These should be the very best of times asmembers of the New Mexico UtilityContractors Association contemplate theupcoming passage of President Biden’smammoth infrastructure legislation.The bill, currently near its final form andpromising funding for everything from roadand bridge construction to powerinfrastructure and broadband work, soundslike everything utility contractors could hopefor. But Jane Jernigan, the long-standingexecutive director of the association, sayssupport among the group for the bill issomewhat tentative.“Yes, our members are generally in favor ofthe legislation, but they are also concernedabout the overall cost of it all,” she reports.“We are business owners, too, and aresometimes worried about the way ourgovernment runs things, the national debt,that sort of thing,” Jernigan continues.The very definition of the word“infrastructure,” notes Jernigan, has in recentyears undergone a change. What used tostrictly mean the building and upgrading ofroads, highways, bridges, and waterways,now includes electric vehicles, affordablehousing and elder care, among other areas. The New York Times recently suggested thatan expanded infrastructure definition todayis designed to encompass a variety of socialand technical initiatives, rather than “old,exclusionary systems.” Jernigan has a different view: “The new thingsthat are now being called ‘infrastructure’ arevaluable and needed in all of ourcommunities,” she says. “But how many ofthese different things are really going to befully funded?”Jernigan originally signed on with the NewMexico Utility Contractors Association, whichwas founded in 1980, as a staffer, becomingthe group’s executive director some 14 yearsago.During that period of time the association’smembership, which today stands at aroundsixty-four, has fluctuated only slightly. “One ofthe things about our group is that when we geta member, we tend to keep them forever,”Jernigan says. “We usually only lose someonebecause they went out of business.”The group promotes and protects the interestof a varied industry through networking,regular membership meetings, training andeducation, and all-important legislativelobbying.“We have contractors that do road work,bridge work, and water treatment plants,”explains Jernigan. “But for the most part, weare mainly utility—‘everything from the curbdown,’ as we always say.”“We also do some broadband work, or ‘dryutilities,’” she continues. “We have wet utilitiesand dry utilities. The wet utilities are obviouslywater, sewer, and stormwater, those kinds ofthings.” 2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

“The dry utilities are the fiber optics, andelectrical,” Jernigan adds. As with other segments of the constructionindustry, the utility contractors endured apunishing pandemic year, but one that wasultimately not without its positive points.“From the start we realized that someone inthe business was going to contact Covid, itwas inevitable,” says Jernigan. “But how tocontrol the spread in our companies waswhere the real ingenuity came in.”Jernigan recalls a sudden emphasis onkeeping people separated from each otheron job sites, as well as the quick widespreaduse of face masks, hand washing stations,and sanitizers.But the ongoing quest to keep tools as cleanas possible proved particularly intensive: “Ifthey were community tools, they wouldhave to be cleaned before being put away,and then the next person would clean themagain before using them,” she says.Jernigan thinks such protocols, seemingly soCovid-19 specific, are now here to stay,whether or not the new Delta variantwreaks it’s own havoc.“Some of the protocols will stay in placeforever because they are actually goodpractices not only as far as hygiene goes, butin preventing the spread of diseases,” shenotes.The pandemic also changed how companiescommunicate within their organizations:“We saw a lot of our members doing onlinemeetings and training, and I think that issomething, too, that will continue.” “They may not do it to the degree that theyhad to during Covid, but I think its going to bepermanently incorporated into how they dobusiness,” observes Jernigan.Pandemic or not, infrastructure bill or not,Jernigan says both she and her members arefeeling bullish about the future. In fact, theyalways have, for one irrefutable reason: “Theworld will never run out of this kind ofconstruction work.”Adds Jernigan: “The need for clean water, themanagement of storm water, roads, andbridges—it’s always going to be there.”2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

It's been an arduous year, but in uncertaintycomes opportunity. AGC worked hard tohelp members evaluate the confusing glut ofinformation by providing clear, concise andtimely communication during the pandemic.Construction Reporter's 'The BuiltEnvironment' was a valuable partner inassisting AGC and many others in deliveringtargeted construction industry information. AGC New Mexico's goal is to make sure theassociation's priorities and work reflectwhat our members face directly in themarket. This year, we met and continue toface unprecedented struggles as a result ofCOVID-19. AGC New Mexico's Board ofDirectors and members helped shape theassociation's response to the crisis. Weproactively coordinated and communicatedwith state officials in an on-going dialoguedesigned to support and lead our industrythrough this crisis. We were fortunately oneof the few industries allowed to operate inNM (See AGC NM's Letter to the Governor)because we remained vigilant in workingclosely with OSHA representatives. We’ve still got challenges ahead with a lack ofskilled workforce, proliferating materialsprice increases and supply chain disruptionsthat squeeze contractors and threaten toundermine economic recovery. We aredetermined to continue to advocate for theindustry and to identify opportunities to helpyou navigate these challenges. That’s whywe’ve introduced a new program to addressthe workforce shortage. In conjunction with AGC of Americalaunching a nationwide constructionrecruitment campaign, AGC New Mexico(AGC NM) & Associated Contractors of NewMexico (ACNM) combined efforts to launchand support a 'Construction is Essential'fundraising campaign. The message"Construction Is Essential" is designed toaddress two key facts. First, we will raiseawareness that the work constructionprofessionals of all levels perform is essentialto our economic prosperity, quality of life, andsecurity from man-made and natural threats. 2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

And second, as AGC saw in most parts of thecountry during the Spring 2020 lockdowns,construction is considered an essential sectorof the economy and construction careers aremore likely to be protected from futureeconomic shutdowns. We are excited to bringattention to the fact that construction playedan essential role during the pandemicmaintaining infrastructure, expandinghealthcare facilities, and keeping oureconomy running. As part of our 'Construction is Essential'campaign, we will be offering *free jobpostings* to AGC NM Members. Contactyour local AGC chapter to learn more. Women of the Construction Industry - Wealso want to Thank the ConstructionReporter for their continued support of ourindustry; you were a generous sponsor in ourcelebration of Women in Construction WeekMarch 7-13. Women ARE a visiblecomponent of the construction industry.Creating a support network and raisingawareness of the opportunities available forwomen in the industry is vital to the growingimpact of women. In recognition of the keyrole that women play in the industry, AGCNew Mexico lobbied Governor MichelleLujan Grisham for the State of New Mexicoto issue a Proclamation for Women inConstruction Week, Mar. 7th-13th.We know that in addition to the struggles infinding qualified workers to hire, materialscosts and supply-chain issues remain topconcerns for many contractors. To helpinform project owners and governmentofficials about the threat to projectcompletion dates and contractors' financialhealth, AGC of America created the attached,newly revised, June edition of theConstruction Inflation Alert, which is also posted here: https://www.agc.org/sites/default/files/AGC%202021%20Inflation%20Report_Version5_S_0.pdf.

