The approval granted today allows the highly anticipated economic development project to break ground. “This is an incredibly important and exciting time, not just for the LVCVA but for the entire destination. With today’s approval, we’re delighted to join a boom in development that’s on a scale that we haven’t seen in more than a decade,” said Steve Hill, LVCVA chief executive officer. “We’ve been the No. 1 trade show destination in North America for 24 consecutive years, but we must continue to be innovative and upgrade our offerings if we’re going to maintain that top spot. This expansion and renovation is our commitment to our clients and our community to foster growth and continue to deliver the excellent service and amenities that have made Las Vegas the world’s premier destination.” The LVCVA Board approved the construction manager-at-risk contract of $792 million, which includes a GMP of $758 million. Additional costs related to construction, design and consulting could bring the overall project cost for the Phase Two expansion to an expected total of $935 million. The GMP was negotiated by LVCVA staff, Cordell Corporation, the

(Phase Three) are expected to support nearly 14,000 construction jobs and more than 7,800 full-time permanent jobs upon completion. The project will generate an additional $2.1 billion in economic activity during construction and upon completion will have an annual incremental economic impact of $810 million while attracting more than 600,000 additional visitors each year. The project will allow the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority to pursue new business opportunities while also growing the shows currently taking place in the destination. The LVCCD Phase Two expansion project will add 1.4 million sq. ft. to the current convention center facility, including at least 600,000 sq. ft. of new, leasable exhibit space.

agency’s contracted owner’s representative and the project’s construction manager at risk, Turner Martin-Harris. Construction of the Phase Two expansion is expected to begin shortly. The expansion is slated for completion in time to welcome CES in 2021. The LVCCD Phase Two expansion project will feature stunning design, cutting-edge technology and contemporary meeting and working spaces. It will add 1.4 million sq. ft. to the current convention center facility, including at least 600,000 sq. ft. of new, leasable exhibit space. Late last year, the LVCVA’s Board of Directors finalized the selection of tvsdesign / Design Las Vegas to provide design services for the expansion. “The expansion and renovation

of the Las Vegas Convention Center will take our ability to bring business to the destination to a new level by allowing us to welcome more shows, more exhibitors and more delegates,” said Lawrence Weekly, chairman of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Clark County commissioner. “In addition to ensuring our economic future, this project will give us a cutting-edge facility with a dynamic design fit for one of the world’s most iconic cities.” Phase Three will be the complete renovation of the existing 3.2 million-sq.-ft. facility, with a projected completion date of 2023. The phased approach ensures that no business will be displaced during the construction and renovation. LVCVA staff worked in part-

nership with Cordell Corporation to develop the vision for the expansion and renovation project. Each year, Las Vegas hosts approximately 22,000 meetings, conventions and trade shows, which support an estimated 65,000 jobs paying $2.7 billion in wages and salaries. In 2017, the Las Vegas Convention Center hosted 21 percent of convention attendees traveling to southern Nevada, which supported approximately 13,800 jobs, paying more than $576 million in wages and salaries. Including indirect and induced impacts, the Las Vegas Convention Center’s attendees generated $2.1 billion in economic impact for the local economy.

Las Vegas as a Business Destination Las Vegas hosts approximately 22,000 meetings, conventions and trade shows each year. The destination boasts more than 11.5 million sq. ft. of meeting space in addition to a wide array of event, dining and entertainment venues that are also used for group business. In 2018, Trade Show News Network recognized Las Vegas as the No. 1 trade show destination in the country for the 24th consecutive year. The Las Vegas Convention Center supports 13,800 local jobs and $2.1 billion in local economic impact.

Oklahoma Transportation Commission OKs ODOT’s $6.5B Eight-Year Plan Key transportation plans are now on track to improve Oklahoma’s highway and county road systems over the next several years. On Sept. 10, the Oklahoma Transportation Commission approved updated infrastructure plans for the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and for the off-system roads and bridges maintained by counties. The largest of these plans is ODOT’s Eight-Year Construction Work Plan for Federal Fiscal Year 2019-2026, which prioritizes critically needed highway projects and is updated each year based on available state and federal funding projections. This latest approved version contains nearly $6.5 billion in planned work on state bridges and highways for the next eight years. The Eight-Year Plan had suffered an unprecedented set-back one year ago when ODOT was forced to delay and even remove projects due to the impact of $840 million in cumulative state funding reductions in the past seven years. However, recent actions by the Legislature to stabilize funding along with careful balancing by ODOT have allowed this latest version while keeping its goal of having existing structurally deficient highway bridges to less than 1 percent by the end of the decade and also allowing for a new focus on pavement projects. “It’s very exciting to be in the position of delivering on the promise of getting our highway bridges in a manageable condition after decades of having some of the worst bridges in the nation,” said Mike Patterson, secretary of transportation and ODOT executive director. “Now that state funding has stabilized and the plan has been rebalanced, we’re focusing on the next priorities which are major highway pavement improvement projects involving mobility issues and further safety improvements that are desperately needed statewide.” Those projects include improving pavement conditions, adding shoulders to two-lane highways and addressing growing urban highway congestion. Even as the state nears its decade-old goal to address all remaining structurally deficient highway bridges by 2020, ODOT estimates that 90 bridges will still have to be replaced or rehabilitated each year just to keep up with the aging infrastructure system in an effort to sus-

