City’s Growth Spurs Creation of Atlanta’s First Dedicated DOT

By Chuck MacDonald CEG CORRESPONDENT

Experts predict that Atlanta’s population of almost 500,000 will more than double in the coming decades, with the metropolitan area adding 2.5 million people by 2040. This increase is similar to moving the entire city of Charlotte, N.C., into the metro borders.

To help cope with this growth and the resulting infrastructure needs, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms established the city’s first dedicated Department of Transportation (DOT) in June. She hopes the move will streamline the efforts of three city transportation-related units, creating a one-stop shop for projects, workers and citizens.

“Every aspect of our mass transit system must be improved in order for our city to meet the demands of our growing communities,” Mayor Bottoms said.

“Improving mobility not only makes it easier to get around Atlanta — it helps level the playing field for all

Atlantans to thrive and get ahead in a 21st century economy. This newly created office provides a space for experts to convene and strategize how we can implement greater efficiency and support the transportation needs of residents.”

The new DOT was launched with $750,000 for hiring key leaders and community engagement. Jacob Tzegaegbe, senior transportation policy advisor, estimates that the new Atlanta DOT will be responsible for a budget of $50 million within the next 18 months and encompass 350 people. “Change is happening at a rapid pace and our infrastructure needs are multiplying quickly,” Tzegaegbe explained. “In addition to managing regular transportation modes, we need to make allowances for increasing use of ride sharing, electric transportation and micro-mobility choices like scooters, bikes, etc.”

The newly created Atlanta DOT will have oversight for a variety of assignments. Smaller projects would see ATLANTA page 8

ty-driven projects, anticipates that the structure will receive a 3.1 Living Building Challenge certification. The building is slated to become the most environmentally advanced education and research building on a college campus in the Southeast.

On a practical note, the building is officially named The Kendeda Building for Innovative Design and will be used for education, research and outreach opportunities. It will feature two 64-person classrooms, two 24-person class labs, two 16-person class labs, a 16-person conference room, a 176-person auditorium, makerspace, rooftop apiary and pollinator garden as well as office space for co-located programs and a coffee cart.

CEG CORRESPONDENT

Nearing completion after two years of construction, the Living Building at Georgia Tech University sets the bar for green buildings by becoming the first structure in the state certified under the Living Building Challenge, the world’s most rigorous green building certification standard. Georgia Tech is using this project to demonstrate how its thoughtful stewardship of resources and innovative thinking can benefit future generations.

Funded by their largest single grant ever awarded — $25 million for design and construction, with another $5 million for support activities — The Kendeda Fund, a private family foundation based in Atlanta, Ga., that focuses on communi-

GUCA’s 2018-19 Lifetime Industry Achievement Award The Georgia Utility Contractors Association Inc. (GUCA) presented Gwinnett resident John D. Stephens of JDS Holdings, LLC, Lawrenceville, Ga., with the GUCA Lifetime Industry Achievement Award for 2018-2019 at the 2019 GUCA Annual Conference in Destin, Fla. Gov. Brian Kemp gave a commendation for this lifetime achievement.

John D. Stephens, JDS Holdings, LLC, has exhibited the strongest qualities of leadership to the utility construction industry throughout his lifetime.

Stephens is a native of Georgia, born and raised in Gwinnett County and was part of the first graduating class of South Gwinnett High School in 1958.

He resides in Snellville, Ga., with his wife Beverly and has five children and ten grandchildren.

Stephens is an active supporter of many charitable causes — Georgia Gwinnett College, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, the Shepherd Center, Gwinnett Medical Center, Boy Scouts of America, HiHope Service Center in Lawrenceville and the Gwinnett Children’s Shelter.

He bought his first backhoe and started John D. Stephens Inc. installing septic tanks in Gwinnett County. John D. Stephens Inc. became a full-service heavy civil pipeline and environmental infrastructure construction company doing work in more than 13 different states. The company took on the largest water pipeline projects of its time in the state of Texas, the O.H. Ivie Pipeline.

