TOP 5: Updates from Q3
1. rcc: lashkowitz comes down
In quarter 2, we were awarded the Lashkowitz Riverfront project in Fargo, ND. Before construction of the new building could begin, the old tower needed to come down.
The implosion was scheduled Saturday, September 16th at 7am. This is what Construction Executive, David Wood had to say:
“It was amazing to watch the Lashkowitz high rise come down today. I was very impressed by the expertise, professionalism, and pride of Target Contractors while watching today. After they get everything cleaned up, Roers will have the opportunity to construct the new Lashkowitz Riverfront affordable housing. We are excited to be a part of this special project for the next generation of the Fargo community to enjoy.”
2. RW: Minot expanding
Update from Project Manager, Micah Jacobson: “The Roers Minot office is very excited as we look forward on this upcoming quarter. The completion of the Minot Fire Station #5 project is a significant milestone, and we are thrilled to witness the positive impacts it will bring to the Minot Fire Department. With faster response times and enhanced emergency response capabilities, the safety of the community will be greatly improved.
We are also pleased to continue making progress on the Northland Health Center project in Turtle Lake, ND, and the Dakota College at Bottineau Minot CTE Center project in Downtown Minot, ND. These projects hold tremendous potential to positively impact the lives of many individuals. Moreover, we are eagerly looking forward to start work on the Western State Bank project in Devils Lake, ND, and applying our expertise to create another great building for our customer.
Lastly, I want to express a warm welcome to project engineer Bryce Osksa, whose valuable contributions have already been greatly appreciated. Together, we are excited to leave our mark on future projects in the Minot community and its surrounding areas.”

4.Wellness month recap
August was National Wellness Month and Roers Give & Grow Wellness Committee decided to make it a month long event for our offices.
Week 1 we introduced the month with some healthy snacks and wellness facts.
Week 2 consisted off healthy snacks at job sites and a healthy potluck at the office.
Week 3, we focused on hydration and provided electrolyte drink mixes to the offices and also brought those mixes and waters to the job sites.
In week 4, we hosted an Active Week Bingo encouraging employees to get their bodies and minds moving. Each bingo line crossed out entered the individual in for a prize. The winner of the Active Week Bingo was Lindsey F.
Week 5 was focused on mental health! Wellness Committee member Ivy sent out information about “box breathing” to help calm nerves and refocus.
Overall, we are happy with the employee involvement and can’t wait to bring back wellness month in 2024!

Q3 peer recognition award winners
Lois Eid
roers management
fargo
contract administrator
Lois has taught me so many opportunities to learn throughout the construction side of Roers. The knowledge that she holds and to teach others about it is remarkable. There are days that I am in awe because it's the little things she knows that most people do not think of. She is patient, sweet, and a beautiful person through and through. Without her, I do not think I would not know much about the Construction side of Roers and all the paperwork that is needed! She is always teaching me to do the right thing, not only with my work but with some other parts of life. If you do not know Lois, then you need to. She is truly a remarkable woman. Without Lois, I would not have grown to who I am within Roers. Plus, who doesn't enjoy her sense of humor?!
Bonnie Thompson
property management
Fargo
custodian
Bonnie would be a great candidate for this as she is such a team player. She is always willing to help in any area and any division. She is such a go getter. From keeping the properties looking clean to our offices to even handling snow so we can all get into work safely. She is so knowledgeable about what products should be used or if something doesn't work right, she usually has another alternative to try. She is such a value to the Roers team and very thankful for her. True Partnership is always shown when it comes to helping out!
Randy Bischof
Roers Construction
fargo
Superintendent II
Randy has been a faithful member of the RCC safety committee for over a year now, where his presence and conversation is greatly appreciated. He keeps his sites tip-top when it comes to hazard prevention. He takes it personal when issues are found when an audit is conducted and usually abates the hazards immediately. He always says he doesn't want to get "dinged" for any violations, they make him look bad! What he actually is doing is keeping our employees safe.
Cameron Peltier

carpenter i
Cameron has been helping me out in Dickinson and has taken on a lead role with the guys. I can give him tasks and know that he will get them taken care of even with me not being onsite all the time. He takes the time to try and teach the guys if they don't know something. He is able to run the guys and manages them very well.
