As design-build continues to gain ground in Florida, Ranger Construction has secured more than $220 million in D-B road work as either the prime contractor or a major sub, underscoring the company’s prominent role in the streamlined delivery method.

Unlike bidding and building to a finished set of plans, design-build calls for teams to propose the most cost-effective way to best achieve a particular result, guided by a budget estimate.

Projects are awarded based on a point system weighted for technical factors, not strictly by lowest bid, and the selected team produces the finished plans as part of the work process.

Having a well-qualified construction partner makes a big difference in the success of both the proposal and the project itself.

“We understand what’s necessary to put together an effective team of constructors and designers,” said Ranger Executive V.P. Bob Schafer.

“We actively participate in the design-build process with our Engineer/ Designers and know how to get the

VanGuard • Newsmagazine of the Vecellio Group • 1st/2nd Quarter 2012

most cost-effective design that is buildable in the least amount of time.”

Ranger’s extensive insight benefits the traveling public, as well.

“As a roadway contractor we are able to lend technical expertise to the most pressing issues, such as the safe maintenance of traffic for the duration of the project,” said Ranger V.P. Ponch Frank.

“This is one of the most important concerns on any project.”

miles of I-95 in St. Lucie County.

As a subcontractor to Dragados USA, Ranger is building and paving a new section of I-595 and reconfiguring nearby Turnpike lanes as part of a major expansion of I-595 in Broward County.

Ranger is also paving I-95 Express lanes in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, among several other large D-B jobs.

Ranger has partnered or worked closely on projects with designers Wantman Group, Atkins, BCC, C3TS, Inwood, Boyer-Single-

ton, AECOM, DRMP, and RS&H; as well as with contractors Leware Construction Company, Cone & Graham, and GLF.

V&G and Sharpe Also Provide Expertise Adding value to complex work such as design-build is not the exclusive realm of Ranger Construction, of course. Vecellio & Grogan and Sharpe Bros. also have decades of experience as proven and trusted construction partners. In fact, several of V&G’s current site development jobs are design-build. (See page 5.)

Energy Companies Generating Site Work For V&G Road construction in the midAtlantic states is more valley than peak these days due to funding limitations, but energy-related site work has continued heading upward for Vecellio & Grogan, with several recent projects involving design-build work.

Coal mining and natural gas operations have hired V&G to prepare new sites, improve existing sites, and reclaim old ones.

One design-build contract calls on V&G to build a retaining wall and concrete pad for Central Appalachian Mine, a coal mining operation in Matewan, WV. Two other D-B jobs involve stabilizing natural gas drilling sites, originally developed by other contractors, that had begun to fail or slide. The work is for

Chesapeake Energy, a substantial leaseholder in the Marcellus Shale region. The sites are located in the ridgelines of northern WV and require the type of specialized attention V&G can provide with its many years of experience working in mountainous terrain.

V&G is also developing new drilling pads, ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 sq. ft. in area, and water impoundment ponds up to five million gallons in capacity, for Chesapeake sites in Greene County, PA, and Ohio County, WV. Other V&G site work includes reclaiming a surface mine in Rupert, WV, for Greenbrier Smokeless Coal Mining, and removing 500,000 cu. yds. of overburden for Boxley Aggregates at a quarry in Beckley, WV.

Several Projects Are Design-Build

Vecellio & Grogan is building a retaining wall for Central Appalachian Mine under a design-build contract.

Sharpe Takes Lead On Joint Project With Vecellio & Grogan Construction started earlier this year and is expected to take 18 months.

In other work, Sharpe is finishing improvements on a section of US-220 in Randoph County to bring the roadway up to Interstate standards for future designation as part of I-73/I-74.

Although Sharpe Bros. is actually a division of Vecellio & Grogan, the tables are turned on a new road construction project in High Point, NC, with V&G working for Sharpe.

Sharpe bid as the prime contractor to widen and extend Hartley Drive in northeast Davidson County.

The $9.1 million contract covers the new construction of about a mile of four-lane divided highway. It also includes a bridge, and Sharpe didn’t have to look far for the ideal heavy/highway and bridge building partner.

V&G will construct a three-span, 254-ft.-long bridge crossing a stream and low-lying wooded area near the Hartley Drive YMCA. Other structure work includes building a 300-ft.-long sound barrier wall and a 275-ft.-long soldier pile retaining wall.

In addition to the new roadway, the contract calls for intersection and turning lane improvements where it ties in, installation of a new water line, and relocation of existing sewer lines.

The Hartley Drive extension is a key addition to High Point’s transportation network, providing an alternative to Westover Drive and improving traffic flow between the city’s northern and southern sections. The improvements have been anticipated for years. A bond referendum was approved by voters in 2004, followed by engineering work, land acquisitions, and a stringent regulatory approval and permitting process.

Erosion control measures and traffic barricades are in place in the early stages of Sharpe Bros. and V&G’s Hartley Drive Extension project.

Vecenergy Adds Asphalt Railcar Unloading At Port of Palm Beach

Eight if by land, one if by sea.

Eight railcars at a time, that is, able to supply liquid asphalt to South Florida Materials Corp. through newly installed infrastructure at its Port of Palm Beach location. The facility can also pipe in asphalt from a docked tanker ship.

South Florida Materials is a unit of Vecenergy, the Group’s energy division. To expand its supply options, Vecenergy made use of an adjacent rail spur, setting up a boiler, pumps, pipelines and hoses to direct steam through coils in the railcars. After a day of heating, the re-liquified product is piped into one of South Florida Materials’ six heated tanks (total capacity 200,000 barrels) for distribution via tanker trucks to the area’s asphalt contractors, where it is used as a binder in pavement mixes.

The facility also produces Polymer Modified Asphalt and Asphalt Rubber Binder for specialized mixes, and has a 150,000-barrel diesel terminal.

White Rock Ramps Up To Supply Massive Runway Project For a supply agreement this huge — 7,000,000 tons of limestone aggregates delivered in just 14 months — a little creative thinking went a long way.

White Rock Quarries and CEMEX USA are two of the country’s largest limestone quarries. However, Ft. LauderdaleHollywood International Airport’s plan to extend Runway 9R-27L almost 3,000 feet as it rises six stories tall required aggregate production levels not seen since the bustling years of last decade, instituted almost immediately.

So the companies teamed up and jointly bid the supply of “the largest embankment fill project I’ve seen in my 30 years in the industry,” said WRQ Executive V.P. Eddie Allsopp.

A mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall will support the sides of the elevated runway, which on its eastern end will span multiple tunnels accommodating lanes of US-1 traffic and FEC railroad tracks.

White Rock Quarries and CEMEX USA each committed to supply extraor-

dinary quantities within an extremely tight time frame. The joint bid also offered production assurance with a ready back-up by the other quarry, comparable product quality, and delivery by both truck and rail to the job site. Daily shipments are expected to average 30,000 to 35,000 tons.

To fulfill the massive limestone order, WRQ Operations Manager Ronnie VanLandingham, Mine Engineer Attila Szucs, Equipment Manager JR Payne and Sales Manager Rex Nealis helped create the sales and production plan, which includes night shift operations.