But you understoodthat we could accomplish far more when wework together than when we act on our own.We will build an even stronger future for ourindustry, our economy, and our nation. Basedon what we accomplished last year, all of thatand much more are within our power.AGAIN, thank you and congratulations toConstruction Reporter for all your support itallows us to stand behind our commitment toadvocate for your business goals, collaborateon industry-wide initiatives and to furthereducate our industry on best practices. 2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

This statement may seem a bitover the top, but considering deals were reduced to atrickle at the peak of the pandemic, the recent upticks inactivity are a significant, and welcome, change.Organizations that had put the brakes on any moves in2020 are now beginning to tour properties and executeleases. In many cases, companies are taking advantageof vacant offices to reimagine how their space shouldbe designed post-COVID with the goal of creating aworkplace that entices employees to return to work.This new environment often includes comfortable,collaborative areas where employees can gathertogether for brainstorming sessions and provideopportunities to become more productive than workingfrom home can offer. Ultimately, this trend will result ina vastly improved office environment that employeeswill be excited to come to every day.Improvements aren’t simply about quality, but alsoquantity. Organizations are analyzing the amount ofoffice space they will need going forward, which hasresulted in a large increase in the amount of subleasespace hitting the market. Rather than reduce theirfootprint in response to a recession, tenants havedecided to support a portion of the workforce that canpermanently work from home. However, unlike in thepast, today’s sublease terms are quite flexible and arenow marketed to long-term prospects as well as thetraditional short-term prospects...Continue reading > By John SalustriBrokers Readjust Their Thinking in a Post-PandemicMarketOffice and industrial properties present a tale of twomarkets, post-pandemic. On the one hand, the industrialsector has exploded, as providers of product continue toensure that grocery shelves remain stocked while keepingpace with the accelerated demands of e-commerce. On theother hand, the pandemic is forcing office occupiers topause and rethink their space needs, even to the point ofdownsizing to the relatively open spaces of the suburbswith renewed interest.Like market conditions themselves, the result is clear: asChicago-based David Liebman, SIOR, designated managingbroker for Merit Partners LLC says, brokers now need toget into a new head space to “understand what exactlytheir clients want, to a greater degree than ever before.”WORKING A LANDLORD'S MARKETManufacturers of virtually all products were, like the restof the world, caught off-guard by the sudden onset of thevirus, hence the suddenly empty store shelves. Theyscrambled to redefine their inventory strategies andensure product—and the space to store them—weresufficient for the demand. Simultaneously, a spike ininternet sales drove the need for distribution centers andput last-mile delivery front and center. “Companies havereally changed the way they distribute their products,”says Pete Quinn, SIOR, national industrial sales director forColliers in Indianapolis, Ind.Indeed. At the end of what his firm dubs “a record year,” heshared that occupancy gains totaled 273.1 million squarefeet, almost 19 percent higher than a year ago, andprojected that “2021 is already shaping up to be anothersteadfast year.”Continue reading > SIOR EVENT CALENDARAUGUST & SEPTEMBER 2021A NEW NORMAL MID-YEAR OFFICEUPDATE: TENANTNEEDS LEADING TO BIGCHANGESWEDNESDAY AUGUST 18TH1:00 PM - 4:00 PM - WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP & MENTORSHIP NETWORKING ROUNDTABLES - CLICK HERE TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 21ST9:00 AM - 5:00 PM - Q3 2021 BROKER BOOTCAMP - CLICK HERE

The next one is sure to come —what remains unknown is what form it will take and when. TheCOVID-19 pandemic, for instance, is a black swan event thatcould take a century of hindsight to put it into proper context bythe type and scope of its impact. While this latest disruption isunlike previous systemic volatility, like the Great Recession,commercial real estate professionals need to adapt to thechanges resulting from this most recent disruption.One such change requires that industry pros hone their abilitiesto prepare for the widespread lease renegotiations in thecoming months and years. Leases tend to be long-termcontracts in CRE, extending three, five, 10, or 20 years into thefuture. In that time, businesses will change, and the economywill have its ups and downs. When a tenant and landlord sign alease, there is typically an anticipation that the market and useof the space will continue uninterrupted throughout the term ofthe agreement. While early termination clauses are notuncommon in the office sector, the cancellation fees can behefty.In the wake of the pandemic, tenants and landlords/owners arerenegotiating and modifying leases every day. Pinterest, as anexample, recently cancelled a lease for 490,000 sf of officespace in San Francisco that included total rent payments of$440 million.SURVIVING VOLATILITYThe cost to walk away from that deal was anastonishing $89.5 million. Why would a lessee paythat much to buy its way out of a deal? Risk.Risk also explains why significant amounts ofsubleased office space has been hitting the market.Some tenants, seeing the volatility of 2020 and thenear future, hope to minimize costs and recoupsome revenue from their decreased need for realestate.The commercial real estate market remainsvolatile, even if we all hope the worst of COVID-19is behind us. Considering such uncertainty, plentyof tenants and landlord/owners will be faced withthe prospect of subleases and buyouts in thecoming months and years. Here’s a quick rundownof many of the considerations that go into leasemodifications.SEEKING A SUBLEASEAt its most basic, a sublease is an exit strategy forthe tenant. By signing an agreement for anotheruser to take their place in the premises, the originaltenant becomes the primary tenant, and the newrenter is the subtenant. The subtenant occupies thespace and pays all or a portion of the rent owedunder the original lease agreement, but the primarytenant is still on the hook financially and legally,with all rights flowing through the primary tenant.Continue reading > THURSDAY AUGUST 5TH2021 CARNM ANNUAL CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT - CLICK HERE THURSDAY AUGUST 12TH8:00 AM - 12:00 PM - 2021 NMREC CORE COURSE – IN-PERSON - CLICK HERE THURSDAY AUGUST 12TH8:30 AM - 9:30 AM - CCIM NEW MEXICO BOARD MEETING - CLICK HERE

