Project:Wayne County Consolidated Jail Facility

Owner: Partnership between the Wayne CountyCommission, Wayne County Executive’s Office, andthe Wayne County Sheriff’s Office.

Architect/Engineer: AECOM / Ghafari Associates

Project Value: $220 million

Completed: June 2014

dck Project Team: Guido Morfesi, Don Whaley, Jon Lien, David Burton, and Tom Salopek

This state-of-the-art facility will incorporate best practice technologies to save the county approximately $20 million peryear while creating a safer environment for its employees and inhabitants.

dck, in a joint venture with Wal-bridge Construction, is building thenew $220 million Wayne CountyConsolidated Jail Facility on a 7.2-acre site in downtown Detroit. The 715,000 SF four-story buildingwill consolidate three existing detention facilities and provide 2,192 beds serving general popula-tion, segregation, and special needs.

Through an integrated project delivery process, the Walbridge-dckteam is working closely with WayneCounty, its representatives, and thedesign team of AECOM/Ghafari.Prior to breaking ground in February2012, in the pre-construction phase,the team worked on preliminarybudgeting and scheduling, con-structability reviews, building systemanalysis, and construction pre-planning activities. Pre-constructionis currently nearing completion andconstruction is well on its way. Construction of the caissons has beencompleted, and work on foundations,retaining walls, basements, and thefirst floor podium is in progress.

The sheriff’s administration and alljail support functions will be located

on the first floor. The second floorwill house beds dedicated to the female and mental health patientpopulations. Central medical / mental health services will also belocated on this floor. The third andfourth floors will consist of inmatehousing, including single-cell highersecurity housing units, and multi-occupancy cell units for the mediumand lower security populations.

Most major bid packages have beenawarded and all subcontractorsbrought on board to date have beenworking collaboratively in design-assist roles. The fast-track approachhas allowed work on the founda-tions to be completed prior to theoverall design of the facility. Thishas created many challenges, but the team has worked collaborativelyto maintain progress and control the budget. The client has made numerous requests for changes and the Walbridge/dck team hasprovide scheduling and budgetinginformation, which would allow theclient to make critical decisions. ■

The new jail is being designed entirely in Revit/Navisworks, aBuilding Information Modeling (BIM) tool. Subcontractors participate in weekly coordinationmeetings where items are coordinated, updated, and documented through the model.The project team has also adoptedIntegrated Project Delivery (IPD)principles with the intent of cost savings.

New Guam Hospital BECOMES A REALITY

What a feeling! Years of commit-ment (and a leap of faith) finallypaid off for dck when in July 2011, a contract was signed naming dckpacific guam, LLC the Construc-tion Manager at Risk to build an exciting new project that will changehealthcare on Guam: Guam Re-gional Medical City (GRMC). Ourclient, The Medical City, is a world-class, Joint Commission Accreditedhospital network in the Philippines.GRMC, which will be the first andonly private hospital on the island,will be located on a six-acre site ad-jacent to the busy Route 1-Route 3intersection. The first phase of thedevelopment is planned as a six-story, 267,000 SF, 120-bed, $230million state-of-the-art hospital.

According to Lou DeMaria, dck pacific guam Vice President, whoworked relentlessly on this deal foryears, “Nothing about this project issimular to our traditional businessmodel except that construction is involved. It is most unique in that it was borne solely from a public need, the ability of a small group to implement a strategy around thatneed, and the vision of businessmanPeter Sgro.”

How it BeganDeMaria first met Sgro nearly fiveyears prior to this after reading anews article about his vision andcalled Sgro to discuss how dck couldhelp. DeMaria did not realize at thetime that Sgro only had a vision andnothing else. Instead of dismissingSgro, dck spent the next four yearsworking out how to translate Sgro’svision into the project we now haveunder contract. Sgro drove this proj-ect from the personal experience ofhis mother’s hospital stay, and ulti-mately with the non-profit HospitalDevelopment Foundation, which heestablished. Sgro, dck, and RuthGurusamy RN, MBA, MSN—whoprovided significant healthcare expertise—worked with a number of partners to translate this visionfor a premier private hospital onGuam into a reality.

Throughout this timeframe, dckprovided its medical constructionexpertise, value engineering andconstructability ideas, industry con-tacts, estimates, schedules, and other

The Phase 1 building, along with patient suites, includes 15 dedicated emergency beds,15 intensive care rooms, 8 surgery suites, a birthing center, and a neonatal intensivecare unit. Cancer treatment,medical imaging, cardiology and ophthalmology clinics,and on-site laboratory facilitieswill revolutionize the way healthcare is provided on the island.

information, which moved the proj-ect to the next phase. dck’s five-year commitment led to the companybeing awarded, without competition,a formal pre-construction servicescontract in April 2011 and this current Construction Manager-at-Risk contract.

