In Mansfield, Mass., work continues on a $35 million municipal complex that will include a public works administrative facility and a combination police and fire department structure. Work will take place in two phases, with current construction focused on the Department of Public Works (DPW).

“The existing DPW building was built in 1957,” said Mike Ahern, DPW special projects manager. “No significant upgrades have been done, even though vehicle and equipment types have changed drastically over the years. The DPW facility lacks adequate ventilation, heating and drainage and office spaces are undersized and inefficient.”

Funded by municipal bonds, the project will include administrative headquarters for both police and fire, support areas, apparatus bays and fire department sleeping quarters.

The public works building will allow for maintenance, repair and garage facilities to support operations.

jobs for the middle class over the next decade.

“At a time when the American people are yearning for solutions, we have an extraordinary opportunity to put the country to work rebuilding our infrastructure,” said Larson.

“As a nation, we have spent trillions of dollars overseas while other countries have invested in their infrastructure.

Meanwhile, our infrastructure — once the envy of the world — has fallen into a state of disrepair.

“The American Society of Civil Engineers recently gave our infrastructure a grade of ‘D+’ — that is simply unacceptable. I am introducing the America Wins Act in order to repair our crumbling roads and bridges and to jump start transformative projects that can solve our infrastructure challenges. This is a jobs program for the middle class and it is fully paid for without adding to the national debt. It is time to invest in our infrastructure and invest in America,” said Larson.

the equipment by 20 percent, and require less costly maintenance,” said Ahern. “The new complex will more effectively serve the town.

“The current fire station was built in 1930, and population growth has increased significantly in East Mansfield, which has led to increased response times. Fire apparatus size has increased to the point that new apparatus must be custom built to meet the physical constraints of the North Main Street Station.”

The current police station was originally designed as a combined town hall/police station built in 1974. In 1997, the building was renovated and has served as the headquarters and safety dispatching center. Police department increases in staffing over the last 40 years has rendered the current police station inadequate.

“These will be state-of-the-art buildings that will last the town many years,” said Ahern. “The municipal complex will be a campus-style environment to better serve the public relating to these departments.”

The new municipal complex site currently is home to the existing DPW and water treatment facility, which are two separate buildings. The new DPW building is being built on the rear of the existing site, which will make way for the new public safety building that will replace the old DPW building in the front of the site. The existing police facility is located 1.4 mi. from the new site, and the fire station is roughly the

same distance.

“All the employees and town staff who will work in this complex are extremely excited about the new facility, as it will contribute to faster response times for police and fire, and increased efficiency overall,” said Ahern. “This will better serve the town and its residents. The majority of town residents approved the voter referendum to fund the construction of this project.”

The general contractor is Boston Building & Bridge Corp. from Milton, Mass. Kaestle Boos Associates is the lead architect for the complete project and partnered with Weston and Sampson Engineers for the DPW aspect of the endeavor.

Both firms are located in Foxboro, Mass.

The contractor officially started its work November 2016.

Barring any unforeseen developments, Phase I construction should be substantially complete by November of next year.

The Phase I work includes offices for the highway division and public buildings/special projects divisions.

In January 2018 the existing DPW building will be relocated to the new facility at the rear of the site. This will make way for the demolition of the existing structure and the start of the new public safety complex.

The DPW building has fleet maintenance service bays and equipment storage bays.

The building is single level. The new public safety structure will be one building housing both police and fire. The office areas are on the second story of the building for police/fire administration. Police will be located on the west end of the building, with fire living quarters on the east side.

The apparatus deck will be next to the fire living quarters.

Said Ahern, “Presently, all the work for Phase I is under way, with foundations and major site work completed. The building erection crew is starting to erect the building presently. Many tasks have already been completed, such as foundations, underground infrastructure and utilities. No major issues have been encountered to date.

