30 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE AUGUST 2020 job. I saw one last week that had 11 or 12. The backlog is starting to dwindle for the contractors that dabble in both the public and private part and the subdivision/commercial part is drying up. Some contractors do both and they’ve got to keep their people busy. We’ll do the same thing when times get tight; 99 percent of our work is public sector, but we’ll start jumping into the private sector if need be, or hunt work anywhere we can find it.” Going forward, Patrick says that his goals for the future are to “maintain the workforce that we have; maintain the level of income; and continue a smart and productive growth, while keeping flexible enough both with cash flow and liquidity. We are a local, family-owned business that’s been in business for over 50 years and we’re not only continuing, we’ve grown, and doing multi-million dollar jobs. To do work for government agencies is not an easy task, but we’ve specialized in it and have become very successful at doing it.” PREFERRED VENDORS n Ferguson Waterworks www.Ferguson.com/Waterworks Ferguson Waterworks delivers quality products and innovative solutions across the water, sanitary sewer and stormwater management industries.
