Washington State Chapter Public Works Project of the Year award.

The awards were won in the Structures category, for facilities built in the $25 million to $75 million division.

This endeavor replaced the existing two bridges with a single span. Crews also were responsible for: floating walkway rehabilitation, extension & relocation; roadway grading & reconstruction; sidewalk construction; curb ramps, drainage facilities, waterline installation; roadway lighting, signals & conduit; irrigation, landscaping; striping & signing.

“This is a huge achievement for our team on a project that has been a high point in our careers,” said MariLyn Yim, SDOT project manager of the Fairview Avenue N Bridge

project. “We’re all very honored to receive both awards from our peers and to be in the company of so many great and exciting public works projects that were recognized this year.

This is why I love doing what I do at the Seattle Department of Transportation and seeing how our work results in tangible improvements for the community and the transportation network. It is gratifying to be able to experience the bridge in person after having seen it in plans and on paper for so many years. People can now use it to watch seaplanes take off, launch kayaks/paddle boards, walk or jog along the Cheshiahud Loop Trail and enjoy the great views. This bridge is beautiful and really encapsulates all the great Lake Union interactions and views Seattle has to offer.” see PROJECT page 8

People were lined up to view the front of the SDOT paint truck while other attendees stepped into the driver’s seat and walked around on the truck.

Kids and adults gather around a street painting truck at the 2022 Touch-A-Truck community event at Seattle’s Magnuson Park.

Seattle Dept. of Transportation Hosts Touch-A-Truck Event On May 1, 2022, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) participated in this year’s “Touch-A-Truck” event, hosted by the Junior League of Seattle at Magnuson Park. This event was open to the community and provided a fun, hands-on opportunity for families and children of all ages to explore and interact with many types of vehicles.

Team SDOT was on-hand to showcase a snow plow and a street painting truck, two of the many vehicles the team uses to keep Seattle’s public transportation system moving forward. Both vehicles were in high demand, with kids lined up all day for their turn to climb up onto the trucks and experience them first-hand.

These current and future transportation enthusiasts enjoyed honking the horns, trying out radio headsets and seeing the view from the driver’s seat of these official service vehicles.

City of Seattle colleagues at Seattle Parks & Recreation and the Seattle Police Department also contributed to the event. Other participating agencies and vendors included the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), King County Metro Transit, the Shoreline Fire Department, First Student Transportation, Recology, Vitalitree, Ridwell, Medical Team International, Salmon Bay Sand and Gravel, Routeline, Snap-On and McKinstry.

Contractor Finds Equipment Solution With Helical Piles

The bridge was located adjacent to overhead utilities and a large historic building overlooking the harbor, and the strictest vibration restrictions were in place in order to not disturb the surrounding environment.

PRO JECT from page 1

Sidewalks have been constructed on both sides of the street and a protected 12-ft,. two-way bike lane on the west side of the bridge overlooking the water.

Crews replaced the existing two bridges with a single span. Crews also were responsible for: floating walkway rehabilitation, extension and relocation; roadway grading & reconstruction; sidewalk construction; curb ramps, drainage facilities, waterline installation; roadway lighting, signals and conduit; irrigation, landscaping; striping and signing.

After studies were previously conducted, it was determined that a complete replacement of the bridge was the best solution, but in order to reach the locations to remove the bridge segments, a temporary work trestle would have to be established for the heavy equipment to walk across. To make matters more complicated, the bridge was located adjacent to overhead utilities and a large historic building overlooking the harbor, and the strictest vibration restrictions were in place in order to not disturb the surrounding environment.

No impact or vibratory pile installation methods would be allowed.

The contractor needed a quick, noiseless, vibration-free solution that could support the loads of the heavy equipment for the duration of the project, one that could also be removed completely once the task was complete and return the natural surroundings to normal. One solution was the use

of helical piles. The contractor turned to Pileworks, who designed a massive 80-ft. long, 22-in. diameter helical pile with a 36-in. diameter helical flight.

“It’s awesome for what we’re doing in the ground. It’s quiet, it’s controlled,” said Orion Project Superintendent Jason Tarver. “I think it saved us money. It was a substantial savings to drilled shafts.”

