A rebar supplier bidding to provide the steel package for a large-scale expansion project turns to Dayton Superior for value-engineering services and product solutions to lower costs and improve production capabilities that ultimately resulted in a successful bid package and a cost savings of more than $41,000.

HarMac Rebar & Steel Corporation, a division of A.H. Harris & Sons, Inc. was eager to bid out the steel package for Liberty Mutual Group's expansion project, consisting of a $300 million, 22-story tower in Boston's Back Bay. However, with an 18-month production backlog, if HarMac included fabrication of every piece required for the project, the company would have struggled to meet the delivery schedule and been unable to produce a competitive bid.
HarMac approached Dayton Superior to provide a product solution that would reduce their costs without compromising value and allow them to make a stronger, competitive bid for the project. Dayton Superior's solution was the Taper-Lock Form Saver, a taper threaded, mechanical splicing product that includes an integral nailing flange attachment to formwork during segmental concrete pours.

By using the Taper-Lock Form Saver, HarMac saved nearly a month in labor resources at a value of approximately $41,000 – a savings that ultimately contributed to a successful bid package.
