The CP&R team would like to wish everybody a Happy 2016! We hope you had a

wonderful Holiday Season with your loved ones. As we enter the New Year, we would

like to take a moment to look back at our accomplishments this past year. Here are some

of CP&R's successes in 2015:

Successfully completed over 150 projects in excess of $32M in revenues

Opened a new office in Florida

CP&R was awarded the ICRI Project of Excellence in the High-Rise Category for the

Emergency Structural Repairs performed at the Dolphin Towers Condominium. The

same project won the 2015 Outstanding Project of the Year Award with the National

Council of Structural Engineers Association (NCSEA).

CP&R also won an award at the ICRI-BWC 2015 Outstanding Repair Project Award

with the 1000 Vermont Facade Repairs project.

We would like to thank all of our employees, business partners, and friends for your

support. We would not have accomplished so much without your help.

The CP&R Team!

tie between the Champion and Runner-up

which was broken by a man hour

comparison. Erick Sandoval Medina won

the Runner-up award for successfully

supervising projects that had 12,000 man

hours of work. He did so on projects in

Florida and in Maryland. Erick spent the

bulk of his time at the Montgomery

County Executive Office Building Plaza

Restoration, Waterproofing and Concrete

Repair project. This project requires

extensive public protection while

maintaining public access to both, the

Montgomery County Executive Office

Building and to the adjacent courthouse.

To maintain access and to comply with the

County’s desire to have both buildings

operating at normal levels, Erick and his

crew have worked days, nights, weekdays,

weekends and holidays. They have

worked over delicate computer

equipment that must be maintained

intact, over cafeteria kitchens that must

remain open to the staff and public, and in

the plaza drive lane.

At our first annual CP&R Award

Ceremony, the Annual Safety Award

Program crowned a “Champion of

Safety” for 2015, a runner-up, three

honorable mentions, and a

contender. The awards were

presented to Field Managers that had

successfully spent at least 1000 hours

in a supervisory capacity throughout

the year. One exception was made to

the contender Normando Palacios

who did not quite supervise for 1000

hours as Prime Superintendent, but

who performed at a high level on the

two projects he managed. Normally,

Normando acts as a Prime

Superintendent for the entire year,

but due to our busy

schedule in 2015, we asked

Normando to apply his

skills in more of a support

role on a number of jobs

that were successfully

completed. Therefore,

Normando was awarded

the first ever “Contender”

as a Superintendent and is

expected to be a finalist in

2016.

The Honorable Mention

Awards (3) went to Bill

Rupert, Denis Diaz, and

Hiram Delvalle. Bill, Denis,

and Hiram managed over

60,000 man hours of labor

on their respective

projects, combined with no

major incidents. They also

performed all of their administrative

functions, attended and sent

attendees to training classes offered

by CP&R, and always maintaining a

fantastic attitude of continual

improvement in their individual

safety efforts.

After management surveys were

completed and returned, there was a

Safety Awards

After all the lead up awards were issued,

Fredis Sanchez Pineda was crowned with the

2015 CP&R Champion of Safety award. Fredis

acted as Prime Superintendent on a number

of very large projects during the judgement

period, including the McLean House Façade

Repairs, the Jefferson Garage repairs, the

1111 14th street project, and the Crystal

Houses project which is still in progress. In

total, he supervised over 21,000 man hours

of labor without a single incident and he also

performed all of his administrative functions

throughout the entire year. After reviewing

all of his safety inspections for the entire

year, not a single recommended change had

been issued, meaning Fredis’ projects were

free of recognized safety hazards for an

entire year!

Overall, the Champion of Safety Incentive

Program was received by all employees

as a smashing success and even though

we recognized only a few of our

dedicated employees, it did not

thoroughly illustrate how well all of our

Superintendents performed during 2015.

The CP&R Safety Culture has flourished

over the last year, providing a solid

foundation for continued growth into

2016 and beyond. That potential is made

possible by all of the hard work and

attention to detail ALL FIELD MANAGERS

exercise on their projects. Thank you for

a successful 2015 and we all look forward

to continued success in 2016!

has addressed all concerns to ensure

the project is completed at the

highest CP&R standards."

Alex Fouts was our November

nominee.

Alex works

at the

warehouse

and he

always

manages

to gladly

help everybody who is picking up

supplies or dropping materials back

at the warehouse. He does

everything that is asked of him. Alex

has received more than one

nomination and everybody has said

many great things about him. So,

thank you Alex for being such a great

help!

For the month of December, Dennis

Diaz was the employee of the

month. According to his nominator,

Dennis

represents

CP&R in a

very

professional,

dedicated,

and polite

manner. He constantly does what is

asked of him and he is also willing to

train any new hire. He has strong

work ethics, willingness to learn, and

always puts quality first.

Based on all of the 12 nominations

for employee of the month, we

selected our employee of the year

As noted with our Champion of

Safety Award, CP&R’s employees are

our greatest asset. With that in mind,

during 2015, we implemented the

Employee of the Month and the

Employee of the Year program. Even

though we only pick one employee a

month and the first, second, and

third quarter nominations have

already been made, we would like to

thank each one of you for your hard

work and dedication during the past

year. The following are the fourth

quarter Employee of the Month

recipients and the Employee of the

year.

Samuel Payes was the selected

employee

for the

Month of

October.

Following

are some

things

that his nominator said about him

especially referring to his latest

assigned project:

“Samuel has done an exceptional job

on his new assigned project. He went

in with a positive attitude, has

listened well to explanations of the

work and asked questions when

necessary. Samuel went above and

beyond with set-up and protection

including appropriate signs for safety

of the crew and others and easily

accessible stations in case of

emergencies. Samuel has shown

great communication between his

project manager and the owners and

Employee of the Month

who has continuously shown a desire to

strive and to make CP&R a proud

employer. Thus, our employee of the

year was Carlos Rivera Salgado. When

Carlos Rivera was selected as the

employee of the month, his nominator

said that he could go on for days

describing everything that Carlos does

for CP&R, but he kept it short and

highlighted Carlo’s performance only

during the months prior his nomination.

According to his nominator, Carlos

constantly works on multiple jobs and

juggles day and

night shifts. He has

been able to

continue

performing with

excellence, but he

has also

maintained a great

attitude with coworkers and with

customers. Congratulations Carlos and

thank you for your continued dedication!




CP&R is about to complete a major parking garage restoration located at 1101 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington Virginia. The parking garage was in desperate need of concrete repairs throughout its nine elevated levels. CP&R completed approximately 50,000 SF of combined partial and full depth concrete repairs as well as various other improvements. The repairs and improvements included crack repair, full and partial depth concrete repairs, soffit repairs, and limited vehicular traffic coating to a few isolated areas. Just as we were completing the original scope the owners added close to 200,000 SF of additional traffic coating on all of the elevated slabs. This project came to fruition after many years of working with Monday

Properties at their other parking locations along Wilson Blvd in Arlington, VA – 1000/1100 Wilson Boulevard, 1701 Fort Myer Dr., and 1501/1515 Wilson Boulevard just to name a few. CP&R has built a great relationship with the management and staff of Monday Properties and currently we are about to complete repairs at 6 of their other garages. The list below is a quick description of some of the work we completed at the 1101 Garage.

Full depth and partial depth concrete slab repairs

elevations. The floors up to the 11th

level contain precast panels,

approximately 48” tall and 36” wide

that are connected to each floor slab.

However, the 12th floor and the main

roof precast panels are supported by

steel lintels and a masonry parapet

wall. There is a large precast bull-nose
