CPR Construction Cleaning expands its footprint with Utah team, growth of its Arizona operation

CPR Construction Cleaning expands its footprint with Utah team, growth of its Arizona operation

News & Updates

by | Jul 20, 2020 | News & Updates

      GILBERT, ARIZ.  (July 21, 2020) – A team in Utah. Growth of its Arizona office to more than 40 employees. A disinfecting service for COVID-19-related mitigation.

Since launching in 2019, CPR Construction Cleaning has experienced tremendous growth the past six months with plans to expand to California and Nevada.

Founded by restoration and facility maintenance professionals Corina Burton and Patrick Maez, co-owners and CEOs, the Gilbert-based firm offers three phases of cleaning: progress/rough cleaning, final cleaning and touch-up cleaning.

CPR’s approach to the disinfecting process has helped it secure clients as the nation wrestles with the COVID-19 pandemic. It is constantly receiving calls from businesses looking for disinfecting services. Maez said April was CPR’s busiest month for work volume. CPR tests all its employees for the virus if they are feeling cold-like symptoms.

“I’m pleasantly surprised by how busy we’ve been,” Burton said. “However, we do want to be mindful about how fast we’ve been growing. Moving into Utah proved to be a great move. It has opened more opportunities and has put us in front of some key players in that state’s construction industry.”

Burton said CPR partners with its general contractor clients “in such a way that we help alleviate additional expense.” With large projects, there are numerous entities involved in so many phases.

“A final build-out can have all the bells and whistles, but once the owner comes and walks the property, he or she are usually upset if the building is not clean,” Burton said. “To ownership, looking nice and clean when they take occupancy is very important.”

CPR has a large contract in Utah for student housing at Utah Valley University in Orem. This project takes up one of CPR’s five teams. Another team is currently working at a 193-suite resort under construction in Fountain Hills. That team, Burton said, is locked in for two months.

“Not all our projects are that long,” she said, adding that some take one or two days or a week to complete. “The resort is very complex with different phases of construction.       We have been growing significantly from Day 1. Every job site our teams go on has four to 10 people. As we grow, we continue to create new teams. I feel every month or every other month we are having to grow our team(s).”

Burton said CPR teams have disinfected office buildings, schools and medical office buildings. CPR recently completed a major disinfecting job at St. Luke’s Medical Center.

“Pre-cleaning the space is a very important, first step,” Burton said. “It’s a wipe down of all ‘high-touch point’ and flat surface areas followed by a fogger that produces a liberal spray that ensures a complete and safe sanitization and disinfected space.”

Burton said she expects CPR to be even busier once COVID-19 subsides. Since it’s considered an essential business, construction has remained brisk in the Valley and in the Southwest.

Burton said CPR’s biggest success so far is “having a company that is making a difference in the construction industry. We have had multiple clients provide feedback on how grateful they are in having a specialized cleaning company focused on all of the right aspects of our side of the business.”

CPR’s biggest challenge so far?

       “Our biggest challenge has been navigating through all of the growth we are experiencing,” Burton said. “On the one hand it has been extremely exciting but on the other hand, there are a lot of challenges that come when trying to grow a company too quickly. We never want to get to a point where we are over-promising and under-delivering. Our number one priority is to ensure our quality of service stays at the highest level at all times.”

Hunter Contracting Co. putting finishing touches on $22.5M roadway widening in Oro Valley, AZ  

Hunter Contracting Co. putting finishing touches on $22.5M roadway widening in Oro Valley, AZ  

News & Updates

by | Jul 20, 2020 | News & Updates

         TUCSON, ARIZONA (July 20, 2020) – Increased traffic capacity and enhanced safety for pedestrians are close to getting the green light as Hunter Contracting Co. nears completion of a major reconstruction project that will widen a key intersection in Tucson in the Town of Oro Valley, Arizona.

The $22.5 million La Cholla Boulevard Phase II Overton to Tangerine and water main replacement at 9801 N. La Cholla Blvd., consists of:

  • Reconstruction of three traffic signals at the intersections of La Cholla Boulevard with Lambert Lane, Naranja Drive and Glover Road with signalized and marked pedestrian crossings;
  • Widening to four lanes including raised landscaped median, curbs, multi-use path, and sidewalk;
  • Construction of major drainage facilities.

“We were elated with this project win in 2018 and appreciate working with the Town of Oro Valley again,” said Chuck English, President of Hunter Contracting Co. and Chairman of the Board of Directors for the AGC Arizona Chapter. “Our current focus is to complete the work in order to open up all of the new infrastructure for the Town, schools and most importantly, the residents.”

