Water Under the Bridge: Fixing Floods at Cosumnes River Granite Construction and Caltrans have partnered to devise a phased construction of several smaller “child” projects leading to the overall “parent” project on this $166.9 million job.
By Ruksana Hussain CEG CORRESPONDENT
Watsonville-based Granite Construction and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) are constructing two new bridge structures to replace the Cosumnes River bridge and the Cosumnes
River Overflow bridge on State Highway 99. The current structures are in need of replacement due to wear and age. The project will improve safety through the state route and replace the existing bridges with structures that meet current design standards and increasing transportation needs along that corridor.
Work began in fall 2019 on the $166.9 million project near the City of Elk Grove in Sacramento County, and is on track to be completed per deadline in 2024, with funding from Senate Bill 1. The scope of work includes the construction of two new bridge structures where the southbound McConnell underpass and the existing northbound

Crews Utilize Management, General Contractor System COSUMNES from page 1
Project Construction The construction process began last year with placing earthen fills to build all the main embankments for the bridge work and placing temporary bridge foundations in order to demolish the existing two bridges. Then precast girders were fabricated, and the temporary bridge superstructures were constructed. In the works now is the construction of the precast girder bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad Bridge, like the one on SR 99 southbound that used to go under the railroad tracks will now go over. The company specializes in both public and private sector transportation infrastructure projects, and has been awarded other Caltrans projects as well, including one on Highway 101. Caltrans and Granite have partnered to devise a phased construction of several smaller “child” projects leading to the overall “parent” project. The contract is negotiated based on time and materials for each individual child project, with an agreement reached, dependent on Caltrans engineers’ estimates and an independent estimator, for work completion costs. Additional work includes removing and replacing the Cosumnes River and River Overflow bridges with the permanent bridges going over the river. The very last installment will be the parent project where everything not included in the child projects will be addressed, such as the final striping, erosion control and embankments. Granite Construction is performing the earthwork, grading, paving and concrete structures while Malcolm Drilling Company Inc. is installing the large diameter cast-indrilled-holes (CIDH) piling. CMC Steel Fabricators has the subcontract to furnish and install the bar reinforcing and precast girders are provided by Con-Fab California LLC, with Maxim Crane erecting the girders as a second-tier subcontractor. Material is supplied by Granite and its subcontractors and includes 45,000 cu. yds. structural concrete, 7,568,000 lbs. bar reinforcing steel and 13,000 LF CIDH concrete piling. Granite’s Senior Project Manager George Delano shared more details on the equipment entailed for a project of this caliber. “The bridge over the UPRR tracks is on a large skew, and the single span bridge resembles a tunnel with 400-foot-long abutments. With no ability to cross the tracks and the need for big picks on the heavily reinforced 35-foot-tall abutments, twin 300-ton crawler cranes will be used to service both sides of the tracks.” Precast girders weighing 83 tons each will be set by Maxim Crane with a Manitowoc MLC300 crawler crane. Some of the picks will require two cranes, and the on-site 300ton crawler will act as the second crane, sav-
With no ability to cross the tracks and the need for big picks on the heavily reinforced 35-ft.-tall abutments, twin 300-ton crawler cranes will be used to service both sides of the tracks.
“That area of SR 99 can sometimes get flooded going southbound under the crossing, so this design is going to allow motorists to not have to encounter those problems anymore,” said Department of Transportation District 3 Public Information Officer Angela DaPrato. Another advantage of the overhead bridge will be reduced accidents, as trucks have previously had close calls driving through given the height restrictions of the bridge.
A ground breaking ceremony was held in 2019.
Work began in fall 2019 on the $166.9 million project near the city of Elk Grove in Sacramento County and is on track to be completed per deadline in 2024.
ing the project the mobilization of another crane. “With potential caving conditions in the floodplain, Malcolm Drilling will use fulllength oscillated temporary casing to protect
the integrity of the CIDH piling and avoid the time and cost impacts of potential repairs,” Delano said. Flooding is one of the issues the new bridge will combat.
Utilizing Construction Management/General Contractor Unique to this project is a new method of project delivery that Caltrans has been implementing called Construction Management/General Contractor (CM/GC). “We get the contractor on board early to help us stage the project and to be able to split it up so we can deliver early,” said Project Manager Martin Clark, who considers this one of the larger bridge replacement construction projects. The typical process of a “design, bid, build” project such as this involves obtaining all the right-of-way and environmental clearances ahead to work on design plans and specs, and then putting the whole package out to bid. But with a CM/GC project, the request for proposals is invited ahead of those steps. For the Cosumnes River and River Overflow bridges, the bidding process began with a request for proposals where three contractors picked for their experience with work of similar nature shared their plan of action to help stage this project. Granite Construction, one of the largest diversified construction and construction materials companies in the country, was awarded the contract. see COSUMNES page 8