Pulling it TogetherThere were literally no design con-cepts or initial guidelines on theproject when dck was issued anNTP for pre-construction services.dck coordinated a design/conceptcharrette to evaluate design optionswhile, at the same time, the clientheld focus groups on Guam to deter-mine medical needs and how totranslate those needs into a modernfacility that addressed them. A sec-ond design charrette consolidatedinformation and finalized a short listof service options and facility config-

urations. The design and operationteams have been working hand inhand since then to finalize the floorplans and to support the client'sbanks that are providing financing.This is another area where dck pro-vided client support through concep-tual estimating and by helpingsecure a part of the actual financing.Bringing this project from vision tohard asset required the combinedknowledge and skill sets of scores ofpeople, and dck was a key compo-nent of that knowledge managementprocess.

Prior to construction starting, therewere several key milestones to thiscontract: a not-to-exceed price thatwas prepared at conceptual design; a verification price submitted at theend of 35% design; a GMP at 65%;and a final verification to be submit-ted utilizing the June 1, 2012, 100%

dck executives and project team members joined Dr. Alfredo R. A. Bengzon, President & CEO of The Medical City; Lt. Governor Ray Tenorio; and other prominent Guam community members for the November 2011 ground blessing ceremony for the new GRMC.

dck-ecc pacific guam, LLC—dck’s joint venture partner-ship with Environmental Chemical Corporation—has beenawarded a $46.6 million design-build contract by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii for afixed-price task order under a previously awarded multipleaward construction contract. The project involves construct-

ing an operations complex with an aircraft fire and rescue station at Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH), Kaneohe.

Construction of the new MCBH complex, which will be usedas the command operations facility, air passenger terminal,and cargo terminal, is expected to begin in late 2012 and to be completed by September 2014. ■

P-182 MISSILE MAGAZINE –2012 Award of Excellence “FederalConstruction” under $30 million

When dck pacific was awarded this design-build project in January2010, the last time a box magazinehad been built in West Loch at Pearl Harbor was 18 years before.Because of the nature of the projectand the type of munitions to bestored, the structural, electrical, mechanical, and blast doors wereprescriptive in design. The demand-ing design for the structures neededto be adhered to precisely in order to maintain the security of the elements and provide consistency on missile magazine constructionacross the nation.

dck pacific’s scope of work to construct five standard type “C”earth-covered box magazines with25-ft. electrically operated steel blast doors that weigh 5 tons eachinvolved the placement of more than8,000 cubic yards of concrete, 700tons of reinforcing steel, 15,000cubic meters of fill with 6,500 tons of select borrow, 5,500 tons of 3Bfine, and 4,200 tons of base course.

The project team was innovative in the methods and means of constructing this project, includingproviding a high-quality slab andfinish by utilizing a combination ofconcrete blocks and CHCU chairsfor the slab-on-grade double meshreinforcing; placing drain rock backfill against 17- to 19-ft-highwalls; and working with heavily installed rebar congestion in thewalls and columns. Planning safetyinto all work activities on this predominantly structural project

enabled the project to have no recordable incidents or accidents.

Support facilities constructed included access roads, a concreteapron, interior lighting and power,exterior security lighting, groundingand building lightning protection,building electrical service, site secondary electrical distribution,and fire hydrants.

HYATT REGENCY WAIKIKI RENOVATION – 2012 MERIT AWARD for Renovation/Remodeling morethan $5 millionNow a hot spot for dining and socializing, the Hyatt RegencyWaikiki Beach Resort and Spa project involved the complete reno-vation of the resort’s entire thirdfloor public areas.

dck pacific began the 20,300 SFrenovation in January 2011 andcompleted it in 10 months. Primaryconcerns by the hotel includednoise, dust, and any inconvenienceto their guests. Noisy work was allowed only between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and delivery of materials and equipment to the constructionarea was challenged due to thehotel’s service elevator being toosmall to accommodate the large materials and equipment. dck pacific communicated daily withthe hotel operator to alleviate any

inconvenience. Working hours wereadjusted to avoid loud noises, and aboom truck crane was brought in tohoist materials to the third level.Coordination with the hotel and surrounding properties were criticalto ensure a smooth and safe operation. Work began with the demolition ofthe old restaurant and bars replacingthem with the new Regency Clubwhere Hyatt VIP Club Members canrelax around two fire bowls and

view the beautiful sunsets; SHORRestaurant; poolside lounge and barcalled SWIM; and Japengo Restau-rant. The Japengo boasts dark bamboo flooring with ceramic wallcladding made from recycled materi-als, wood slat ceilings, a sushi bar,and private dining area.

