The key individuals involved with the design build were Blair, general manager Scott Helton, vice-president Bill Helton and operations manager Gene Helton. "What was really exciting about the whole thing was that we had a number of people involved," said Blair. "It's not only Earlham's field, it's Allied's as well. We had to work very closely with Steve and Mike on this getting this approved, as we came up with many different ideas which took quite some time and effort but came out great in the end. "'Whatever it takes, every time' has always been Allied's slogan," Blair stated. "With this project that slo- gan really came into play, as it is not only referring to getting the job done and right the first time, but rather the fact that we will go to great lengths to give you something that really 'pops' or stands out from everything else without putting too much hurt on your wallet. "We hope that this becomes a cat- alyst in showing potential customers that you can go outside of the norm sometimes and get something really spectacular. This job was very exciting for us and we can only hope to get more like these in the future," he said. Randal R. Sadler Stadium was opened on Saturday, March 8, 2014.

"Randy is huge for this program and him being here to throw out the first pitch means a lot. It's really exciting for us to have this field."

Construction subcontractors celebrate Texas Supreme Court decision preventing erosion of CGL coverage ALEXANDRIA, Va. — In a highly anticipated decision, the Supreme Court of Texas agreed with a contractor that its agreement to per- form a construction project "in a good and workmanlike manner did not en- large its obligations and was not an 'assumption of liability' within the meaning of the [contractor's insur- ance] policy's contractual liability ex- clusion." Contractors in Texas and across the country were keeping a close eye on the outcome of the case of Ewing Construction Co., Inc. v.

In its Jan. 17 opinion, the Texas Supreme Court wrote: "[W]e conclude that a general contractor who agrees to perform its construction work in a good and workmanlike manner, with- out more, does not enlarge its duty to exercise ordinary care in fulfilling its continued on page 13
