By Jay AdamsCEG CORRESPONDENT

The Block Island Ferry operators hadn’t seen anythinglike it since they began ferrying passengers over from themainland to the vacation island by boat through NarragansettBay, not even for the famous Hurricane of 1938.Transporting cars and motorcycles for island visitors to

drive? Sure, they do that every day. Carrying bikes andscooters to maneuver the winding roads? Of course, that’sthe business. But a working fleet of several large excavators, a bulldoz-

er, a roller, front-end loaders and trucks, heavy iron drivendown from Palmer, Mass. to the creaking piers of Newport,then 12 mi. to sea? No, sir; not ever.Northern Construction Service LLC drove the equipment

from its yard to the Newport docks to board the ship after thecompany won a bidding process. Northern was hired by theRhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) torestore about $3.1 million of assessed damage to roads and

beaches ripped up by Hurricane Sandy as it cut a path ofdestruction through southern New England.It was a unique start to a job that began in October, a few

days after the storm caused billions of dollars of damage inseveral oceanfront states along the Atlantic Seaboard, andended on time and on budget in late December.“The equipment did come over on the ferry,” said Eric

Rahkonen, who managed the project for NorthernConstruction. “That process was difficult, as we wererequired to work around the regular passenger ferry trips.This led to us operating in early morning trips or late-in-the-day trips.”

Damage to the IslandManhattan Island and Long Island were greatly damaged

by Sandy and Staten Island virtually destroyed; theBoardwalk in Atlantic City, N.J., was turned into kindlingand 500,000 people lost power in New Jersey alone, and thislittle comma of land 12 mi. off the coast of the Rhode Island

mainland suffered a smaller, but relatively devastating fate.It is tiny by island standards (the smallest town in the

smallest state), but large in its draw of tourists to and fromRhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York andbeyond. New Shoreham is the town that is coextensive withBlock Island, with a population of slightly more than 1,050residents, and an estimated 65,000 annual visitors who seekits almost 11 sq. mi. of beauty.The Narragansett tribe called it “Little God’s Island.” A

recent travel magazine lauded it as “One of the Twelve GreatPlaces in the Western Hemisphere.” There are 17 mi. ofcoastal beaches, 30 mi. of walking trails and an amazing 365fresh water ponds, virtually all churned up by the high tidesand storm surges of Sandy.Daylong winds at a steady 70 mph hit the island, bringing

gusts that reached 117 mph downed trees and threw debrisacross the entire span.One restaurant, the popular Ballard’s Inn — a hub for

yearly tourists — was washed out by waves and sand afterjust finishing some $200,000 of improvements. Beaches andthe meandering roads that wind around the resort spot wereripped up or flattened completely. Two major roads — CornNeck Road and Spring Street — were chunked to bits.“Corn Neck Road amazes me,” New Shoreham Town

Manager Nancy Dodge told the Block Island Times news-paper. “It’s flat to the beach.”A dock in Old Harbor, recently built by the U.S. Army

Corps of engineers was found warped like a bow.

Northern Ferries ImmediatelyRIDOT bid the repair project a few days after the Oct. 28

and 29 storm.“RIDOT accepted the bid after verifying all the proper

information was included. RIDOT’s response was quick,”

said Project Manager Rahkonen. “A pre-bid meeting washeld to discuss the damaged areas and repair expectationsprior to the bid. An on-site visit was held after we were noti-fied of being the low bidder.” Rahkonen was chosen by his company to head this proj-

ect because of his previous experience in marine construc-tion and with emergency repair situations. Rahkonen headeda similar operation in Massachusetts in 2011. HurricaneIrene had devastated Route 2 and MassDOT also choseNorthern Construction Services to work on emergencyrepairs and reconstruction.Rahkonen led a crew of between 10 and 30 individuals

operating several large excavators, bulldozers, rollers, front-end loaders and trucks to repair multiple roadways afterSandy caused severe flooding and immediate erosion.The sight of flattened beaches and crushed roads were

nothing new to his crew.“Many of the men working on site have extensive experi-

ence dealing with difficult situations. The majority of themwere a part of the extensive rebuilding of Route 2 emergencyrepairs after Hurricane Irene,” said Rahkonen.The New Shoreham project consisted of dune restoration,

slope repairs on failed roadways, full depth roadway recon-struction (warm mix asphalt paving), removing damagedguardrails and replacing them with new guardrails, seedingand plantings,” said Rahkonen. “The roadways were shoredup by establishing a proper rip rap toe for the rest of the slopeto build from.” The Block Island work was a parallel project for Northern.