This robust activity is expected to continuethroughout what could potentially be a record-breaking year.While all 11 Global Industry Classification Standard sectors are inpositive territory for the year, real estate ranks second highestwith a strong 27% performance, just slightly below energy.With the U.S. economy posting robust growth rates andexpectations of a return to pre-COVID normalcy in many areas,investors are readjusting their views on various REIT sectors.Property sectors that felt the deepest impacts in 2020 – office,retail and hotel, or “out-of-favor” sectors – are increasinglyeyed by commercial real estate investors, who are betting on astrong rebound. Conversely, tech-driven and industrial REITs –or “in-favor” sectors – that benefited from the country’sincreased reliance on e-commerce in 2020, haveunderperformed so far this year but are still in positive territory. From February 2020 until the announcement of the efficacy ofCOVID-19 vaccines in November 2020, tech and industrial REITsoutperformed office, retail and hotel sectors by 24%.

U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, D-NM,delivered for Taos County and secured$1.26 million for the renovation of theHistoric Taos County Courthouse, part ofan overall $74 million she brought in forcommunity projects across the district."The Board of County Commissioners ofTaos County is excited and honored atreaching this step in the appropriationsprocess," said Taos County CommissionChair Candyce O'Donnell. "We're sograteful to Congresswoman LegerFernández for championing this meaningfulproject, which connects our Northern NewMexico community with our identity andour history."The courthouse renovation is one of nineprojects to receive federal funding in FY2022 under the newly created CommunityProject Funding (CPF) program inCongress. The money passed theAppropriations Committee, but still needsto pass in Congress before heading toPresident Biden's desk for signing.The funds would go towards stabilizing thebuilding, providing ADA-compliant access(including an elevator), installing energyefficient equipment and upgrading publicrestrooms. The plan also includes thepreservation of historic murals paintedduring the Great Depression as part of theWorks Progress Administration (WPA).Leger Fernández toured the iconic buildingJune 2, and met with Taos Mayor DanielBarrone, Taos County Commissioners andTaos County Construction Manager RichardSanchez to discuss the project.The Historic Taos County Courthouse, builtin 1932 on the Taos Plaza, served as a civicand symbolic center of the community fordecades. It was vacated by the countygovernment in 1970, and fell into disrepair.Phased renovationThe Courthouse rehabilitation will occur overseveral phases. Phase 1 has an estimatedbudget of $1.5 million, to come from aCommunity Development Block Grant andthe General Fund.The work was put out to bid in the spring, butaccording to O'Donnell, no contractors gottheir bids in on time, and the county is re-bidding the work.Phase 1 includes demolition of the west infill,a new sewer line and storm sewer, a two-story elevator, an interior and exterior ADA-compliant ramp to the northside alley, and anew second-story staircase on the west sideof the building.A rough-in sprinkler system, a rough-in firealarm system, new electrical service andtransformer, and courtyard grading andsidewalks are also included in Phase 1.CONSTRUCTION: NEW MEXICO2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

It was the onlyNative-owned shop on the plaza.A coalition has recently formed within thecommunity to discuss "gentrification andits impact on the Taos and Santa Fe Plazas."The group has organized a panel discussionincluding Ruthann McCarthy, MargaritaGarcia and Alicia Guzman.

An environmental impact statement hasbeen released looking at the possibleconstruction of a new highway that wouldconnect Nogales, Arizona to the Nevadaborder.The project has been long in the talking andplanning stage and is regarded as part of asignificantly larger trade route that wouldrun from Mexico up into Canada.As proposed, a new Interstate 11 route,while breaking off from Interstate 10 in thebusy west Phoenix area, would primarily bebuilt on mostly vacant desert land andwould provide access to the Ryan Airfield,located 14 miles to the southwest ofdowntown Tucson.Generally, the new highway would followArizona State Route 189 and Interstate 19from Nogales to Tucson, and run parallel withInterstate 10 from Tucson to Phoenix, and USRoute 93 from Wickenburg to the Nevadastate line.The Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement,published by the Arizona Department ofTransportation, reports that those vacantareas have “no direct impacts to residentialor community facility lands.”Like many big highway projects, the newInterstate 11 has been touted for years,dating at least to the mid-1990s.Because the Fixing America’s SurfaceTransportation Act in 2015 identified theproposed Interstate 11 as a “high-priority”project, that means it could be eligible forfuture federal funding.A final version of the environmental study isexpected to be completed by the end of thisyear, while public comment on the documentis being accepted until August 15.CONSTRUCTION: SOUTHWEST2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