Stephens also completed his first John D. Stephens of JDS Holdings, LLC Atlanta Airport project in 1978.

Stephens MDS was formed and began acquiring more than 485 acres of property adjacent to the airport to provide 17 million cu. yds. of fill material for the 5th runway embankment and was noted as the “Most Important Runway in America.” As this project neared completion, Stephens recognized that the residential and commercial development trends in the region would produce a demand for a sustainable waste management facility. Stephens teamed with Bill Hodges of Hodges, Harbin, Newberry & Tribble Inc., a Georgiabased civil and environmental engineering consulting firm, and proceeded with the unique design and operation of a Construction & Demolition Landfill and Processing/Recycling Facility, as well as a granite quarry operation south of the airport. The site continues to provide millions of tons of virgin aggregate and fill material, as well as a variety of recycled aggregate products to the air- John D. Stephens accepts GUCA’s 2018-19 Lifetime Industry Achievement Award.

port’s many expansion projects, as well as many other commercial and private projects.

Stephens was instrumental in helping form Button Gwinnett Savings and Loan in 1986 and serves on the Gwinnett Community Board for the United Community Bank. He’s also the majority owner of Byrd & Flanigan Crematory and Funeral Service in Lawrenceville, Ga. Stephens’ leadership and guidance has been instrumental to numerous organizations, including the Board of Trustees and founder of Georgia Gwinnett College, the Board of Directors of the Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce, the Georgia Utility Contractors Association and the Georgia Board of Industry, Trade, and Tourism.

Stephens has been recognized with numerous honors and accolades, including the Citizen of the Year Award in 2006, the Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful Environmental Legacy Award in 2007 and the naming of the Gwinnett County Chamber of Commerce Education Center in his honor.

Over the many years of doing business, Stephens has met countless people from past and future employees, business leaders, project engineers to consultants and many he remains friends with to this day. These long-lasting friendships and relationships have been vital in the success of the many businesses operated by John D. Stephens.

One of Stephens’ favorite quotes is from Zell Miller, “A Turtle cannot get on top of a fence post by itself.” This ties to his most personal motto that people are a company’s most important asset, and the only difference between success and failure is people.

This type of work ethic and service model is what makes Stephens the GUCA Lifetime Industry Achievement Award.

Georgia Utility Contractors Association Inc. is a non-profit state trade association located in metro Atlanta representing more than 390 contractors and affiliated firms statewide. GUCA represents the workforce who supplies, installs and rehabilitates the infrastructure of water, sewer, gas, electrical, telecommunications and other underground utility systems for the public and private sector including pipe and plant installation.

Ga. Tech Anticipates 3.1 Living Building Challenge Cert

Nearly complete, the “Living Building” at Georgia Tech University is set to become the first structure in the state certified under the Living Building Challenge, the world’s most rigorous green building certification standard.

TECH from page 1

The Details The building will consist of approximately 47,000 sq. ft. of programmable space, which includes nearly 37,000 sq. ft. of enclosed space. Public outdoor learning space includes an outdoor porch area (2,618 sq. ft.) and an accessible roof deck (1,000 sq. ft.). The roof garden (4,347 sq. ft.) will contain the honeybee apiary, pollinator garden and blueberry orchard.

The remaining space (1,905 sq. ft.) is for loading and bike storage. The estimated cost per square foot is $397, based on total programmed space.

Exactly 915 solar panels are being installed on the canopy over the building’s roof as the permanent power source. The projected energy use intensity is 34 kBTU/SF/YR, which is 66 percent more efficient than the average building of the same size and occupancy.

The 330 kW (DC) solar array is expected to provide more than 450,000 kWh per year, which is more than 105 percent of the power needed for the building. The photovoltaic array is designed to generate 40 EUI, which will offset the building’s 34 EUI. By producing more energy than the building consumes, the systems generate a net-positive energy facility, making this one of the first net-positive buildings in the Southeast.

A potable water system will collect rainwater on the roof and send it to the basement for treatment, after which it will be stored in a 50,000-gal. cistern until needed.

