Army Engineers and planners will receive $146 million for various infrastructure projects at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) sites around Oregon. Funding for these projects originates from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act. “This funding will provide critical improvements to some of the region’s most vital civil works infrastructure,” said Liza Wells, deputy district engineer of the Portland District. “Oregon’s coastal communities will benefit from

enhanced economic opportunities thanks to the upcoming repairs to the Coos Bay and Tillamook jetty systems; while also increasing the safety aspects of traversing the dangerous Pacific coast. We’ll also make improvements to our system of dams throughout the region; it’s important work and we’re eager to move these jobs forward.”

The Tillamook South Jetty project is earmarked for the largest investment at $62 million.

Preventing future disasters means construction crews will have to tie up any loose ends of construction at hazard

spots.

Additional projects that will receive funding include: Columbia River Fish Mitigation: $38,016,000; This USACE project will include the addition of approximately 120 ft. to 150 ft. in jetty length, stabilization of the head of the jetty and addition of rock to the jetty’s trunk and root to further stabilize the structure.

ODOT Crews Set to Begin I-205 Improvement Project The Oregon Department of Transportation is set to begin construction on Phase 1 of the I-205 Improvements Project, marking a significant milestone in one of the first of ODOT’s This initial phase will specifically focus on construction of a seismically upgraded Abernethy Bridge as well as a new roundabout at the OR43 interchange.

efforts to update the state’s transportation system in the greater Portland metro area. This initial phase will specifically focus on construction of a seismically upgraded Abernethy Bridge as well as a new roundabout at the OR43 interchange and the construction of a sound wall near Exit 9.

One key goal of ODOT’s Urban Mobility Office is to expand contracting and workforce opportunities for historically disadvantaged groups. More than 100 potential opportunities for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise firms have been identified for the first I-205 contract. The I-205 Improvements public involvement team engaged Disadvantaged Business Enterprise firms and associations earlier this summer and fall, hosting networking events with potential prime contractors to prepare firms for the bidding process. The project team also is participating in a pilot program administered by the Federal Highway Administration to address inequities in the construction industry by allowing a local hiring preference. The program increases workforce development opportunities and improves participation in existing training and education programs in the Portland metro area.

Oregonians experience nearly seven hours of traffic backups on I-205 every day. The I-205 Improvements Project is the first major effort to launch from HB 2017 passed by the Oregon Legislature to provide key bottleneck relief and seismic upgrades on the interstate in Clackamas County. Upon completion of both phases, the project will add a third lane to match the rest of I-205 and replace or retrofit nine bridges to be earthquake-ready. The Abernethy Bridge will be the first earthquake-ready interstate structure across the

Willamette River, making I-205 the passable north-south route through the Portland region in the aftermath of a Cascadia Subduction Zone .

Another major project beginning construction in the Portland metro area on OR 217 will add auxiliary lanes and increase connectivity of the adjacent bicycle and pedestrian network.

“The I-205 improvements, along with the 217 auxiliary lane efforts signify the beginning in a series of investments that make up ODOT’s Urban Mobility Strategy to decrease congestion, increase safety and transition the metro area to a more sustainable transportation system,” said Brendan Finn, Director of ODOT’s Urban Mobility Office. “These projects will help make everyday travel safer and healthier for Oregonians while also supporting a vibrant state economy,” he said.

The opportunity to bid will remain open for 12 weeks. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for January 7, 2021. The pre-bid meeting will also include time to network with other attendees. Construction is expected to begin late spring or early summer 2022. In compliance with the Governor’s Executive Order regarding COVID-19 safety measures, the meeting will be held via video and teleconference. The bid document is accessible through the State’s eBIDS portal.

Willamette Water Supply Program Project Commences Residents along Highway 217 on Scholls Ferry Road will notice an increase in construction activity as the crew begins work on a new pipeline for the Willamette Water Supply Program project.

