MGM Steps Up Opposition to Proposed Tribal Casino Project By Susan Haigh ASSOCIATED PRESS

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A border war between titans in the casino world has escalated, with MGM Resorts International stepping up its opposition to a proposed tribal casino project in Connecticut that’s supposed to help the tribes fend off competition from MGM’s planned $950 million project in neighboring Massachusetts. Besides challenging the law, which laid the groundwork for the possible satellite casino, MGM was credited lin June with proposing the surprise amendment to a federal defense bill. It would have prevented tribes with casinos on tribal land, like Connecticut’s Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribal nations, from opening a venture off-reservation in the same state. “It’s pretty exceptional to try to solve a local issue in the defense authorization bill. So, we weren’t going to let that amendment go anywhere,” said Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, who worked with fellow Democratic Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal to scuttle the provision. “But it’s clear that MGM is using every angle they can find to try to stop this project from going forward.” Clyde Barrow, an economist and general manager of Pyramid Associates, a Massachusetts consulting firm that conducted a market analysis for the two Connecticut tribes, said “the magnitude of what MGM is engaged in is probably above and beyond anything I’ve seen elsewhere in the country at this point.” Alan Silver, a casino industry expert at Ohio University, contends MGM’s tactics are not surprising, given what’s at stake.

“I think any business person would be doing the same thing,” said Silver, who agrees MGM should question the fairness of Connecticut’s law. Proponents maintain the jointly run satellite casino could protect thousands of jobs at the tribes’ two existing casinos in southeastern Connecticut — Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Resort Casino. The state legislature still needs to approve any new casino. The tribes have yet to pick a potential site. Alan Feldman, executive vice president of MGM Resorts International, said MGM isn’t fighting the proposed satellite casino per se, but rather the process created by Connecticut to possibly allow a casino on non-tribal land. While MGM has not said it was responsible for the amendment to the defense bill offered by the two senators from Nevada, MGM’s home state, Feldman said other developers besides the tribes should be allowed to compete. MGM has limits on how close to Springfield, Mass., it can build another facility, but Feldman said it might make financial sense for the state and MGM to open a casino in populous southwestern Connecticut. But Feldman said there’s no opportunity for MGM to prove it can offer a better option that could lead to more revenue and jobs. “We’d like the ability to show that we think there is a better alternative,” he said. Besides filing the federal lawsuit — and now appealing a judge’s recent dismissal — MGM has teamed up with a state-recognized tribe that filed a similar suit. MGM also is challenging the closed-door meetings by the state’s airport authority about possibly hosting the casino at Bradley International Airport, about a dozen miles from MGM’s Massachusetts project. MGM has enlisted former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and a contingent of state lob-

byists and public relations experts as well. “MGM’s shameless tactics are well-documented,” said Andrew Doba, a spokesman of the two tribes. “They will say anything, do anything, spend anything to protect their bottom line. And if they’re successful in Connecticut, more residents will find themselves in the unemployment line.” In 2012, MGM and competitor Penn National Gaming Inc. each spent tens of millions of dollars in an advertising battle over a gambling expansion ballot question in Maryland. MGM ultimately won and construction of the $1.3 billion MGM National Harbor casino is under way. Two years later, MGM teamed up with a California antigambling expansion group to oppose the federal recognition of the Pamunkey Indian Tribe in nearby Virginia. The tiny tribe, which ultimately won recognition, had considered gambling. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Volvo Excavator ‘One-Armed Money-Maker’ for Baltazar If Paulo Baltazar was a betting man, you might say he went “all-in” when his construction company, Baltazar Contractors, wagered its ability to turn a profit on a $22 million, 6 mi. (9.6 km) water transmission pipeline replacement job with just one excavator — a 77-ton (70 t) Volvo EC700C crawler excavator that could do the work of

two machines. The South transmission main serves more than 28,000 people in the leafy suburb of Springfield, Mass. The 48 and 54 in. (121.9 and 137.2 cm) diameter steel pipe was originally installed in 1928 to funnel water from the 16 million gal. (60 million L) underground Provin Mountain Reservoir.

However, due to corrosion and poor weld quality, two major ruptures occurred in recent years, prompting the Springfield Water and Sewer Commission to initiate the planning process for a full replacement of the entire 6 mi. (9.7 km) stretch of pipe. The project was issued for bids in early 2014 and ultimately awarded to Baltazar Contractors

With more than 30 lbf (356 kN) of breakout force and up to 55,980 lbf (249 kN) of tear out force, the Volvo EC700C offers a combination of power and stability to lower the 12 ton (11 t) pipe segment into the trench, according to the manufacturer.