tain progress. The FFY 2019-2026 Eight-year Construction Work Plan for ODOT includes: • Nearly $6.5 billion in federal, state and local transportation funding; • 1,386 total projects; • 686 highway bridge replacements or major rehabilitations; • more than 720 mi. of added shoulders or other improvements to two-lane highways (nearly 25 more miles than the previous plan); • 152 mi. of interstate pavement improvements; and • nearly $400 million in projects to address urban highway congestion. Examples of New Major Projects • An estimated $80 million widening and improvement project on I-44 in Tulsa from the Arkansas River west to Union Ave. in Tulsa. This project is being made possible thanks to a recent $45 million federal Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant and is currently scheduled for FFY 2021 bid. • An estimated $3 million modification of I-35 at the John Kilpatrick Turnpike in Oklahoma City to add another north and southbound lane for through traffic, scheduled for a bid in FFY 2026. • All phases of the U.S.-81 realignment around Chickasha to be programmed. • An estimated $20 million reconstruction of U.S.-70 in Choctaw County between SH-209 and the McCurtain County line, scheduled for a bid in FFY 2026. The $473 million ODOT Asset Preservation Plan for State Fiscal Years 2019-2022 also was approved by the Oklahoma Transportation Commission. This is a companion piece to the Eight-Year Construction Work Plan and focuses on preventative maintenance projects designed to extend the life of highway infrastructure. The plan contains nearly 400 projects addressing 150 bridges and more than 1,220 mi. of pavement. There are also 44 projects to improve highways to Americans With Disabilities Act standards with curb ramps, traffic signal push buttons for pedestrians, crosswalks and sidewalks. Also approved was the County

Improvements of Roads and Bridges Construction Work Plan for State Fiscal Years 2019-2023. This plan allows counties to develop and schedule projects to improve roads and bridges on its system, and is the one county program, which ODOT has oversight responsibility for construction contracts. While the previous year’s plan was estimated at $926 million and contained nearly 400 local bridge projects and improvements to more than 800 miles of county roads, cumulative legislative funding reductions have impacted this latest version. The latest plan is now estimated at $877 million and will address 344 local bridges and 833 mi. of county roads during the next five years. “The county commissioners and their partners have done tremendous work to rebalance their plan to reflect the latest amounts of available funding for the CIRB program,” Patterson said. “Despite the reductions, they’ve been able to program a similar number of projects to the previous plan and also keep their bridge improvements in focus.” Since being first implemented in its current format in 2003, ODOT’s EightYear Plan has focused on addressing the state’s greatest transportation needs in a transparent, accountable and businesslike manner without political influence. These infrastructure improvements have been linked directly to economic growth. The project selection process is very rigorous as transportation commissioners work with ODOT’s field division engineers and staff to identify the most critical highway and bridge projects and create a balanced statewide plan with anticipated federal and state funding. Each year, the plan is updated to reflect project completions, adjustments in projected revenue and changes in construction costs. As the previous fiscal year comes off the plan, another year is added based on forecasting of available funding. Funding comes from a state income tax allocation and state motor fuel tax allocation, as well as the federal Highway Trust Fund. For more information, visit odot.org.

FHWAAwards NDOT $32M in Additional Funds for Roads The Nevada Department of Transportation has announced that approximately $32 million in additional federal highway spending authority has been made available for Nevada road projects through redistribution of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) fiscal year-end funds. The additional federal spending authority will help preserve state transportation funds to make them available for other road projects throughout the state. Known as August Redistribution, the FHWA annually reassigns transportation funding authority from states unable to utilize the full amount of funding originally authorized to them, as well as from federal transportation grant and loan programs that were underutilized in the current fiscal year. The funds are then redistributed to states demonstrating projects which are ready-togo and meet all federal funding requirements. To qualify, NDOT demonstrated that it will fully utilize federal transportation funds

authorized to Nevada in fiscal year 2018, as well as demonstrated current projects which fit all requirements for receiving additional federal funding redistribution. In the last 15 years, NDOT has been able to secure more than $219 million in additional obligation authority and funds for use on vital Nevada transportation projects. “Our priority at NDOT is to provide a transportation system that keeps Nevada safe and connected, and provide it through the most efficient and responsible use of taxpayer funds,” said Rudy Malfabon, NDOT director. “This is a testament to the work of our NDOT financial management staff to make sure that the state continually utilizes all funding available for important transportation projects. We continue putting more federal dollars to work here in Nevada.” For more information, visit nevadadot.com.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Takes on $204M Dam Project By Jennifer Rupp CEG CORRESPONDENT

