$692M State Prison Under Construction in Salt Lake City

In March 2017, the state legislature authorized $100 million to be spent on infrastructure, bringing the total project cost of the new state prison to $692 million.

By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

Designed to help inmates successfully re-enter the community, a multi-million dollar prison under construction in Salt Lake City, Utah, will provide an environment aimed at reducing the state’s incarceration levels. Upon completion of the project in 2021, prisoners at the current lockup in Draper will be transferred to the new Utah State Correctional Facility, located less than 30 mi. away. “We are very excited to see progress,” said Jerry Jensen, a member of the Utah Department of Corrections facilities/transition

Service

team. “We have worked very hard on the planning, site selection and design, which has more open space, natural light and provides for the normalized environment we are seeking to aid in the rehabilitative aspects of corrections. It also allows for direct supervision, safer offender movements and adds numerous operational efficiencies.” In March 2017, the state legislature authorized $100 million to be spent on infrastructure, bringing the total project cost to $692 million. In August, dignitaries officially broke ground on the 3,600-bed structure, following years of discussions and initial public outcry

over the location. “Ultimately, this project is about making the state of Utah safer for our communities, and making the facility safer for the people who work, volunteer and live there,” said Jensen. “Our current facility doesn’t have the space or design needed to accommodate the treatment, education and therapy programs that are essential to helping people change the criminal patterns that brought them to prison.” In addition to better responding to the needs of a changing inmate population, the development will reportedly provide numerous jobs and significantly increase the tax revenue for the city and state.

The initial site work will involve an average of 30 double-belly dump and 15 truck and pups hauling an average of 9,000 tons of AIA fill material and 4,000 tons of gravel a day for approximately four months to place the initial fill for the project.

Jensen noted that a great deal of time and effort went into the project’s planning. “The new correctional facility was a highly-prioritized public policy decision that took years to make a reality. The project required legislative approval, com-

munity input, financial resource dedication and a commitment for improved program delivery, using evidence-based practices in the design.” Kevin Miller, Utah Department of Corrections executive director, see PRISON page 6

Salt Lake City Aiming to Bid for 2030 Winter Olympics By Brady McCombs ASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Utah officials, studying the possibility of Salt Lake City making a bid to host another Winter Olympics, said they would rather host the games in 2030, but could be ready if they’re needed for 2026. Hosting the games after the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles would provide a better opportunity to raise sponsorship dollars, said Fraser Bullock, cochairman of the committee and a key player in the city’s 2002 Olympics. Los Angeles has exclusive rights to negotiate first with potential sponsors to help fund their games, meaning hosting the games before them would be more complicated than after, Bullock said. “But if nobody else bids for 2026, we would certainly be available,” Bullock said. Denver and Reno, Nevada have also expressed interest in the U.S.

Internationally, cities considering making a bid include Sion, Switzerland; Calgary, Canada; and Sapporo, Japan. The Salt Lake City committee held its second meeting, discussing in broad strokes budget, venues, staffing, transportation and environmental issues. The group is leaning toward recommending that the city make another bid but will issue its full report to state leaders on Feb. 1. It will include a budget estimate and other detailed plans. Salt Lake City’s pitch would be centered on being able to host the Olympics for less money than other cities by using existing venues. Some venues need improvements and refurbishing, but officials say they wouldn’t have to build anything from scratch. It’s likely to still cost $1.2-$1.6 billion, officials have said. “Our budget will be a fraction of every other bid city that is out there,” Bullock said. Even though the 2030 Olympics

would normally be awarded in 2023, Bullock said Utah must have its bid ready much earlier. Bullock said there’s a chance the International Olympic Committee awards the 2026 and 2030 games at the same time in 2019. That’s what the IOC did in September for the first time ever, awarding the 2024 Summer Olympics to Paris and the 2028 Summer Olympics to Los Angeles. Salt Lake City would first have to persuade the United States Olympic Committee it’s a better candidate than Denver and Reno because the country can only put one city in the bidding per cycle. The USOC has until next March to pick a city for 2026, though chief executive Scott Blackmun said in December that officials believe the 2030 Winter Olympics are more realistic. He said though they are still keeping open the possibility of making a bid for 2026. Denver, which famously rejected an offer to host the 1976 Winter Olympics, has assembled a com-