Suited for mass-construction applications, the EC700C offers the flexibility to handle a wide range of materials, making it the ideal money-making partner for Baltazar Contractors, according to the manufacturer.

Inc., of nearby Ludlow, Mass. The family-owned company specializes in the installation of sanitary sewer, storm and water mains, site development, roadway construction and streetscapes throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts. Francisco Baltazar, the family patriarch, and his son, Paulo, founded the business in 1992. More than two decades later, Baltazar continues to thrive under Francisco, Paulo and his brother, Dinis. The Agawam project, completed in the spring of 2016, calls for the replacement of the entire pipeline, including the installation of 11 valves, 13 air valve chambers, 12 drainage blow-offs, six box culvert crossings, 13 wetland crossings and 13 road crossings. Added to this, neighborhood sprawl has encroached on the pipeline’s path in many areas, leaving a slim 80 ft. (24.4 m) right-of-way to position equipment. Because the South transmission line is the region’s primary water source, Baltazar Contractors is performing construction in three phases to limit service disruptions. Each phase involves the installation of a section of 48 to 66 in. diameter pipe, and related valves and infrastructure. Once delivered on-site, the replacement pipes are individually numbered and thermal-welded together like pieces of a snaking jigsaw puzzle. The Right Machine for the Job The sheer scale of the project, plus unforeseen hurdles, prompted Baltazar to rethink how they would complete the job. “The original plan was to cut the existing pipeline into segments, grab hold of the old steel pipe, and pull it out by wedging it in the see VOLVO page 8

Even on the 25 degree slant of the Provin Mountain, the Volvo EC700C yields superior digging performance, optimizing productivity and profitability, according to the manufacturer.

Maine Water Details Plans to Build New Volvo’s EC700C Water Treatment Plant in Biddeford Designed for Fuel Efficiency, Power VOLVO from page 6

Concept of the new treatment plant.

Maine Water will build a new water treatment plant in Biddeford on the Saco River, replacing the existing plant that was first constructed over 130 years ago. The existing water treatment plant was built in 1884, with the last major upgrade done in 1936. The plant has served the four communities of Saco, Biddeford, Old Orchard Beach and Scarborough for over a century. The current plant continues to produce water that meets all water quality standards, but a significant upgrade is long overdue. Of particular concern is that the plant is in the flood plain of the Saco River, and has been out of service due to sig- Current treatment plant. nificant flooding at least three times in its history. These facts, along with an engineering assessment of the served. “All of us in the state of Maine cherish the Saco River for plant commissioned by Maine Water in 2014, are driving the its beauty, recreational opportunities, and as a clean source of decision that it is time to build a new plant. “The engineering assessment concluded that it is expect- drinking water,” Wallingford said. “We applaud the work of ed to be about the same cost to build a new plant versus ren- the Saco River Corridor Commission in its effort to maintain ovating the existing plant,” stated Judy Wallingford, Maine the high water quality.

This is yet another example of the continuous Maine wish to partner with Maine Water. Wallingford said that a regional approach could alleviate environmental presneed to assess and replace our aging infrastructure.” The new plant is expected to be on line in 2020 with a sure on other sources of water in Southern Maine and procapacity of 20 million gallons a day (MGD), versus the cur- vide redundancy to existing supplies to enhance reliability rent plant with a 12 MGD capacity.

