Potential buyers now can bid on a lineup of heavy machinery from the comfort of their own homes due to J. Stout Auctions’ newly-constructed auction studio.

During the course of the past 18 months, many companies have needed to evolve and adapt to a new business landscape caused by the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 has forced many professionals, companies and business owners to think differently about the future and to find ways to pivot in a new direction to keep their bottom line sustainable. Among those companies is J. Stout Auctions (JSA), a privately-owned, full-service heavy equipment, commercial truck and industrial support auction located in Washougal, Wash. The global pandemic forced a break from in-person auctions across the construction industry, but that did not stop the Pacific Northwest auctioneer from conducting sales. In fact, the pause from in-person auctions caused the company to rethink and revamp its strategy. Behind a newly-built studio — which carried a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars — JSA moved its heavy equipment to a live, online-only format. JSA also upped the frequency of its auctions, moving from quarterly auctions to now conducting them on a monthly basis. see AUCTION page 10

Construction Crews Reach Milestone at Colman Dock Construction crews working for the Washington Department of Transportation recently reached a milestone at Colman Dock. On Aug. 13, crews placed the final 15-ton pre-cast concrete panel on the new trestle, providing a second route for drivers exiting vessels from Bremerton or Bainbridge Island. Setting the final panel allows crews to place concrete and complete the trestle portion of the project. This is a culmination of four years of construction, in which crews removed approximately 4,700 tons of creosote-treated wood, installed approximately 500 new steel support piles, placed more than 750 pre-cast concrete panels for the trestle and placed more than 11,000 cu. yds. of concrete for over-water vehicle holding and loading. At completion, there will be 620 spaces for vehicle holding. Eighteen months of this work was completed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which shut down construction for approximately six weeks in spring 2020. "We are very excited to reach this milestone at our flagship terminal and are now one step closer to opening our sec-

ond newest terminal in 40 years to millions of Washingtonians and visitors,” said Director of Terminal Engineering David Sowers. “The rebuild of this vital, multimodal hub will address seismic vulnerability and keep people safely moving between key Puget Sound locations," added Sowers. "We thank customers for their patience during construction while we also maintain service on two of our busiest routes." Crews began construction work in 2017 to replace the seismically vulnerable terminal at Colman Dock. Since that time, the project has reached multiple milestones: • Completed the southern third of the new terminal building, which opened in September 2019 for passengers traveling to and from Bremerton and Bainbridge Island; • Launched work on the second and final phase of terminal building construction, including finishing the exterior of the building, and completing interior electrical, wiring and finish work to open the full terminal in 2022; • Constructed a temporary pedestrian overpass at

Columbia Street to the terminal, which allows people to bypass busy Alaskan Way; • Completed the new overhead loading passenger structure for slip 3, on the north end of the terminal; • Constructed the foundation of the new trestle for current and future vehicle holding, with a total of 500 new steel piles and concrete to meet seismic and operating requirements; • Built the new passenger-only ferry terminal on the south side of Colman Dock for the King County Water Taxi and the Kitsap Transit Passenger Only Ferry boats. This exit has been closed since October 2020, requiring all vehicles to use a single exit at Yesler Street. Re-opening the Marion Street exit this fall will greatly improve operations at Colman Dock, while construction continues toward project completion in 2023. WSF, a division of the Washington State Department of Transportation, is the largest ferry system in the United States and carries approximately 24 million people a year. . 

Infrastructure Bill Spurs Construction Projects in Idaho U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) released the following statement after voting in support of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which the Senate passed by a 69-30 vote: “The bipartisan legislation we passed today makes investments in traditional, hard infrastructure projects to help keep pace with Idaho’s rapid growth. It includes billions of dollars for Idaho’s roads, highways and bridges; funding for highspeed internet and broadband infrastructure deployment; millions in water infrastructure, including for groundwater storage and conveyance; funding for resiliency against natural disasters like wildfires and droughts; a reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools program; and more. “It does not raise taxes. It reprioritizes the use of certain unused COVID-relief funds away from bailouts and idle funds, shifting them toward supply-side investments that will provide benefits to Idahoans for many years. It contains counter-inflationary measures focused primarily on longterm productivity rather than near-term demand. This is especially critical right now, as rising prices impact families and small businesses across America. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes a number of priorities to benefit Idaho: • Authorizes $1.9 billion for Idaho to construct, rebuild and maintain its roads and highways; • Authorizes $213 million for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure in Idaho, and includes funding for Bureau of Reclamation water storage, groundwater and conveyance projects in Idaho that include water storage for the Boise River Project. Project Funding includes: • $25 billion nationwide for additional airport improvement projects, such as assistance with expansions, planning, runway rebuilding and improvements, lighting and air navigation facilities; • $225 million for bridge construction, maintenance and repair in Idaho;

