History and interesting facts |
|
The Company's very first project was a small box culvert for
TXDOT to
replace an aging wooden bridge near the town of Corrigan in Polk County,
Texas. Since that time the Company has continued to pursue
TXDOT work. The Company’s first contract in excess of one
million dollars was for TXDOT, and then later the Company's
first contract over three million dollars was another TXDOT
project. The majority of the work
that P. R. Parker Company has performed for TXDOT has been in
Districts: 1 (Paris), 2 (Fort Worth), 10 (Tyler), 11 (Lufkin),
18 (Dallas) and 19 (Atlanta) all of which lie within a radius of
approximately 200 miles of the Company's Shreveport Office. |
|
The Company's largest contract through its first
three years of operation was for LADOTD, and then later the Company’s first contract in excess of two million
dollars was also an LADOTD project.. The LADOTD projects that
the Company had completed through 2007 were all located north of
Interstate 10 within approximately 200 miles of the
Shreveport Office. Then in 2008, the Company ventured
farther south, but still west of the Mississippi River. |
|
P. R. Parker Company rarely pursues work in private markets or
as a subcontractor. However, in certain cases where the Company does
perform work for owners other than our usual state, city,
county and federal customers, those customers have met certain financial requirements and have a
favorable credit history, and the prime contracts are
typically for bonded projects. |
|
Some of the Company’s primary purchases include: liquid
asphaltic cements and emulsions, crushed stone, concrete, pipe,
pre-cast concrete structures, reinforcing steel, diesel fuel,
and lubricating oils. |
|
The Company uses equipment and vehicles (through purchase,
rental, and lease): pickup trucks, dump trucks, trailers,
loaders, rollers, power brooms, paving equipment, compactors,
excavators, graders, bulldozers, other heavy equipment,
surveying instruments, computers, software, and
miscellaneous construction-related items. |