Other work completed by dck pacific at this resort included renovation of the 2200 SF presidentialsuite and seven guest suites. dckProject Manager Roy Yamagishistated, “The teamwork betweenour subs and suppliers was excellent, and everyone pulled together to ensure the projectwas built to the high standardsthat Hyatt expected.” ■

DCK PACIFIC PROJECTS HONORED AT AWARDS BANQUETAs a member since 1941, dck pacific was honored by the GCA of Hawaii for its loyalty, dedication, and service to Hawaii’s construction industry. The Missile Magazine and Hyatt Regency Waikiki projects received awards from the GCA Hawaii in April.


ck worldwide is executing aCMc (Construction Manager asConstructor) contract by theGeneral Services Administra-

tion (GSA) for the $109 millionfaçade recladding project at the A.J.Celebrezze Federal Building inCleveland, Ohio.

This project entails installing a sec-ondary glass and aluminum curtainwall system over the existing facade,replacement of existing interior win-dows, roof replacement, and interioralterations to accommodate Depart-ment of Defense (DOD) facility se-curity requirements and to improvethe 32-story building’s energy per-formance.

The main scope of the project is toengineer and install a new glass andaluminum curtain wall systemaround the building. The curtainwall design is a performance-basedspecification where the curtain wallsubcontractor is responsible for thedesign, engineering, fabrication, andinstallation of the curtain wall. The

A/E provided specific architec-tural and performance designcriteria which the curtain wallsubcontractor has to meetthrough engineering, mockup,and testing.

“Aside from the unique scope of the project, this is a particularlychallenging project for many reasons,” said Steve Thompson, dck Operations Director, “but mainly because we arecompleting this project while the building is fully occupied.”There are approximately 5,000employees that work in thebuilding, and another nearly5,000 visitors each day! Otherchallenges include the riggingand hoisting of the over 400-ft.structure, weather, and limited laydown space, as well as theneed to protect the $40 millionplaza upgrades project completedby dck just last year.

dck initially provided pre-construction services and

assisted the GSA and their A/E during the Design Phase. Now thatthe Construction Phase is underway,dck has a staff of 12 employees thatincludes managers, engineers, safetyrepresentatives and superintendentsonsite, which are supporting the two shifts of approximately 75tradesmans onsite from the various subcontractors.

This very high profile project is extremely important to the GSA asit is one of the largest American Recovery and Reinvestment Act(ARRA) projects in the country and largest ever constructed doublecurtain wall system project in NorthAmerica. Once completed, the A. J.Celebrezze building will not only become a jewel of GSA’s inventory,but a model for energy conservationrestoration projects throughout thecountry. dck is privileged to be apart of this monumental project. ■

CELEBREZZE PROJECT IN FULL SWING!

The curtain wall will be supported by a new “exo-skeleton” comprised of approximately 1,110 tonsof structural steel. The new structural steel will cantilever approximately 1’-6” from the existing face of the building. Openings will be cut through the existing stainless steel façade to allow for the attachment of the structural steel to the existing steel columns. This configuration will create a cavitybetween the existing face of building and new curtainwall. Also included as part of the curtain wall work, is the removal of all existing vision glazing, the addition of new insulated window frames in the existing openings, and re-caulking of the entire existing facade. ■

dck has an extensive and successful history ofproviding preconstruction andconstruction-related servicesto the General Services Ad-ministration (GSA) for complexprojects throughout the U.S. dck began working for the GSA Region5 office in 1999 when the companywas awarded a hard bid General Contractor contract for the Carl B.Stokes U.S. Courthouse. Since thattime, dck has continued to foster therelationship with the GSA that has ledto multiple awards in the Region 5area, including the current A. J. Celebrezze façade recladding projectin Cleveland, Ohio. That relationshipwas also leveraged to negotiate a bestvalue contract for the construction ofthe Wheeling Courthouse Annex in Region 3.

dck has provided its services both as General Contractor (GC) and Construction Manager as Constructor(CMc)—a contract format in which dckas the contractor is involved early inthe preconstruction design phase.Through the CMc format, dck gains a greater understanding of the project and the client’s project goals by participating in design workshops, performing construct-ability reviews, providing preli-minary cost estimates, developingpreliminary construction schedules, and providing Value Engineering options prior to the release of construction documents. This early involvement has led to dck’s continued success in the construction phases of the projectsand is evidenced by the multiple construction awards and laudatoryclient satisfaction reports received.

dck personnel have worked diligentlyto build and maintain this relationshipover the past 13 years by working hand-in-hand with the GSA personnel tocomplete projects on-time, within budget,and to the highest quality standards.