• More than $3.3 billion available for Idaho and other states for wildland firefighting efforts and an additional $5.75 billion nationwide for natural resources infrastructure, including fire management and reduction; • A three-year reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program, through Fiscal Year 2023; • Infrastructure planning for small modular reactors and micro reactors. The bill also includes a civil nuclear grant program based on legislation Crapo is working to advance

this Congress to provide a comprehensive approach to help empower the long-term viability of the nation’s diverse energy portfolio and further facilitate nuclear competitiveness; • $100 million for broadband expansion in Idaho, with extra funding based on maps created by legislation Crapo helped enact, which show where additional broadband is most needed; • Reduces federal over-regulation by reforming the permitting process to speed construction projects. 

FTA Announces $59.9 Million Grant for Seattle Project The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) recently announced a construction grant award of $59.9 million to the city of Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) for the Madison Street Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project in Seattle, Wash. The 2.3-mi. BRT line will provide fast, frequent, reliable and safe public transportation along Madison Street, improving connections between key destinations in downtown Seattle and densely populated neighborhoods in the surrounding area. “Public transit helps us combat climate change and connect riders — particularly from underserved communities — to jobs, education, services and opportunity,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “This bus rapid transit project is a smart investment in Seattle's transportation future, and the Biden-Harris Administration is committed to modernizing and expanding

Oregon OSHA Launches Free Training to Contractors A new online video training course developed by Oregon OSHA is intended to help employers and workers in the construction industry meet the requirements of the agency’s fall protection standards. The free course features insights from industry leaders, along with practical demonstrations, a review of relevant requirements and a discussion of terms and processes related

to fall protection in the industry. It includes information about the purposes of fall arrest and fall restraint systems, fall clearance calculations, scaffolding, guardrails, leading-edge work and holes and openings. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, falls are the leading cause of death in construction. In 2016, BLS reported 370 fatal falls to a lower level in the private construction

industry. That was up from 255 in 2011 – a 45 percent increase. In fiscal year 2019, Fall Protection – General Requirements was the standard most frequently cited by federal OSHA. That marks the ninth consecutive year the standard has been No. 1 on the agency’s “Top 10” list. Oregon OSHA – which operates under federal OSHA’s State Plan program – reports that from 2014 to 2018 it had 6,187 accepted disability claims in construction because of falls to a lower level. The video training is the fourth course in Oregon OSHA’s Fall Protection Suite, which examines fall hazards across industries and in various on-the-job situations. “This new course reflects Oregon OSHA’s ongoing commitment to expand our educational offerings in a way that fits the busy schedule of employers and workers, and that helps them maintain safe workplaces,” Roy Kroker, consultation and public education manager of Oregon OSHA, said in the release. 

OLC Foundation Hands Out Round of Student Scholarships More than $40,000 in financial assistance has been awarded to 20 students by the Oregon Logging Conference Foundation (OLCF). Each of those recipients represents the next generation of those who will carry on in the logging and forestry industry. Each student qualified to receive this financial assistance to support them in their educational pursuits. Of special note, recipient Justin Helgren was awarded the Carl Welle Memorial Scholarship. Helgren is studying Forest Management at Oregon State University. The Carl Welle Memorial Scholarship fund was established to honor Welle, who graduated from Thurston High School and pursued a career as a paramedic until he bought his first D-4 Cat and found his true passion for logging. He turned his passion into owning his own company, Riverridge Excavating and Logging. It is the hope of Welle’s family that the recipients of this scholarship will pursue forestry, natural resources, or other careers that involve a life spent working in and enjoying the forests.