mittee to take a tough-minded look at whether the city should pursue a bid for another Olympics. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock has asked the group, which includes former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning as well as Gov. John Hickenlooper and the heads of companies such as Vail Resorts and Liberty Global, to look at whether the Olympics could be privately financed, gauge community support and study the possible environmental impact. Among the international cities with interest, Bullock said he thinks Sion, Switzerland, is the best candidate. But, he said the European country needs to generate support first from its residents and lawmakers. Utah officials said they have polling that shows nearly nine in 10 state residents approve the idea of hosting the Olympics again. Utah Gov. Gary Herbert thinks Salt Lake City should make the bid, saying that the state still reaps benefits from hosting the 2002

Winter Olympics, which not only brought billions in spending but invaluable exposure. “Foreign direct investment in Utah comes with this exposure,” Herbert said. “It was a great door opener for us on international business.” If Utah officials decide to bid, they may have to answer questions about a bidding scandal that marred the 2002 Games and resulted in several International Olympic Committee members losing their positions for taking bribes. Bullock said he’s not worried because the 2002 Olympics were a success and the current IOC members remember that and not the scandal. “We have a new group of IOC members who think of Salt Lake City very fondly,” Bullock said.

Construction Industry Struggles With Labor Shortage By Karissa Neely THE DAILY HERALD

PROVO, Utah (AP) When looking at the changing skyline of Lehi and Pleasant Grove’s technology corridors, or the cranes swinging across downtown Provo, one would think the construction industry is going gangbusters. It is, but not without its challenges. According to research by Ken Simonson, the chief economist for the Associated General Contractors of America, the construction industry is generally very robust. Utah sits in the middle of the pack, adding about 4,000 jobs in the past year. “Construction firms in many parts of the country continue to expand to keep up with demand for their services,” Simonson said in an Oct. 31 industry report. “Yet construction growth would likely have been even more robust if contractors could find more qualified construction workers to hire.”

Multiple Utah general contractors agree with Simonson, saying Utah has its own labor shortage. Many point to the Great Recession as one of the causes for this deficiency. Thousands of Utah plumbers, electricians, carpenters and general contractors left the industry in the wake of the construction crash that occurred in 2009 and 2010. Many of them have not returned to the business, even though construction across all sectors in Utah has soundly rebounded. “Prior to the downturn, at our peak there were about 100,000 construction workers in Utah. During the downturn only 60,000 workers stayed in the industry, and the downturn lasted for quite some time,” said Rob Moore, CEO of Big-D Construction. Moore said many baby boomers left during the recession, either retiring early or opting for alternative careers. “And many very good companies went out of business then,”

Moore said. Utah’s numbers still haven’t returned to peak figures, even though the state is one of the most robust economies of the nation, and Utah’s construction industry is at its healthiest. Just in the last year, Moore said, the construction industry brought in about $5 billion to the state. “The construction workforce is the largest market sector here in need of workers,” Moore said. Dustin Brinkerhoff of Brinkerhoff Custom Construction sees effects of the labor shortage in “every job, every day.” He feels there also is a generation gap in the industry now. There are many midcareer skilled workers, but very few millennials are joining the workforce. “There’s a shortage of young, skilled labor,” Brinkerhoff said, explaining that many millennials don’t seem to want to put in the physical labor and hard work the industry demands. Finding young workers who aren’t fixated on their

phones, have a vehicle and know how to work and are motivated to work is very difficult today. We need kids, just like I was,” he said. Brinkerhoff Construction has been a business for 40 years, and Dustin Brinkerhoff took it over from his father. “We need them to come up in the business, and by the time you’re a business owner, you know how to do all types of jobs. Maybe young kids don’t see the glamor in construction, but it’s great. It’s one of the American Dream businesses.” Simonson’s research supports this. A Nov. 3 Associated General Contractors of America report shows the average hourly earnings in the industry sit at $29.06 in 2017. Simonson explained that “construction pays nearly 10 percent more per hour than the average non-farm private-sector job in the United States, which pays an average of $26.53 per hour.” “It’s a good field,” Brinkerhoff added. “If a young kid is motivat-

ed, and they’re willing to step up, they could be making good money in just a few months.” “We’re going through some really tough times right now trying to get labor, and it’s very tough on smaller contractors,” Moore added, explaining that Big-D has been mostly insulated from this problem because they are one of the largest general contractors in the nation. With 1,320 Utah employees, Big-D is one of the few companies in the state that pays 100 percent of its employees’ health care costs, also while funding their health savings accounts. “We’re working on helping people know the construction industry can support a family,” he added. “It’s a great time to be in construction.” For more information, visit heraldextra.com.

Phaze Concrete Creates Advanced Training Techniques Phaze Concrete’s work is recognized across the country, but it’s the way they have treated their employees that is turning heads. In 2016, the company partnered with the Department of Labor’s Department of Apprenticeships. This partnership created an exciting and unique education work program that was first in the area. The program has been hugely successful, helping many potential employees earn a quality education. The importance of this type of apprenticeship program became highlighted by Alexander Acosta, United States Secretary of Labor. He attended the G-20 Labor and Employment Ministers Meeting in May 2017, where he echoed the support of the program. White House Recognizes Apprenticeship Program The White House Office of American Innovation has become equally committed to encouraging and supporting apprenticeships across the country. The department hopes to increase the number of quality apprenticeships that are available to young workers in the United States. This mission is critical in the construction sector, which has been emerging with high growth potential.

The Phaze Concrete program is one of some 37,000 different programs sponsors offered around the country. The company has become thoroughly dedicated to ensuring that proper training becomes provided and top quality. GED Training for Employees, Families Another different aspect of the way Phaze Concrete treats its employees is offering GED assistance. Any employee who does not have their GED can participate in education and take the exam. “We don’t want our workers solely to come to work and earn a paycheck and go home,” said a Phaze Concrete spokesperson. “We want them to come and have a significant experience, learning interchangeable skills. Also, this helps them improve every perspective of their life. Workers, regardless of their age, will have the possibility to finish their GED, if they have not earned a high school diploma or equivalency.” This program is not only offered to every employee but also their families. “Phaze Concrete gives the GED course that is accessible to all employees and family members of our employees,” added the

company spokesperson. The construction and concrete industries have become some of the most critical sectors in the nation, offering employment to millions of Americans. The industry continues to expand with more jobs and opportunities. Focus on Developing More Work for Concrete Sector With President Donald Trump’s commitment to highlighting business and infrastructure, it is likely that the industry will see more significant growth in the coming years. Phaze Concrete has indicated that it is ready to guarantee that there will be a workforce to meet this demanding industry. Implementing these training programs for young workers and adults have become necessary with the skills required to work with cement. The popularity of Phaze Concrete’s program speaks for itself, with many seeking positions and moving up the concrete and construction job ladder. Because of proper training and education, the company has always been bound to continuously enhancing the quality of their work and to increase efficiency. To achieve these high marks, Phaze Concrete ensures that all

employees work together. Also, as a team, the workers are creating a safe, expert, and engaging atmosphere where everybody wants to work toward the task at hand. Safety in Workplace and High Work Rates This quality policy and atmosphere have translated into their performance. The Experience Modification (EMOD) rating currently stands at 0.72 percent for Phaze Concrete. Today, Phaze Concrete has more than 250 staff members. Because of its large workforce, the company can not only work on projects in concrete at a high rate but also work in utilities and earthwork all over the western side of the United States. Also, its crew members focus on finishing jobs ahead of schedule and within budget. The unique programs and talented workforce of Phaze Concrete continue to make the company the top choice for concrete and construction work. For more information, visit phazeconcrete.com/.

Safety, Security Issues Important in Prison Construction PRISON from page 1

said officials were challenged with embracing new ways of thinking about incarceration, as well as designing a facility that improves the outcomes of the offender’s sentence. “The prison has very specific and mission critical imperatives for safety and security, but those are simply a part of the list of design determinants that influence the solution. A secure environment is, perhaps, more functionally driven than other project types, but that’s a matter of degrees, not a wholesale difference. We’re very concerned with the durability of the materials that are used and the ease with which the facility can be maintained, largely because once the facility is occupied, any maintenance is difficult to achieve. “The cost of these facilities is high to begin with, and public sentiment is never favorable toward them. Aesthetic considerations are often a lesser priority than in the typical project, but Director Cook has been clear that he believes a more normative environment improves offender outcomes, so we’re doing the best with what we have.” One of the most interesting features of the building, said Miller, will be the housing section solutions. “We have the entire range of inmates in this facility, which in and of itself is unusual, leading to a complete range of housing requirements, from the closest custody to something along the lines of a military barracks you might see in a movie. Typically, each of those

housing types would have its own unique configuration.” Miller said a 64-bed standard cell-based housing section has the same organization and footprint as a 64-bed cubicle dorm. “We think this is a good budget strategy, and we also think it’s a good management approach. Procedures and processes will be more standardized, incident response will be more uniform and the corrections officer moving from one housing type to another will intuitively know how the section works, even though the way the beds are provided is different. “The feature that the average person will be most surprised by is the amount of daylight we’ve introduced into the housing sections. Daylight, and a visual connection to the natural environment, has a dramatically positive impact on the behavior of inmates. They are less stressed, and are easier to manage, more likely to behave appropriately and more likely to take advantage of the programs and services that prevent reoffending.” Said Miller, “Those same benefits accrue to the corrections officers that spend their entire working lives inside these facilities. It’s not just a better place to work, it’s a place that allows them to do a better job. Providing daylight is a requirement of the national standards, but the way that we are providing it achieves outcomes that are far beyond the standard’s expectations. “Both the staff and the offenders spend extended periods in this environment, and we are firm

In August 2017, dignitaries officially broke ground on the 3,600-bed structure, following years of discussions and initial public outcry over the location.

believers in the power of architecture and designed environments. To that end, we are working within the palette of materials and the budget constraints to find an expression that’s appropriate for the facility.” Officials are early in the design process, with the final square footage of the facility changing each day. The target is approximately 1.2 million square feet of space, including recreation and religious programming spaces, along with occupational training “The prison environment can emphasize behaviors, actions and

responsibilities that either mimic the outside world, improving the chances of successful reintegration, or it can create an environment where the behaviors, actions and responsibilities that lead to success in prison are completely alien to normal society.” BDK is the project consultant, while Layton Oakland serves as the general contractor. Marilee Richins, deputy director, Utah Department of Administrative Services, said the project is not without its share of challenges. “The new site is on undeveloped land that has none of the required

infrastructure in place. Easements, utilities, land purchases and coordination with multiple project stakeholders is required prior to finalization of design packages.” Approximately 60 percent of the widening of the frontage road is complete. Work on Haul Road began in mid-December 2016. This involved building a temporary 2-mi. road to the job site, installation of a temporary high voltage power line and constructing the contractor staging area.

New Prison Design Includes Care for Aging, Mentally Ill

Key tasks yet to be carried out include the completion of the project design, installation of permanent utilities and roads and construction of the new facilities. Upon completion of the project in 2021, prisoners at the current lockup in Draper will be transferred to the new Utah State Correctional Facility, located less than 30 mi. away. PRISON from page 6

started in November 2017. “The temporary access road and contractor staging area required 64,000 cubic yards of structural fill,” said Richins. “The construction did encounter several soft soil areas that required additional stabilization to improve the ground to meet the traffic loading anticipated for the construction of the Utah State Correctional Facility.” So far, the elements have not had a significant impact on construction. “Weather has not been a factor beyond typical Utah conditions. The soil on the site is predominantly clay, and rain and snow can cause issues for access on the site. This will be an issue until the initial fill package is completed.” Key tasks yet to be carried out include the completion of the project design, installation of permanent utilities and roads and construction of the new facilities. There are currently 30 people working at the job site each day, five days a week, with some Saturday work. Numerous other individuals are working on the design and support for the project. Anticipated peak labor will be around 2,000 tradespeople. The project is located in an area of undeveloped land used as a winter grazing location for cattle. Wildlife is found all around the site. Adjacent wetlands are identified and reviewed for compliance with regulations and permits. The construction team will monitor ground water dis-

charge, dust control and mitigation, storm water management and disturbance to areas adjacent to the project site. A wildlife expert hired by the state of Utah confirms the presence of burrowing owls and their burrows, and establishes boundaries and protocol to maintain their burrows and guidelines to minimize habitat conducive to their nesting, thereby reducing the potential of owls nesting on the project site. As work continues on the project, crews anticipate the quantity of fill materials to be 877,000 to 950,000 cu. yds., depending on the final elevations on the site. The initial site work will involve an average of 30 double-belly dump and 15 truck and pups hauling an average of 9,000 tons of AIA fill material and 4,000 tons of gravel a day for approximately four months to place the initial fill for the project. Heavy equipment typical of large highway projects is used for the placement and compaction of the imported materials on the site. The next site activity will involve similar operations to construct building pads and raise the elevation on the site to finish grades. Building construction will require multiple large cranes, fork lifts and miscellaneous equipment to erect the buildings and finish the site. Some of the main materials being used during construction will include concrete; precast and steel cells; structural steel; roofing materials; glass and glazing; metal studs and drywall; glass and

detention glazing; security systems; electrical and mechanical systems; and paint and finishes typically found on construction projects. Officials are looking ahead to several milestones, including the start of vertical construction on the site in August 2019; substantial completion of the first housing unit by July 2020; and near completion of all detention housing on the site by January of the following year. According to Michael Ambre, assistant director, Utah Division of Facilities Construction & Management, watching work get under way on the project see PRISON page 10

Anticipated peak labor will be around 2,000 tradespeople.

There are currently 30 people working at the job site each day, five days a week, with some Saturday work.

The current schedule has the prison ready to accept inmates in the second quarter of 2021, which allows for commissioning of the new facility, along with staff training.” For Miller, the prison project represents a new beginning. “The ‘dull gray box’, the clang of barred doors and the din of hundreds of offenders echoing off concrete walls, floors and ceilings is simply an expression of a collective attitude that prison ought to be

as uncomfortable as possible. That’s a notion that resonates with all of us, I think, to some degree.

CEG

DBM Global to Acquire MSS DBM Global Inc., a family of companies providing fully-integrated structural and steel construction services, and an operating subsidiary of HC2 Holdings Inc., announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of Mountain States Steel Inc. A premier structural steel fabricator founded in 1949 by the Olsen family, Mountain States Steel has a modern fabrication facility located on approximately 32 acres in Lindon, Utah. MSS has an extensive track record of successfully delivering structural steel for many iconic projects throughout the Western United States, including the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge; Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority Bridge; Mile High Stadium (home of the NFL’s Denver Broncos); Paris Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas; and many other bridges, athletic stadiums, commercial buildings, hospitals, and power plants. The MSS assets will be integrated into DBM’s subsidiary Schuff Steel Company. “The acquisition of Mountain States Steel will enhance Schuff Steel’s fabrication capabilities in the bridge and infrastructure sectors, and provide additional fabrication capacity to support projects in Utah and across the Western United States,” said

Rustin Roach, chief executive officer of DBM Global. “We are especially excited about the addition of MSS’s bridge fabrication capabilities, which builds upon our recent acquisition of Candraft VSI, a premier bridge detailer and 3D modeler. Through acquisitions of complementary companies, we continue to enhance the uniquely comprehensive set of services we provide to our customers, which in turn allows us to deliver increased value for our shareholders.” “Our team is excited to join Schuff Steel and the DBM Global family of companies, including DBM’s other complementary businesses — BDS VirCon, Candraft and PDC,” said Chris Olsen, president of MSS. “We have a rich tradition of providing the finest quality product, on schedule, to valued customers, and our team will continue to make that happen as part of Schuff Steel.” Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but DBM will complete the acquisition with cash on hand. The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.