By the Numbers Georgia Tech manages the project on its campus, welcoming input from The Kendeda Fund, architects Lord Aeck Sargent of Atlanta and Seattle’s Miller Hull Partnership, and the construction team headed by Skanska USA. Additional input comes from landscaper Andropogon; mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer PAE and Newcomb & Boyd; greywater systems specialist Biohabitats; civil engineer Long Engineering; and structural engineer Uzun & Case.

Subcontractors include Dennis Taylor and Company for excavation, Greater Georgia Concrete, Batchelor & Kimball for HVAC and plumbing, Southeastern Steel and Universal Timber Structures.

Work began in February 2018 on Georgia Tech’s Atlanta campus, with a daily average of about 50 workers on site and a peak of 100, according to Matthew Williams, Skanska project manager.

Work began in February 2018 on the Atlanta campus, with a daily average of about 50 workers on site and a peak of 100, according to Matthew Williams, Skanska project manager.

Skanska used a 120-ton road crane to set the rooftop air handling unit, and a smaller crane to set the structure, Williams reports. Several telehandlers were used, ranging from 60-ft. booms to a 120-ft. boom for installation of skin elements around the tight project site.

Additional equipment utilized on the site for excavation and concrete activities included compactors, excavators, a front loader, concrete trucks, pumper trucks and skid steers.

One of the challenges of the project has been space, of which there is little on site.

“To overcome this challenge, we’ve coordinated subcontractors to share lifts and equipment on site to reduce the clutter of large machinery and scheduled the logistics of bringing equipment in and out constantly,” Williams said.

Wood is the primary structural element of the building because it has one-sixth of the embodied carbon of steel or concrete.

Wet site conditions also have been a challenge. “We’ve isolated areas after rain events and utilized stone as much as possible to minimize de-mucking tasks,” Williams added.

Timeline Fortunately, wet weather has not impacted the timeline of the Living Building. Work proceeds on schedule, with substantial completion expected in 2019. Classes begin in January 2020 and certification is expected in 2021, or after at least 12 months of consecutive performance after full occupation.

“There were no requirements for work around university classes,” Williams said, “but we were asked to perform site tours for Georgia Tech staff and public groups who signed up through Georgia Tech. We’ve worked long hours and weekends to complete the project.”

Materials In order to meet Living Building Challenge requirements, the team is following Materials Petal guidelines in sourcing Red List-free materials. The intent of the Materials Petal is to use non-toxic, ecologically restorative supplies. In addition to avoiding Red List items, imperatives include tracking embodied carbon from construction; using salvaged materials and responsibly sourced wood and stone; striving to eliminate waste during construction; and sourcing materials from local industries. Thus, the Kendeda Building intentionally selected a limited materials palette — mostly wood, with limited use of steel and concrete — and chose to leave several systems exposed in order to limit unnecessary and potentially harmful materials.

The Red List is a list of 22 worst-in-class materials or chemicals that pose the greatest risk to human and ecosystem health. Some commonly recognizable items include asbestos, formaldehyde, lead, mercury and PVC. The goal is to eliminate their use. Living Building Challenge-certified projects cannot contain Red List materials or chemicals.

To avoid the use of these materials, the design-build team thoroughly vetted the proposed materials during design phases by selecting and specifying products that are documented as being free of Red List materials or chemicals. see TECH page 6

‘Living Building’ Utilizes Local Sustainable Materials TECH from page 4

The Embodied Carbon Footprint Imperative strives to minimize a project’s carbon footprint — the carbon that is associated with the materials used to construct the building. In addition, the imperative aims to offset the environmental impact of the project’s construction process.

To meet this imperative, the design-build team incorporated carbon reduction strategies early in the project’s design phase. For example, with The Kendeda Building, wood is the primary structural element because it has one-sixth of the embodied carbon of steel or concrete.

Accountability Throughout the project’s development, the team must account for the total embodied carbon impact from its construction through a one-time carbon offset purchased from an approved carbon offset provider.

At the end of construction, the project

In order to meet Living Building Challenge requirements, the team is following Materials Petal guidelines in sourcing Red Listfree materials.

