As part of an official land swap, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is making plans to relocate to a modern facility.

Construction of the department’s new headquarters is under way, with the move coming not a moment too soon.

“The existing Highway District 3 administration building was constructed in 1954,” said Patrick Marvin, MassDOT spokesperson. “It’s in need of repair and is unable to effectively serve personnel, as many Construction of the new Massachusetts Department of Transportation employees are based in mobile (MassDOT) headquarters is under way. trailers outside the building.”

The new headquarters will be four levels, with lower and MassDOT received a parcel on Plantation Parkway in upper parking lots. The existing structure resides on Belmont Worcester, in exchange for the Belmont Street property.

Street in Worcester, which is in the middle of the UMass MassDOT is building the new administration building on the Medical Center campus. Because the property is adjacent to Plantation Parkway land.

“The site of the new building is less than two miles away the medical school and hospital, it’s considered an ideal from the existing building,” said Marvin. “MassDOT staff location for a future facility offering health care services.

O&G Industries’ Heavy Civil Construction Group recently won the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers (CSCE) Construction ACE Award of Merit and the Transportation ACE Award of Merit for the Rehabilitation of the Route 175 Bridge in Newington, Conn.

The project, awarded by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, was one of the first accelerated bridge construction projects completed in the state.

Accelerated bridge construction is a process by which a bridge is largely pre-fabricated off site, then “installed” during short windows of time to reduce the impact to motorists, AMTRAK service on the rail line beneath the bridge and accelerate overall time to completion.

The Route 175 project was completed in only five months using this design-build methodology, while limiting lane closures to two weekends in late summer. Construction on the project began in May of 2017 and was completed in the fall of 2017.

The project also has been recognized with the Connecticut Building Congress (CBC) Project Team Award of Merit in the Transportation/Civil/Utilities category.

About O&G Industries Inc. O&G is general contractor, construction manager, design/builder and specialty sub-contractor with nearly a century of experience in commercial building, power plant, road and bridge and site construction. It serves clients in educational, healthcare, industrial manufacturing, transportation, power and municipal markets throughout the Unites States. O&G is headquartered in Torrington, Conn.

Newbury Contractor Pursues Dream of Working Outside

The GCS Group Services Inc. team.

“I had this dream to work outside. My mother helped me buy a truck and I started that first year by myself.”

Fred Guimaraes GCS Group Services Inc.

GCS Group Services Inc. in Newbury, Mass., focuses on high-quality services dealing with landscape, landscape design, construction and stone management for New England. The company has been in business for nine years.

Co-owner Fred Guimaraes describes himself as a “dreamy type of person.” When he came into the United States and started working at a Burger King, he didn’t speak English, but started to learn when he met his wife.

“I had this dream to work outside,” he said. “My mother helped me to buy a truck and I started that first year by myself. I did snow that first year, and then my second year I called my brother and said let’s make this bigger; and we are here now, nine years later.

It’s like a roller coaster but we are surviving.”

Fred stated that as the company continues to grow, he is the person outside on the job

site making sure their service is still the same as it was at the beginning, because he wants to make his customers happy.

He remembers his first encounter with a Northland JCB’s sales representative.

“When Ryan Sears first came in here, it was to try to sell us JCB skid steers,” Fred said. “At that time, I wasn’t buying JCB. But Ryan never gave up. He would still come in and visit us and we built a friendship. Then,

one time, we needed an excavator for a job, so we called Ryan and he came in and explained everything about the 48Z miniexcavator. We purchased the 48Z and as we began to use it we found that it was easy to use and that it helped us a lot on the job site.”

Fred’s brother Frank is co-owner of the company with him and operates the equipment.

“With landscape construction, our needs

for equipment are very high, and as we were shopping around for a mini-excavator JCB came to us with a 48Z, which is an amazing machine,” he said. “I wouldn’t go back. I think we made a great decision going for the 48Z, which is a smaller machine, but being a compact mini-excavator, it does the job more than any other machine that I’ve run. It gets into tight places; it’s easy to operate.

We’ve never had a problem with digging, removing stumps, doing drainage work, or excavating for patios, walkways, or driveways.”

