Harbor Springs Excavating, Inc was recently honored with a 2012 Award of Excellence by the Builders Exchange of Northwest Michigan, Inc. for their outstanding work and dedication to the timely completion of the water main upgrades in the Central Business District of Harbor Springs. They were one of nine contractors of The Builders Exchange of Northwest Michigan, Inc, to have submitted projects for their outstanding workmanship. The projects will be recognized at the 2012 Annual Award Banquet.
The project that earned Harbor Springs Excavating, Inc, this award focused on the two main blocks that make up the Central Business District of Harbor Springs. With the downtown merchants heavily dependent on the resort and tourist industry in the months of June-September, and winter on the other extreme, the work had to be squeezed in to the months of April and May. The employees of Harbor Springs Excavating, Inc, were able to begin work a week ahead due to good weather and were able to complete the project in a timely manner due to planning, efforts by the employees, and the cooperation of the downtown merchants, City employees and the city engineer (Benchmark). At the completion of the project, Harbor Springs Excavating, Inc, was able to claim 36 days worth of incentive bonus, all due to the efforts and long hours worked by the dedicated employees. During the project they were able to install the new infrastructure while maintaining services to the merchants from the existing system. Harbor Springs Excavating, Inc, also created an on-site soil retention system that allowed 50% of the original sidewalk system to remain in place throughout the project time. This dedication and timeliness made the project a perfect nominee for the 2012 Award of Excellence.