In addition to seismic and structural safety improvements, the new bridge offers improvements for all residents and travelers alike.

Sidewalks have now been constructed on both sides of the street and a protected 12-ft. two-way bike lane on the west side of the bridge overlooking the water. The floating walkway along the water below the west side of the bridge also has been restored, with three new lookout platforms overlooking Lake Union. see PRO JECT page 14

Previous studies indicated that a replacement of the bridge was the best solution, but to reach the locations to remove the bridge segments, a temporary work trestle would have to be established for the heavy equipment to walk across.

WNBA’s Seattle Storm Building New 50,000-Sq.-Ft. Facility Preconstruction work is now under way on the Seattle Storm Center for Basketball Performance.

Construction activity is on-track to start in spring 2023 and the project team is targeting completion in spring 2024 — prior to the start of the 2024 WNBA regular season.

Force 10 Facilities, LLC (F10F) submitted a Master Use Permit application for a new, professional basketball performance center. The center will serve as the dedicated practice facility for the WNBA’s Seattle Storm. Its design will both celebrate the Storm’s success in Seattle and allow the franchise to expand its efforts to grow opportunities for female athletes and youth in the city.

F10F is developing the Seattle Storm Center for Basketball Performance on a 50,000-sq.-ft. parcel in Seattle’s Interbay neighborhood. The design will include two side-by-side basketball courts, the “Storm Team Center” with locker rooms, a lounge and a nutrition center for the players, and strength and conditioning training spaces. The facility will include room for diagnostics and physical therapy, as well as the franchise’s business offices. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2023 and be completed in time for training camp ahead of the 2024 WNBA season.

The women-led project team includes owner’s representative barrientos RYAN, a design team led by ZGF Architects and Shive-Hattery Architects, general contractor Sellen Construction, and landscape architect Walker Macy.

Additional project partners include Coughlin Porter Lundeen, Holmes, Prime Electric, PAE, Apollo Mechanical,

“We are excited to create a training facility for our team and for our city. The Storm facility will provide our athletes with a dedicated space to support them holistically, from training to health and wellness,” said Lisa Brummel, coowner of the Seattle Storm. “This facility reflects our franchise legacy, our athletes’ success, and aims to promote and grow the women’s game and expand youth access to play.”

F10F’s goal is to build a facility for female athletes with women-led teams, supported by men and women who are experts in their areas of specialty:

• Currently, 85% of all project team members across all disciplines are women.

• The building design celebrates the Storm’s Pacific Northwest home, deriving inspiration from the roots of its industrial neighborhood and the team’s commitment to elite performance.

• The project is designed to achieve LEED® Gold certification, featuring all-electric operations and a rooftop photovoltaic array.

• Upon the building’s completion, the franchise will continue its longstanding work with non-profit and community partners, welcoming them to its new home to collaborate in supporting community development. 

Construction Commences On Idaho’s Largest Solar Project Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions, a nonregulated commercial brand of Duke Energy, recently announced the start of construction of the 120-megawatt (MW) Jackpot Solar project in Twin Falls County, Ida. This is the organization’s first utility-scale renewable energy project in the state and, once complete, it will be the largest solar facility in operation in Idaho.

Jackpot Solar, which is expected to achieve commercial operation by the end of 2022, will provide energy to Idaho Power through a 20-year power purchase agreement.

Idaho Power is working toward its Clean Today, Cleaner Tomorrow goal of providing 100 percent clean energy by 2045. When the company buys certified renewable energy as it’s doing here, it sells the associated renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset power supply costs and to keep customer prices low.

“We’re excited to enter into the Idaho market and be a part of the state’s transition toward a cleaner energy future,” said Chris Fallon, president of Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions. “Jackpot Solar will help diversify the state’s energy infrastructure, bring additional economic benefits to the state and Twin Falls County, while also supporting Idaho Power’s clean energy goals.”

“Providing 100 percent clean energy is an important goal for Idaho Power, and more and more customers are telling us it is important to them, too,” Idaho Power President and CEO Lisa Grow said. “We have a great head start, thanks to our clean hydropower plants that remain our largest source of energy.”