“Key tasks remaining are the erection of the pre-manufactured steel building for the DPW site in Phase I, and comsee COMPLEX page 12

Build With Strength: Waltham, Mass., City Council Votes 14-0 for Safer Codes On July 31, Waltham city councilors voted unanimously to call on the state of Massachusetts to implement tighter restrictions on the size of wood-frame residential buildings after a massive ten-alarm fire destroyed a wooden apartment complex under construction in late July.

The fire was the Boston-area’s second major wood-frame fire in a month and the fourth since the start of June. The incidents come at a time of increasing concern over the use of combustible building materials in the low- to mid-rise residential building market, as a number of wood-frame apartment complexes have been the site of spectacular fires, most notably in Charlotte, N.C.; Warner Robins, Ga.; Midvale, Utah; Oakland, Calif.; Dorchester, Mass.; Lawrence, Mass.; East Hollywood, Calif.; Lowell, Mass.; Waterbury, Conn.; Emeryville, Calif.; St. Petersburg, Fla.; Arlington, Va.; College Park, Md.; Overland Park, Kan.; Raleigh, N.C.; and Maplewood, N.J. There have been dozens over the last few years. “[The] declaration that Waltham residents are fed up with preventable fires is a step in the right direction,” said Kevin Lawlor, a spokesperson for Build with Strength, a coalition of the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association comprised of fire service professionals, engineers, architects and industry experts. “Build with Strength will work with any community anywhere in the U.S. that wants to learn more

about non-combustible construction methods that protect communities from preventable disasters.”

Because of a change in 2009 to the International Building Code, Massachusetts allows buildings to be constructed with five wood-frame stories, as long as the first is built with concrete.

“The buildings made of this material have shown a propensity to erupt into a conflagration,” said Robert G. Logan, council vice president in an interview with The Boston Globe. “So I think the state needs to go back and rethink whether or not to allow that kind of construction, especially in buildings of that size.”

In addition to New York City and Chicago, cities and towns like Maitland, Fla.; Sandy Springs and Tucker, Ga., have taken proactive steps to preemptively ban the use of combustible materials, such as wood, in this type of construction.

“Serious lawmakers concerned about protecting their constituents should join Waltham and other communities that have already taken action and saying ‘enough is enough,’” continued Lawlor.

Spazzarini Construction Calls on Barry Equipment to Spazzarini Construction Company, founded in 1921 by Antonio Spazzarini, an immigrant seeking a better life for his family, has been serving Connecticut for nearly a century.

Located in Enfield, Conn., the company serves clients throughout all of north-central Connecticut and western Massachusetts.

The family-run business uses the approximately 45 pieces of heavy machinery in its fleet to provide the state of Connecticut with a full range of services including: general contracting, roads/bridges, site preparation, grading/paving, septic systems and snow removal. Current projects include road reconstruction contracts in South Windsor, Enfield and Windsor, Conn., and a new dormitory at Suffield Academy in Suffield, Conn.

Working With Someone You Can Count On Spazzarini established a relationship with Barry Equipment approximately five years ago when it had two Terex machines that needed to be serviced — a 225 excavator and a TXL 200-2 loader. Spazzarini was pleased with Barry’s service department and decided to expand its fleet with Barry Equipment’s Doosan line.

Spazzarini purchased its first new Doosan DX80 mini-excavator the same year. Shortly (L-R) are Edward Spazzarini, Mark Spazzarini, Brian Spazzarini, Bryan Morris, sales representative of Barry Equipment.

Working Hard Around the State

Anthony Spazzarini and his John Deere iron being given a helping hand after getting stuck in a ditch, circa 1970.

after, it purchased a DX300 LC excavator and a DL300 wheel loader.

“You can’t beat the product support, warranty program and competitive price that you receive from a Doosan,” said Mark Spazzarini of Spazzarini Construction. “To me, it seems like a no brainer to go with them. When a problem arises, Bryan Morris, sales representative of Barry Equipment, ensures that we receive a prompt turnaround.