Plans are now underway for the building of a15,000 square-foot station that will belong tothe Phoenix Fire Department.Station Number 62 is slated to go up on a 3.5-acre site owned by the city to the rear of thePecan Promenade Shopping Center at thecorner of S. 99th Avenue and W. Lower BuckeyeRoad.As planned, the square-shaped structure willhouse some 16 dorms, along with a kitchen, dayroom, and dining and exercise space, amongother features.The project will additionally see theconstruction of four apparatus bays, andoutdoor landscaping, security lighting, andirrigation space work.According to city records, the architecturaldesign of the new station, along with thelandscaping, will be done in such a way as to“match and blend with the surroundingcommunity.”It is expected that the design and constructionof the new station will cost around $6.2 million.The Phoenix Fire Department has beengradually trying to build new stations orupgrade outdated existing stations, some ofwhich are more than 40 years old.Fire Department officials say the new stationwork is not only in response to annual facilitymaintenance and restoration expenses near the$4 million mark, but also the city’s nearly 20%increase in population during the last decade. Years in the planning stage, the El PasoZoo is on the verge of at last building amodern and comfortable penguinhousing and exhibition space.The project will include the building ofchilled fresh water systems for theexhibition’s main pool, as well as aquarantine pool and holding pool.Additional construction will center onthe building of acrylic viewing panelsand a rocking beach that will feature anunderwater swim-through area, alongwith nesting boxes.A life support building will house afiltration and ozone system, not tomention a chiller for the exhibition’swater.Two years ago, zoo officials announcedan effort to build a permanent $3.7million home for a dozen or soMegellanic penguins from SouthAmerica.The penguins are part of a substantiallylarger population that has beenadversely impacted by climate changeand reduced natural habitat foodsupplies.A request for proposals for the project,published by the City of El Paso, has asubmission deadline of August 18.CONSTRUCTION: SOUTHWEST2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - U.S.construction spending rose by 0.1% in June,the Commerce Department said onMonday, as an increase in private projectswas offset by a fall in public sector building.Construction spending, which accounts forless than 4% of U.S. gross domesticproduct, increased by 8.2% on a year-on-year basis in June after falling 0.2% in May,data showed.Economists polled by Reuters had forecastconstruction spending rising by 0.4% inJune.Spending on private construction projectsclimbed 0.4%, with outlays on residentialprojects increasing 1.1%. Single-familyhomebuilding spending surged 1.8%, afteroutlays on residential projects rose 0.3% inMay.The government reported last week thatresidential spending contracted in thesecond quarter, weighed down by lowerbroker commissions and other ownershiptransfer costs because of a decline in homesales.Although demand for housing remainsrobust, a rise in the cost of building materials,especially framing lumber, are constrainingbuilders' ability to ramp up construction andclose an inventory gap, driving up homeprices and crimping sales.Investment in private non-residentialconstruction like gas and oil well drilling fell0.7% in June. Business spending on non-residential structures fell in the secondquarter led by declines in commercial andhealthcare structures. Private constructionoutlays was unchanged in May.Spending on public construction projectsdropped 1.2% in June, after declining 0.8% inMay.CONSTRUCTION: NATIONAL2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

The supply chain challenge, coupled with anongoing worker shortage, is now beingseen as the primary reasons why theeconomy, despite earlier forecasts, did notgrow by an even more robust 8.5%.According to Forbes magazine, thesemiconductor chip crisis currently shows“no signs of ending any time soon and willcontinues to impact the supply chains formany industries.”Curtis Dubay, a senior economist with theChamber, is suggesting that policymakerscould go a long way in resolving the supplychallenge by doing what they can to helplarge West Coast ports, which in recentmonths have been subject to shipmentback-ups, expand their capacity.Dubay is also urging the BidenAdministration to lift tariffs on steel andaluminum imports from Europe, Japan, andKorea.Despite the supply chain challenges, theChamber’s Economic Policy Division isforecasting an economic growth rate of7.6% for the third quarter of this year.CONSTRUCTION: NATIONAL2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

Here are three primary ways 2021 hastested the construction industry and whatyou can do about it.Take a moment to remember where youwere in March of 2020 when the pandemictook hold in the U.S. I vividly rememberarriving at CONEXPO in Las Vegas, wellaware of COVID-19, but not yetrecognizing the magnitude of its impact.Just days later, I left CONEXPO with a verydifferent feeling and outlook for the weeks,months and year ahead.Although we are only halfway through theyear, I think it is safe to say that 2021 willbe remembered as another unique year.Perhaps not as profound as the pandemic,this year is already one marked bychallenges even industry veterans havenever seen, myself included.While tough times make it easy to lookthrough the lens of pessimism, remember this– with challenge comes opportunity. Here arethree primary ways 2021 has tested theconstruction industry and what we can doabout it. 1. New Equipment AvailabilityThere is perhaps no hotter topic right nowthan new equipment availability – actually,the lack thereof. The combination of supplychain disruptions, labor challenges, high steelprices, electronic component shortages, highdemand and a slow rebound from 2020 areall contributing to it being extremely tough toget new machines.Gone are the days when you could go to anequipment dealership and buy a machine offthe lot. Inventory is low while wait times areat historic highs. According to this articleshared in June, lead times are the highestthey have been in nearly 35 years.The Opportunity:This current equipment availability scenariocertainly is a problem, but it is a greatopportunity for companies to strengthenrelationships with equipment dealerpartners.The Action:Look down the road and decide whatmachines must be added to your fleetResearch various options in case the firstchoice is not a possibilityHave discussions with trusted salespeopleOpen the lines of communication to givethem the green light to makerecommendations earlyCONSTRUCTION: TRENDS2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

Used Equipment AvailabilityNot surprisingly given the market demand,the availability challenges have trickleddown into the used equipment market, too.When it comes to dealer used equipmentfleets, RDO and other dealers I havespoken to are light on used machines forsale. Auctions are also seeing low numbersof machines.All signs are pointing to it being another hotyear for used equipment, a trend that isalready on pace, according to Ritchie Bros.Asset Solutions’ Market Trends Report forJuly. Looking at calendar Q2 2021, RitchieBros. is showing prices for largeearthmoving equipment up 8% year overyear in the U.S., with medium earthmovingequipment up 25%.The Opportunity:While this is a challenge for buyers in themarket for pre-owned machines, theopportunity here really is for sellers. Forthose looking to move used machines, it is aseller’s market.The Action:To ensure you get the maximum value fromused machines, read my article from Aprilthat shares several tips and best practiceswhen selling used equipment. The key tip is to find out what equipment isworth and there are a few ways to do that:3. Labor AvailabilityThe labor shortage is very real and, if you canbelieve it, there are even more challengescompanies are now facing when looking tohire and retain talent.Several industries are now finding itextremely difficult to hire and retain talent;hospitality and service are two in particular.This is further pressing on constructioncompanies and equipment dealers. We are nolonger just competing against the perceptionsof the industry; companies are nowcompeting against employers across multipleindustries that are more aggressively thanever trying to hire from the same pool.The Opportunity:Our industry continues to work toward asolution to this challenge. The AssociatedEquipment Distributors (AED) is one of thelarger dealer organizations with an activefocus on workforce development. Mycolleague, Marshall Anderson, who hasworked in the industry with RDO for 20years, is an AED board member andpassionate about this topic. I asked him forhis thoughts on the biggest opportunity toattract and retain workers. Withouthesitation, Marshall said, “Tell our story.”That is a statement I agree with 100%. We asa united team in the construction industryhave an opportunity to showcase theindustry and appeal to jobseekers in newways. One of the “benefits” to us that cameout of the pandemic was construction beingclassified as an essential business. Thelayoffs, furloughs and other tough realitiesother industries faced did not hit the industryas hard. In fact, many companies foundthemselves busier than ever and workerssecure in their jobs.CONSTRUCTION: TRENDS2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

Want to manage ateam? You can do that. No interest inworking in an office? No problem," hestated. "Getting into the industry opens somany doors and opportunities for differentcareers. Dealers, contractors, everyoneallied to this industry needs to make surejobseekers know all that."The Action:While hiring new people is always the firstthought when we talk about the laborshortage, it is equally important to keepgreat team members.

