowd neighboring vehicles. Too often, drivers pull into the most convenient location in order to speed up the delivery process. Sometimes, choosing a poor parking space is a matter of necessity, but in many cases, a better defensive position is available if you take the time to look and evaluate.

• Situate your vehicle in the best possible position before starting to back up. Make the turn on the driver’s side, if possible, in order to minimize turning and allow you to see the back of the vehicle swinging into position.

• Walk around your vehicle and check and recheck your path of travel. Before any attempt is made to back, always get out to look and see what lies between you and your backing destination. Check for workers, pedestrians, soft or muddy areas, potholes, tire hazards, and equipment hazards. When backing long distances, it doesn’t hurt to stop and recheck your path of travel. Don’t forget to look up! Look for awnings, pipes, framing, wires, etc. that will be in your way. Look up, down, all around and under the truck before backing. The entire path the vehicle will take must be clear of obstacles

• Determine space limitations. Is the space wide enough? Be aware that the path may slope up or down, making it difficult to judge vehicle clearance at your destination point.

• Although the responsibility of backing safely ultimately falls on the driver, it is helpful to use a reliable, well-trained guide or spotter whenever possible to assist when backing. An extra set of eyes could make all the difference, particularly in situations where there are blind spots or when someone or something could come into your path. The driver and guide should use hand signals instead of verbal ones, and make sure you understand each other’s signals. Do not have the guide walking backwards while giving instructions. Establish eye contact with the guide before backing and keep the guide in sight at all times while backing. If you lose sight of the guide, STOP and determine where he/she is. Remind the guide to watch not only for the side and rear clearances, but also for overhead clearances and other overhangs as well.

• When you must spot for yourself without a guide, return to the vehicle quickly. Start backing within a few seconds after finishing the walk-around check. This will allow very little time for people and/or obstacles to move behind the vehicle.

• Once you are behind the wheel, with the engine running and the vehicle in reverse, check the area again by turning and visually clearing the path that the vehicle will take. Use all side mirrors to constantly check and visually clear your path.

• Back slowly and cautiously. Have complete control of your vehicle. Use the lowest possible gear or idle speed and do not accelerate.

BACKING ACCIDENT PREVENTION

“Remember that every backing situation is new and different. Driving backwards can be done safely, but caution must be the watchword!”


Wellness

As we wrap up our first year of the Work Well program, I would like to say “Thank you!” to everyone who participated. Over 200 employees and their spouses registered on the Wellness Center portal and participated in a variety of wellness-related activities this past year.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with employees and their spouses in my role as the company’s Wellness Coordinator. I am very fortunate to have been given the opportunities in life to align my passion and my career, and for that I am extremely grateful. Over the past year, I have witnessed several employees and spouses take back their lives by seizing every opportunity the wellness program offers to improve their overall well-being, and there is no greater feeling than seeing someone achieve their goals. If you didn’t participate last year, I encourage you to give the program a try. If you are like many, it won’t take you long to figure out what a great program it is!

The Work Well program is strategically designed with employees in mind, and we are lucky to have the support of The Rasmussen Group to be able to offer such a great benefit. We are ahead of the game in the construction industry when it comes to our wellness program, and for that we should be very proud. The mission of the Work Well program is to create a workplace culture that fosters healthy behaviors and provides an environment that will support employees and their families in improving their health and overall well-being. Fulfilling this mission will undoubtedly take time and patience, but with the support of the company and its employees, we will be successful.

Thank you again for a great first year!

The 2016/2017 company biometric screenings have been scheduled! They will take place at a variety of Rasmussen Group locations and are free to full-time employees and spouses.

A biometric screening is a short health exam that provides information about your risk for certain diseases and medical conditions. Knowing and understanding the results of your biometric screening is important and can help you know how to take action to improve your overall health. The screening includes body measurements and a simple finger stick to obtain a blood sample.

The following measurements are collected:

> Cholesterol

> Fasting glucose

> Triglycerides

> Blood pressure

> Waist size/circumference (abdominal fat is a predictor of or risk for obesity-related diseases)

Company Health Screenings Are Just Around the Corner!

These biometric measurements have been chosen because they are the leading indicators for diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.

Below are the dates and locations for the upcoming company health screenings:

It is important to remember NOT to eat anything for at least 12 hours prior to your screening. This will allow for more accurate screening results.


Referral Proram

The Rasmussen Group recently analyzed the hiring process for a few of their companies, and quickly realized that some of the best new hires come directly from you, our current employees. To promote and encourage current employees to send good candidates our way, we now have a company-wide referral program in place.

The process is simple. When an individual applies for one of the available positions at the company, they are asked on the application “How did you hear about this position?” Here the applicant will provide the current employee’s name and the company he/she works for. Once the new employee has been hired and has worked at the company for 90 days, the employee who gave the referral will be issued a check for $500. It is important to remind your referral to put your name down on the application – otherwise you will not receive your bonus check.

Both JMT Trucking and Central Iowa Ready Mix have done something similar for their internal employees in the past. Now, all of The Rasmussen Group companies are participating in this program, and if you refer someone to ANY company (even if they do not work for the same company you work for), and they stay on for 90 working days, you will receive a bonus check for $500.

For more information, please contact The Rasmussen Group’s Internal Recruiter Kyle McClain, at 515-266-5173 or [email protected].

COMPANY PICNIC

On September 11th, The Rasmussen Group held its annual Employee Appreciation Day picnic for employees and their families at Water Works Park in Des Moines. It was a great day filled with fun and laughter. This year’s theme was Go for the Gold, in recognition of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The picnic kicked off with an Olympic themed ceremony which included the singing of the National Anthem, the North High School Color Guard presentation of the flag, and the lighting of the torch. The competitive events, Human Foosball, Walk on Hands, Equalizer, and Human Joust, ran all day and allowed for employees to show off their athletic abilities. And, like last year, the Dunk Tank proved to be a great success as employees lined up to dunk their favorite managers, supervisors, and co-workers.