He really does a great job taking care of us: from helping us select the right machine, assisting us with questions along the way,

and handling any issues we may have on the field later on down the road. He has made our relationship with Barry a great one to have.”

Over the five-year business relationship, Spazzarini Construction has purchased in total from Barry Equipment three Doosan excavators and two Doosan loaders.

Fairfield University to Break Ground on New Business School Fairfield University’s Charles F. Dolan School of Business will relocate to a new academic building scheduled to open in the fall of 2019.

Plans for the new building feature a simulated financial trading room, big data analytics lab, entrepreneurship center with ideation lab space, visualization and simulation lab, active learning and casebased classrooms and more.

The new $40 million building is one of several that are planned or under construction as part of the University’s Master Plan supported by the Fairfield Rising Campaign.

Fairfield Rising — the largest capital campaign in the history of the University — has exceeded its $160 million financial target ahead of the projected timeline. As a result, the University has reset the goal by an unprecedented $50 million, bringing the new target to $210 million with an estimated completion date of December 2018.

“We are humbled and honored

by the dedication and commitment of our alumni, parents and friends,” said Mark R. Nemec, president of Fairfield University.

“The extension of the Fairfield Rising Campaign ensures that Fairfield continues its rise as the modern Jesuit Catholic University, building a community animated by innovative teaching and learning, so that we may continue to best serve the world as it is.”

“The Fairfield Rising Campaign will ensure that the University meets the needs of today’s students and those of generations to come,” said Wally Halas, vice president of university advancement. “The extension of the campaign to $210 million will support new academic programs, endowed faculty and the infrastructure to support a diverse, growing and demanding population of new students.”

Breaking ground this spring, the new Dolan school building will support the school’s faculty, business disciplines, student internship and professional development programs, all backed by the

University’s alumni network. Last year, Dolan School graduates achieved a 96.7 percent placement rate within six-months after graduation.

“This new building will exemplify what the Dolan School has become: a leading center for business education, forming students to be ethical leaders for a global future,” Nemec said. “It will be the nexus for our students, faculty and

staff, allowing them to collaborate in an environment that rivals the most state-of-the-art facilities for its technology and cutting-edge spaces.”

The new Dolan School of Business building, at 80,500 sq. ft., will feature 16 technologyenriched classrooms, collaborative meeting spaces for students and faculty, as well as a new event space. The building will feature

innovative spaces including a onebutton studio, simulation room, behavioral research lab, and the University’s Center for Applied Ethics. Facility enhancements such as these will further position the Dolan School as a destination of choice for students looking for a business degree informed by Jesuit values.

Other new facilities under construction or in the planning phases include a new dormitory; a new parking facility; an expansion of the University’s Barone Campus Center to include The Tully Dining Commons; and a new building that will house the nationally-ranked Marion Peckham Egan School of Nursing and Health Studies. The University will be proceeding with the filing of the required applications for local approval for the new school of business later in August.

pleting on schedule in order to start Phase II.” Heavy machinery on site includes general construction and earth moving equipment.

The basic materials being used on the project are asphalt, concrete, metal, steel and gravel.

“In the initial self-preformed phase, we moved about 150,000 cubic yards of various materials to prepare the site while final design and bidding was being completed.

During the Phase I portion of the site, the general contractor moved in the range of 10,000 cubic yards.

“Our biggest challenge was getting the project within budget for a phased project of this scope and magnitude,” said Ahern, noting that even before a contractor was selected, vast amounts of ledge in the front area of the site had to be removed for installation of utilities, and to reach required finish elevations.”

As part of their work, crews had to drill before blasting could occur.

“After blasting, we removed truckloads of rock. We then installed gravel in multiple controlled lifts with compaction to fill the blasted areas. Our thoughts were that any site work that could be accomplished in advance of bidding would be a time saver for the schedule, and the town would see the benefits of lower costs to self-manage this work in advance.”

The estimated amount of rock crushed on site as part of Phase I was 3,000 cu. yds.

