Contractors Rejoice at Getting Back Work in the Hub

Jeremy Souza, J.R. Vinagro’s operations manager, Heavy Civil Division, believes the public desire to have life return to normal as much as possible will influence how the state further loosens restrictions on construction.

REOPENING from page 1

18 it followed through on that decision.

The goal is to re-open construction on a wider scale in wake of the pandemic, and general contractors and subcontractors are pleased that a way forward is being initiated toward a return to normal.

Boston’s plan is working in tandem with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Reopening Massachusetts plan. During a May 19 press conference, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh stressed the importance of construction and the need to-open.

“I want to be clear about how Boston is moving forward on major industries and issues in our city, he said. “As of yesterday [May18], the state plan allows construction to restart.

In Boston, we have a phased-in approach with comprehensive health and safety requirements. Work on schools, hospitals, smaller residential projects and open-air construction can restart this week, while other work allowed by the state may resume Tuesday, May 26. In every case, we’re requiring contractors to submit a COVID-19 Safety Plan before returning to work. To help sites meet this requirement, we have hosted virtual safety planning, as well as safety training for inspectors. We have produced a video guide along with other reference materials.

“Already, we’ve had nearly 2,300 safety plans submitted, we’ve trained all our inspectional staff and supplied them with personal protective equipment,” he added. “This plan is a good example of how we are approaching the challenge of

construction defined as essential by the state.”

The goal is to incrementally expand construction work permitted in Boston to align with the state's list of allowed construction work.

Prior to May 18, only essential work was permitted due to the health crisis, which Marty Walsh included: • emergency utility, road or building work, Boston Mayor such as gas leaks, water leaks and sinkholes; • new utility connections to occupied buildings; a safe reopening. We acted early, with a construction pause • mandated building or utility work; to keep workers safe.

Construction Pre-Planning Now More Important Than Ever “The restrictions haven’t affected us, but they have affected companies that we have worked with for many years.”

Jeremy Souza J.R. Vinagro Corp.

REOPENING from page 4

In effect, along with state guidelines, many large projects that employed thousands of construction workers were deemed to be non-essential and thus shut down. This led to temporary layoffs and delays on projects that will have to be made up with work on weekend and at night, should permission be granted, to get back on schedule and meet delivery dates.

A crucial element of the transition for the return to normal was during the week from May 18 to May 25 when the city allowed essential construction, as defined by the state, that meet the following criteria: projects that are in compliance with and have filed a COVID-19 Safety Plan and signed an affidavit; that project sites are sufficiently prepared to adhere to all criteria of their safety plan; and the work is for hospitals, public schools, residential buildings (one to three units), road and utility work, or other outdoor or open-air work, such as steel erection, roofing, and construction foundations.

This definitely opened the door for many road, bridge and infrastructure projects to resume. J.R. Vinagro Corp., a demolition firm, has six ongoing projects in the Greater Boston Area, including the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s Chelsea Viaduct reconstruction and demolition projects in Dorchester and Roxbury.

“The restrictions haven’t affected us, but they have affected companies that we have worked with for many years,” said Jeremy Souza, J.R. Vinagro’s operations manager, Heavy Civil Division. “We haven’t slowed down during the virus outbreak. The loosening of restrictions is long overdue as we have precautions in place to protect people and people should be back at work. Everyone is pretty excited to return to their job sites, but the city’s plan is still kind of vague on the work that can resume — when it can restart and how to reopen sites where non-essential projects were suspended.”

Souza believes the public desire to have life return to normal as much as possible will influence how the state further loosens restrictions on construction.

“People are less precautionary than they were a month ago and are expressing their desire to go back to pre-COVID rou-

the firm is eager to have its crews return to their work sites.

“We believe that a lot of our peers, who have a significant amount of their work in and around the Boston region area, are dealing with similar issues,” said Bill French, Jr., president, W. L. French Excavating Corporation. “The [city’s] Tim Hunt plan that has been released was done so W.L. French Corporation with caution based on facts.