Frank explained that he came across the 409 articulated compact wheel loader over the past winter. He was apprehensive because the company was facing a contract with Stop & Shop and needed a loader right away. When he called Sears, he asked him if he thought he would need something bigger.

“Instead of selling me something bigger, he suggested that I use the JCB 409 articulated compact wheel loader,” Frank said “The JCB 409 has delivered to every spec that he sold to me and was able to take on Stop & Shop and have never had a problem.

When the snow was heavy, we were able to move all of the snow with a 10-foot pusher without any problems.”

Kristine Guimaraes works in the office at GCS Services, handling customer relations, invoices and everyday phone calls. She remembers Sears coming into the office numerous times prior to GCS buying any JCB equipment.

“He was very persistent on what he wanted us to buy,” she said. “He wanted us to get a good machine. Ryan is an overall good guy and I’m glad he never gave up. We’ve got some good machines and excellent service see GCS page 20

Vineyard Wind Picked to Negotiate Offshore Wind Contracts Vineyard Wind, which seeks to build the first large-scale offshore wind farm in the United States, released the following statement in response to the announcement by the Massachusetts Electric Distribution Companies (EDCs) that the company’s proposed 800 megawatt (MW) wind farm and electricity transmission project will advance as a preferred solution in the Massachusetts Green Communities Act Section 83C RFP for offshore wind energy projects.

“Vineyard Wind is proud to be selected to lead the new Massachusetts offshore wind industry into the future,” said Lars Thaaning Pedersen, CEO of Vineyard Wind.

“Today’s announcement reflects the strong commitment to clean energy by Governor Baker and the Massachusetts Legislature. We are grateful for the time and commitment shown by many stakeholders, including Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Matthew Beaton and Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources Commissioner Judith Judson. All parties successfully guided the state’s electric distribution companies in carrying forth the requirements of a clean energy law that assures significant benefits for every resident in Massachusetts.

“We look forward to working with the Commonwealth, the communities of the Cape, Islands and South Coast, and all stakeholders in together fully realizing the enormous opportunity of offshore wind.”

Vineyard Wind is a joint venture of Avangrid Renewables, a subsidiary of AVANGRID Inc. which is majority owned by Iberdrola S.A., and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) each of which own 50 percent of Vineyard Wind.

“Vineyard Wind’s partners are eager to deliver an offshore wind project that will provide the Commonwealth with abundant clean energy resources for decades to come,” said Laura Beane, president and CEO of Avangrid Renewables.

“Today’s announcement serves to further illustrate the AVANGRID companies’ commitment to deliver value and opportunity in a region that is determined to address complex energy challenges through significant investments in clean energy infrastructure.

Avangrid Renewables is excited to play a substantial role in the Vineyard Wind joint venture, which is poised to support hun-

dreds of operations and maintenance jobs and create thousands of construction jobs while launching an exciting new industry in Massachusetts.”

“The Vineyard Wind team is honored to be chosen to provide clean wind energy for communities across Massachusetts,” said Torsten Lodberg Smed, senior partner of Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.

Department of Energy Resources (DOER) allows all parties to begin negotiations to secure all necessary transmission services and power purchase agreements to facilitate the delivery of offshore wind electricity to Massachusetts customers. Once satisfactory contract terms are secured, those documents will be submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities for formal review as set forth in the in the 83C process.

Vineyard Wind is the only offshore wind farm developer to begin both the state and federal permitting processes by filing an Environmental Notification Form (ENF) and Construction and Operations plan in December 2017.

Vineyard Wind’s early timeline was designed to maximize the abundant environmental, economic and energy benefits associated with utilityscale wind energy for Bay State residents and businesses. Vineyard Wind will continue to refine the Laura Beane project design and approach as it Avangrid Renewables receives additional comments from regulators and stakeholders.

tor thrive together in the decades ahead.

With passage of An Act to Promote Energy Diversity in 2016, Massachusetts required the state’s EDCs to procure 1,600 megawatts (MW) of clean, offshore wind energy within the next decade, resulting in intense competition among offshore wind lease holders for long-term contracts with utilities in Massachusetts. The addition of 1,600 MW of low-carbon wind generation capacity will provide enough clean, homegrown energy to power the equivalent of more than 750,000 Massachusetts homes every year.

