Partnerships
State Departments of Transportation
The company depends on state DOTs—notably Alabama, Florida, and Georgia Departments of Transportation—for most long-term highway contracts, with these agencies supplying over 70% of its project pipeline via competitive bids; in 2024 Georgia DOT alone awarded $1.2B in construction contracts, underscoring the revenue scale. Maintaining a 98% on-time, on-budget performance record is critical to win repeat awards and sustain steady annual revenue.
Material and Liquid Asphalt Suppliers
Strategic alliances with liquid asphalt and raw-aggregate suppliers secure feedstock for hot-mix asphalt and help control input costs; CPI locks 60–80% of expected annual liquid asphalt volume via forward supply contracts to limit exposure to the 2024–25 US Gulf Coast price swings (±18% YoY) and keep plant utilization above 85%.
Specialized Subcontractors
For large-scale civil projects, CPI partners with specialized subcontractors for niche tasks—electrical, signage, and environmental mitigation—letting CPI scale quickly and bid on multidisciplinary contracts; subcontractor spend often reaches 30–45% of project costs on >$10M jobs (2024 industry median). Effective subcontractor management—regular audits, integrated scheduling, and KPIs—keeps projects on time and compliant with ISO 9001 and local regs.
Heavy Equipment Manufacturers and Dealers
Partnerships with Caterpillar and John Deere keep CPI’s fleet current—reducing downtime by up to 20% and cutting maintenance costs; service and financing deals (e.g., 3–5 year lease-back or 0.5–2.5% below market financing) lower CAPEX pressure and improve cash flow.
Access to OEM tech like telematics and automated grade control boosted CPI’s site productivity ~12% in 2024 and improved safety metrics (recordable incidents down 18%).
- Reduces downtime ~20%
- Financing trims CAPEX, improves cash flow
- Telematics raises productivity ~12% (2024)
- Safety incidents down 18%
Local Municipalities and County Governments
Beyond state work, CPI secures city street paving and county road maintenance contracts that typically range $50k–$500k annually, adding stable, recurring revenue that offsets the lumpiness of $5M+ highway projects. These local ties—registered vendor status with 120 municipalities in 2025—give CPI early visibility into regional needs and often make it the preferred contractor for routine repairs.
- Recurring contract size: $50k–$500k
- Highway project size: $5M+
- Municipal relationships: 120 cities/counties (2025)
Strategic partnerships drive stable revenue, lower costs, and faster project delivery
CPI’s key partnerships—state DOTs (70%+ pipeline; GA DOT $1.2B awards 2024), suppliers (60–80% asphalt hedged; Gulf Coast ±18% 2024–25), OEMs (Caterpillar/John Deere; -20% downtime, +12% productivity 2024), subcontractors (30–45% spend on >$10M jobs), and 120 municipalities (2025)—stabilize revenue, control input cost, and boost project delivery.
| Partner | Key metric | 2024–25 data |
|---|---|---|
| State DOTs | Pipeline share | 70%+ |
| Georgia DOT | Construction awards | $1.2B (2024) |
| Asphalt suppliers | Hedged volume | 60–80% |
| OEMs | Productivity / downtime | +12% / -20% (2024) |
| Subcontractors | Share on large jobs | 30–45% (> $10M) |
| Municipalities | Registered vendors | 120 (2025) |

Activities
Asphalt Production and Manufacturing
Asphalt production at company-owned hot-mix plants across the Southeast is core, giving CPI control over material quality and margin: in 2024 plants produced ~1.2 million tons, cutting material cost ~8% vs. market purchases and enabling ~$14M in third-party sales. Efficient run rates and 92% uptime in 2024 kept supply steady for internal crews and protected gross margin.
Roadway Construction and Paving
The core activity is building, rehabbing, and paving highways, bridges, and local roads, coordinating crews, fleets, and materials to hit engineering specs and timelines; US federal Highway Construction projects averaged $210,000 per lane-mile in 2024 and CPI’s on-time completion rate target is 95% to capture performance bonuses.
Strategic Acquisitions and Integration
The company pursues a roll-up strategy, acquiring local civil infrastructure firms in fast-growth markets—26 acquisitions completed 2019–2024, adding $420M revenue and 18% CAGR in target regions. This covers target sourcing, deal due diligence, and post-merger integration of teams and assets, where successful integration drove 12% overhead cost savings and expanded geographic reach to 14 new metro areas.
Project Management and Engineering
Managing complex infrastructure projects requires tight scheduling, budgeting, and engineering oversight to protect margins; pre-bid cost estimating and milestone monitoring cut liquidated-damage risk—average large-cap civil projects with digital PM tools reduce schedule slippage by ~20% and cost overruns from ~28% to ~18% (McKinsey 2020–2023 data).
Key activities:
- Pre-bid cost estimating and risk allowances
- Milestone tracking to avoid liquidated damages
- Real-time resource and productivity tracking via PM software
Site Development and Utility Installation
Site development and utility installation: CPI handles clearing, grading, stormwater systems, and underground utilities alongside paving, targeting private-sector and large commercial projects where combined site packages grew 18% in 2024 and accounted for 42% of revenue in Q4 2024.
Offering full civil services positions CPI as a single-source provider for complex infrastructure, reducing subcontractor costs (typical savings 8–12%) and shortening delivery by ~15% on average.
- Clearing, grading, stormwater, utilities
- Focus: private sector & large commercial
- 2024: +18% package growth; 42% Q4 revenue
- Saves 8–12% vs subcontracting
- Avg schedule cut ~15%
Integrated Civil & Asphalt Growth: 1.2MT, $14M sales, 26 deals, 42% Q4 revenue