Scope of Project Includes Demo, Replacing Two Bridges COSUMNES from page 6
Construction Partners Among the partners collaborating on this project, Union Pacific Railroad played an integral role, as this project is impacting the railroad system, and California Highway Patrol assisted with monitoring the active site area during speed reductions and enforcing safety for motorists, contractors and construction crew. Habitat preservation also has been addressed in working with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to ensure threatened species such as the Swainson's Hawks in the area are monitored daily. There also is paleontology and archaeology monitoring during the structural excavation for the bridge abutments. Water work along the river requires collaborating with the Central Valley Water Resource Control Board and the U.S Army Corps of Engineers for water quality testing. With overall shutdowns across the country due to COVID-19 and the resulting slowdown in traffic volumes, longer work windows played in favor of the project maintaining its schedule. Crews began work shifts earlier in the day with some daylight allowing for motorists to have better visuals of workers and reducing safety concerns.
“This project is pretty complex, be it from stakeholders to equipment to human resources, it is very highly involved,” said Caltrans Resident Engineer Mrudang Shah.
While this section of SR 99 is in a rural area, commuters traveling from Stockton to Sacramento and vice versa frequent this route. Though there haven’t been complete road closures yet, Caltrans did build temporary road alignments to ensure traffic isn’t negatively impacted. Crews are working 10-hour shifts, six days a week with multiple crews on-site

Material for the $166.9 million project is supplied by Granite and its subcontractors and includes 45,000 cu. yds. structural concrete, 7,568,000 lbs. bar reinforcing steel and 13,000 linear ft. of CIDH concrete piling.
depending on tasks. For instance, an average of two crews for earthwork and one for piling, per Caltrans Resident Engineer Mrudang Shah. “This project is pretty complex, be it from stakeholders to equipment to human resources, it is very highly involved,” said Shah. “This is my first CM/GC project with the state so the experience of having the con-
tractor early on the design phase and providing constructive review is definitely worthwhile. The benefit outweighs the cost.” When completed, this bridge replacement project is expected to ensure better freight movement along SR 99, increased safety for motorists and a structural lifespan that will serve well into the future given increasing travel on an integral highway.