At the very same time, emergency repairs were being doneby the company in Falmouth, Mass., on Cape Cod, for sim-ilar storm damages.“The Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts, lost portions of

seawall as well as roadway slope failures. The previous year,Northern repaired a six-mile stretch of Route 2 in Florida,Massachusetts, in the Berkshires. Portions of the highwayslid more than 70 feet into a river below, and then we did atwo-mile stretch of Route 2 located in North Adams,Massachusetts, so tackling Block Island was familiar territo-ry,” said Rahkonen.

Locals Grateful for NorthernServices Lead in Cleanup

Around the Clock ShiftsHis crews were given the assignment by

the state to repair approximately 1,800 ft.(549 m) of highway along Corn Neck Roadand damaged Spring Street in the OldHarbor section of the town. They workedseven days a week, 12 to 14 hour-days,through difficult marine, salt water condi-tions in order to completethe work on time and onbudget in December.“The people that lived

on the Island were veryhelpful and grateful,”added Rahkonen. “Manyof the crew have been outto the island during thesummer for vacations andwere familiar with the areawe had to work in. Theyhad traveled those sameroads.” Rahkonen’s brother

Alex Rahkonen was thesuperintendent with himon New Shoreham. Heplayed a vital role in over-seeing the onsite day-to-day operations. Alex alsohad been responsible forthe nighttime Route 2emergency repairs (theones caused by Hurricane Irene in 2011).The brothers are sons of one of the owners,John Rahkonen, a co-founder of the compa-ny. Northern had been the recipient of the

American Public Works Association’s annu-al award for disaster construction in the past,a clear indicator of why RIDOT, MassDOTand other municipal authorities have hiredthem so often to fix disasters.Northern Construction Service LLC has

specialized in bridge construction, marineconstruction and reconstruction, concreteand utility work and site work since 1996.With current projects throughout NewEngland and in New York founders John L.DiVito and John Rahkonen have grown thecompany steadily with an excellent reputa-tion for quality work and responsible owner-ship.Like RIDOT, their clients often include

federal, state and municipal agencies, alongwith private industrial and utility companies.The company employs 80 people and main-tains two offices, in Weymouth and Palmer,Mass.A portion of the project’s costs on Block

Island were funded by the United States

Department of Transportation, which includ-ed $3 million in quickly-released funds byOct. 30 in disaster relief. This grant coincid-ed with millions of dollars released to helpRIDOT and private vendors shore up sub-stantial damage caused by Sandy along thesouthwestern coast of Rhode Island, particu-larly in the towns of Westerly and a badlydamaged seawall and sidewalk on Ocean

Road in Narragansett, where more than 100homes were split apart along the beaches,which were seriously eroded.“The restoration of our roads and other

infrastructure following Hurricane Sandyremains a high priority,” said Rhode IslandGov. Lincoln Chafee, work that continuesthrough the winter. “Northern did a great jobof doing the work on time and on budget,just as we asked. We are pleased to remainon the fast-track in getting these repairs start-ed and completed in as short a time frame aspossible.”Three other ongoing state repair projects

include Ocean Drive in Newport,Poppasquash Road in Bristol and ConanicusRoad in Jamestown.“We are pleased by the dedication and

cooperation shown by our contractors onthese projects to get repairs started and com-pleted quickly,” said RIDOT’s MichaelLewis.For more information, call 413-636-8411

Vt. Lawmakers Call New Office SpaceProject’s $9M Estimate Eye-PoppingBy Dave GramASSOCIATED PRESS

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) New office space for someVermont state agencies is being described as gorgeous but itscost as eye-popping. Vermont lawmakers use those terms for the new space at

the National Life building in Montpelier that has been reno-vated to house the Vermont Agency of Natural Resourcesand other state agencies. Members of the House Corrections and Institutions

Committee, which oversees state building projects, said theywere given a rough estimate last year of about $2 million tomove the Natural Resources Agency into the building thatalready housed the transportation and commerce agencies. The most recent figure is now $8.65 million — and that’s

not a final number. Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding, whose agency

includes the Department of Buildings and General Services,which managed the project, said March 18 that he and hisaides never told the committee the National Life projectwould cost $2 million. Last year, the Legislature included $1 million for the proj-

ect and separate allocations for replacing other office spacein Waterbury lost by Tropical Storm Irene and for replacingthe Vermont State Hospital. The allocation was included inthe state’s capital construction budget, which uses moneyraised through bonding to pay for building projects. Spaulding called the early amounts “placeholders.’’ But

some committee members still find the latest price tag trou-bling. Rep. Cynthia Browning, D-Arlington, said she saw a pat-

tern in which BGS officials “get us to commit to a projectand then come back later and say we need more ... We endup being kind of played, kind of manipulated, kind oftrapped,’’ she said.