Do your partto tell the story of the good pay, jobsecurity and wide variety of careers thatcome with this industry.Know what equipment you need andwhat your options are if the first choiceisn’t availableKnow what your equipment is worthKnow what people are worth3 Takeaways for 2021There are three key things to know in 2021and to take away as we start looking at 2022:Keep these three areas top of mind and beproactive to overcome the unexpectedchallenges 2021 threw our way.CONSTRUCTION: TRENDS2021 Construction Reporter, LLC, All Rights Reserved.

The last time the return on investmentdropped during the second quarter of anyyear was 2008, according to ATTOM.Meanwhile, the national median homeprice hit another record in the secondquarter of 2021, reaching $305,000, up11% from the first quarter of 2021 and up22% from the $250,000 it reached duringthe second quarter of 2020, according toATTOM. HOME PRICES KEEPSETTING RECORDS, BUTPROFIT MARGINS ARESLIPPINGBy Andy Medici, Albuquerque Business First08/03/2021The drop in ROI came because, despite highhome sale prices, the gains were smallerbecause recent sellers have paid significantlymore to purchase their homes in the firstplace. “Prices and profits from the second quarterpainted yet another picture of a housingmarket in high gear – except for one thing.Profit margins dropped in the second quarter,which is very unusual for any springtimeperiod because that’s when the housingmarket is usually hottest or close to it,” saidTodd Teta, chief product officer at ATTOM, ina press release accompanying the data.“While it may just be a momentary thing intoday’s volatile market, it’s definitelysomething to keep an eye on in case it’s a signthat the market is finally cooling or giving into some of the economic forces connected tothe virus pandemic.”Homeowners selling their homes in thesecond quarter of 2021 owned their homesfor an average of 6.3 years, down from 7.21years in the first quarter of 2021 and downfrom 7.6 years in the second quarter of 2020.That 6.3 year tenure is the shortest timebetween purchases and resale since the firstquarter of 2013, according to ATTOM.Profit margins year over year jumped themost in Boise City, Idaho, which saw anincrease from 59.6% in the second quarter of2020 to 1245.3% in the second quarter of2021. Charlottesville, Va., also saw a big jumpin profit margins, from 20.2% in the secondquarter of 2020 to 83.6% in the secondquarter of 2021.89VOULME 02 | ISSUE 03

LasVegas also fell from 45.8% to 30.5% andKansas City, Missouri, fell from 41.4% to26.5%.But the quarter-by-quarter drop in profitmargins — even if they remain high —could be another indicator that thehousing market may be hitting a turningpoint, according to various metrics. Whilethe median price for actively listed housesjumped 12.7% in June 2021 over the sametime in 2020, to $385,000, there is alsodata showing that more homes have soldand inventory has increased.Meanwhile, Covid-19 has changed howhomes are marketed and listed. In 2019,the most popular home features andamenities in home listings were granitecountertops, hardwood floors andstainless steel appliances. But now, after18 months of a global pandemic, the topamenities listed in homes for sale weregarages, walk-in closets and fullbathrooms, reflecting the changing desiresof potential buyers.Those findings came fromPoint2homes.com, a Yardi Matrixcompany, which analyzed 43 million wordsfrom across all listings in the United Statesthat were active in April 2021 and rankedthe keywords according to the number oftimes they appeared in home descriptions. People in New Mexico who have fallenbehind on their rent and are fearful of beingevicted during the coronavirus pandemic willbe able to stay in their homes so long as localand state moratoriums remain in effect, evenas a federal eviction moratorium is set toexpire this weekend, housing officials andadvocates said Wednesday.Daniel Moreno, a member of theChainbreaker Collective, a Santa Fe-basedhousing justice organization, lost his jobduring the pandemic and relies on the statemoratorium to remain housed.“We’re struggling. What is going to happenwhen the moratorium ends?” Moreno said.“Are we going to be evicted, kicked out of ourhomes? These are questions that have usstruggling in our lives.”90VOULME 02 | ISSUE 03Copyright: Brown Beattie O'Donovan LLPSTATE, LOCAL RULES INNEW MEXICO TO KEEPSTRESSED RENTERS INHOMESBy Sam Gilbert, Santa Fe New Mexican07/28/2021

Almost half ofall renters in the city are considered “rent-burdened,” with at least 30 percent of theirincome going toward housing, according to areport Chainbreaker presented to the CityCouncil in February.The pandemic, which eroded income formany, has exacerbated the vulnerabilities ofrent-burdened tenants. According to theChainbreaker report, some 5,700 peoplecould be evicted once Santa Fe’s moratoriumends.Brie Sillery, communications strategist forthe New Mexico Coalition to EndHomelessness, said this issue affects thestate.“[Sixty thousand] to 80,000 households arefacing eviction without the moratoria,” Sillerysaid.91VOULME 02 | ISSUE 03