Provision Has Largest Dam Demo in U.S. History in Question PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Federal regulators on July 16 threw a significant curveball at a coalition that has been planning for years to demolish four massive hydroelectric dams on a river along the CaliforniaOregon border. The deal, which would be the largest dam demolition project in U.S. history, relies on a delicate calculus: The power company that operates the Klamath River dams will transfer its hydroelectric license and contribute $250 million in order to sever itself from the removal project and avoid any further liability or unanticipated costs. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, however, on July 16 approved the license transfer on the condition that PacifiCorp remain a co-licensee along with the Klamath River Renewal Corporation, the non-profit coalition assembled to oversee the dams’ demolition. That stipulation could kill or drastically alter the deal because removing PacifiCorp from the deal entirely better protects the utility’s ratepayers – an element that was necessary to gain the support from public utility commissions in both Oregon and California. “Although we are generally satisfied that the Renewal Corporation has the capacity to carry out the proposed decommissioning, for the reasons discussed above, we find that the public interest would be best served by approving a partial transfer of the license and requiring PacifiCorp to remain as a colicensee,’’ the commission wrote in a 31page ruling. The commission’s decision could be devastating for Northern California tribes that rely on salmon if it blows up the long-negotiated deal to tear down the dams that block the migration of fish along miles of the Klamath River. In a statement, a coalition of tribes, environmentalists and salmon-fishing interests said although the ruling was a twist, they were optimistic because the commission found that “there is a significant likelihood KRRC will complete the dam removal process without relying on PacifiCorp for additional funding or expertise.” “We can work with this,” Karuk Chairman Russell ‘Buster’ Attebery said. “We understand that we will need to reconvene settlement parties and make adjustments as needed to reflect PacifiCorp’s goals. We remain committed to our partnership with PacifiCorp as we remain committed to Klamath dam removal.” The ruling nonetheless puts PacifiCorp in

an awkward position. The dams currently make up just a small part of the utility’s power portfolio. But under federal law, if it retains the hydroelectric license it will have to pay itself to install fish ladders to help the imperiled salmon return to their spawning grounds upstream – an amount likely far greater than the $250 million now in question. PacifiCorp said in a statement that the ruling denied its customers the protections it had negotiated that were one of the “bedrock principles” of the agreement. The Klamath River Renewal Corporation said in a short statement that it was reviewing the order with its partners to determine the next steps. The project, estimated at nearly $450 million, would reshape California’s secondlargest river and empty giant reservoirs. It could also revive plummeting salmon popu-
lations by reopening hundreds of miles of potential habitat that has been blocked for more than a century, bringing relief to a halfdozen tribes that rely on salmon fishing that are spread across hundreds of miles in southern Oregon and northern California. The transfer of PacifiCorp's hydroelectric license was seen as the first major hurdle to getting the dams removed on the lower reaches of the Klamath River. Federal regulators must also approve a request to decommission the dams before work can begin, possibly as early as 2022. The structures at the center of the debate are the four southernmost dams in a string of six constructed in southern Oregon and far northern California beginning in 1918. They were built solely for power generation. They are not used for irrigation, they are not managed for flood control, and none has “fish ladders,” concrete chutes fish can
pass through. Two dams to the north are not targeted for demolition. Those dams have fish passage and are part of a massive irrigation system that straddles the Oregon-California border and provides water to more than 300 sq. mi. (777 sq km) of alfalfa, potatoes, barley and other crops. The proposal fits into a trend toward dam demolition in the U.S. that has been accelerating as these infrastructure projects age and become less economically viable. The removals are also popular with environmentalists who are fighting for the return of native fish species to rivers long blocked by concrete. More than 1,700 dams have been dismantled around the U.S. since 2012, according to American Rivers, and the Klamath River project would be the largest by far if it proceeds.

New Upgrades to Dodger Stadium Will Protect Legacy By Irwin Rappoport CEG CORRESPONDENT
As part of the Los Angeles Dodgers $100 million stadium upgrades, crews from PCL Construction have ensured to protect the team’s legacy. During renovations, the stadium’s historical elements were protected, including the outfield stands and corrugated metal roofing. “The left and right outfield pavilions were originally constructed as 12 different structures that were tightly grouped together and separated with expansion joints,” said Rorah. “We tied them all together into one structure and added a new concourse on top with new bars, concession stands and restrooms underneath.” Utility issues dealt with underground heating infrastructure and communication elements tied that left and right fields together. “We had to relocate some columns and footings and do some innovative foundation work to make sure we avoided as many utility conflicts as we could as while digging and minimizing the cost impacts from them,” pavilion renovations include new restrooms, enclosed bars with views into the bullpen, the creation of standing room areas at said Rorah. “Nabih Youssef, the The the top of each pavilion, enhanced ADA seating and “home run seats” just beyond the outfield wall. structural engineer, was fantastic to work with on this aspect.