“During Phase I work, we encountered some additional rock and ledge that was hammered in place and removed,” said Ahern. “Numerous large boulders were crushed and reused on the site as dense graded base.”

To date, there has been very little demoli-

tion work associated with Phase I, but Phase II will include tearing down the existing DPW building, which involves dealing with normal asbestos and related items for the time period of original construction. The items will be remediated prior to demolition operations.

Presently, the site is served by municipal sewer services and all drainage will remain on site through various underground and above ground detention basins. Recently, crews poured the building slabs of the DPW facility, and concrete pumping and concrete placement was performed by Marguerite Concrete from Hopedale, Mass. The two placements totaled 1,100 cu. yds.

According to Kaestle Boos Associates architect Greg Joynt, “Above all else, the town of Mansfield determined the need to

provide code-compliant facilities which support the operations of modern municipal and public safety departments, which the existing facilities do not. In selecting a location for the new facilities, the vision expanded to creating a unified municipal campus, with the public works, public safety and existing water department headquarters all located in one area.

“As with any public building project, communication between all parties involved with the project is essential. This project included balancing the needs of three separate departments, as well as the water department and the building committee, while also coordinating multiple designers and construction schedules. This is usually done well with constant communication and regular coordination among all team members.”

Joynt said the difference between designing a municipal complex and a more traditional project is the programmatic needs of each department.

“The buildings designed to house large equipment, fire apparatus and police detainees all have different requirements which must be met, but are not normally seen in a more traditional building. In addition, security requirements are much more stringent with both active and passive methods of security integrated into the design.”

For the creative team, the primary concern was providing for user safety and comfort.

Being environmentally responsible also was important.

“While the new Mansfield Public Safety/Municipal Complex does not meet one specific set of sustainable requirements, there will be numerous green features incorporated into the buildings, including lowflow water fixtures which will reduce water usage often by as much as 30 percent,” he

said.

Additional features will include increased daylighting wherever possible, walk-off mats which remove contaminants from staff and visitor shoes, use of materials with recycled content, non-VOC emitting paints, finishes and sealants which improves air quality and high-efficiency HVAC and electrical systems (including LED light fixtures), which reduce energy usage. Green initiatives also were incorporated on the sites, including the use of native plants that may not need as much irrigation, resulting in reduced water usage.

“We would like these buildings to be community-friendly and welcoming, while still maintaining that sense of municipal permanence. We would like employees and visitors to feel a sense of pride with these buildings as they will be modern municipal buildings which will help each department operate even more efficiently and effectively for the town of Mansfield.”

Michael Trowbridge, chairman of the Mansfield Board of Selectmen, added, “Like all towns and cities, updating infrastructure for the growing population and needs is important. Based on the existing facilities, it should be a welcome change.

Modern facilities for the employees will allow for more efficient work product for the citizens, and quicker safety responses.”

Trowbridge said the community will be better served by the new complex, adding that residents were well aware of the proposed project.

“There were a great deal of meetings, and information was placed out prior to the vote, informing them of all the pros and cons.”

Shawmut Equipment Celebrates 60 Years in New England

Shawmut is a distributor of Potain cranes.

Shawmut Equipment has been a leading equipment distributor bringing quality products to its customers since 1957. This year marks 60 years of continued success in the industry. Shawmut represents the Manitowoc Crane Group’s range of construction cranes, including Manitowoc crawler cranes, Grove rough terrain cranes, Grove GMK all terrain cranes, Grove hydraulic crawler cranes, Grove yard boss industrial cranes, National boom trucks and Potain self-erecting cranes, as well as a variety of utility equipment.

Shawmut is a full-service company, with three facilities offering sales, rentals, parts and service located in Manchester, Conn., South Easton, Mass., and Saint John, New Brunswick.

