Based in Humboldt County, Mercer Fraser Co is one of the oldest construction companies in California. In 2020, the company celebrated the 150th anniversary of its founding in the city of Eureka. Mercer Fraser Co performs a wide range of civil construction projects and has earned numerous accolades, including the Caltrans Excellence in Partnering Awards.
Headquartered in Sacramento, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), has given its Excellence in Partnering Awards since 2000 to partners that have completed contracts while optimally utilizing the principles of partnering. The annual statewide awards provide a chance to honor stakeholders and celebrate success and knowledge sharing.
Prospective recipients must meet both objective and subjective criteria to be eligible for the award. A jury comprised of Caltrans construction managers and experienced industry executives evaluates the applications. They judge companies based on innovation, conflict resolution, and adherence to the principles of partnering. There are five different levels of recognition, ranging from nominee to best in class.