The projects dck has executed because of this successful client relationship include:

• Carl B. Stokes U.S. Courthouse

• Historic Renovation of Howard M. Metzenbaum U.S. Courthouse

• Wheeling Courthouse Annex

• A. J. Celebrezze Federal Building HVAC and Plaza Upgrades

• Nathaniel R. Jones Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse

• A. J. Celebrezze Federal Building Façade Recladding (current project)

GSA REGION 5 RELATIONSHIPA Performance Mock-up (PMU) hasbeen constructed for this project and is being tested in a specializedtesting facility in York, Pennsylvania.The PMU will feature each of the twodistinct curtain wall types and will be two-and-a-half-stories high (approx 30’ high x by 25’ wide.) ThePMU will be tested to ensure that thecurtain wall meets all performance,structural, thermal, and aesthetic requirements BEFORE the fabricationand installation of the curtain wallcan commence.

Project: South Range, Schofield Barracks

Lead Designer: Stanley Consultants Project Value: $128 million

Estimated Completion: 2014 dck Project Team: Elton Au, Roxanne Birch,Steve Burton, Trey Bumanglag, Wai Lik Chan,Ruby Canakis, John Dagdag, Brandon Goo, Victoria Lau, Keith Loo-Chan, Norman Makalena,Allan Matthews, Eliseo Manmano, Vernon Miller,Mitch Mizokami, Leroy Ng, Tom Oshita, Mark Rau,Iz Sapigao, Sebastian Siaki, Wen Stafford, RandalTanaka, Henry Tanoue, Jovy Turman, Todd Weller,Andrew Zimmerman

Upgrade of SchofieldIn 2011 dck pacific, though its dck-ecc joint venture, was awardeda design-build contract from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers forthe construction of four militaryprojects at South Range in SchofieldBarracks, Hawaii. The project is im-portant for the future of the Schofieldmilitary community as many unitsare currently scattered on base inovercrowded and aging facilities.

“We’re building this campus to putworld-class facilities on the groundfor world-class soldiers, so they canfulfill their mission in Hawaii andaround the world,” said HonoluluDistrict Commander Lt. Col. DouglasB. Guttormsen at the project GroundBlessing held in November 2011.

The $128 million South Range project is the largest contractawarded to date by the HonoluluDistrict. dck-ecc is responsible fordesign and construction of 25 newbuildings and facilities totaling200,000 square feet, as well as

infrastructure expansion, a road system for access to campus proj-ects, a sewage pumping station, anelectrical substation, a water tank,and a remote switching center forthe new campus. Major buildingsinclude brigade and battalion headquarter buildings, company operations facilities, and tacticalequipment maintenance facilities.

The infrastructure project is a majorpart of this contract. It establishes autilities backbone structure for futurebuildings on this campus. dck pacific forces are performing thesitework that involves mass gradingof 110 acres. Dozers were equippedwith Trimble machine controlledGPS equipment to perform the grading operations. The use of thissystem not only saves time, it alsoeliminates having a grade setter foreach equipment to manually meas-ure/check the vertical cuts requiredfor each area. The infrastructure includes the placement of approxi-mately 4.1 miles of roadway, 3400 LF

sewer, 50,000 LF water, and 17,000drain lines.

“We are proud to be a part ofUSACE’s future on this base.” saidEric G. Tessem, Sr. VP and GeneralManager of dck pacific. “Our project team’s objective is to build a first-class facility for our soldiersso they can efficiently train andmaintain unit readiness to fulfilltheir missions.”

dck pacific, in partnership with Environmental Chemical Corpora-tion and lead designer Stanley Consultants, anticipates completionof the project in 2014. ■

MOVING EARTH The Marcellus and Utica Shaleshave certainly created a greatamount of wealth in Pennsylvaniaand Ohio. Areas that have been dor-mant for decades are finally seeingmeasurable economic activity andmany landowners are now wealthythanks in large part to productioncompanies staking their leasingclaims. Much of this activity hasbeen driven by the Exploration &Production (E&P) efforts in the up-stream by companies like Chesa-peake, Range Resources, Talisman,and Shell. While this economic ac-tivity is certainly welcome to the re-gion, it will be short lived unlessthere is a comprehensive strategy toaddress the infrastructure needs ofPennsylvania and Ohio. This iswhere dck worldwide comes in.dck has a very unique opportunityto become a driving force for energy-related construction in WesternPennsylvania.