Vineyard Wind recently took another significant step in its effort to build the first large-scale offshore wind farm in the United States by submitting the project’s Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) with state regulators. The filing advances the company’s proposal to construct an 800-megawatt (MW) wind farm 15 mi. south of Martha’s Vineyard while maintaining Vineyard Wind’s early timetable to begin construction in 2019 and become operational by 2021. When completed, the Vineyard Wind project will reduce Massachusetts’ carbon emissions by more than 1.6 million tons per year, the equivalent of removing 325,000 cars from state roads.

Vineyard Wind’s proposal committed $15 million to three initiatives designed to make Massachusetts the center of the American offshore wind industry. The commitment includes a $10 million Wind Accelerator Fund to accelerate the development of an offshore wind supply chain, businesses, and infrastructure in the Bay State by attracting investments to upgrade or create necessary facilities and/or infrastructure.

The $2 million Windward Workforce program will recruit, mentor and train residents of Massachusetts, particularly southeast Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands, for careers in the Commonwealth’s new offshore wind as part of an effort to build a skilled offshore wind workforce centered in southeastern Massachusetts. The $3 million Marine Mammals and Wind Fund will fund development and demonstration of innovative methods and technologies to enhance protections for marine mammals as the offshore wind industry continues to grow.

“When Seaview Equipment was presented with the opportunity to represent the Engcon brand, we felt it would complement our line of excavators and offer our customers a great solution for various projects,” said Paulo Lage, general manager of Seaview Equipment LLC. “For example, road projects would allow an end user to need less equipment on site, reduce work and down time and use less man power, which in turn generates more revenue. Since partnering with Engcon, we have seen a substantial amount of phone inquiries come our way.”

Among the Engcon line being carried by Seaview are tiltrotators, which help reduce the need for repositioning an excavator, reducing work time, wear on the excavator and fuel consumption.

space or streets with a tiltrotator on the excavator. You can reduce the manpower and then you get a safer workplace. Reduced need of closing streets and reduced need of manual manpower means that you save lot of money.

“The precision of digging also reduces trenched material and the amount of refill material,” Stromgren said.

The tiltrotator also works in conjunction with an assortment of tools, including pallet forks, grapplers, compactor plates and grading beams.

“Many customers say the excavator will be like a Swiss Army Knife with an Engcon tiltrotator,” Stromgren said, adding “You will also find new ways to use the excavator when you have the tiltrotator on it.”

Seaview Equipment is a full-service dealer of Hyundai Construction Equipment, Yanmar and ASV skid steers/track loaders, and now Engcon.

Study to Begin on Enhanced Commuter Rail Service RAIL from page 1

provide improved travel options to residents and commuters.”

“Our administration is proud of the collaborative work we have done to improve the Commonwealth’s transportation infrastructure in cities and towns throughout Massachusetts,” said Lieutenant Gov. Karyn Polito. “These investments will provide more reliable service across the region, helping travelers better reach the places they need to go.”

“I have always believed that improved and enhanced rail service between Springfield and Boston has the potential to be a game changer for our region. That’s why I thank Governor Baker for coming to Union Station today to announce that he is authorizing a comprehensive study on the feasibility of east-west rail. It will build on the study of local rail service funded by the Federal Railroad Administration that former Congressman John Olver and I requested in 2006. With the debut of expanded passenger rail service between New Haven and Springfield, these two significant projects will help grow our economy and greatly improve the quality of life in the region.

Investing in our transportation infrastructure will benefit people across the entire

Commonwealth of Massachusetts,” said Congressman Richard E. Neal (D-MA).

“I’m excited by the progress announced today, and confident that today’s decision to study east-west passenger rail — paired with expanded service in the Pioneer Valley — will help boost economic vitality and growth not just in Western Massachusetts, but throughout the Commonwealth,” said Congressman Jim McGovern (D-MA).

The Request for Proposals will enable the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to carry out an extensive study over approximately 18 months, and analyze many aspects and options for potential east-west passenger rail service. In addition to studying potential passenger service from Springfield to Boston, the study will look at potential origins farther west such as Pittsfield and Palmer. This will include engaging with stakeholders and evaluating the potential costs, speed, infrastructure needs and ridership of potential passenger rail service throughout this corridor.