Tom Crose

Monroe Tractor has announced Chris Reseska as branch manager and Tom Crose as a product support representative for its South Windsor, Conn., location.

Reseska brings 35 years of industry experience within several verticals including heavy equipment sales, equipment finance and global auction. With many Connecticut customer relationships already built, Reseska looks forward to introducing Monroe Tractor and its team to Connecticut’s construction industry.

“It’s a great feeling to come full circle having represented Case in the early 1990s. Case is a global force with best inclass equipment across all segments. In my opinion, choosing a ‘brand’ is only one part of the equation, the other decision that needs to be heavily considered is the people within the company that support that product, and Monroe Tractor provides just that,” Reseska said.

“I consider it a privilege to have become a trusted resource and advisor to many within the Connecticut Contractor community, many of which have become my personal friends.

Monroe Tractor’s team is committed to earning your trust in everything we do, we understand that without ‘you,’ there is no ‘us’.”

Crose joins Monroe Tractor with more than eight years of experience working in New England’s machinery and equipment parts and service industry.

“We are excited to welcome Tom to help expand our wide range of services and OEM and aftermarket parts that we offer,” said Scott Erb, director of operations. “The diverse expertise he brings in machinery is an asset to our New England customers.”

Crose looks forward to meeting and assisting customers with the responsive and concise support that is required.

Job Represents Largest State-of-the-Art Lab in Somerville BOYNTON from page 1

(Brett Marshall/Windwood Productions photo)

Shawmut Design and Construction is serving as the general contractor. Construction began in June 2019 and is anticipated to be completed in August 2021. The mass excavation/building footprint, which was completed between September and December, is 118 ft. wide, 239 ft. long and has a depth that is on average between 33 and 38 ft., with the maximum depth being 43 ft.

Boynton Yards, a 3.5-acre site, is located adjacent to cultural amenities at Somerville’s Union Square and Cambridge’s Inman Square, and less than one mile from Kendall Square, the epicenter of the biotech/life science industry. It will be a five-minute walk from the MBTA’s new Green Line Extension (GLX) Union Square subway station.

The project, noted the developers, represents the largest state-of-the-art lab development in Somerville’s growing life science market.

“The mixed-use building will match the quality and specifications of other Class-A lab buildings and will provide advanced lab space geared toward emerging life sciences companies,” the developer said. “101 South Street is the first phase of what is envisioned to be an 18-hour, work-live-play neighborhood offering over one million square feet of W.

DLJ putting in curb and sidewalks.

RECP and LMP are currently developing an overall master plan for the site with the city and its planning staff and engineering teams.”

“More than four years ago, we were drawn to Somerville due to the mayor’s vision to overhaul the zoning with a transformative city-wide masterplan based on community values including diversity, economy and innovation,” said John Fenton, principal of DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners. “We are excited to lead the new future of Somerville with a modern multiphase commercial development. 101 South Street will reflect the culture of the area’s professional and artistic community while delivering on the city’s plans to redevelop Boynton Yards into a vibrant, mixed-use district of lab, research, office, multifamily, neighborhood retail and community arts space.”

The project team for the glass-clad tower includes architects Spagnolo Gisness & Associates and Hashim Sarkis Studios. Initial tenant occupancy is expected in summer 2021.

“The redevelopment of Boynton Yards into a modern, commercial hub has long been envisioned by the city,” said Rob Dickey, executive vice president of LMP. “This is a great example of how strong civic leadership, community support and private investment can result in strong economic development.”

The area, between Windsor Place and Harding Street — north of and adjacent to South Street — is being transformed from one consisting of parking lots and industrial buildings.

W. L. French, as a subcontractor, has played a key role. In addition to excavating the hole, it is installing the infrastructure for water, drainage, sewer, electrical and telecommunications, as well as the restoration of the road, putting in curb and sidewalks.
