the construction of a30-megawatt, five-turbineoffshore wind farm, thefirst of its kind in theUnited states, is on sched-ule for completion laterthis year, at a reported costof $290 million. theBlock Island Wind Farmwill reportedly supplymost of Block Island,R.I.’s power while reduc-ing air pollution acrosssouthern New england foryears into the future.

When fully completed,the wind farm will consistof five, 6-megawatt windturbine generators, a submarine cable interconnecting theturbines, and a submarine cable from the northernmost tur-bine to an interconnection point on Block Island.

the farm is located approximately 3 mi. (4.8 km) south-east of Block Island. the first offshore construction seasonwas completed at the end of 2015, when all five steel jacketfoundations were fully installed at site.

during the winter andinto the spring, onshorework was under way,including turbine assem-bly and submarine cableinstallation. submarinecable installation also wasscheduled for spring, anderection of the five off-shore wind turbines is setfor this summer.

Project ownerdeepwater Wind is led bya veteran managementteam with experience indeveloping complex ener-gy projects worldwide.Headquartered inProvidence, R.I., the com-pany reports that it isactively planning offshore

wind projects to serve multiple east coast markets located15 or more mi. (24 km) offshore, including New York,Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Jersey.

“From the first ‘steel in the water’ in July to the last decklift in November, we’ve completed a season of firsts — notonly for the Block Island Wind Farm but also for the launch

BostoN (AP) this time last year, MGM officials andstate and city leaders were reveling in a confetti-filledgroundbreaking at the future site of a resort casino in thewestern Massachusetts city of springfield.

But what had been projected to be the state’s first Las

Vegas-style gambling destination has faced a series of set-backs. Now MGM springfield is gearing up for its first fullseason of construction, one year later than hoped.

“It’s had a serious number of twists and turns, but thoseare finally behind us,” said Kevin Kennedy, springfieldMayor domenic sarno’s chief development officer.“We’re pleased we’re on course for a september 2018

of a new American offshore wind industry,” saidJeffrey Grybowski, Deepwater Wind CEO. “Weare proud of the work we’ve accomplished so far,but we’ve only just begun — and 2016 will be ayear to remember.”R.I. Gov. Gina M. Raimonda noted that Rhode

Island is proud to be home to the nation’s first off-shore wind farm.“With this project, we’re putting hundreds of

our local workers to work at-sea and at our world-class ports to build a project that will help diversi-fy Rhode Island’s energy mix and protect ourenvironment. I applaud Deepwater Wind for theirsuccessful first offshore construction season, and Ilook forward to seeing the project fully opera-tional and generating renewable energy in 2016.”During the 18-week construction period last

year, approximately 200 workers (100 of themlocal) and a dozen construction and transportbarges, tugboats, crew ships and monitoring ves-sels were active at the project’s port.In all, more than 300 local workers will be

involved with building the Block Island Wind Farm.Deepwater Wind is utilizing four Rhode Island ports, BlockIsland, Galilee, Quonset Point and the Port of Providence, tocomplete construction and staging.According to Deepwater Wind, all construction activities

have been completed in accordance with strict environmen-tal rules set by state and federal government agencies. In

2013, Deepwater Wind voluntarily agreed to a series of pro-tective measures to minimize potential underwater noiseimpacts on North Atlantic right whales during wind farmconstruction.“We are especially proud that our work was done while

upholding very high environmental standards,” Grybowskisaid.

Deepwater Wind and General Electric established a newtemporary manufacturing facility at the Port of Providencefor the assembly of turbine components. GE (which recent-ly completed its acquisition of Alstom’s offshore wind unit)is supplying the 6-megawatt Haliade 150 offshore wind tur-bines for the Block Island Wind Farm. Approximately 60local workers will be involved in this aspect of the project.GE’s work will include the installation of the electrical,

mechanical, and safety equipment within the bottom towersections now at ProvPort, with the remaining tower sectionsarriving in Rhode Island next year. Each turbine tower consists of three sections, with a total

height of approximately 270 ft. (82.3 m), and a total weightof approximately 440 tons (399 t), once assembled.Some construction and staging work also is being com-

pleted at Quonset Point, in North Kingstown, R.I.Fabrication of some of the foundation components was com-pleted by local welders at Quonset’s Specialty DivingServices in early 2015, and the port continues to host con-struction work and vessel staging for the wind farm. Quonsetalso will host the project’s long-term operations and mainte-nance facility.The project is scheduled to be in-service and generating

power in the fourth quarter of 2016.A joint venture between Weeks Marine and Manson