bucket and place it to the side. Then we’d attach the new concrete pipe to the bucket via a chain sling and swing it back into the trench. However, the previous excavator could not lift the pipe with the bucket attached. We were losing three and a half minutes per pipe by taking off the bucket and reattaching,” said Luis Santos of Baltazar Contractors, project manager for the Agawam project. Paulo Baltazar consulted with his dealer, Peter Gaj of Tyler Equipment in East Longmeadow, who recommended using a larger excavator capable of delivering greater power while using less fuel. In terms of performance, Gaj weighed the options. “The competitor machine was constantly maxed out, revving and burning more fuel. When we went for the Volvo EC700C, with the way Volvo designs its excavators, you do not need to run them at max horsepower.” That’s because the crawler excavator is powered by a 451 hp (336 kW) Volvo D16E engine, which works in harmony with the electro-hydraulic system to deliver increased horsepower and fuel efficiency, according to the company. “For this application, the excavator can run at about threequarters throttle, around 1,400 rpm, and that is where you also start to see the fuel savings,” he added. “It’s not taxed at all and that also makes it more stable on the uneven terrain. Even though it is a next step larger in size than what they were using, because of the lower working engine speed Baltazar is actually saving fuel, which we know because we are tracking consumption through the Volvo CareTrack telematics system.” The partnership was a success. “We have been very impressed with the excavator’s picking power at maximum reach as well as the smoothness and response time,” said Paulo Baltazar. Productive From the Inside Out Once on-site, the Volvo EC700C placed the pipes faster than pipe manufacturer, Vianini Pipe could produce and ship it from Somerville, N.J. Dana Kroll is the main operator of the Volvo machine. With 27 years of running equipment, he knows what sets a machine apart from the competition. In terms of the operator environment provided by the class-leading Volvo Care Cab, Kroll is satisfied. “The comfort factors — are you kidding me? I’m seeing the chiropractor a lot less. I also find the controls to be very smooth, especially when you are lifting a 9.97-ton [11 t] pipe and placing into a hole. It’s been a tremendous machine for us,” said Kroll. With Volvo machinery, Santos’ initial estimation that Baltazar would complete the entire project three months ahead of schedule proved accurate.

Hills Station. On a typical weekday in 2010, the overpass carried approximately 24,000 cars and trucks while the new Washington Street surface road carried approximately 12,000 vehicles per day. These roadway volumes are projected to grow by 5 to 12 percent over the next 25 years and the new roadways are designed with sufficient capacity to accommodate these future volumes. “The area around the overpass serves many neighborhoods and traveling consistencies including pedestrians, cyclists,

MBTA riders and motorists,” stated the web page for the project. “[It] also acts as an important gateway to such Boston institutions as Franklin Park, Forest Hills Cemetery, Shattuck Hospital and the Arnold Arboretum. In 2010, the overpass was determined to be structurally deficient, suffering from numerous superstructure and substructure problems due to a combination of deterioration and original design flaws and beyond the point of effective repair.” This project, being constructed as an accelerated bridge program, has already

involved the removal of the structurally deficient 1,650 ft. (503 m) Casey overpass, replacing it with a simplified, at-grade roadway network that will be fully opened to traffic in 2018. Construction also includes a new headhouse, which will be ADA compliant for the MBTA Orange Line and will replace the existing substandard exit-only headhouse. Bicycle and pedestrian accommodations will be enhanced throughout the project limits. The Route 39 bus will be relocated to the reconstructed upper busway at Forest Hills Station. The project will result in the recon-

nection of the Arborway and Emerald Necklace Park from the Arnold Arboretum to Franklin Park. “We are pleased with how the project is progressing,” said MassDOT spokeswoman Jacquelyn Goddard. “After a public process regarding the design of the streetscape and the configuration of the new roads and intersections which are impacted, a traffic management plan was developed. The plan is a mix of permanent and temporary routes that are safe for people in vehicles, on bikes and see OVERPASS page 14

Maine Port Project Receives $7.7M USDOT Grant The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) was notified that the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) will award $7,719,173 in grant funding to the Maine Intermodal Port Productivity Project (MIPPP) for infrastructure improvements at the International Marine Terminal (IMT) in Portland. The Fostering Advancement in Shipping and Transportation for the Long-term Achievement of National Efficiencies (FASTLANE) grant is a new USDOT program created by the FAST Act. The program is focused on investments in regional and nationally significant transportation assets. “The IMT is undoubtedly one of Maine’s greatest transportation success stories of this century,” said Gov. Paul R. LePage. “The award of this FASTLANE grant will allow the MaineDOT and Maine Port Authority to continue our mission of advancing marine and rail facilities in support of economic development and enhance the global competiveness of Maine businesses in New England and across the world.” The total cost of the MIPPP is $15,438,347. Federal grant funds will be matched equally by funds from state and private sources. The project will include acquisition of a new crane, moving the current

maintenance facility from the pier and development of additional pier area, improvements to gate operations, and the creation of additional rail capacity. “We are very excited to learn that we secured Fast Act funding for the Maine Intermodal Port Productivity Project,” said David Bernhardt, MaineDOT commissioner. “These funds will allow us to make strategic investments to build capacity, realize efficiencies and increase productivity at the IMT in Portland and enable the terminal to fully realize its potential through the improved utilization of all of its transportation assets.” The growth of container traffic at the IMT terminal has exceeded 20 percent year over year. Further growth will be driven by increased rail and vessel activity, which will minimize the use of the U.S. Highway System and other roadways in Maine, as well as key border crossings.