The Willamet Water Supply Program is a joint project of the Tualatin Valley Water District, Hillsboro and Beaverton. The Ambitious Drinking Water Project aims to provide water to those living in the Tualatin Valley Water District and those living in Beaverton, Hillsboro.

The Willamette River, one of Oregon’s largest rivers, will be a new source for this program. The processing plant itself will be installed in Sherwood.

The design of the water treatment plant was completed in September of this year and construction will be completed in 2026. The new seismic water treatment plant will supply 60 million gallons of water per day and is designed for up to 120 million gallons per day, according to a recent newsletter about the project.

The driving force behind the Willamet water supply program began seven years ago to support the growth of the region.

Leaders also realized that Hillsboro had to deal with the fact that it had only one water supply.

BelRed Network to Receive $99M in Government Funding The U.S. Department of Transportation recently announced that its Build America Bureau has refinanced a $99.6 million TIFIA loan for the city of Bellevue’s BelRed Street Network Project.

The Bureau provides Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loans and other surface transportation infrastructure financing to reduce the costs of infrastructure projects.

“DOT is proud to work with Bellevue on the Belred Street Network Project, which will connect people to jobs and support Bellevue as a growing economic center,” said Deputy Transportation Secretary Polly Trottenberg.

Along with the start of service on the East Link Light Rail, the BelRed Street Network Project will serve as a catalyst for the redevelopment of the BelRed neighborhood, helping make it connected, multi-modal, pedestrian-friendly and transit-oriented.

“The Bureau is pleased to sup-

port the city of Bellevue by refinancing the original loan to take advantage of lower interest rates,” said Build America Bureau Executive Director Morteza Farajian. “By working together, we are able to overcome the chal-

lenges posed by the pandemic and keep important public works projects on the path to completion.”

The Project will add: • Approximately 90 new and upgraded curb ramps and approximately 90 other pedes-

trian access improvements in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); • 25,000 linear ft. of sidewalk; • 21,000 linear ft. of dedicated and separated bike lanes;

Along with the start of service on the East Link Light Rail, the BelRed Street Network Project will serve as a catalyst for the redevelopment of the BelRed neighborhood, helping make it connected, multi-modal, pedestrian-friendly and transit-oriented.

• Bike signals to enhance cycling safety.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Build America Bureau was established as a “onestop-shop” during the Obama Administration to help states and other project sponsors carry out infrastructure projects. The Bureau offers low-interest and long-term credit programs, technical assistance and best practices in project planning, financing, delivery and operation.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, signed by President Biden in November 2021, expands project eligibility for the Bureau’s TIFIA credit program and extends maturity of the loans, giving borrowers additional flexibility.

To date, the Bureau has provided more than $36.6 billion in financing through the TIFIA credit program, supporting more than $124 billion in infrastructure investment across the country. For more information, please visit the Bureau website on TIFIA. 

The Coos Bay North Jetty Root, Trunk project represents the second largest investment for projects valued at $32 million.

In 2021, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced it was allocating more than $422 million to help with Oregon’s disaster recovery.

ural disasters over the last few years, most notably the historic wildfires that tore through the state in 2020. In 2021, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced it was allocating more than $422 million to help with Oregon’s disaster recovery. Much of it went toward helping low- to moderate-income families find housing.

A portion of funds also went toward preventing future disasters.

The Portland District has one of the nation's most comprehensive and diversified civil works programs. Covering most of Oregon and southwestern Washington, the District operates locks and dams along the Columbia River, operates dams in the Willamette Valley for flood risk management, maintains Oregon's coastal rivers for navigation and leads the Nation in hydropower generation, all while ensuring equal attention to environmental protection and restoration, fish and wildlife enhancement and recreation.

The IIJA was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and President Joe Biden signed it into law. The Corps submitted a detailed spend plan to Congress, and the projects receiving funding were announced January 19, 2022.

In September 2021, the Department of Justice published a Natural Resource Disaster Resource Guide for Oregonians.