Construction is serving as Deepwater Wind’s offshore foun-dation installation contractor. Local contractors assistingwith this work include Aladdin Electric; Bay Crane NewEngland; Essex Newbury; E.W. Audet & Sons; AeroMechanical Inc.; Waterson Terminal Services; GZAGeoEnvironmental; VHB; and Fuss & O’Neill. Workersfrom the laborers, carpenters, elevator constructors, IBEW,ironworkers, plumbers and pipefitters, cement masons, oper-ating engineers and stevedoring unions will be involved.“Building an offshore wind industry in the U.S. will cre-

ate thousands of American jobs,” states Deepwater Wind’swebsite “Today, the offshore wind industry in Europeemploys nearly 60,000 workers. There are approximately2,500 wind turbines spinning in the ocean off the coast ofEurope today, but none yet in the United States. Developingan offshore wind industry right here in America will increaseour nation’s competitiveness in energy sector, revitalizeindustrial ports, bolster the manufacturing sector, and creategood, high paying, jobs in the years to come.”

RIDOT Hosts Nation’s DOTs to Share Winter Storm PracticesImproved winter storm operations and

dramatically reduced pothole claims wereamong the messages being delivered as theRhode Island Department of Transportation(RIDOT) hosted officials from Departmentsof Transportation from across the country.The Clear Roads Spring Meeting took

place the week of April 14 at the RadissonHotel Providence Airport in Warwick, R.I.The conference, featured representationfrom 33 states, afforded an opportunity fortransportation professionals to learn fromeach other about uses of innovative technol-ogy and equipment and other steps taken tomore effectively and efficiently keep roadsclear of snow and ice. This is the first timeRhode Island has hosted this conference,which occurs twice each year, and providedRIDOT an opportunity to learn from bestpractices employed elsewhere in the coun-try.Peter Alviti Jr., RIDOT director, opened

the conference by discussing managementchanges in the past year, including the con-version of 40 unfilled administrative posi-tions, and eliminating such positions as pho-tographer, to bolster its maintenance work-

force to provide additional personnel forwinter storms and maintenance operationsyear round.Also at the conference, RIDOT

announced that both calls from citizensreporting potholes and claims filed with theDepartment dropped significantly this win-ter season. In the past five years, RIDOT hasaveraged approximately 560 pothole claimsper year. This past winter, RIDOT onlyreceived 148 claims — a drop of 75 percent.A similar sharp decline was observed in pot-hole calls, with the total number of callsreceived in March 2016 to date is less thana quarter of the pothole calls received inMarch 2015.“While most people think we had a

milder than usual winter, our records showwe actually experienced a typical winterseason,” Alviti said. “The drop in calls andcomplaints is evidence of the many steps wehave taken to bring about change at RIDOTand improve the quality of our roads for thetraveling public.”RIDOT credits the drop in potholes to the

use of automated pothole patchingmachines, brought into service to help

restore roads following the harsh winter of2014-15. The machines operated through-out the summer and fall months, providinga more durable and longer lasting patch ascompared with traditional methods. Thepothole patching services utilize the latestspray-injection technology to repair pot-holes more efficiently and safely whileensuring a longer-lasting fix. The patchers(which are controlled by a single operatorfrom the cab of a truck) are capable ofcleaning away debris and filling a pothole inonly a few minutes. The pothole patchingmachines were on duty this past winter, pro-viding a reliable hot-mix equivalent (typi-cally unavailable from December throughMarch) for fixing potholes all season.RIDOT in 2015 also placed a high prior-

ity on resurfacing roads that had generatednumerous pothole complaints for severalyears, such as Routes 37, 102, 116,Cumberland Hill Road and sections of I-95.The past winter also saw the debut of the

state’s first-ever strategic salt reserve, meantto protect against national road salt short-ages experienced in previous winters.RIDOT purchased an additional 20,000 tons

(18,143.7 t) of salt and stockpiled it at itsJefferson Boulevard salt facility to be usedto supplement its normal inventory of30,000 tons (27,215.5 t) should the needarise.RIDOT continues to grow its winter fleet

as well, adding 13 new plow trucks for thispast season, bringing its total to 115 trucks.A larger fleet allows the state to more effec-tively manage storms and reduces the needfor private vendors to assist with winteroperations.Launched in 2004 by experienced winter

maintenance professionals, Clear Roads is aresearch program aimed at rigorous testingof winter maintenance materials, equip-ment, and methods for use by highwaymaintenance crews. RIDOT joined the peerexchange group in 2012 to take full advan-tage of the depth of research for wintermaintenance operations as well as the directrelationship with its DOT partners acrossthe country.

By Dave GramAssociAted Press

MoNtPeLier, Vt. (AP) A frag-mented Vermont supreme court sidedwith developers of a major solar powerproject in rutland town against thewishes of the town and its neighbors.

the five-member court split threeways before ruling 3-2 in support ofallowing construction of the rutlandtown project. the three-membermajority was split 2-1 on one of the bigissues in the case.

the court upheld a ruling by thestate Public service Board that gavethe 2.3 megawatt rutland renewableenergy project a green light. in doingso, it rehashed arguments heard at theLegislature over who should havegreater say — the state or local com-munities — when developers come toa town looking to build solar and wind-power projects.

the town spent a year developinglocal solar siting standards, only to seethem rejected by the Public serviceBoard as carrying sufficient weight in

its consideration of the project at hand.town officials then authored a resolu-tion, demanding greater local say overthe projects. More than 150 ofVermont’s 251 municipalities signedon.

the town and neighbors objectedthat the rutland renewable energyproject would have undue aestheticand historic impacts and would useprime agricultural land. they alsosought to use an addendum to the townplan to slow the project or scale it back.

But the court majority upheld theboard’s findings that the opponents’concerns did not outweigh the greatergood of the state. it said it generallygrants great deference to decisions bythe board, which has expertise in ener-gy issues.

the “Legislature can change thebalance between state and local regula-tion as it deems appropriate,” themajority opinion said. “in the absenceof such a statutory change, the Boardhas the final policy decision. Under thedeferential standard of review, wemust uphold that policy choice.”

the court decision came as a senate

committee was considering Housechanges to a senate-passed bill thatwould give towns and regional plan-ning commissions more clout but callon them to develop energy plans com-porting with a state goal of getting 90percent of Vermont’s energy fromrenewables by 2050.

Associate Justices John dooley iiiand Marilyn skoglund wrote themajority opinion; Associate JusticeBeth robinson wrote a concurrencethat split in one respect from the major-ity, saying it didn’t grapple enoughwith the question of whether the boardhad given “due consideration” to thetown’s concerns.

chief Justice Paul reiber, who prac-ticed law in rutland before formerGov. Jim douglas appointed him to thecourt, joined by Associate JusticeHarold eaton, wrote a stinging dissentthat called the Public service Boarddecision “self-serving” and “disingen-uous at best.”

RIDOT Using Accelerated Method for East Bay BridgesGov. Gina M. Raimondo joined with

Rhode Island Department of Transportation(RIDOT) officials to tour RIDOT’s acceler-ated bridge reconstruction project for theEast Shore Expressway and McCormickQuarry bridges in East Providence, twoexamples of the many deficient bridgeswhich RIDOT is going to fix as it moves for-ward with its RhodeWorks program.The bridges serve as a vital link in Rhode

Island’s highway system, providing directaccess for the East Shore Expressway (onebridge for each direction of travel) overWarren Avenue and connecting all of RhodeIsland’s East Bay communities (EastProvidence, Barrington, Warren and Bristol)with I-195. Both bridges have structuraldeficiencies that cannot be addressed with-out a complete replacement. Already, areabusinesses and residents have been disruptedby a 17-ton (15.4 t) weight limit for thebridge carrying off-ramp traffic from I-195East onto Route 114 South. The weight limithas been in effect for more than four years,requiring trucks to detour onto EastProvidence city streets.“When we took action to rebuild Rhode

Island’s crumbling roads and bridges, wealso committed to rebuilding RIDOT to beready to manage these projects and deliverresults on time and on budget,” said

Raimondo. “Today’s project update was agood opportunity to see firsthand the newmethods RIDOT is putting in place to inno-vate in the department, move more quickly,and get the job done. We’re going to keepfixing bridges like this that are so importantto the communities they serve, and we’regoing to keep putting Rhode Islanders backto work in the process.”RIDOT will reconstruct the bridges by

using precast foundation elements and byconstructing the new bridge decks on largesupports adjacent to the current bridges.When the new bridge decks are finished thisfall, RIDOT will temporarily close the firststructure (East Shore Expressway Bridge)and the road underneath and in one 80-hourextended weekend closure, will remove theold bridge and install the new one. Theprocess will be repeated in approximatelytwo weeks for the second structure, theMcCormick Quarry Bridge.Using accelerated bridge construction

methods, RIDOT will dramatically shortenthe overall construction timeframe, complet-ing the bridge one year earlier than would bepossible using conventional constructionmethods. Additionally, if RIDOT had nottaken this approach, the travelling publicwould have been impacted over the courseof a year with each ramp only opened at half

capacity.“Rhode Island has the worst bridges in the

country, and with a great sense of urgencywe are exploring all options, including inno-vative accelerated bridge construction meth-ods like we’re using on this project,” PeterAlviti Jr., RIDOT director said. “With care-ful and diligent oversight through our newproject management approach, we are com-mitted to delivering the project on time, onbudget and with the highest quality.”These two bridges, originally built back in

1959, are being replaced through a $16.7million project with a $663,000 budget con-tingency. The East Shore ExpresswayBridge, which carries traffic from I-195 Eastto Route 114 South, carries 20,600 vehiclesper day. The McCormick Quarry Bridgeservices 17,000 vehicles per day making thereturn trip from Route 114 North to I-195West.The East Shore Expressway Bridge is

classified as functionally obsolete, with sig-nificant concrete cracking that limits its abil-ity to service large vehicles, resulting in thebridge’s 17-ton weight limit. The supportson the McCormick Quarry Bridge areseverely deteriorated, and are supplementedwith large wooden timbers to carry thebridge’s structural load.Pre-construction activities to relocate util-

ities and minor drainage work began last fall,with full construction resuming last month.Ongoing operations include excavation ofthe soil behind the bridge’s current support-ing columns to make room for the construc-tion of foundations for the new bridges.RIDOT also is making use of geosyntheticreinforced soil walls for the bridge’s abut-ments, which utilize layers of crushed stoneand reinforcing fabric to quickly assemblethe these foundation elements.In the coming weeks, motorists will see

construction begin on the supporting struc-tures for the new bridge decks, followedshortly by the delivery of large steel beamsfor the decks. Work will progress throughthe summer in completing the decks to thepoint where they can be installed using self-propelled modular transporters — multi-wheel dollies capable of lifting the bridgedecks off their temporary supports, drivingthem toward the bridge’s foundations andsetting them into place. Once installed,RIDOT will pave the bridge and approachesand open the road to traffic.For more information, visit

PROSPECT, CTTHINK SUNSHINE!!!


opening.”The project endured a lengthy review by

historic preservation authorities over theplanned demolition of downtown buildingsin the months after last year’s March 24groundbreaking.

Then MGM asked the state and city forpermission to open a year later in September2018, on account of a major interstate high-way project happening nearby that it fearedwould impact the first year of operation.

The company followed that request up byproposing cost saving design changes,including the controversial elimination of a25-story glass hotel tower (in favor of a six-story structure with the same 250 rooms) anda reduction in total square footage of thecomplex by about 10 percent.

Even with the changes, the project hasballooned from $800 million to $950 millionbecause of updated labor, material andadministrative cost estimates.

“Things happen on a complex project. Itisn’t unique,” said Michael Mathis, MGMSpringfield president. “It was less active thanwe planned. But it’s such a sprawling sitethat we were able to do some work all alongthe way.”

Since the groundbreaking, Mathis said,underground utility work has been done andmany downtown buildings have been razedor partly demolished to clear the 14.5-acredevelopment site.

Preparations are now under way for thefirst major new structure — a roughly 3,400-space parking garage.

Mathis said 700 construction workershave been employed to date. The project isrequired to provide a minimum of 2,000temporary jobs during construction and3,000 permanent ones when it opens.

But Springfield and other governmentagencies will have to wait longer for their bigpayouts.

The Las Vegas-based company is requiredto pay Springfield over $16 million beforethe casino opens and $25 million annuallythereafter.

Kennedy, of the Sarno administration,said MGM has so far met its financial obli-gations. It has paid the city about $8 millionof the pre-opening payments, as scheduled.Another $4.5 million is due later this year,and the final $4 million comes in 2017.

Massachusetts also claims a share ofannual gambling revenues, and 10 surround-ing cities and towns get more modest upfrontand annual payments from the casino.

Michael Fenton, Springfield City Councilpresident said he’ll be watching the project

isn’t “further watered down” without faircompensation to the city.

One open question, he said, is whereMGM places a promised apartment complexeliminated in the new designs. The companyhas said the roughly 50 market-rate units bebuilt within a half mile of the casino but noton site.

MGM’s involvement in the casino debatein nearby Connecticut is also worrying,

Fenton said.Connecticut lawmakers have authorized

the two tribes that separately own Foxwoodsand Mohegan Sun to seek a new site for ajointly-run casino, likely in the Hartford-areanear Springfield.

But MGM has sued in federal court, argu-ing the law violates the U.S. constitution bygiving the two tribes an unfair advantageover other would-be developers. It’s alsohelping finance another federal complaint bythe Schaghticoke Tribal Nation that makessimilar arguments.

“I have no issues with MGM trying tostop the expansion of Connecticut gaming,”Fenton said. “But if they’re teaming up withanother tribe to compete with the Springfieldcasino, I have a real big problem with that.”

Mathis declined to discuss theConnecticut lawsuits in detail.

“It has nothing to do with our day-to-dayjob here,” he said. “We’re focused on gettingthis project built. There’s a separate part ofthe company that’s pursuing opportunities inConnecticut and other parts of the countryand the rest of the world.”

Meanwhile, Wynn Resorts is hoping toopen a $1.7 billion Boston-area resort in late2018 and the Mashpee Wampanoag tribesaid it’ll break ground in April on a resortnear Cape Cod that could open as soon asnext year.

Plainridge Park, a slots parlor inPlainville, opened last summer.
