Commitments and Contingencies |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies Leases— The Company leases certain property and equipment under non-cancellable operating leases which expire at various dates through 2019. The leases require the Company to pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and utilities and are classified as operating leases in accordance with ASC Topic 840 “Leases”. Total lease expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $3,700 and $7,545, respectively, compared to $2,517 and $4,759 for the same periods in 2012. The amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 included lease payments made to related parties of $398 and $797, respectively, and $323 and $648 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. Letters of credit— At June 30, 2013, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $9,023 and at December 31, 2012, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $6,168. The outstanding amounts include the U.S. dollar equivalents for letters of credit issued in Canadian dollars. Litigation— The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings arising out of its business. Management believes that the Company has meritorious defenses to such claims. Although management is unable to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, after review and consultation with counsel and taking into consideration relevant insurance coverage and related deductibles, management believes that the outcome of these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company. Bonding— At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had bid and completion bonds issued and outstanding totaling approximately $1,388,279 and $1,298,589, respectively. Withdrawal liability for multiemployer pension plan— In November 2011, Rockford and ARB, along with other members of the Pipe Line Contractors Association (“PLCA”), withdrew from the Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund multiemployer pension plan (the “Plan”). In connection with the withdrawal, the Company has recorded an estimated liability of $7,500 based on information provided by the Plan. The Company withdrew from the Plan in order to mitigate its liability in connection with the Plan, which is significantly underfunded. The Plan has asserted that the PLCA members did not affect a withdrawal in 2011, although the Company believes that a legally effective withdrawal occurred in November 2011 and has recorded the withdrawal liability on that basis. If the Plan were to prevail in its assertion and the withdrawal of the Company were deemed to occur after 2011, the amount of any withdrawal liability could increase. Prior to its acquisition, Q3C had also withdrawn from the Plan. In November 2012, Q3C estimated a withdrawal liability of $85. Subsequently, in the first quarter of 2013, the Plan asserted that the liability was $119. Without agreeing to the amount, Q3C is making payments toward the liability amount. Contingent Consideration— Earnouts related to acquisitions are discussed in Note 8 — Business Combinations and Note 13 — Contingent Earnout Liabilities.
