CALL 800-367-4937

The Tobin Bridge in Chelsea, Mass., was erected in 194849 at a cost of $27 million. The bridge provides three lanes of passage both north and southbound over the Mystic River. It was designed by J.E. Greiner Co. and opened to traffic in 1950, connecting the Charlestown section of Boston with Chelsea. During its nearly 70-year tenure, the bridge has been

plagued with aging rivets, rust and floor beam fissures. Potholes, electrical problems and bolts shaken out of place by vehicle vibrations add to the ever-growing list of maintenance items. Previous Projects According to the Boston Globe, the Massachusetts Port Authority wrapped up a 15-year, $50 million program to replace the decks, the asphalt and concrete making up the roads, and a $45 million program to scrape, prime and repaint the bridge around 2007. Another round of rehab took place from 2012 to 2014 under a new operator, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). The three-year,

Gov. Baker Signs $3.9B Bond Bill for Repairs

Gov. Charlie Baker participated in a ceremonial bill-signing on July 10 providing for capital facility repairs and improvements for the Commonwealth, which authorizes approximately $3.9 billion to address the Commonwealth’s statewide capital needs, including higher education campuses, health and human services facilities, state office buildings, public safety facilities, and courts. Baker signed the bill on the campus of Westfield State University, which is planning a renovation of Parenzo Hall into a state-of-the-art facility that will house technology-rich classrooms and two new academic centers. The project is part of the Administration’s new strategic framework for long-term capital investments in public higher education campuses, which prioritizes projects system-wide to address the deferred maintenance backlog and to support workforce skills needs. “Westfield State University is one of many examples of how these capital dollars will be put to good use to renovate the campus and provide state-of-the art classrooms and learning spaces for students,” said Baker. “We thank the Legislature for their collaboration to authorize nearly $4 billion in spending to refurbish and improve our schools, hospitals and courthouses across the state.” “This bond authorization will help support our approach to make the most productive use of taxpayer dollars while addressing the deferred maintenance backlog,” said Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito. “A modernized Parenzo Hall will help prepare a new generation of Westfield students to join the workforce and is an important investment in the region and in the Commonwealth’s future overall.” see BILL page 20

Wynn Completes $68M Pollution Cleanup at Casino Site EVERETT, Mass. (AP) Wynn Resorts has removed nearly 1 million tons of contaminated sediment from the former chemical plant site where it’s building a $2.5 billion Boston-area casino. The final price tag was about $68 million, or more than double the $30 million previously estimated by the Las Vegas company. Besides cleaning the 33-acre site in Everett, the company also cleaned up the Mystic River over 18 months. Wynn said the higher costs come from “increased quality measures” as well as the addition of restaurants and other design changes. The casino recently was rebranded Encore Boston Harbor fol-

lowing allegations of misconduct against company founder Steve Wynn. Wynn has denied the allegations. Wynn said it will spend another $14 million creating a 6-acre harborwalk and park.

Gilbane ImplementsWearableSafetyTechnology on Job Sites Gilbane Building Company is raising the bar for the construction industry when it comes to safety with its latest implementation of wearable devices that detect slips, trips and falls on the job, triggering an automatic alert to designated site personnel including medics. The time it takes to respond to an incident is greatly reduced and allows for quick action in an emergency situation. Gilbane has adopted the Spot-r network and suite of wearable and sensor devices, developed by Triax Technologies, a Connecticut-based construction technology company, to gain real-time, digital visibility into its workforce, equipment and site safety. The Spot-r Clip connects to a project-specific network that automates worker headcount procedures and

provides the real-time locations of each worker on site. Workers also have the ability to push a button on the device to report an issue or hazard to their supervisor over a direct channel. If needed, alarms can be triggered to streamline evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency through another Triax Technologies device installed around the job site called the Spot-r EvacTag. This device gets the message out to everyone on site at the same time regardless of their location. “When it comes to site evacuation, every second counts. We are excited about the Spot-r EvacTag because it significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to evacuate workers. Also, because Spot-r lets us track worker head-

counts and locations in real-time, we can be sure everyone is accounted for. The safety benefits it offers are critical,” said Don Naber, senior vice president, director of risk management of Gilbane Building Company. Safety is the driving force behind expanding Gilbane’s use of this technology which integrates well with construction project control systems. Jason Pelkey, senior vice president, chief information officer, said, “In addition to the safety and insurance benefits that Spot-r provides, we are also looking at ways to further enhance the value to job sites by integrating it with our project controls system, SmartApp.com, to automate the daily work hour reporting and other time and attendance recording. We are excited about exploring the numerous possibilities to reduce manual inputs through this technology.” The sensors monitor when and where workers are on site during any given time, allowing closer control over the manpower and productivity while reporting cumulative man hours. In addition, equipment can be tracked using Spot-r EquipTag sensors. The equipment sensor and worker clip connect with each other to identify who is using what piece of equipment, allowing supervisors to ensure that the person operating the equipment is authorized to do so. “Commitment to worker safety and continuous, data-driven improvement every day of the week is what continues to set Gilbane apart,” said Chad Hollingsworth, CEO and cofounder, Triax Technologies. “We’re proud to work with Gilbane to enhance jobsite visibility, streamline communication, and improve safety with wearable technology and realtime data. Gilbane has been on the leading-edge of construction innovation and safety from the beginning, and we look forward to building upon our relationship with the tools and technologies that will help them continue their commitment.” “The Spot-r Clip technology helps improve safety on our project sites by identifying unsafe behaviors and allows us to be proactive in correcting those behaviors before an incident occurs. It aligns well with our Gilbane Cares culture of returning construction workers home safely at the end of each work day. Our goal is to be the largest user of Spot-r technology in our industry,” said Rebecca Severson, vice president, corporate safety director of Gilbane Building Company.

AGC of Maine Introduces SC&R Foundation Awards Shevenell as New Director Martin Terex Scholarship

Tonya Shevenell

Tonya Shevenell is the new director of Member Engagement of the Associated General Contractors of Maine. She joined the association as AGC America celebrates its 100th Anniversary. “The history of construction in America and our home State of Maine is something we should continue to celebrate by building a stronger presence in our community. AGC provides that platform, and I’m pleased to join a team passionate about Maine’s skilled workers and helping an industry with a rich heritage of ingenuity,” Shevenell said. In her new role, she will communicate the Chapter’s success with current and potential members while helping with programs to attract new skilled workers to the industry. “Our industry is constantly changing, and while our team has been very good at tackling the opportunities and issues; strengthening our communication within the industry is equally important, we are pleased that Tonya joined our team,” said Matt Marks, AGC Maine’s CEO.

plements the goals set by the Chapter’s Board of Directors. In her most recent film project, she documented a trek by her 74year-old father Ray Shevenell, as he retraced the pioneering journey made by his 19-year-old great great grandfather who walked from his home in Canada to Biddeford, Maine, in 1845. Israel Shevenell found work as a brick maker and built a new life in an American boomtown being transformed by the Industrial Revolution, and is recognized as the city’s first permanent French-Canadian settler and French voter. Shevenell’s time during the busy construction season will be on the road meeting with members and learn more about the industry. “Nothing can replace face to face conversations in the construction business,” she said.

It’s good for the industry.” The SC&R Foundation helps individuals jumpstart and enrich their career in the crane, rigging or specialized transportation industry through grants and scholarships for training.

industry peers and by our government representatives for our efforts in that regard. It was a privilege to be selected to build this stunning home and to be part of the team together with the owner and architect. This award belongs not only to Delphi but to all who played a role in the successful outcome of this project,” Heaslip said. Robert J. McGovern, director of Public Affairs for The Massachusetts Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, extended congratulations to Delphi on behalf of his organization, which administers the annual Excellence in Construction Awards. “We congratulate Delphi on their well-deserved Excellence in Construction Award.