And that, followed by billionaireJeff Bezos' July 20 launch into space fromWest Texas, is firing up global anticipationfor a new 21st Century era of spacetourism.Virgin Galactic plans two more flights thisyear. The next one, possibly later thissummer, will include the company'sformer CEO, George Whitesides.After that, the company will launch its firsttruly commercial flight in the fall to carry afour-member passenger crew from theItalian Air Force to space for experimentsin microgravity and future astronauttraining. And then, following a four-monthhiatus for spaceship maintenance andupgrades, Virgin Galactic will finally openthe gates to regular tourist flights in early2022, ferrying paying passengers on joyrides into suborbit from southern NewMexico.NEW MEXICO SPACEINDUSTRY EXPERIENCESPOST-BRANSON BOOMBy Kevin Robinson-Avila, GT Government Tech08/02/2021But while most public attention is riveted onVirgin Galactic and Spaceport America, a lotmore space development is also gainingmomentum in New Mexico, particularly inAlbuquerque, where government entities andbusiness organizations are partnering to buildout state-of-the-art facilities and programsthat could turn the city into a bustling centerof production for new space technologies.That includes plans by one large investor tocreate a massive complex to design andmanufacture satellites near the AlbuquerqueInternational Sunport, plusanother business-led effort to develop aseparate, mixed-use complex on Kirtland AirForce Base that will house many space-relatedcompanies starting next year.Thunderbird Kirtland Development LLC —which is spearheading the planned MaxQproject on the base — expects to break groundthis month on the first two buildings at the sitefor two different companies. That includes thespace-focused national engineering firmBlueHalo, which plans to invest $60 million ina 200,000-square-foot facility to design andmanufacture new space technology.BlueHalo announced its investment on July 20in a press conference with local, state andfederal officials, who hailed the progressunderway in building New Mexico'scommercial space industry.Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said the state isreaching the tipping point in industrydevelopment, elevating New Mexico into aleadership position.105VOULME 02 | ISSUE 03

Reproduction & Forwarding is Prohibited."For the first time for as long as I canremember, we're beating out otherstates," Lujan Grisham told the Journal."We have the right talent and vision inplace to do it. I believe we're alreadybeyond the tipping point."Albuquerque and New Mexico are "risingup" and the country is "taking notice,"added Mayor Tim Keller."We're committed to being the home forspace technology," Keller said at theBlueHalo event. "We are winning this race,and Albuquerque will be known for it fordecades to come."Pushing momentumMany factors are propelling local industrymomentum. Chief among them are U.S.Department of Defense efforts tomodernize military capabilities in space,plus the DOD's reliance on private sectoringenuity and agility to design and developthe new innovative technologies it needs.Albuquerque is front and center in thoseefforts, because many of the militaryentities directly involved in space defenseare located at Kirtland. That includes theSpace & Missiles Center, the Space RapidCapabilities Office, and the Air ForceResearch Laboratory's Space VehiclesDirectorate.That's led to a steady flow of contracts forlocal companies, and for national firmswith facilities here. Just since last fall,BlueHalo has won six different AFRLcontracts worth a total of $136 million todevelop things like modern spacecommunications and sensing systems toimprove autonomous spacecraft controlsand enhance intelligence, surveillance andreconnaissance capabilities.The DOD needs a broad range of products andservices, generating opportunities forcompanies with many different areas ofspecialization. That includes manufacturingsystems and components, plus operationalmanagement services for spacecraft,satellites, launch operations, ground control,and software development. It also includesfirms that can harvest reams of newly-generated data from space for informationprocessing and analysis.To help tap into those opportunities, Kirtlandentities are working in partnership with localgovernment and industry organizations tobuild connections between businesses andDOD agencies. NewSpace New Mexico, anindustry association that launched inAlbuquerque in 2018, has spearheaded a lotof those activities, largely in cooperation withthe AFRL.NewSpace will receive $11 million in federalfunding over the next five years to acceleratethose efforts, allowing it to build two newinnovation hubs where companies canconnect and network with the AFRL and othergovernment agencies to launch and growbusiness operations here.The association inaugurated a new, 8,700-square-foot facility on July 8 near the Sunportcalled the "Unite and Ignite Space" innovationhub that will provide resources, co-workingareas, meeting spaces and networking eventsto facilitate connections and collaboration. Itopened the center in partnership with theAFRL.It also plans to open another 15,000-square-foot space at the forthcoming MaxQdevelopment site where similar services willbe offered, including secure management forcompanies to work on classified projectsthere, said NewSpace founder and CEO CaseyAnglada DeRaad.106VOULME 02 | ISSUE 03

"It allows us to really bringeveryone together in a cohesive,collaborative ecosystem."'Getting really excited'Like others, DeRaad said the momentumnow underway represents an inflection, ortipping point."We've been in cheerleader mode for thelast couple of years, but now people aregetting really excited," DeRaad said. "Wehave a real opportunity to become a leaderin the space industry."New Mexico has long been home to spaceinnovation and development, said AFRLTechnology Outreach Lead Matt Fetrow."But we're now seeing an acceleration ofthat innovation with new programs andcompanies based in New Mexico," Fetrowtold the Journal. "That brings nationalrecognition for New Mexico as a key placefor the industry — and that's new."The MaxQ development site and thesatellite-manufacturing complex that theWashington, D.C.-based Theia Groupwants to build next to the Sunport areparticularly significant achievements,Fetrow added.MaxQ could potentially concentrate dozens ofhigh-tech companies together on about 70acres of space on the north side of Kirtland.The complex will be built in phases, eventuallyencompassing more than 2 million square feetof office, laboratory, retail and manufacturingfacilities that stretch from Carlisle to Trumanon the south side of Gibson.The satellite-manufacturing complex,meanwhile, would be located on an 114.5-acreparcel of land just west of MaxQ. That project,dubbed the Orion Center, would include a 4.1million square-foot factory plus otherfacilities. It would employ 1,000 people tostart, potentially expanding to 2,500 later,according to the Theia Group."That would be a game changer," Fetrow said.The Orion investors have already leased a72,000-square-foot building in the SandiaScience and Technology Park. And in June, theTheia Group paid the city $1 million to leasethe land targeted for the Orion Center, saidAlbuquerque City Councilor Pat Davis, whorepresents the area."They already made their first rent payment,and they're now doing a road show to raisemore capital for the project," Davis told theJournal.Given all the developments underway, NewMexico is gaining national "validation" for itsefforts to build a bustling commercial spaceindustry here, Davis added."It feels like where the film industry was 10years ago," Davis said. "We planted theoriginal seeds with incentives and resourcesto build that industry 20 years ago, but it tooka decade to come into its own, and thenanother decade to become a national leader.The space industry is following in that samepath."107VOULME 02 | ISSUE 03

