Warning Trends


Public sector demand slumps as the government enters shutdown

  • On October 1, the US federal government entered a shutdown after negotiations for a new appropriations bill failed.
  • During a government shutdown, essential federal government operations, such as law enforcement, air-traffic control, and social security, persist, while nonessential operations are paused and workers involved in these operations are furloughed. Thus, the current shutdown is expected to result in 750,000 federal workers being furloughed, representing a $400 million reduction in daily expenditure by the federal government.
  • This significant reduction in federal spending and operations will affect the entire US economy, weakening aggregate demand and slowing economic growth. For example, the 35-day government shutdown in Q1, 2019, reduced aggregate demand in both the public and private sectors, resulting in a 0.2% reduction in GDP growth that quarter.
  • The effects of the shutdown are likely to be most acute in markets where the public sector is a major buyer segment, weakening demand and increasing average vendor risk by destabilizing important revenue streams.
  • As negotiations for a new appropriations bill to reopen the government remain ongoing, ProcurementIQ will continue to monitor the situation and update this story with the latest information.

Cost Analysis - Total Cost of Ownership for Concrete Pumping Services

Total cost of ownership is Medium in the Concrete Pumping Services market. The average cost of ownership differs depending on the contract but generally includes costs negotiated before the contract begins, costs billed during the contract period and unforeseen costs. For example, unforeseen costs in the form of Hidden Fees may raise the total cost of ownership unexpectedly.

Billed During

Additional Fees

Buyers can incur a fuel surcharge for orders delivered outside a determined distance from the service provider (usually 10.0% of the service price). Additionally, buyers may incur extra costs if they order the services on short notice, as an expedited fee may be applied to the total bill.

Unforeseen

Hidden Fees

While many providers of concrete pumping services offer pricing options that encompass all the costs related to concrete production and delivery, some operators charge separately for related services. As such, in addition to the actual price of concrete pumping, buyers often have to pay for related services offered by concrete contractors, including concrete leveling, formwork, finishing, and reinforcement, also known as rebar.

Delays

Furthermore, additional costs associated with construction project delays can be incurred if services are not delivered on time.

Emergencies

Additionally, buyers may incur extra costs if they order the services on short notice, as an expedited fee may be applied to the total bill.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis

Vendor risk among vendors is moderate due to the fragmented nature of the market. Because many providers serve a limited geographic market, any drop in demand from their key buyers can subject them to higher financial risk.

Market share concentration is low despite the high fixed costs associated with transportation, cement, equipment, and complex machinery, which have increased the barriers to entry for new suppliers. Traditionally, the market has always been composed of local suppliers.

The supply chain risk associated with concrete pumping services is moderate. Market suppliers are sensitive to fluctuations in the prices of critical items necessary for operations, such as cement and fuel.

The United States is a net importer of cement, indicating the presence of foreign vendors within the domestic market, increasing price-based competition. However, the reliance on foreign-sourced cement increases supply chain risk and the chance of supply disruptions.