Getting off the elevator, a visitor steps into a reception areafeaturing a curved wall with paneling made of horizontal rec-tangles of locally sourced hardwood. Sunlight flows throughthe space. New office cubicles have low walls for better visibility

and collaboration among workers. Smaller, glass-walledconference rooms are scattered throughout the space toafford workers more privacy. “White noise’’ is used to muteany distracting noises. National Life chipped in $3.5 million for the project, but

will charge the state an average $3.7 million a year in leasecosts over the next 10 years. A list of costs from the Department of Buildings and

General Services shows the state spending nearly twice lastyear’s early estimate just on modular furniture: $3.675 mil-lion. And that didn’t include $1.4 million on new walls,$600,000 on carpeting, or $100,000 for a “transition manag-er,’’ whose job was to help state employees get familiar withtheir new surroundings. “Once you start getting into the renovations, it’s like ‘Oh,

my God, this is much more involved than anyone had antic-ipated,’’’ said Rep. Alice Emmons, D-Springfield and chair-woman of the House committee. The storm in August 2011 triggered the project. The

Agency of Natural Resources, known as ANR, was one ofseveral state agencies that lost its offices when the WinooskiRiver inundated the state office in Waterbury. During storm recovery, Gov. Peter Shumlin touted the col-

laboration between ANR and the Agency of Transportationas they worked on permitting and rebuilding roads andrestoring gouged river beds. Shumlin said he wanted that collaboration to be the new

norm. ANR would move into the National Life building,which already housed the Agency of Transportation and theAgency of Commerce and Community Development.


Maine’s Lawmakers’ Plans to Toll State’s Interstates Need Federal ApprovalBy Glenn AdamsASSOCIATED PRESS

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Drivers on Maine’s interstatescould be charged tolls under a pair of proposals that law-makers are considering, but transportation officials counterthat federal law prohibits such a move. It would take an act of Congress to impose fares on high-

ways that have been built or repaired with federal money, theTransportation Committee was told at a hearing on the billsMarch 22. “Federal law is quite clear on the issue,’’ said Dan Morin

of the Maine Turnpike Authority, which took no formal posi-tion on the bills sponsored by Rep. Michel Lajoie, D-Lewiston, and Rep. Brian Bolduc, D-Auburn. When any section of I-295 is expanded to three lanes, the

entire road would be tolled at a rate commensurate with I-95,the Maine Turnpike that runs through Lewiston and Auburn,Lajoie proposed in an amendment to an earlier bill. “I-295 is paid for with gas taxes by Mainers all over the

state. Interstate 95 is solely supported by its users, my con-

stituents,’’ leaving them with an unfair burden, Lajoie said.“This bill would create equality between the two highwaysso drivers taking both will pay their fair share.’’ Bolduc’s bill calls for a task force composed of legislators,

highway users and other interested parties to study optionsfor imposing tolls on portions of Maine’s interstates to payfor highway improvements. The study would analyze finan-cial and administrative requirements and the revenue poten-tial from tolls. In opposition to both bills, the state Transportation

Department cited the federal law prohibiting tolls on high-ways built or repaired with federal money. “The federal Highway Administration has informed

MaineDOT that they do not have the authority to waive thetolling prohibition,’’ said Nina Fisher of the stateTransportation Department. “Thus, under current law, authority to impose tolls on I-95

would require a specific act of Congress,’’ Fisher told thecommittee.

Groups Join Seeking Maine’sEast-West Highway Records By Glenn AdamsASSOCIATED PRESS

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP)Environmentalists joined with civil libertari-ans and residents of northern Maine onMarch 22 in support of a bill that wouldmake memos and other planning documentsfor projects like the proposed 220-mi. (354km) east-west highway project subject topublic disclosure. The Legislature’s Transportation

Committee held a hearing on a bill spon-sored by Rep. Jeff McCabe, D-Skowhegan,which would make records, notes, sum-maries, memoranda and other informationon transportation projects that are a public-private partnership open to public review. “The controversy around the east-west

highway demonstrates the problem with ourcurrent law, which treats all of these docu-ments as confidential,’’ McCabe, the assis-tant House majority leader, told the commit-tee. “The very secrecy surrounding the feasi-bility study and the department’s plans hasundermined public confidence and trust inthe process.’’ The latest proposal for an east-west high-

way, which could also include a utility corri-dor connecting Calais and Coburn Gore,would be built with private investments esti-mated at around $2 billion. Some of thoseattending the hearing asserted that it qualifiesas a public-private partnership because theLegislature’s last session appropriated$300,000 for an economic feasibility study. While the state Transportation