SOLV Energy is doing the engineering and construction for the project, which will be located on 952 rural acres south of the city of Twin Falls. Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions will own and operate the project.

The project is expected to employ approximately 200 workers at peak construction.

Along with indirect economic benefits that accompany solar project development, such as increased local spending in the service and construction industries, the Jackpot Solar facility will also have a positive economic impact on the local community by providing significant tax revenues for the Filer Consolidated School District.

Additionally, the Duke Energy Foundation awarded a $15,000 grant to the Shoshone Basin Rangeland Fire Protection Association to support the organization’s efforts to enhance the safety of the citizens in rural areas of Twin Falls County, Idaho.

“Safety is a top priority for us,” said Fallon. “We’re proud to be a part of this community and help fund the equipment and

services that will enable the Shoshone Basin emergency responders to continue to maintain the safety of area residents and businesses.”

As one of the nation’s top renewable energy providers, last year Duke Energy reached more than 10,000 MW of solar and wind energy, and the company has set a goal of reaching 16,000 MW of renewables by 2025 and 47,000 MW by 2050.

About Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions is a leader in sustainable energy, helping large enterprises reduce power costs, lower emissions and increase resiliency. The team provides wind, solar, resilient backup power and managed energy services to over 1,000 projects across the U.S., with a total electric capacity of more than 5,100 megawatts of nonregulated renewable energy.

Crews Construct Seismic, Structural Safety Improvements PROJECT from page 8

Work from subcontractors included: bridge drainage; civil work (roadway grading, etc.); concrete pumping and placement; barriers curb ramps; demolition; environmental protection; electrical work (conduit, temp electrical); gravel bedding, rip rap; roadway signalization & lighting; irrigation, landscaping; sidewalk construction; paving, pavement marking, striping; survey work; potholing, utility locating; reinforcing steel; steel fabrication & erection; traffic control, signage; vibration & settlement monitoring; trucking; and waterline installation.

“APWA is honored to celebrate the Projects of the Year awards,” APWA President Mary Joyce Ivers said. “The award recipients exemplify infrastructure projects that are planned, designed, constructed and maintained to advance the quality of life for all in their communities. With the challenges of failing infrastructure across North America, public works projects are critical to rebuilding our resiliency and telling our story to support infrastructure funding. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, our public works heroes continued to deliver on their projects. I am proud and inspired by all of our public works members who continue to deliver outstanding, selfless services to their communities, even in times of a pandemic and emergencies. I am so excited to celebrate these Project of the Year recipients.”

The project was funded in part or in full by the 2015 voter-approved, 9-year, $930 million Levy To Move Seattle. The levy provides funding to improve safety for all travelers, maintain streets and bridges and invest in reliable, affordable travel options for the growing city of Seattle.

The contractor used helical piles for a fast, noiseless, vibration-free solution that could support the loads of the heavy equipment for the duration of the project.

About Project

The bridge was deemed to be structurally deficient and seismically vulnerable and happens to be the last major bridge built of timber in the city, with portions that are older than 65 years.

The bridge replacement was a key citywide project given that Fairview Ave N is a primary

north-south artery connecting communities like South Lake Union, Eastlake and University District.

The new bridge restored a critical connection between Eastlake and South Lake Union — the gateways to downtown — and makes it easier and safer for traveling along Fairview Ave N. The bridge is one of the most significant investments of the Levy to Move Seattle tax dollars.

The bridge was rehabilitated in 1986, 1994 and 2003.

The 1986 rehabilitation included repairing spalls on the beams and cleaning the beams. The 1994 rehabilitation consisted of replacing two concrete box beams, their respective bearings and replacing the roadway joints.

“The beauty of the Project of the Year Awards is that they highlight the amazing collaborative efforts to build and rebuild America’s infrastructure,” said Scott D. Grayson, CEO of APWA. “Every year, I am amazed at the innovation and vision the award recipients share to improve quality of life for the public.”  (All photos courtesy of SDOT).
