Inside this issue:

This section of the Broad-

way Bugle is typically

used as a forum to ad-

dress company-wide mat-

ters or make announce-

ments that affect the en-

tire organization. In this

issue of the Bugle my

brother and I would like

to take the opportunity to

recognize some of our em-

ployees who have been

working on some exciting

new things for us. The

projects these employees

are working on are help-

ing streamline our busi-

ness so that we adapt

with the growth we are

experiencing. We are

trying to capitalize on

available technologies

while at the same time

trying to standardize the

way we do things to a

“BMC way”.

Bill Flockhart, who in

addition to serving as our

Chief HVAC Estimator

and working tirelessly

with Bryan Gugliemo to

provide HVAC proposals

for all the new projects

that pass through our

estimating department,

has been working to util-

ize sophisticated estimat-

ing software to develop a

BMC customized data-

base for all of our future

estimating needs across

all the trades—plumbing,

piping, and HVAC. Bill

has been working closely

with Shawn Rodriguez

and together they hope to

streamline our BMC esti-

mating processes with the

goal of being more accu-

rate and efficient.

Thanks to Bill and his

team for all the hard

work!

Frank Yankey, in addi-

tion to his regular duties

as Director of Operations,

deserves recognition for

helping with the creation

of a more robust engi-

neering department and

for helping to transition

Eloisa Furnaguera into

an important internal

support role where among

other things she assists

scheduling our projects.

The expanded Engineer-

ing Department will help

BMC to put more focus

into our design build ca-

pabilities as we are see-

ing more and more pro-

jects using this method of

delivery. Thanks Frank

for your contributions!

HVAC scopes of work. The project has started in the design

phase, is scheduled to begin construction in Q4 2014 and is

expected to be completed in Q3 2016.

Pine & Franklin will be the second project that sees BMC team

up with both developer, Oyster Development and general con-

sion with both Oyster Development and Build Group. The

Pine & Franklin project, which will cover 3/4ths of a block in

Lower Pacific Heights and will be located next to a Whole

Foods, is a rare project both in size and in location for this

The new 2155 Webster Street project will transform the old

University of the Pacific’s Dugoni School of Dentistry build-

ing into a new high-end residential condominium complex in

the heart of Pacific Heights. The project will convert the ex-

isting 222,000-square-foot, 8-story office building and adja-

cent parking lot, by adding two floors to the top and con-

structing 10 new townhomes on the vacant parking lot for a

combined total of 76 units and 98 parking spots. The project

is design build with BMC performing the HVAC scope of

work. The project is currently in design with construction

scheduled to begin in Q2 of 2015 and an expected completion

in Q2 of 2016.

The project, owned by developer Trumark Uban and de-

signed by Handel Architects (who also designed BMC project

NEMA at 10th & Market), will be the second of BMC’s new

projects (along with Pine & Franklin above) to be located in

one of San Francisco’s most prestigious neighborhoods. The

high-end units will average 2,000 square feet in size and

will include two 4,000 square foot, two-story penthouses

with views of the Golden Gate Bridge.

In this edition of the Bugle, we want to recog-

nize the great work that is going on out at 75

Hawthorne, which has proven to be one of the

most challenging projects, from a logistical

standpoint, that BMC has ever done. 75 Haw-

thorne houses two major federal agencies, the

EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and

the NSA (National Security Agency). The

challenge with this project was demolishing

and replacing the antiquated heating and cool-

ing systems with a new rooftop central plant,

while keeping the building fully operational

for the current tenants.

In addition to new fuel oil piping for the emer-

gency generators and new refrigeration piping

for the tenant spaces, this project required

two major crane picks that gave Project Fore-

man Joe Rosales and his crew from Friday

evening through Sunday evening on two sepa-

rate weekends to demolish, replace and recon-

struct a new boiler & new cooling tower and

have them operational by the time office work-

ers arrived on Monday morning. “This project

has one of the largest scopes of work that com-

bines special conditions with such a tight win-

dow of time to complete our installation.

That’s why this been one of the hardest jobs

I’ve ever worked on,” says Joe.

At >70% complete, both major crane picks

have been completed, the new cooling towers

are operational, the 2nd chiller will be operat-

ing soon, and the fuel oil piping is already

through the 10th floor (will continue up to

Floor 22). Says Piping Superintendant Dave

Patterson, “Joe and his crew have done a re-

markable job. They say ‘going the extra mile’,

well Joe and his crew have gone way past

that.” Says Joe, “My crew has been very loyal

to ‘Team BMC’, to fight through obstacles and

stay positive. I couldn’t have done this with-

out them. They are the ones that deserve to

be recognized for their hard work.”

Bay Area SMACNA Intern Training Day

www.broadwaymechanical.com

Every summer the Bay Area Chapter of SMACNA oversees an

internship program which helps place college and high school stu-

dents into summer internships with local member contractors.

This summer, Rob Potter, a mechanical engineering major enter-

ing his senior year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is interning with

BMC through SMACNA’s program. As part of the internship pro-

gram each summer, SMACNA organizes an Intern Training Day,

which gives the interns a chance to visit a local contractor’s of-

fice/shop. The visit is intended to give the interns the opportunity

to learn more about the profession and provide perspective on all

the various career opportunities the industry offers.

On Tuesday, July 15th BMC welcomed 18 Bay Area SMACNA

Summer Interns for a visit to BMC’s campus in Oakland. The

day included a presentation about BMC given by Director of

Operations Frank Yankey and Director of Business Develop-

ment Matt Johndrow, a shop/office tour of BMC's facilities

with HVAC Superintendent Rick Hood, Shop Foreman Far-

man Robinson and Director of Procurement Rob Isom, a lunch-

time Q & A session with CEO Fred Nurisso and President Ken

Nurisso, and a jobsite walk/tour of one of BMC's projects in

SF, 535 Mission, a high rise in the heart of The Financial Dis-

trict lead by Project Managers Mark Mikhail and Tyler Jank.

SMACNA viewed this years Training Day as a huge success,

noting that the interns’ feedback and evaluations were over-

whelmingly positive. “They were very impressed with your

shop and offices, and extremely impressed with the 535 Mis-

sion jobsite tour. Thank you to everyone over at BMC.”