The work includes furnishing all labor, materials and equipment necessary to reconstruct the roadway, traffic signals and to construct all conduit, median cuts, ADA-compliant curb access ramps, striping, signing and utility coordination.

Improvements were made possible by the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA). Two of the intersections serve two schools along the corridor as well – Wilson Elementary School and Ironwood View High School. There was major coordination with bus routing during construction.

Construction began January 3, 2019; completion is expected in early September.

“The La Cholla Boulevard widening project improved a critical link between the Town of Oro Valley and the City of Tucson,” said Brian Janski, Project Sponsor and Project Manager for Hunter Contracting Co. “The team mentality between the owner, contractor and multiple stakeholders, including multiple utility providers, contributed to a successful project. In this challenging labor market, with the assistance of the AGC training programs, we were able to successfully deliver projects meeting timeframes and owner budgets.”

The project comprises 3.3 miles of roadway construction, four Con-Arch™ drainage structures, 42,500 SF of sidewalk, more than 40,000 LF of curb, 125,000 SF of concrete channel lining, three signalized intersections and 10,875 LF of reinforced concrete pipe storm drain.

AECOM is the engineer of record on the project. Other notable subcontractors include Tucson Asphalt, paving; Mountain Power, traffic signals; Brightview Landscaping, landscape; and Rockridge Construction, rip rap.

            “The La Cholla Boulevard widening project is a major north-south corridor for the entire Tucson region. This project transforms what was once a little rural two-lane, no shoulder road into a major arterial capable of handling present as well as future traffic demands. In addition, the project fixes many dangerous side street blind spots and protects wildlife crossing linkages. It is a project several years in the making and Hunter Contracting Co. building it in less than two years,” said Paul Keesler, P.E., Director/Town Engineer, Department of Public Works, Town of Oro Valley.

“Hunter Contracting Co. has been an outstanding partner. They have been responsive to Town staff, our partners Pima County and the Regional Transportation Authority, along with providing excellent communication and response to the impacted property owners along La Cholla Boulevard. With a project of this scope, with so many challenges – not to mention COVID-19 thrown into the mix – Hunter Contracting Co. has powered through all the adversity of 2020 to deliver. This project is on schedule and on budget. That’s saying something,” Keesler said.

About Hunter Contracting Co.

In 1947, William R. Hunter began constructing concrete-lined ditches for farmers across the East Valley and he formed Hunter Ditch Lining (HDL) a year later. Armando Taddei joined HDL and after a few years of working for the company, Mr. Taddei purchased HDL in 1961. The same year, Mr. Taddei founded Hunter Contracting Co. (Hunter). The company is currently led by Max Taddei, Chairman of the Board, and Amy Ostwinkle, Corporate Secretary, as the third generation of the Taddei family to lead Hunter.

Hunter is a heavy site/civil construction company specializing in preconstruction and construction services in transportation, water and wastewater, parks and recreation, underground utilities and rehabilitation, site development, and irrigation and flood control. Hunter has offices in both Gilbert and Tucson to provide an outstanding project experience to public and private clients and industry peers throughout Arizona. Hunter continues to diversify through acquisition of a revolutionary product known as Con-Arch™. Con-Arch has made it possible for Hunter to construct concrete arches, substituting for box culverts, at reduced cost while offering improved aesthetics and increased structural integrity.

Over the course of her 25-year career in commercial real estate, Rieger has established herself as one of the most well-respected commercial escrow officers in the Arizona market. She has managed numerous offices with a focus on both business development and the servicing of complex commercial transactions. Rieger joins the firm as Vice President and Senior Commercial Escrow Officer and will co-manage the Phoenix branch.

After years of experience in business development and title insurance underwriting roles in Metro Washington, D.C., Marucci returned home to Phoenix last year. As Vice President of Business Development & Underwriting Counsel, Marucci will be managing client relationships and concentrating on growth initiatives within the market.

“Nicole and I are thrilled to be joining such a prestigious firm and are excited to offer expanded services through Kensington Vanguard’s national platform, relationships and presence,” Rieger said.

“Carol and Nicole will add significant depth and talent to our already strong local team and establish KV as one of the leaders in the Arizona commercial title insurance space. We’re committed to continued growth in this market,” said Brian Cooper, Co-CEO of Kensington Vanguard.