The Baker-Polito Administration also announced that a term sheet has been finalized with the Connecticut Department of Transportation which will enable the start of passenger rail service between Springfield and Greenfield beginning on a pilot basis in

spring 2019. Under the agreement, MassDOT will fund the cost and management of the pilot service, which will be operated by Amtrak and conclude in fall 2021.

The pilot will provide two round trips each day and make stops at stations in Greenfield, Northampton, Holyoke and Springfield. Southbound service will be provided in the morning hours and northbound in the evenings. This pilot service will leverage the MassDOT-owned Knowledge Corridor, which is currently used by Amtrak’s Vermonter service, and the recently renovated Springfield Union Station.

Meanwhile, the new 62-mi. Hartford Line began operating on June 16, with trains running approximately every 45 minutes between Springfield and several cities and towns in Connecticut including Windsor Locks, Windsor, Hartford, Berlin, Meriden, Wallingford and New Haven. This expanded service is in addition to the existing Amtrak service throughout this corridor.

“Carrying out a comprehensive study on east-west passenger rail will allow us to have a rigorous, fact-based discussion regarding options for potential service,” said Transportation Secretary Pollack. “Many legislators, local and regional officials and business leaders called for such a study and

we are pleased to take a step in advancing this planning for future service.”

“MassDOT is pleased to announce initiatives supporting efforts to enhance passenger rail service to communities in Western Massachusetts, with the issuance of an RFP for studying the potential of east-west passenger service and the announcement of the north-south rail pilot,” said MassDOT Rail and Transit Administrator Astrid Glynn.

“We look forward to continuing to work with our local and regional partners, such as the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission and Franklin County Council of Governments, on both of these important initiatives.”

Mayor Domenic J. Sarno said, “I deeply appreciate Governor Baker’s continued efforts to not only better connect us through the North-South corridor, but also his efforts to explore better overall ways to connect us to a feasible and sustainable east-west corridor mechanism. He’s been a great friend and partner to me and to Springfield’s needs.”

GCS Group Services Looks to JCB to Fill Equipment Needs GCS from page 6

out of his persistence.”

Frank stated that JCB and Northland JCB have been great to work with.

“We first purchased the 409 back in December,” he said. “It was backordered, and a snowstorm came. Ryan Sears was a hero because he gave us the 407 right away. Within two days, the 407 was parked at our location and I was able to get the job done. He allowed me to keep the 407 to use until the 409 arrived, which was a huge help. I don’t think anyone else in the industry would have done that for us. I have to say that the experience I have had with Northland JCB it is amazing.”

Joe Klufts has been with GCS Services for four years, and remembers that in the beginning, it was an all hands-on deck kind of company. He helped out (L-R): Joe Klufts, Fred Guimaraes, Frank Guimaraes and Kristen Guimaraes. in any way that he could. Now, he typically handles a lot of the client services.

“We service residential, commercial and condo, and I’m typically the point of contact for all our sales and project design/project management,” he said.

Over the past three years, the construction division has grown substantially, which resulted in the need for a JCB excavator.

“Our snow management division has also increased over the years, and with every year JCB has been extremely flexible with getting us the machines we need very fast, especially when contract turnaround is typically something that can happen overnight, and you need a new machine,” Klufts said. “The salesman at JCB has really helped us. Ryan has always been very supportive and quick to get us answers and turnaround.

“As we get bigger, there is really no end game to the size of the company,” he said.

For GCS, the main focus has always been quality.

“We don’t ever want to become the company that just gets in and gets out,” Klufts said.

“With one of the owners who handles our quality control, we consistently go above and beyond. Our client retention rate is well over 90 percent because at the end of the day, that’s really what it all comes down to; it’s all about our client focus.”

Klufts said that they have a good eye for design and are able to provide a landscape design that is customized to a property, both functional and making maintenance easier.

“I think because of that onestop shopping, its non-stop growth,” he said. “We have a hard time fielding the amount of client call-ins that we receive, and the referrals just keep coming.

So, it’s a good problem to have, and I think in the near future, I can see us expanding down into Rhode Island and up in to New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.”

Fred’s passion shows when he talks about his business philosophy.