The idea was that the vehicles wouldthen be engaged on a commercial basiswhenever Nasa needed astronauts sent up tothe ISS.But while SpaceX is now two crewedoperational flights into this privatised era,Boeing has yet to run a single crewed missionin a Starliner. And that's because Boeing's firstunpiloted "Orbital Flight Test" in December2019 went seriously awry.The problems started with a clock error on thecapsule just after launch that made the vehiclethink it was in a different flight phase than wasreally the case.This prompted the onboard computer systemto over-fire Starliner's thrusters and burn somuch fuel it became impossible to reach theintended destination of a docking with thespace station. Controllers on the ground couldsee the problem playing out but had difficultycommunicating with the spacecraft.108VOULME 02 | ISSUE 03The Starliner stands ready atop its United Launch Alliance Atlas rocket

We want this next flight to be as cleanas it could possibly be," he told reporters."We have thoroughly dug into, tested andverified hundreds of times the softwarecode, to ensure that it performs exactlythe way we intend on OFT-2."The re-run will follow the same profile: anuncrewed mission to the ISS. That said, ananthropomorphic test device, morecommonly known as a flight dummy,dubbed "Rosie the Rocketeer", will onceagain strap in for the ride.Rosie and "her" capsule will stay attachedto the station for five days, beforedeparting for a parachute-assisteddescent and landing at White SandsMissile Range in New Mexico.If Boeing can put the flaws of OFT-1 behind it,Nasa could clear Starliner to start carryingpeople before the end of the year.This would finally give the agency the two newcrew-transportation systems it sought whenthe shuttles were retired to museums exactly10 years ago."This is a huge component to returning thislaunch capability from the United States andhaving redundancy between SpaceX andBoeing, so that we're not reliant on just onecompany to get astronauts to theInternational Space Station," said NicoleMann, a Nasa astronaut who has beenselected to fly on the first crewed Starlinermission.And this capability would also open up spaceto wider participation, she believed: "You'regoing to see more folks in low-Earth orbit whoare not Nasa astronauts. That's great. I thinkfor the younger generation, they're going tosee scientists, engineers and maybejournalists in space, and they're going to beable to capture the amazement of space andshare the experience."109VOULME 02 | ISSUE 03The only "individual" aboard will be "Rosie the Rocketeer"

The space industryanticipates more advances in the next decades than we haveseen since the launch of Sputnik in 1957.The space industry is becoming less sci-fi and moremainstream thanks to a new shift toward direct-to-consumer services. Things like video calls, inflight WiFi,navigation, driverless navigation and weather monitoringwere initially conceived as space technologies, and are nowused every day down on Earth. Additionally, large internet-providing fleets of commercial satellites are being deployed,bringing the space economy into the lives of half the planeton a near constant basis, aiding a multitude of applications,such as monitoring water quality and geological change.Before this growth in private space investment, spacerevenues were primarily from government and telecomindustries.

The state's Department of Public Safety sayschanges need to happen in order to keeproads safe when cannabis sales begin. "Obviously the cannabis legalization is a bigchange, so a lot of things have to beimplemented as part of that," said TroyWeisler, acting deputy secretary for the stateDepartment of Public Safety."There are just a few things still up in the airthat we are still kind of finalizing,” Weislersaid. “DWI is a very large concern foreveryone here in New Mexico."They said there will be more impaired driverson the road but unlike alcohol, where theycan take a breathalyzer test to figure out ifsomeone is driving drunk, there is no setparameters for cannabis. The departmentwants to hire experts on the matter. “That extra training and their testimony iscritical in these kinds of cases since wedon't have a set limit like with alcohol,"Weisler said.

The state’s Regulation and LicensingDepartment is still in the process of finalizingrules and regulations for cultivation licensesand is expected to impose further rules fortesting standards, retail sales andconsumption areas. But that hasn’t stoppedsome from preliminarily looking forwarehouses or land to grow cannabis. Otherslooking to get into the cannabis industry havebegun consulting businesses. Growing Forward, the collaborative podcastbetween New Mexico PBS and NM PoliticalReport that looks at cannabis in New Mexico,spoke with several people hoping to get intothe new industry earlier, rather than later.The day after the state’s Cannabis RegulationAct became official, P2M, a cannabis businessconsulting firm, hosted a legalizationconference in Albuquerque. The company is made up of Albuquerque CityCouncilor Pat Davis, Matt Kennicott, whopreviously worked for former Gov. Susana Martinez and Patricia Mattioli, whohas worked as a consultant for medicalcannabis companies. Mattioli said there are numerous otherparts of the cannabis industry that often gooverlooked and that don’t need extracertification from RLD’s Cannabis ControlDivision. “You’ve got accountants, you’ve gotinsurance, you’ve got training,” Mattiolisaid. “So, the job creation that’ll go on forthe next 10 years is huge. We’re looking atpossibly 11,000 jobs a year in this industry,in the state of New Mexico.”Meanwhile, RLD and its Cannabis ControlDivision are working through a tightdeadline to impose rules and regulationsbefore retail sales start next year. RLDSuperintendent Linda Trujillo said becausethe department’s deadlines for setting upthe new non-medical program are writteninto law, regulators have to prioritize eachpiece of the rollout. “What we are doing and what we’re tryingto do, is to be realistic and to prioritize thethings that are the most important, focusall of our attention on those, [00:20:54.72]get as much input as we can from thosewho are already in the business and try toroll that into the rules that we have toadopt,” Trujillo said.117VOULME 02 | ISSUE 03

Since August of 2020, U.S.steel prices increased by 160 percent.SCRAP METAL MARKETREMAINS STRONGBy Maura Keller, American RecyclerAugust 2021“In order to meet this demand, theimportation of steel and aluminum isbecoming more common as the production ofthese materials in the U.S., is just starting topick up,” Hopkins said.The tariffs on steel and aluminum are alsoharming many businesses as they are not ableto remain profitable with the increased taxeson these materials. This effect can also be feltin the automotive industry. Electric cars arebecoming more and more popular, but manyare unaware that these vehicles take sixtimes the number of minerals to producethan their combustion engine counterparts.“Metals, such as lithium and cobalt, areneeded to produce these massive batteriesthat EVs depend on. This trend has causedmassive spikes in many metals, most notablylithium and molybdenum, with a 91.4 percentand a 114.89 percent spike respectively,since the beginning of 2021,” Hopkins said.Bruce Slosse, president and chief executiveofficer of Vendavo, a global priceoptimization and management solutionsprovider, said during lockdowns, workerswere often told to stay home, typicallymeaning both primary production anddismantlers struggled to keep up withproduction numbers.“For those that could produce at their usualrate, with reduced demand from theircustomers, they had to cut production wheninventory levels ballooned,” Slosse said. “Thisis in addition to any issues that were causedby logistics and transportation curtailmentscaused by the pandemic.”