Living Building Challenge-certified projects must feature at least one salvaged material per 500 square meters of gross building area.

Several telehandlers were used by the construction crew, ranging from 60-ft. booms to a 120-ft. boom for installation of skin elements around the tight project site.

Georgia Tech is using this project to demonstrate how its thoughtful stewardship of resources and innovative thinking can benefit future generations.

The Kendeda Building is slated to become the most environmentally advanced education and research building on a college campus in the Southeast.

team must use an approved calculator to determine the project’s construction-based embodied-carbon footprint and purchase Certified Emission Reductions or Verified Emission Reductions from an acceptable Green-e Climate verified program to offset 100 percent of that footprint.

Living Economy Sourcing Imperative also supports local economies, in addition to minimizing environmental impacts associated with the transportation of products and people. To achieve that goal, at least 20 percent of materials should be sourced within approximately 311 miles of the project site.

If necessary, an additional 30 percent of materials can be sourced from within approximately 621 miles. If necessary, an additional 25 percent of materials can be sourced from within approximately 3,107 miles. see TECH page 8

Technology Association of Ga. Honors Atlanta’s New DOT TruckIT at 2019 Impact Awards Event to Hold Influence on TruckIT, a construction technology startup specializing in the innovation of on-demand hauling and fleet/dispatch management, was awarded first runner-up by the Technology Association of Georgia’s Southeastern Software Association 2019 Impact Awards (TAG SSA Impact Awards) in the Independent Software Vendor category.

TAG’s SSA Impact Awards recognize companies and their teams that have demonstrated outstanding leadership in bringing new technology solutions to the market. The official awards page notes the SSA Impact Award winners “have built outstanding software solutions that deliver a significantly positive impact on both their customers and business community.”

The TruckIT team attended the SSA 2019 Impact Awards reception at the Georgia Aquarium on June 27. TAG’s President, Larry Williams, and TAG SSA Board Chairman, Brian Benn, were present to congratulate TruckIT as the first runner-up, beating out 13 other applicants and three awards finalists within the Independent Software Vendor category.

TAG’s SSA board members personally nominated a total of 40 Georgia-based tech businesses — all of which varied in offering, size and annual revenue — to apply for the 2019

Impact Awards.

“We strive to hire team members who have an innate moral compass and who are passionate about applying it to their work in order to build the best products available,” said Pace Davis, CEO of TruckIT. “Because of that, the entire TruckIT Team feels both rewarded and motivated knowing our technology is actually improving industry workflows. And we’re beyond privileged to see those results first-hand from a granular, human level as well as from an enterprise-business level. When we were nominated for the Impact Awards, we knew this was the story we wanted to tell the world.”

TruckIT’s apps directly facilitate job creation and fulfillment for hauling companies, drivers, material producers, and general contractors. The technology offers real-time insights and automates manual processes, which allows users to earn back critical hours and focus on scaling their businesses. TruckIT faces the challenge of delivering practical tech solutions for all demographics working within the extremely diverse construction industry. The company keeps all construction professionals in mind when developing its products. 

$500M in Projects ATLANTA from page 1

include activities like filling potholes, resurfacing city streets and maintaining sidewalks and streetlights. The new DOT also will have input on $500 million in tasks that will include bridge replacements and other large undertakings. In addition, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) system will see $2.7 billion for transit projects as the result of a sales tax approved by voters.

“The atmosphere in Atlanta has been receptive to infrastructure changes,” Tzegaegbe said. “People are saying we want more, and we want it faster. This receptivity to infrastructure was demonstrated when citizens passed by wide margins two ballot referenda for investment in infrastructure.”

The new Atlanta DOT unit also will provide input for transportation efforts currently underway — including the Atlanta Transportation Plan (the city’s long-term, comprehensive vision for transportation), the regional transit plan “Concept 3” and the Atlanta Streetcar System. The new DOT also will be tasked with creating access to opportunities for people of various ages, abilities and economic backgrounds to benefit from improved transportation systems.  CEG