Shawmut was founded in 1957

by George O’Connell and is still to this day run by the O’Connell family. David O’Connell, George’s son, joined the company in the 1960s and took over in 1978 as president. David’s sons, Brian O’Connell and Kevin O’Connell, joined the business in early 2000s, as well as David’s nephew, Joe Vergoni. Today, all three of them act as vice presidents and sales representatives of the company. Many

long-term experienced and knowledgeable employees play a key role in the success of the business, according to the family.

“Our business philosophy is to do the right thing for the customer in each and every aspect of the business,” David O’Connell said.

“This is the only way to succeed.

We have repeat customers who have done business with us for generations, as well as new customers who are doing business with us for the first time. We attempt to treat all customers in a fair and honest manner, whether it concerns an equipment sale, a rental, a parts purchase or service work.

“I am extremely fortunate to have my two boys, Brian and Kevin, and my nephew, Joe Vergoni, deeply involved in this family business. They are learning the same business values from me that I learned from their grandfather.”

In 1963, the company became one of Grove’s first distributors, serving Connecticut and western Massachusetts out of its Manchester, Conn., office. In 1995, Shawmut was made the exclusive dealer of the Manitowoc Company’s crawler crane line for

all of New England. Likewise, Grove recognized Shawmut’s success in its existing territory and encouraged expansion throughout the six states of New England.

By the late 1990s, another facility was needed to satisfy its customer’s needs. Shawmut opened another full-service facility in Massachusetts, speeding up response time for service and parts in the expanded territory. The Manitowoc Company acquired Grove Worldwide in 2002 and the company quickly became a global leader in the industry with Shawmut representing all of its product lines.

Shawmut continued to expand its international presence in 2008 when it was awarded the territory of the Atlantic provinces of Canada. Shawmut Equipment of Canada Inc., a full subsidiary of Shawmut Equipment Company Inc., was created and opened the doors of its facility in Saint John, New Brunswick. Shawmut Equipment also now serves customers in the Atlantic provinces of Canada, including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.

Shawmut Equipment Looks to Expand Internationally SHAWMUT from page 13

Canada has been growing at a steady rate, requiring another location to better serve customers. A new facility is in the process of being built in Elmsdale, Nova Scotia. This location will serve as the headquarters for the Maritime provinces of Canada and will increase access to a larger geographic area and more remote jobsite locations.

President of Shawmut Equipment of Canada, Joe Vergoni, said, “This opportunity expanded Shawmut’s territory, customer base and markets served. The timing was very good for Shawmut, as the U.S. economy slowed in 2008 and 2009 we were growing our business in Canada where the economy was still strong. Our new territory is due east of our traditional territory of New England. Culturally New England and Atlantic Canada are very similar which made the transition very smooth.”

Shawmut has not only grown in size and territory throughout the past 60 years, but also has expanded the range of products offered and industries served. Shawmut recognized an opportunity to provide the required equipment to utility contractors across the United States and Canada. In 2014, Shawmut started offering utility equipment sales and rentals, as well as the support required for these machines.

Shawmut supplies the utility industry and utility contractors with Terex TM Hi-Ranger tracked material handling buckets, Terex general digger derricks, tracked National cranes and Morooka rubber track carriers.

“This transition was very organic for Shawmut. We had already been providing utility contractors with cranes, so when they started to ask us to provide additional utility equipment, we felt it was a great opportunity for our company. At the time of our utility equipment expansion, major utility projects such as the Maine Power Reliability Program, New England East West Solution and Maritime Link were under way with the Northern Pass on the horizon,” said Vergoni.

Shawmut responds to a variety of needs from a diverse group of customers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Shawmut’s sales department strives to provide the best quality products to its customers with the highest level of customer satisfaction and both the parts and service departments are staffed with experienced and knowledgeable employees who are trained to ensure that the customers have the support needed to keep their machines up and running, according to the company.

Shawmut has expansive parts departments at all three of its facilities and inventory is closely managed and most parts are stocked to reduce any unplanned machine downtime.