And again, transportationconstraints remain as supply chainsrebuild.So how is this impacting the scrap metalmarket? Mike Petruski is a managingdirector with B. Riley Advisory Services.Petruski leads the firm’s Metals & MiningAdvisory Services vertical in thevaluations of ferrous and nonferrousmetal inventories, fabricated metalsproducts, and machinery and equipmentassets. With more than 30 years ofindustry specialization, Petruski has deepknowledge of international metals marketpricing trends and works closely withasset-based lenders, investors, and privateequity groups on complex, syndicated ABLcredit facilities and the valuationsnecessary to expedite such transactions.According to Petruski, in the short-term,prices for scrap should remain strongduring 2021 with obsolete ferrous pricesstrengthening as mills use up primesources. Additionally, due to some scarcityin prime from the manufacturing plantshutdowns earlier in 2020, obsolete scraphas seen increased usage in mills andshould remain that way as long as thedemand is strong downstream.The metals market status may also mean awidening of discounts from primeLME/COMEX pricing for nonferrousmaterials. “The runaway pricing fornonferrous that we’ve seen this year,especially in aluminum, when you add inthe Midwest transaction premium, almostcertainly means the discounts for scrapwill be higher than usual,” Petruski said.Pandemic impacts aside, there are otherissues at play, affecting the scrap metalmarket. One issue is quite simple – cars areon the road longer, meaning less feedstockfor shred.“Also, the continued electric arc furnace(EAF) expansion means more scrap demandin the near future and the decarbonization ofmills – less integrated mills in the futuremeans more consumption of scrap for EAFs,”Petruski said. “Additionally, China has re-entered the world market and is nowimporting ferrous scrap and loosenedrestrictions around importing nonferrousscrap so the export market continues to be adraw for material.”While there is a shortage of metals in theshort term, Petruski said it should balanceout heading into the future. Steel demand forautomotive, including over-the-road trucksand trailers, RVs, appliances andinfrastructure construction is expected to bestrong domestically through 2021.“That, paired with high demand of exportscrap from Turkey and India for heavymelting steel (HMS) and shredded scrap, hascaused a scarcity of supply in the market. Allthe manufacturing industries are playingcatch up on supply. When demand returns,then we will see supply balance,” Petruskisaid. However, future shortages could comeinto play with added electric arc furnacecapacity. The mini-mills like Nucor and SteelDynamics operate EAFs that primarilyconsume ferrous steel scrap unlike theintegrated mills with blast furnaces thatrequire coke, limestone and ferrous scrap (orDRI or HBI).

Increased demandin these materials is pushing businesses toimport finished goods created from steelor aluminum rather than manufacturingthem in the U.S. to avoid the tariffs,”Hopkins said.For the scrap metal market, the future isvery bright overall. As Hopkins pointedout, with recent trends in green energy,consumer shifts towards products made ofrecycled materials, and the rising prices ofnon-recycled ferrous and nonferrousmetals, manufacturers will start turningtowards recyclable scrap material to meettheir productivity demand.This is especially true for electric vehiclemanufacturers who are purchasingmassive amounts of very expensivematerials,” Hopkins said. “We’re seeing theS&P GSCI Industrial Metals index rise by17.5 percent year-to-date, indicating thatthere is serious and sustainable growth inthe metals industry, and in turn, the scrapmetal and recycling industry.”Slosse added that the long-termimplications are inherently tied toincreasing demand for steel and copperespecially if the current infrastructure billbecomes law, as well as other metalsessential to the electric vehicle boom.“Primary metal production capacity willcontinue to increase, but due to these assetsbeing capital intensive, investment will tendtowards reducing risk – a bit slower thandemand to ensure full asset utilization tomeet return on investment and paybacktargets,” Slosse said. For recyclers, this alsomeans the scrap metal markets will be in agood condition for strong prices, but they willneed to have business agility to pivot forshort-term, locally significant exceptions.“If your local market has new productioncapacity coming online soon – either primaryor smelting/recycling – plan accordingly,”Slosse said.Recyclers should also keep in mind that thecurrent shortage is probably more of amomentary supply issue from the impacts ofCOVID and the economy’s recovery.“The short-term shortage in some markets isdue to transportation issues including a lackof trucks, railcars and shipping containers,”Petruski said. “But in the long term, withincreased domestic capacity coming onlinefrom new EAF production, there may soon bea persistent scrap shortage from what thehistorical supply balance has been.”COURIER SERVICESCOURIER--Will pick up and deliver:Site surveysFloor plansArchitectural drawingsSmall item delivery to and fromconstruction sites.Call or text Tim at (505) 450-7709

In general, ESCOs act as projectdevelopers for a comprehensive range ofenergy conservation measures (ECMs) andassume the technical and performance risksassociated with a project.ESCOs are distinguished from other firmsthat offer energy-efficiency improvements inthat they use the performance-basedcontracting methodology. When an ESCOimplements a project, the company'scompensation is directly linked to the actualenergy cost savings.The substantial energy-efficiency retrofitsand renewable energy technologies inherentin energy savings performance contract(ESPC) projects typically require a largeinitial capital investment and may have arelatively long payback period. Debtpayments are tied to the energy cost savingsguaranteed for the project, so the agencypays for the capital improvements of theESPC project with the money saved by theproject (i.e., the difference between pre-installation and post-installation energy useand other related costs).The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)manages three categories of ESCOs thatperform federal government ESPC projects:DOE Qualified List of ESCOs, DOE Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) ESPCESCOs, and ENABLE ESPC ESCOs.Copyright: Albuquerque Journal ENERGY SERVICECOMPANIESBy Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy
