Utilities 101: UDOT Digs Deep in St. George

By Jennifer Rupp CEG CORRESPONDENT

Bluff Street (SR 18) in St. George, Utah, is a highly-traveled roadway tasked with carrying an increasing load as the population in the area continues to grow. More than 44,000 cars per day travel the route and this number is expected to grow to 65,000 by 2040. To address this need, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) completed an environmental study in March of 2015 to evaluate various transportation options. Through careful analysis and close coordination with the local communities, a solution was identified which met transportation needs while minimizing impacts.

The $51 million project (including acqui-

sitions) is funded primary with state money and $1.8 million from local government sources. The four-fold undertaking includes: • Upgrading and improving all utilities which are buried in the current roadway including storm drain, culinary water, sewer, fiber optics, gas, electrical and an upgraded Advanced Traffic Management System; • increasing capacity by adding an additional northbound and southbound lane from 100 South to 1250 North through this heavily traveled section of roadway; • reconfiguring the intersection at Sunset Boulevard and Bluff Street to improve safety, traffic flow and handle projected traffic increases; and • adding a dedicated right turn lane from see UDOT page 6

Facebook to Build Data Center in Eagle Mountain City Eagle Mountain City, together with the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) and the Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCUtah) announced on May 30 that Facebook will begin construction of a 970,000 sq. ft. data center at the Sweetwater Industrial Park in Eagle Mountain, Utah.

Facebook’s investment includes more than $100 million in infrastructure, including a new electrical substation that will bring 1000 megawatts of new power delivery capacity to the region to support additional economic development in Eagle Mountain and the surrounding area. The data center would be powered by 100 percent, net-new renewable energy through utilization of Rocky Mountain Power’s available renewable energy tariffs. Facebook will purchase its own water rights and construct the required water infrastructure.

The data center facility is designed to be incredibly water-

Service

efficient and will reuse water multiple times.

“After a thorough search, we selected Eagle Mountain for a number of reasons — it provides good access to renewable energy, a strong talent pool, and a great set of partners,” said Rachel Peterson, VP of Data Center Strategy of Facebook.

“We are excited to make Utah our new home and look forward to a long and successful partnership with the state, the city of Eagle Mountain, and our new community.”

The data center in its first phase would increase property tax currently collected for the 490-acre site by 12,000 times.

The project represents a $750 million investment in Eagle Mountain, and will benefit the city, Utah County, Alpine School District, Central Utah Water Conservancy District, and Unified Fire Service Area.

On April 19, the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $17.68 million contract to Weeminuche Construction Authority of Towaoc, Colo., owned by the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, for modification work at Steinaker Dam near Vernal, Utah.

“This award represents the administration’s commitment to infrastructure improvement, public safety, and supporting the tribe in building its economy,” Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke said.

“Beyond improving the structure of Steinaker Dam, this work will result in a safer facility that will better serve water users and protect the surrounding community,” said Reclamation Commissioner Brenda Burman.

Steinaker Dam impounds an important off-stream reservoir fed by flows diverted from Ashley Creek via a two-mile feeder canal. It is an important part of the Central Utah Project and provides reliable water for Vernal and Jensen Unit CUP lands.

Restricted operations have been in place at

the dam since 2014 when a slope failure was observed on the upstream face of the right abutment. Upon completion of work under this contract, Reclamation anticipates a return to full and normal operations at the dam.

The firm, fixed-price construction contract will correct the problem at the right abutment. The work will include extending the existing outlet works concrete conduit with a steel-lined, concrete-encased conduit upstream; constructing a new cast-in-place concrete intake structure; and reconstruction of the embankment, including flattening the adjacent upstream slope.

Reclamation previously completed a full environmental assessment of the modification project, which resulted in a January 2017 Finding of No Significant Impact.

UDOT Increases Safety With $51M Bluff Street Project

Malcolm Drilling works on safeguarding against future slope erosion with the construction of a soil nail wall.

westbound St George Boulevard to northbound Bluff Street which will improve safety and mobility.

These upgrades will provide flexibility to accommodate future expansion as growth dictates and save money which can be allocated to other road projects in the area. Pedestrians and cyclists will have safe access to a new trail system in the area with a pedestrian box culvert under Bluff Street.

Construction began early this year with subsurface work under the direction of prime contractor Meadow Valley Contractors dba ACC Southwest of St. George. Six different utilities are buried in various locations under the current road: water, sewer, electric, natural gas, telephone and fiber optic communications. UDOT is adding a seventh — a new storm drain.

SUE Solutions, a subsurface utility engineering company in Lehi, was hired to coordinate with all the utilities and obtain schematic mapping from them. The engineers take the schematic information and physically locate the utilities in the field. Test holes are drilled on-site to pinpoint each utility in various spots to establish a vertical profile. By doing research prior to construction, the contractor is given the vital information to construct the roadway with no unplanned service interruptions to customers in the area.

ACC Southwest recently finished construction of a bridge widening on I-15 over the Virgin River just south of this project, and also reconfigured an intersection on St. George Boulevard (State Route 34) at 1000 East. For the Bluff Street project, ACC is working on the water and sewer lines, new storm drain, excavation and grading.

At the end of March, the project hit the 25 percent milestone with the completion of the new sewer and water lines around the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Bluff Street.

The project is on schedule to be finished in November of this year.

In response to input from businesses along the Bluff Street Corridor, UDOT, St. George City and ACC, new “business specific” access signs were put in place to enhance traffic flow and improve business accessibility.

According to UDOT, the project is going well and keeping on schedule overall. Two change orders have been processed, one for traffic lights being centered over traffic lanes and another to transport state furnished materials from Salt Lake City to St. George.

“We have found some contaminated soil that needed to be removed to the land fill. Coordination of multiple utility companies has been key to overcoming challenges,” said Kevin Kitchen, UDOT communication manager. “We have also identified several water seeps [springs] that have caused some minor delays while they work around them. These are the greatest construction challenges encountered up to this point.”

UDOT resident engineer Ray Bentley said he has been working very close with city of St. George Public Works Director, Cameron Cutler, whenever city approval or help is needed. He said they have been great to work with. He also noted the water, power, parks and sewer representatives have all been coming to the partnering meetings and/or helping with their parts.

Installation of the new gas line, which began at 100 South, will be completed in April. Flare Construction of Coalville was brought in because of its expertise with this type of piping.

UDOT reported that work on the 42-in. storm drain is progressing well. ACC crews are working in the 300 North block and will install about 150 ft. of pipe per day — weather permitting. The new storm drain will keep the road clear of water during times of heavy rain. There are approximately 5,000 linear ft. of storm drain to be installed along the corridor.

Installation of the soil nail wall from the corner of Airport Road and Bluff Street along the west slope to 100 South is continuing. Long, steel soil nails are drilled into the rock face of the slope to stabilize the area and prevent future erosion.

Malcolm Drilling Company Inc. of Salt Lake City will install up to 43 soil nails along this stretch of embankment.

Another slope protecting wall is under construction just south of the Bluff Street and Sunset Boulevard intersection on the west side of Bluff Street. This area will be fortified with steel rods and mesh, which is then pneumatically sprayed with shotcrete, a concrete mixture. These measures will protect the area from future slope erosion.

New signal and lighting foundations are being installed by Tri-State Electric & Utility, Inc. of St. George. The whole corridor will get a new Advance Traffic Management System from Safe City Systems (SCS), which will help with traffic flow and safety.

ACC continues to move material to create the new alignment for the intersection of Bluff Street and Sunset Boulevard. The new alignment shifts the intersection to the

southwest. Western Rock Products, another St. George local, will be laying the pavement, and Kokopelli Landscape, based in Mesquite, Nev., will wind up the venture with landscaping. When the project is complete, all utilities in the area will be modern and are expected to last 30 to 40 years.

ACC also is working to maintain driveway and road approaches through the project. Due to the recent rain in the area, rock and road base have been added to several of the approaches to help with mud. With the amount of traffic traveling and accessing properties along the corridor, these crews are constantly busy.

During the 1930’s, the St. George Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp #2558 was located on the area now occupied by the Red Hills Golf Course. Archaeologists from Bighorn Archaeological Consultants are monitoring construction activity along the western edge of the golf course and will be available to further investigate in the event of any subsurface discoveries.

The Bluff Street Corridor Project is an integrated improvement enhancing the way citizens connect and use the Bluff Street Corridor whether by auto, public transit, cycling or walking. At the current growth rate in the city of St. George, engineers estimate that once these changes are complete, additional transportation expansion in the area would not be necessary until 2030.

Link-Belt 110RT Works in Wasatch Mountains in Utah Big-D Construction of Salt Lake City, Utah, recently took ownership of a new 110ton (100-t) 110RT rough terrain crane for a project in northern Utah. In order to accommodate the requirements of the 30-acre job site in a ravine in the Wasatch Mountains, Big-D Construction needed a crane with a small footprint with excellent reach to place more than 280,000 sq. ft. of heavy PERI forms for 18 in. (45.7 cm) thick reinforced concrete foundation walls.

“I asked for the 110RT specifically since we used Link-Belt machines in the past in this configuration. We used the 90-ton [RTC-8090 Series II] on other projects, and we’ve used the 130-ton [RTC-80130 Series II], so we wanted the 110RT on this project, knowing what it could accomplish. The RTC-8090 Series II worked in Montana in the winter at about a 9,000 ft. altitude and it did a great job. Here, we are only about 6,800 ft. high, with hot and windy summers and snow comes early,” said Shaun Boydston, superintendent of Big-D Construction.

Construction on the mountain location requires crew on the ground to move around a lot of materials from a single delivery point on the job site. Other requirements include pouring concrete, placing rebar columns for heavier construction, and lifting and placing up to 13,000 lb. (5,896 kg) panels that measure 24 to 30 ft. (7.3 to 9.1 m) wide and up to 34 ft. (10.3 m) tall.

“We have to ensure we have enough range and capacity to get to where the crews are working. We build our way out, reaching back to the hillside where the formwork is ongoing. We are working at about a 130-foot radius with large panels. We basically set the machine inside the footprint of the building.

The crane’s boom is fully scoped to 164 feet for hours at a time to make sure we give ourselves enough range and capacity,” Boydston explained.

More than 560 panels are placed when working on the back foundation wall nearest to the mountain. Forms weighing between 1,500 to 5,900 lbs. (680 to 2,676 kg) must be placed at a radius up to 127 ft. (38.7 m).

Complete control was needed over the panels as they are placed at the base of each wall to start forming the two-story, 12-unit building. Native grass roofs will finish off the units as not to appear as typical “roof tops” but as part of the natural landscape.

UDOT Names Teri Newell as Additional RMP Opens RFP Deputy Director of the Department for Energy Projects

Teri Newell

UDOT Executive Director Carlos Braceras announced he has named Teri Newell as an additional deputy director of the department.

The additional deputy director will help guide the department as it moves to address issues relating to Utah’s growing population, advances in technology and the evolution of the transportation industry.

The newly-created position comes after the passing of SB 136, which addressed the governance of transportation in Utah.

Newell joins Braceras and Deputy Director Shane Marshall in leading the department’s more than 1,600 employees. The executive team also oversees the design, construction and maintenance of Utah’s 6,000 mi. of state roads and highways.

“Teri has proven herself as an innovative leader,” Braceras said.

“Her work as Region Three director and as the project manager for the Mountain View Corridor has helped to prepare her to take an active role

shaping this new position and in helping to lead UDOT into its exciting transportation future.”

Newell begins her new role immediately. For the past five years, she has served as UDOT’s Region Three director, and was responsible for the construction and maintenance of state roads in Utah, Juab, Wasatch, Duchesne, Uintah and Daggett counties.

Prior to her role as UDOT’s first female region director, Newell spent 10 years taking the Mountain View Corridor from a concept, through the environmental process, to completion of the initial phases. Before joining UDOT, Newell was the operations director of Salt Lake County, and held other positions in the private sector.

Newell will continue to lead Region Three activities until a new region director is announced.

In response to broad demand from communities and businesses for electric power from renewable energy sources, Rocky Mountain Power is seeking cost-competitive bids for solar, wind and geothermal energy projects in Utah to interconnect to the PacifiCorp system.

Customers sponsoring the request for proposal include Park City, Salt Lake City, Summit County, Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort and Utah Valley University, which are all working with Rocky Mountain Power to meet its clean air and sustainability goals through renewable energy.

“Rocky Mountain Power has a successful history of partnering with our customers and communities,” said Cindy Crane, CEO of Rocky Mountain Power. “We are continuing that tradition by bringing new renewable energy to our customers that have aggressive renewable and sustainability goals, while still providing affordable, reliable electricity to all of our customers.”

The company is seeking proposals for 308,000 megawatt hours of power generation, which equates to approximately 40 MW of geothermal capacity or approximately 100 to 126 MW of wind or solar capacity. This is enough electricity to power about 34,000 typical homes in Utah.

This RFP also seeks renewable projects to meet the demand of the next offering of Subscriber Renewables — building off of the success of the initial Subscriber Solar program, which has been fully subscribed and has a long waiting list of customers ready for more power to be available.

Subscriber Renewables will allow enrolling Rocky Mountain Power customers to get some or all of their energy from renewable sources.

Federal Funding Boost to Accelerate Completion of Water Resource Project Judge Scraps Ban on Coal Shipments

Utah’s largest and most comprehensive water resource development program is one step closer to completion, due to $15 million in construction funding championed by Rep. Chris Stewart and approved by the U.S. House Appropriations Committee.

The Central Utah Project (CUP) captures a large portion of Utah’s share of Colorado River water from the Uinta Basin and moves it through several reservoirs to eight counties along the Wasatch Front and Central Utah.

Each year, the CUP system delivers more than 350,000 acre ft. of water (equivalent to filling the Utah State Capitol with water 167 times) that is critical for the explosive growth Utah has seen and will continue to see over the next several decades.

“Many Utahns don’t realize that the water coming out of their tap has traveled hundreds of miles to get there as part of the Central Utah Project,” said Gene Shawcroft, general manager of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District.

“It’s crucial that we finish what we started to ensure adequate water supply for our booming population.”

CUP started in partnership with the federal government in 1956 to meet Utah’s long-term water needs. The federal government is contractually obligated to fund a portion of the construction that will all be repaid by water users.

However, years of inadequate federal funding forced Central Utah Water Conservancy District to tap its own resources to keep the project moving, and with only one last pipeline left to build to complete the project, the previous Administration cut construction funding down to zero. Since 2012, the Utah delegation has united to fight these cuts and has restored construction funding incrementally.

“As Utah’s only member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, Congressman Stewart has been an important leader and advocate of the project,” Shawcroft said. “We thank him for his hard work to restore these funds that are so vital to Utah’s future. This increase represents a significant comeback for a project that was facing real uncertainty and delay due to federal funding cuts.”

Congress has been clear that the Department of Interior should direct any additional funding for the project toward construction. On May 16 the U.S. House Appropriations Committee approved a $5 million funding increase over last year, for a total of $15 million for fiscal year 2019. If that funding level is passed by Congress and maintained in future years, the project could be completed within five years.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A federal judge in California has struck down the city of Oakland’s ban on coal shipments through its port.

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria on May 15 sided with a developer who wants to use a proposed marine terminal to transport coal from Utah to Asia.

Chhabria said the City Council did not have enough evidence that the coal operations would pose a substantial health or safety danger.

City leaders approved the rail and marine terminal in 2013 as part of a makeover of a shuttered Army base.

But they voted to ban shipments of coal and petroleum coke, a solid derived from oil refining.

The $250 million terminal is in west Oakland, a historically African-American neighborhood that is among the poorest and most polluted in the region.

Facebook Project Adds Jobs FACEBOOK from page 1

coordinated effort among state, county, and local officials, this project is a big win for Eagle Mountain and Utah,” said Eagle Mountain Mayor Tom Westmoreland. “The fact that a company of this stature has chosen to partner with Eagle Mountain and invest here says a lot about our community and insures that we will have the economic base necessary to be a well-balanced city.”

The Facebook data center is expected to employ 30 to 50 people full time, with potential for more contract workers. This modest increase in employee headcount is appealing to Eagle Mountain City as it will not significantly impact local resources such as schools, fire and police services, or traffic in the rapidly growing area recently ranked

by Census data as the fourth fastest-growing city in Utah.

“The state of Utah will benefit from the tremendous opportunity of welcoming Facebook to Eagle Mountain and Utah County,” said Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert.

“This deal has been brought to fruition through cooperation and hard work across multiple agencies and stakeholders, setting an example for the rest of the nation in how to create a win-win economic benefit for our state both now and in the future.”

Over the past decade, Eagle Mountain City has developed and executed a master plan of leveraging data centers to build its tax base and economic foundation. City officials have worked with GOED, members of the state legislature, EDCUtah and Utah County officials on this Facebook data center facility and see it as a big first step to turn Eagle Mountain and Utah County into a hub of activity for the data center industry in the Western United States.

“A deal like bringing in Facebook requires dozens of entities and thousands of hours of work, much of which was undertaken by Eagle Mountain, Utah County and state officials,” said Theresa Foxley, president and CEO of EDCUtah. “The potential for financial return and infrastructure development is self-evident for this project, and really sets the city, county and state up for future success.”

Construction will begin this month and the data center is expected to come online in 2020.