Manchester, Conn., facility

The service department has a strong reputation of reacting as quickly as possible to the needs of its customers. Service support is always available, either on the road or at any of the three facilities. Shawmut Equipment maintains a fleet of service trucks equipped with the latest repair and diagnostic tools to provide 24-hour on site service for both repairs and routine maintenance.

Shawmut believes in constant factory training for its service technicians in order to provide the expertise needed to work on the specific products represented. Shawmut has many factory certified technicians that have the highest level of education on particular product lines, giving them the ability to fix customer’s machines effectively and onbudget.

Additionally, Shawmut has strong relationships with financial institutions in order to offer different options for financing crane purchases. Shawmut appreciates all of its loyal customers and will continue to work to bring the highest quality products and outstanding customer support throughout the years ahead.

‘America Wins Act’ Would Pay for Infrastructure Improvements AMERICA from page 1

cussion usually stops when it is time to talk about how to pay for it. Congressman Larson’s plan doesn’t stop short. It actually starts with a long-term dedicated funding source that will provide robust funding for core programs.” said Don Shubert, president of the Connecticut Construction Industries Association.

“We have an opportunity to rebuild our infrastructure and to put America back to work. The time to pass this legislation is now,” said Ted Grabowski, president of CT Laborers, Local 230.

The America Wins Act will provide a dedicated revenue stream of $1 trillion over 10 years to invest in all types of infrastructure from roads, bridges, tunnels, transit systems, rail, airports, clean drinking water, levees, broadband and energy transmission.

A study by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) estimates that the U.S. is currently facing a $2 trillion infrastructure funding gap over the next 10 years. ASCE concluded that if we fail to make the necessary investments in our infrastructure, we will lose 2.5 million jobs and $3.9 trillion in GDP by 2025. Another study by Standard & Poor’s concluded that every $1.3 billion invested in our infrastructure results in 29,000 construction jobs alone and adds $2

billion to our GDP. Based on these figures, the America Wins Act would create up to 22 million constructions jobs over 10 years.

The America Wins Act would: • Invest $1 trillion in nation’s infrastructure over 10 years; • provide transitional assistance for coal country, including pensions; • provide a consumer tax rebate to the American people; and • reduce harmful pollution to promote clean air and public health.

This bill is fully paid without adding to the national debt. The America Wins Act is estimated to raise $1.8 trillion in total over 10 years through an upstream tax on the carboncontent of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. All of the revenue raised will be placed in a trust fund, administered by United States Treasury, in order to be solely used for investing in the nation’s infrastructure, providing the American people with a consumer tax rebate, and dedicated funding for carbon-intensive industries such as coal workers.

New $35M Municipal Complex Being Built in Mansfield, Mass.

COMPLEX from page 12

officials taking part in the ceremony.

Witnessing the first ceremonial shovels of dirt being turned was extremely rewarding for all in attendance.

“I am the longest-serving member of Mansfield Capital Improvements — 20 years — and this has been talked about for approximately seven years,” said Trowbridge. “It was nice to get it actually moving. We have an incredible municipal building committee made up of talented, dedicated professionals. The project will be done correctly, and under budget.”

One feature of the new complex should be of particular interest to all who stop by.

“A refurbished bell will be in the joining section of the police and fire, and it has a long history.”

The bell, forged at a foundry owned by Paul Revere’s grandson, arrived in Mansfield in 1831, weighing an estimated

1,250 lbs. It was placed in Mansfield’s Congregational Church. On the front was the inscription in all caps that read, “Revere Boston 1827. Presented by Asa Clapp, Esq of Portland in testimony of his early and continued affection for his native town of Mansfield.”

In 2015, workers removed the bronze bell from the belfry of another church, where it had been placed. The bell was kept in a town storage area until a year ago, when it was transported with a crane and a flatbed truck to a brass refinishing shop. When installed in the new complex, it will be illuminated inside and will reportedly be visible from as far away as Route 106.

Established in 1775, the town of Mansfield is located 40 mi. south of Boston, and 35 mi. north of Providence, R.I. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