Steeped in an area rich in Western history lies the Isabella Dam on Isabella Lake. The dam is about 150 mi. north of Los Angeles, Calif., in a region that saw its share of gold mining in the mid-1800s and Hollywood Westerns starring John Wayne and Gene Autry in the 1930’s. One of the earliest films to be made in the nearby town of Kernville was titled “Back to God’s Country” — a fitting name for the Kern River Valley and Sequoia National Forest. The Isabella Dam and Reservoir is located 40 mi. northeast of Bakersfield, Kern County and consists of an earth-fill main dam and auxiliary dam across Kern River and Hot Springs Valley, respectively. The dam was authorized under the Flood Control Act of 1944 and construction was completed in 1953. The reservoir provides flood-risk management, irrigation and recreational benefits. With more than 300,000 people living and working below the dams, primarily in the town of Lake Isabella and the city of Bakersfield, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) began a dam safety modification study in 2006 to address seismic, hydrologic (potential over-topping during an extreme flood event) and seepage issues at the dams. USACE pointed out that given the multiple purposes of this dam facility and the long-term benefits it provides, they require thorough analysis of any changes to assure public safety and benefits are not compromised by modification to the dam. Dam analysis and designs are complex technical efforts. Risk assessments must be performed to understand the extent of a problem and to evaluate options to fix the dams. In this case, the dam had multiple deficiencies that require correction which increases the time required to understand and to start the fixes, explained USACE.

Construction of the new USFS fire station in Lake Isabella began in 2016 just left of the auxiliary dam.

An operating restriction was put in place, limiting the lake’s normal storage capacity and reducing the risk of the seepage and seismic concerns while a permanent solution could be investigated. USACE has implemented increased surveillance and monitoring, stockpiling of emergency materials and warning sirens in the town of Lake Isabella. Following the signing of the Record of Decision in December 2012, the Corps entered the Pre-Construction Engineering and Design phase of the project, and from 2013 to 2016, focused on design improvements to the existing dams and the relocation of U.S. Forest Service (USFS) buildings currently located in the excavation footprint. Construction on those buildings began in 2016. In September 2017, USACE Sacramento District awarded a $204 million contract for the Isabella Dam Safety Modification Project (DSMP) to Flatiron/Dragados/Sukut (FDS) Joint Venture of Benicia for renovation of the Isabella Lake Dam. see ARMY page 24

On Sept. 14, the Golden State Warriors, Chase Center and Mortensen/Clark Joint Venture held a topping out ceremony as the last piece of steel was lifted into place at the arena. The Chase Center is on track to open for the 2019-20 NBA season in San Francisco’s Mission Bay Neighborhood. Earlier this year, CEG spoke with Rick Welts, president and chief operating officer of the Warriors, who spent 17 years in New York as an executive in the NBA’s league offices. “The Warriors have been the Bay Area’s NBA team for more than half a century,” said Welts, who wanted arena partner JPMorgan Chase & Co. involved in the project. “With the construction of this new venue, we’re making sure the Warriors will be the Bay Area’s team for the next 50 years and beyond. From day one, we said we wanted to build the Madison Square Garden of the West.” The 18,064 seat Chase Center will consist of 580,000 sq. ft. of office space; 100,000 sq. ft. of retail space; a more than 24,000 sq.-ft, plaza; access to public transportation; more than 300 bike valet spaces; and 950 parking spaces. More than 9,000 tons of structural steel have been erected and more than 100,000 cu. yds of structural cast-in-place concrete will form the entire structure. No taxpayer dollars were used to build the Chase Center, as it is being privately financed due to a partnership with JPMorgan Chase. It is also the first arena ever build on private land.

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. (AP) California’s campaign watchdog said it is investigating whether a campaign to preserve the state’s recent gas tax hike violated finance rules. The Fair Political Practices Commission will look into a complaint filed by the opposing campaign that alleges state employees distributed flyers urging voters to keep the tax increase in place. The FPPC has not determined whether the allegations are valid but will investigate them, according to a letter it sent Carl DeMaio, an activist leading the charge to repeal the tax hike. Laurie Berman, the director of California’s transportation department, said the workers identified by the gas tax repeal campaign were private contractors employed by the department. “Caltrans is looking into the matter, but it is our understanding that these individuals were private contractors not Caltrans employees,” Berman said in a statement. “Regardless, the department does not condone political advocacy or the distribution of campaign information on work project sites and is contacting its contractors to remind them of this.” DeMaio and other opponents of the gas tax hike put a measure on the November ballot — Proposition 6 — that would repeal the tax increase. They allege it was a violation of campaign rules for people employed by the state to hand flyers to passing drivers telling them to oppose Proposition 6. Republican lawmakers and groups are the biggest funders of the Proposition 6 campaign, which has raised more than $4 million. They say the state Legislature shouldn’t have approved the gas tax hike last year. Some Republicans see the issue as one that will boost turnout among voters who care about pocketbook issues and could help the GOP hold onto U.S. House seats in the heavily Democratic state. Construction companies and unions representing construction workers, who stand to benefit from more road work, are among the biggest funders of the campaign to defeat Proposition 6. They argue the tax increase provides revenue needed to repair the state’s crumbling roads. Proposition 6 opponents have reported raising $27 million. FPPC spokesman Jay Wierenga declined to comment on the investigation. The FPPC prioritizes “campaign-seasonrelated complaints” but can’t guarantee they will be completed before Election Day, he said.
