In February 2006, over 500 engineers, highway officials, contractors and consultants gathered to exchange information and recognize last year's exceptional construction projects. The Iowa Concrete Paving Association (ICPA) hosted its 42nd Annual Concrete Paving Workshop, which each year attracts Iowa's top transportation leaders and builders. Highlighting the three-day event was the presentation of the Portland Cement Concrete Paving Awards. In determining the winners of Iowa's most prestigious paving awards, nominated projects were rated on smoothness, quality control, general appearance and workmanship, contractor management, safety and project complexity. The ICPA and the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) jointly evaluated and recognized the winning projects as 2005's best concrete pavements in various categories.
Cedar Valley Corp. was presented this prestigious paving award for the following project:
