Welcome to the 2016 Arizona APWA Statewide Conference!On behalf of the entire Statewide Conference Planning Committee and the American Public Works Association Arizona Chapter Board of Directors, we personally welcome each of you to the Tucson El Conquistador for the 2016 APWA Statewide Conference. The Planning Committee has worked tirelessly to organize and present a memorable and relevant conference experience for all of our Public Works professionals. Whether you work in the public or private sector, design, construction, or operations and maintenance, you will find educational programs and networking opportunities to help you meet the evolving challenges faced by the Public Works community, and hopefully have a little fun as well.

Our conference theme this year is “The New Normal: Innovative Routes to Meet Public Expectations.” As we continue to recover from the Great Recession, many agencies are still faced with reduced budgets and staffing levels. However, the public still demands and expects uninterrupted, high quality public services. To meet these challenges, Public Works professionals and their private sector partners must find new and innovative ways to provide the best services possible using limited taxpayer dollars, while at the same time managing the expectations and perceptions of the public and elected officials. With our varied conference program you will have the opportunity to learn how your peers are approaching these challenges, as well as attend sessions about leadership, ethics, value engineering, public relations, and other general interest topics in addition to the traditional technical presentations. continued >>>

Remember to spend time in our Exhibitor Showcase area. A number of great consulting and construction firms, as well as equipment/material suppliers, are present as exhibitors. Without the support of these companies, this conference would not be possible. Also, please take a moment and thank all of our sponsors who are listed in the program and throughout the venue for helping to make this a great event.

Some special highlights this year include the Keynote Opening by Grady Gammage Jr., author of The Future of the Suburban City: Lessons from Sustaining Phoenix, as well as other interesting and locally relevant speakers and panel discussions . Remember to have fun with your fellow conference attendees at the legendary “Fun Night” featuring exciting and interactive entertainment from Fun Pianos! Also, join us in celebrating the best in Arizona Public Works at the Thursday Awards Luncheon.

8:30 TO 9:50 AMPresidio BallroomOpening General Session Welcome remarks from Loretta Flick, APWA Arizona Chapter President, and Satish Hiremath, Mayor of Oro Valley.Keynote Opening Speaker: Grady Gammage, Jr., author: The Future of the Suburban City: Lessons from Sustaining Phoenix

In The Future of the Suburban City, Phoenix native Grady Gammage, Jr. looks at the promise of the suburban city as well as the challenges. He argues that places that grew up based on the automobile and the single-family home need to dramatically change and evolve. But suburban cities have some advantages in an era of climate change, and many suburban cities are already making strides in increasing their resilience. Gammage focuses on the story of Phoenix, which shows the power of collective action — government action — to confront the challenges of geography and respond through public policy. He takes a fresh look at what it means to be sustainable and examines issues facing most suburban cities around water supply, heat, transportation, housing, density, urban form, jobs, economics, and politics. The Future of the Suburban City is a realistic yet hopeful story of what is possible for any suburban city.

10:00 TO 10:30 AM Performance-based Decision MakingPresenter: Renee Hoekstra, RHA

Decision-making can sometimes be affected by individual preferences, wants and desires and may not be based on what is best for the program or project. Using performance-based tools provides the team and/or management with a better understanding of “how” a program or project must perform and what defines success. This process will show the participants how to focus on Performance, including some examples of standard Performance Attributes and the importance of defining Performance so that all involved have a consensus understanding before moving forward.

A Circular Economy in the Phoenix Metro Area Waste System Presenters: John Trujillo, City of Phoenix; Dan O’Neill, Global Sustainability Solutions Services/ASU

Public and private managers are faced with resource restrictions due to competition and budget constraints. Cities acting alone are not able to allocate the necessary resources to develop new technologies and promote market development that will support “Trash as a Resource” economic development opportunities. RISN fills this gap by focusing on technology development, market development, public private partnerships, and the critical data and resource flows necessary to identify solutions. (Agave)

Pima County Fleet Services New Facility Information SheetPresenters: Frank Samaniego, Pima County; Paul Mickelberg, WSM Architects; Luigi Leone, Gannett Fleming

The goal of the Fleet Services project was a new maintenance facility that would improve efficiencies by combining all fleet services and personnel under one roof. Other goals: cost effective methodologies in design and construction; staff safety and efficiency; improved employee environment, retention and recruitment; and improved customer service. The project achieved a LEED Silver Certification. (Joshua Tree)

11:00 TO 11:30 AM Design and Construction of a Steel Gate Dam Across an Ephemeral River—Tempe Town Lake Replacement DamPresenters: Andy Goh, Chris Kabala, City of Tempe; Steward Vaghti, Gannett Fleming

After the existing Tempe Town Lake downstream dam failed unexpectedly, the City of Tempe was tasked with designing and constructing a replacement dam to maintain their lake, pass flows in the ephemeral Salt River, and deliberately lower to avert flooding. A hydraulically operated steel gate replacement dam was designed consisting of eight hydraulically operated steel gates supported by concrete piers and a roller-compacted concrete foundation.

How the FCDMC Uses Value Management Tools in Early Project PlanningPresenters: Doug Williams, FCD Maricopa County; Patrice Miller, SAVE International

There is insufficient recognition of the important role that value management has within projects. To be accountable to the communities we serve, we need to deliver high-functioning, cost-appropriate systems. A case study of the Rawhide Wash Project is presented to support the case for a better understanding of integrating value management within the early planning of projects. Tools from the value management process are presented which when used in the early stages of project development can result in good decision-making to best meet project requirements. (Agave)

Innovative In-place Recycling Technologies for Arizona Roads and StreetsPresenters: Chuck Valentine, Asphalt Busters

The in-place recycling technologies for asphalt pavements reuse and rehabilitate existing materials thereby eliminating or significantly reducing the cost, energy use, air pollution, and public disruption caused by traditional remove and replace construction techniques. Utilizing these innovative techniques allow Owner agencies to provide more sustainable solutions in order to solve our continuing funding issues and provide less costly solutions to roadway rehabilitation. (Joshua Tree)

11:30 TO 12:00 PM Abandoned Utilities: Out of Sight, Out of Mind?Presenters: Al Field, Al Field & Associates; Brad Simon, AZ 811

Abandoned utility facilities are a nuisance as well as a hazard to excavators. What can we do to reduce both of these issues? We can keep talking about it or we can tackle the issue enthusiastically with the wisdom, the knowledge and the experience of people like those agency and utility representatives attending this conference. (Presidio I)

The Rebirth of Elephant Head BridgePresenters: David Zaleski, Jim Cunningham, Pima County DOT; Ted Buell, HDR

Most bridges begin life as a new bridge from the ground up. The Elephant Head Road Bridge at the Santa Cruz River began as partially new, but with older, salvaged precast bridge girder. In early 2015, an effort to quickly design and

15

Thursday, August 11, 2016

reconstruct the bridge was started. Two major issues were involved; 1) the need to quickly reconstruct the bridge and 2) exclude 5,000 bats under the bridge. (Agave)

Solar Applications for Water & Wastewater Treatment FacilitiesPresenters: Mike Krebs, Duong Do, PACE

Water and wastewater treatment facilities consume significant energy and appear on the surface to be perfect candidates for alternative energy applications such as solar. However, the viability of alternative power sources is highly variable and unique to each facility for a wide range of reasons, namely life-cycle costs vs savings that these systems can offer. The capital investment (either existing or obtained by grant/loan funding) must be analyzed against the potential rate of return or payback period to ensure the investment is worthwhile.

The City of Globe Story: A Historic Arizona City Modernizes its Water SystemPresenters: Jerry Barnes, City of Globe; Paul Hendricks, Environmental Utilities Services; Lisa Melton, Hazen and Sawyer

Globe is one of the older cities in Arizona, and significant portions of its water system date to the 1920s. The community developed as a mining center, and has withstood the ups and downs of that industry for the past century. As

16

part of a communitywide initiative to make Globe the “Finest Small City in Arizona,” the City has undertaken a comprehensive program to update the water system. (Agave)

Advocacy at the Chapter Level—Get Involved!Presenter: Andrea Eales, Director of Government Affairs American Public Works Association

Advocacy is a critically important tool each APWA Chapter needs to be utilizing. As the best messengers for the public works profession, APWA Chapters cannot afford to be complacent. Come learn the “why” and the “how” of engaging with elected officials and policymakers to ensure the Arizona Chapter can increase its effectiveness and serve as a go-to resource to local communities and policymakers.

Utilities are known to be one of the most common sources of construction delays and increased project costs on transportation and public works projects. Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is a practice that combines geophysics, surveying and civil engineering and greatly enhances design and construction of these projects by qualifying the levels of accuracy relative to existing utilities during the design phase to reduce, if not eliminate, design and construction delays and their associated costs.

Roundabouts Jumpstart Downtown RevitalizationPresenter: Scott Ritchie, Roundabouts & Traffic Engineering

Large developers are now pining for the dilapidated riverfront properties in a small town set to explode with urban design, a modern roundabout corridor, and multi-modal improvements. Jurisdictional foresight to first start with implementing five multi-lane roundabouts along this newly adopted state highway jumpstarts this massive downtown revitalization plan. A prime section of riverfront roadway will convert from an existing industrial area to a dense urban downtown masterpiece. This long-term project’s foundation leads with the construction of modern roundabouts along the corridor (in phases) and anchors the City’s new beginning with pre-planned access control and future traffic demands.