BILL from page 1

Parenzo Hall opened in 1956 as the first building on the current Westfield State campus and has not undergone major renovations since. The renovation project is consistent with the Administration’s approach to capital investment that emphasizes repairing and modernizing existing assets, while ensuring that spending is always maintained at an affordable level. “The Baker-Polito administration’s consistent approach to capital investing balances the need to maintain and upgrade the Commonwealth’s infrastructure with a strong commitment to fiscal responsibility,” Secretary of Administration and Finance Michael J. Heffernan said. “We thank the Legislature for approving the authorization that will get many important projects off the ground and see others through to completion.” The bond bill authorizes $950 million overall for public higher education investments. The Administration’s five-year Capital Investment Plan has budgeted $190 million for capital repairs, renovations and improvements at state universities and community colleges and the University of Massachusetts system in Fiscal Year 2019, including $37.3 million in FY19 for critical repairs at all 29 campuses in the state system and $50 million for significant infrastructure projects to address potential operational and life safety issues. In addition to Westfield State, the Fiscal Year 2019 Capital Investment Plan funds major new projects at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth; Berkshire Community College; Bunker Hill Community College; Cape Cod Community College; and Massachusetts Bay Community College and engages in a planning and project readiness process with additional projects at Massasoit Community College; the Massachusetts College of Art and Design; Salem State University; Springfield Technical Community College; and Worcester State University. The capital plan also commits $88 million to other ongoing campus projects, including addressing the substructure at University of Massachusetts — Boston and projects at Holyoke Community College; Roxbury Community College; Northern Essex Community College; and Quinsigamond Community College. In addition to the $950 million for higher education projects, authorizations in the bond bill signed today include: • $760.5 million for court facilities statewide; • $680 million for construction, renovations and accessibility improvements at state office buildings; • $401 million for health and human services facilities (Baker previously signed legislation authorizing $199 million for a new long-term care facility at the Soldiers’ Home in Chelsea, in November 2017); • $500 million for public safety facilities and an additional $20 million for public safety equipment; and • $235 million for energy efficiency and climate change resiliency projects at state facilities. Reforms included in the bill will reduce red tape and expedite repairs by increasing the deferred maintenance delegation limit for the UMass system to $10 million and streamlining procedures for smaller structural mechanical and repair projects at other state agencies. These provisions will reduce project costs and time while providing greater flexibility and efficiency for agencies and campuses.

Arsenal Yards sits along the banks of the Charles River just west of Boston in East End Watertown.

Holliday Fenoglio Fowler L.P. (HFF) announced $324 million in construction financing and joint venture equity for the development of Arsenal Yards, a six-building, mixed-use redevelopment of the former Arsenal Mall in Watertown, Mass. The HFF team worked on behalf of Boylston Properties, The Wilder Companies and Jonathan Bush to source institutional investors advised by JP Morgan Asset Management as joint venture equity partners, providing $102 million of equity, and secure a $222 million construction loan from Wells Fargo Bank. Arsenal Yards sits along the banks of the Charles River just west of Boston in East End Watertown. With construction currently under way and the first phase scheduled to open in 2019, Arsenal Yards will create a vibrant urban neighborhood with more than 1 million sq. ft. that will include 250,000 sq. ft. of destination shops and eateries, anchored by Roche Bros. and The Majestic Cinema; Yard Works (200,000 sq. ft. of new and existing office and lab space); Blvd & Bond (425 contemporary residences); a 150-room Hampton by Hilton; The Fitness Collection and a revitalized Arsenal Park with expanded access to the Charles River. An abundance of surrounding demand drivers exist, including corporate headquar-

ters for AthenaHealth and Bright Horizons — immediately adjacent to the project — and New Balance, Harvard Business School’s campus expansion, Harvard’s $1 billion Science and Engineering Complex set to open in 2020, and the adjacent LINX office/lab complex (fully leased) recently developed by Boylston Properties. The HFF debt and equity placement teams representing the borrower included senior managing directors Fred Wittmann and Coleman Benedict, senior director Brett Paulsrud and associate Henry Schaffer. “HFF was able to work closely with the development team to secure a capitalization structure that met their objectives,” Paulsrud said. “This redevelopment will dramatically transform the landscape of Watertown, adding a significant amenity base to the area. It will be very exciting to watch this best-in-class partnership create a new destination for surrounding residents and businesses alike.” For more information, visit arsenalyards.com, boylstonproperties.com, wilderco.com, jpmorganassetmanagement.com and hfflp.com.