Department advertised for companies to dothe study, little interest was shown and noanalysis has been done, Deputy DOTCommissioner Bruce Van Note said.Speaking against McCabe’s bill, Van Notesaid the project is actually a private enter-prise and therefore would not be subject tothe public records release provision. The American Civil Liberties Union’s

Maine chapter disagreed, saying the east-west highway would be a public-privatepartnership. “Decisions about whom the government

enters into partnership with and how theyspend our taxpayer money are certainly mat-ters of public importance,’’ Shenna Bellows,executive director of the ACLU of Maine,said in support of McCabe’s bill. “The pub-lic’s right to know is essential to democracy,and it is the only way we can hold our gov-ernment accountable. Too much secrecypaves the way for bad decisions.’’ Lisa Pohlman, executive director of the

Natural Resources Council of Maine, said

that if the project is deemed to be a public-private partnership, “the public will have noaccess to any information about the project,including the proposed route which couldcross the land of hundreds of Maine andproperty owners’’ as well as properties underconservation ownership including theAppalachian Trail, the Penobscot andKennebec rivers, wetlands and importantwildlife habitats.

An east-west highway has been proposedand rejected six times since 1944, and therejections came mainly because significantbenefits to Mainers and their communitiescould not be assured, according to SierraClub’s Karen Woodsum. “There are still many unanswered ques-

tions about this project and small businessowners and citizens have the right to know,’’said Woodsum. Taking no formal position for or against

the bill, Maine Turnpike Executive DirectorPeter Mills said the law allowing confiden-tiality of public-private highways was enact-ed to protect private contractors from havingto make public financial and other insideinformation that could impact their competi-tive position. “They are simply not going to reveal all of

that information,’’ said Van Note. Mills also said that one of the biggest

impediments to the project will be bottle-necks at U.S.-Canadian border crossings.American federal border officials, he said,can make it very difficult for cargo-bearingtrucks to cross.

MNG Begins Next Phase ofAugusta Pipeline ProjectMaine Natural Gas (MNG), a subsidiary

of Iberdrola USA, has signed a contractwith three Maine companies to start theimmediate construction of the 12 in. (30.5cm) steel pipeline backbone of its naturalgas distribution system in Augusta. Theproject will be led by Enterprise TrenchlessTechnologies (ETTI) of Lisbon Falls,joined by Cianbro ofPittsfield and Shaw BrothersConstruction of Gorham. “This is the next major

milestone for Maine NaturalGas as it continues on thepath of bringing affordablewarmth to Augusta andthroughout the KennebecValley,” said Bob Kump,CEO of Iberdrola USA.“It’s another example ofIberdrola’s ongoing com-mitment to invest in criticalinfrastructure and technolo-gy to better serve all cus-tomers in the region.”During the last five years,

Iberdrola USA andIberdrola have investedmore than $2 billion on elec-tric and natural gas infra-structure and technology in its operatingcompany territories. In Maine alone,Iberdrola has invested more than $1 billionand created more than three thousand jobson major projects such as the recently com-pleted Advanced Meter Initiative (AMI)and the ongoing Maine Power ReliabilityProgram (MPRP). The 10.5 mi. (16.9 km) natural gas back-

bone pipeline, which will serve residential,commercial and institutional customers inthe Augusta area, will tap the Maritimesand Northeast transmission pipeline inWindsor, travel west along Route 17, crossthe Kennebec River, and then on to the newMaineGeneral hospital. Maine Natural Gassigned a ten-year contract in the fall of 2012to deliver natural gas to the new medicalfacility by Nov. 1, 2013, and has been lay-ing pipe in the area continuously since then. “ETTI led the recent Maine Natural Gas

expansions in Freeport and Bath and we’reproud once again to join them in expandingaccess to affordable natural gas to the peo-

ple of Maine and boosting the Maine econ-omy,” said Scott W. Kelly, president ofEnterprise Trenchless Technologies Inc.“The expansion work we’ve been doingwith Maine Natural Gas has created 30local permanent jobs and this particularpipeline project will add 115 Maine jobsduring the 2013 construction season.”

Maine Natural gas currently has the low-est PUC-approved delivery rates in centralMaine and continues to sign contracts withbusinesses, institutions and residents in theAugusta area for natural gas delivery begin-ning in late 2013. “Maine Natural Gas is a solid Maine

company, and Cianbro is thrilled to beworking once again with them and theirparent Iberdrola, to help deliver clean,affordable natural gas to more Mainers; thistime the people of Augusta and theKennebec valley,” said Peter Vigue, CEOof Cianbro. “Iberdrola is one of the leadingenergy services companies in the world —a company of great integrity and financialwherewithal, known for its environmentalstewardship and sustainability initiativesacross the globe.” For more information, call 877/867-1642