Rail Infrastructure Part of MassDOT’s $67M Project OVERPASS from page 10

on foot and which allow construction crews to do necessary work as part of the project.” Kevin Huie, BHD’s project manager, noted that extensive planning is keeping the project on schedule. BHD has completed the following elements: demolition of the bridge; temporary roadway construction; temporary traffic signal work; and deep foundations for the busway extension. BHD crews have been busy. February saw them and subcontractors continue the drainage installation work throughout the area formerly occupied by the overpass and at Shea Circle and utility work is taking place on the Verizon cables adjacent to Orchard Hill Road, as well as relocation of natural gas lines in the vicinity of the South Street/Arborway Road intersection and relocation of MWRA water lines west of South Street in the area formerly occupied by the Casey overpass. Feeney Brothers performed gas line relocation and tie-in at the intersection of Washington Street/South Street and work in the eastern portion of the Arborway focused on installing traffic signal conduits, as well as installing lighting conduits and bases. The center portion of the Arborway had work on the MWRA water lines undertaken. “As in any large city,” said Huie, “there are multiple underground utility lines of various ages running through the work area. Barletta has worked closely with utility companies to coordinate the scope of work, and the relocation of utilities is ongoing.” Along the future alignment of the Arborway between Shea Circle and Washington Street, the project will install drainage structures, traffic signal conduit, and conduit and bases for street lighting. Drainage structures are being installed in the area formerly occupied by the overpass in the area west of South Street. “The overpass was removed utilizing three Cat 345’s and a Komatsu 1250,” said Huie. “The machines were equipped with hammers, grapples and shears to dismantle and remove the individual bridge segments. There were 20 spans in the overpass, and each span took an average of three days to dismantle and remove. The entire demolition procedure took just under three months. Because the overpass crossed extremely active roadways, busways, railroad tracks and bicycle and pedestrian corridors, work in those sections were completed at night when traffic was minimal. “A major necessary project element was the design and implementation of a comprehensive traffic management plan,” he added. “Traffic controls and detours were designed so that the flow of traffic was not unnecessarily impeded during this operation.”

The work began in December 2014 and is being funded by ABP NFA.

Ben Niles, BHD’s corporate safety director, said that planning and training are always the keys. “Especially on a project where there are multiple large pieces of equipment working in close proximity to crews on the ground,” he said, “everyone must be fully aware of the schedules, objectives and procedures of the other. This is why the development of our job and task hazard analyses and shift briefings are so vital. There are many ways to measure the success of a project’s progress; on any given day how many yards of concrete were poured, how many feet of trench were dug, how much steel or precast was erected, but the primary measurement that

we use is, ‘did everyone go home to their families tonight?’” The overpass demolition and other prep work for the project will see BHD remove a fair amount of concrete, steel and rebar, asphalt and earth — the numbers are still being tabulated, as are amounts of construction materials to be brought in as the amount of materials to be recycled is still being determined. Equipment-wise, BHD is using Komatsu and Volvo excavators; Cat dozers; Volvo and Komatsu loaders; Tadano cranes; and Ingersoll Rand rollers. The closest BHD yard/shop is one mile away and for this project, there is one onsite

mechanic. “This winter has been a lot easier on us, so productivity has been better,” said Dallas Babineau, BHD’s equipment superintendent. “The equipment has continued to work on a daily basis and that’s been a key in making sure performance stays where it should be. It’s when the equipment tends to sit for stretches of time that we see problems arise. We also have our own fuel truck and selfperform all onsite fueling of equipment to ensure we maintain an efficient, clean, and reliable refueling operation. ”By doing a lot of routine maintenance before the start of the day, equipment problems can be avoided,” he said “Our mechanics start very early in the day to do oil changes, cutting edge flips/replacements, small repairs before the operator starts his day,” said Babineau. “That way we ensure that there is no interruption for productivity with any of the machines. We also sometimes work on Saturdays to do more time consuming jobs if the job site is not working. “The mechanics and myself work together in communicating on all schedules, parts to be ordered, length in time of repairs, and other areas of maintenance to ensure a smooth flow of keeping up with maintaining the equipment while not interrupting the flow of work at each job,” he adds. “To do this as a group we are in constant communication to keep up. This includes constant phone calls and email chains that include mechanics, superintendents, equipment vendors, and anyone related to repair/maintenance of equipment.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

The Casey overpass was built in the 1950s — the elevated section of Route 203 carried the Arborway over Washington and South street in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston.