Welle’s family believes this is a way of paying tribute to Carl. Other students receiving honors include: • Quentin Comus will receive scholarships of $500 from Robert & Carolyn Magathan and $500 from the OLC Foundation; • Maya Greydanus will receive a scholarship of $1,500 from the Thompson Foundation; • Carson Forsman will receive a scholarship of $2,000 from the OLC Foundation; • Angus Kjos will receive scholarships of $2,000 from Douglas County Forest Products and $1,000 from the OLC

More Auctions Means More Iron Available to Customers AUCTION from page 1

The live auctions are broadcast via a live stream on three platforms: Proxibid, Equipment Facts and BidSpotter (broadcasts also are shown on YouTube and Facebook live steams). With this new format, the company expects to double its revenue. “After the first heavy equipment, live, online-only auction, we didn’t have the drop-off in registered bidders,” said, Ned Burleigh, JSA’s inventory manager. “After viewing the auction from the bidders’ perspective, we eventually figured out that we needed a way to give the customers the same live auction experience. Live audio was good, but the bidders couldn’t see who was bidding for them or against. We needed to build that bidder confidence again. That’s when [Owner/President] Jake Stout had the idea for live video. But the question was how would we do it? We could set up some web cams in the warehouse where we were holding the live online auctions, but it was dark and the sound quality wasn’t great.” Needing a better setting for its auctions, Stout fully committed to build the studio, and JSA broke ground on it in December 2020. The company conducted its first live stream auction four months later in April 2021. The live auctions emulate exactly how the in-person auctions were run. It features two live auctioneers and four ringmen representatives (Proxibid, Equipment Facts, BidSpotter and absentee bidder). To bring a level of confidence to the customer, JSA allows an in-person preview of equipment three days prior to the auction. “Our goal is to bring a great bidding experience and confidence to the bidder,” Burleigh said. “We want to be as transparent as possible. The live stream gives JSA other opportunities to show what the bidder is bidding on. Now we have video of working equipment that the bidder can watch and simultaneously bid on. It’s a new level of trust and confidence that the bidder knows about the equipment. We know this is going to be a game changer in the heavy equipment auction industry.”  CEG

Black Diamond Natural Area...

New Bridge for SR 169 to Open During Summer ’22

On Aug. 19, crews working for WSDOT began clearing the old roadway to create a temporary bypass for southbound SR 169 traffic.

Nature has mostly reclaimed the old State Route 169 in the Black Diamond Natural Area of Maple Valley. The south end of the roadway’s old pavement is obvious, but it quickly fades as moss, grass and even trees have sprouted where cars once drove. A Washington State Department of Transportation project to improve fish passage in Ravensdale Creek will temporarily repossess this roadway before permanently giving it back to nature when a new bridge for SR 169 opens in summer 2022. On Aug. 19, contractor crews working for WSDOT began clearing the old roadway to create a temporary bypass for southbound SR 169 traffic. When southbound traffic begins using the bypass in late September, workers will build the southbound lane of a new bridge over Ravensdale Creek. When that portion of the bridge is finished, northbound traffic will shift onto it and the northbound section will be built. “SR 169 is an important link to southeast King County, so we need to maintain two-way traffic without a long detour,” said WSDOT Project Engineer James Harper. “The old highway right of way provides a perfect bypass that will let us maintain two-way traffic as we build the new bridge.” Work in Black Diamond Natural Area People who use the park and trails will be the first to notice the work as crews begin to clear the old roadway. Beginning in September, expect approximately 1,000 ft. of two trails to close west of SR 169. Approximately 500 ft. of trail that follows the old roadway to close permanently, requiring people to use nearby trails; the remainder will reopen in winter 2022. While the main part of this project is building a new bridge for the 12,000 vehicles a day that use SR 169, improvements are coming to two other old culverts in the Natural Area. The culvert under the temporary bypass will be removed and the one under the old railroad right of way will be replaced with a bridge for trail users. These areas will be restored with native vegetation. Improving Fish Passage The three existing culverts on Ravensdale Creek are narrow, which makes water travel too quickly for Chinook, coho, steelhead and other fish headed upstream. Removing one culvert and replacing the others with bridges will allow for a natural stream bed that will open an additional 2.4 mi. of habitat for migratory and resident fish. The majority of the funding for this $11.4 million project comes from the Connecting Washington funding package approved by the state Legislature in 2015. 