“You can make money, but you don’t have to be like the bigger corporations,” he said. “I’m really emotional because I have this passion to be a big company, but I don’t want to be like everybody else out there. I want to be a great landscape company. I want to go out and do my job faster and make money, but I want to make sure my customer is happy about us.”

He noted that sometimes customers don’t have loyalty because they are going with a company who will do a job for less money.

They fail to see the hard work that is being done.

“I don’t want to be like everybody else,” Fred said. “I want to be better. I want my company to be huge — I want to franchise.

But I don’t want to be like corporations that don’t care about the customers. They only care about get in, get out. If they lose a customer, they just say, ‘OK, I’ll get somebody else.’ I am not that way. I like to build a relationship with a customer.”

Meat Company Plans $100M Facility in Rhode Island Gov. Gina M. Raimondo made a major jobs announcement representing new opportunities for Rhode Islanders at all skill levels.

In all, partnerships were approved with four companies bringing a total of more than 2,000 permanent jobs, $800 million in private development and more than 1,000 construction jobs to Rhode Island. Over 15 years, these four projects will add $118 million in new net revenue to the state.

Infinity Meat Solutions LLC will create 700 new food manufacturing and distribution jobs in Rhode Island. The company plans to build a new $100 million, 200,000 sq. ft. processing facility, which will support hundreds of additional construction jobs.

Raimondo also announced that iXblue, a maritime navigation manufacturer, is moving more than 20 jobs to Rhode Island from Massachusetts. After jobs are created in Rhode Island, the company will be eligible for an estimated $100,000 in Qualified Jobs incentives each year for up to 10 years. (add)ventures, an established Rhode Island marketing and communications firm, is expanding and hiring additional staff. The company will be eligible for an estimated $26,000 in Qualified Jobs incentives for up to 10 years.

The commerce board also approved investments in Electric Boat’s facilities at Quonset Business Park that will allow Electric Boat to accelerate the hiring of 1,300 new employees. Electric Boat’s $700 million expansion at Quonset is the state’s second-largest PLA. Infinity Meat Solutions is a subsidiary of Retail Business Services, a services company of Ahold Delhaize USA. Infinity is eligible for an average of approximately $948,000 in Qualified Jobs incentives each year for up to 10 years beginning when the company reaches certain hiring benchmarks and employees are paying Rhode Island income taxes. In addition, the company is eligible for $1.9 million in Rebuild RI tax credits to support the construction of its new facility and a sales tax rebate on construction materials purchased in Rhode Island. In all, Infinity Meat Solutions’ decision to expand in Rhode Island will add nearly $60 million of activity to Rhode Island’s economy each year and generate more than $10 million in additional state revenue over the next 10 years.

“Retail Business Services has appreciated the strong engagement and support of Governor Raimondo, Secretary Pryor, and their team throughout this process. We’re grateful for the Rhode Island Commerce Board’s approval of these incentives for our

subsidiary, Infinity Meat Solutions, to locate a state-of-the-art facility in Rhode Island and create jobs in the state,” said Retail Business Services President Roger Wheeler. “We look forward to finalizing the details and breaking ground for this facility in the coming months.”

“These 2,000 new permanent jobs and 1,000 construction jobs will provide a wide array of employment opportunities to Rhode Islanders.”

Stefan Pryor Rhode Island Commerce Secretary

“Today demonstrates exactly what we had in mind when we created these programs — recruiting new businesses to Rhode Island and helping existing Rhode Island businesses expand,” said Rhode Island Commerce Secretary Stefan Pryor.

“These 2,000 new permanent jobs and 1,000 construction jobs will provide a wide array of employment opportunities to Rhode Islanders. So far 27 companies have expanded or landed in the Ocean State under Governor Raimondo’s leadership. Our state has momentum and we must continue our efforts until all Rhode Islanders experience the economic progress we are making.”

Twenty-seven companies have relocated to Rhode Island or expanded their existing Rhode Island operations using the Qualified Jobs Tax Credit Program. The state’s real estate investment programs are investing in 33 development projects that are creating nearly 7,000 construction jobs and injecting nearly $2 billion dollars of investment into Rhode Island. Appleseed estimates that combined these projects will add nearly $775 million dollars annually to the state’s GDP. Over 15 years, these projects will add $271 million in net new revenue to the state.