OIL & GAS OVERVIEW The Marcellus and Utica Shales areDevonian-age shales located in thenorth east part of the United States,impacting the economies of NewYork, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,Ohio, and Maryland. These areas ofshales produce both wet and drygases, both of which are highly de-sirable and demand for them willsurely increase over several years.

DCK SERVICES TO THE OIL &GAS INDUSTRY Moving earth has been the founda-tion of many dck projects both do-mestic and international—a majorbenefit for midstream operators.Midstream operators require con-struction management that is sensi-tive to strict timelines and budgetswhile understanding the intricaciesof moving earth in diverse terrains.Midstream companies act much liketoll-roads, they earn when theytransport natural gas; any disrup-tions in service may lead to cata-strophic losses. To prevent losses,

midstream operators have partneredwith dck in a number of pipelineconstruction projects.

Midstream and E&P companies willdepend on dck to provide compre-hensive construction managementprograms throughout the life of theirprojects. For producers, well padsites will require construction thatcan withstand the pressure andweight of a drilling rig in addition toa vast network of access roads, gath-ering lines, retention ponds, andother miscellaneous facilities. Muchlike midstream operators, producersare sensitive to strict timeframes.They must produce and transportgas to market or risk becoming un-profitable. By partnering with dck,gas producers can focus their re-sources on producing natural gasrather than construction projects.

CONCLUSIONdck is presented with a game-chang-ing opportunity. While dck is aglobal company, its roots are firmlyplanted in Western Pennsylvania,the epicenter for Marcellus andUtica shale operations.

For just under 90 years, this com-pany has moved countless tons ofearth for thousands of projects allover the world and now dck has theopportunity to provide a suite ofservices to a still growing industry.By reaching out to upstream naturalgas producers and midstream opera-tors, dck can cover its bases formany more years to come. ■

FUTURE OF MARCELLUS & UTICA SHALEFrom Dan Garcia, dck Business Development ManagerDan Garcia joined dck worldwide last fall. Mr. Garcia is an attorney who has a background in the Energy Market, specifically the Marcellus Shale and pipeline industries. Based in dck’s corporate office, Dan’s focus is on those industries to expand on dck’s recent energy and pipeline experience and the opportunities that are here within its headquarters region.

DCK HOSTS ENERGYROUNDTABLESSince January 2012, dck hosted twoenergy roundtable discussions inPittsburgh. The first brought together Pennsylvania CongressmanTim Murphy and companies and individuals across the energy industry, including oil and gas,pipeline, and wind energy companies,utilities, engineers, and ironworkers.

The discussion was centered aroundthe region’s energy infrastructureneeds, the collective goals from

energy, environmental, transportation, and financial—coincided with the announcement of Pennsylvania Governor Corbett’s plan to provide taxbreaks for the construction of such facilities in the Commonwealth. ■

wellhead to consumer, upcoming related legislation,and dck’s 2012 goals andstrategies. Congressman Murphy also spoke about theneed to improve our region’s infrastructure.

Then on June 5, a secondroundtable attracted more than50 attendees to discuss the economicimpact of building ethylene “crack-ing” facilities in Pennsylvania. Theforum, which was attended by across-section of regional industry executives—including construction,

gain. Outdoor lanais and landscapedroofs occur at the intermediatefloors, and a steel and glass canopyprovides shelter for the building en-trance and pedestrian arcade.

Designed to achieve LEED Silvercertification, which is consideredrare for a building with a data cen-ter, sustainable green design strate-gies include energy-efficient buildingorientation, daylighting strategies including horizontal light shelves,displacement ventilation to reduceenergy consumption, a water catch-ment system, vegetated roofs andlanais to mitigate storm drainage,healthy indoor air quality, systemscommissioning, conservations of resources, and recycling.

Building partners on the project include Ferraro Choi and Associatesas project architect, and Bowers +Kubota Consulting as constructionmanager. ■

“This center will provide the foundation for our mission-focused efforts and move us a giant step forward in our quest to be a model 21st-century university with excellent facilities,” said UH President M. R. C. Greenwood at the groundbreakingceremony held on February 3, 2012.
