ODOT Opts for New Path on Way to Repairing Roads By Linda J. Hutchinson CEG CORRESPONDENT

Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has tried something new when it comes to road repair. “Hot mix and cold patching sometimes aren’t enough to patch those pesky, re-occurring potholes. That is why ODOT District 2 has invested in the ‘hottest’ weapon to fight the ongoing battle of ODOT vs. road — the DuraPatcher,” said Theresa Pollick, ODOT District 2 public information officer. Nat Alford of Duraco Inc., of Jackson, Miss., credits DuraPatcher distributor Mark Leaders of Leader Machinery Co. LLC in Middletown, Ohio, for sales to ODOT districts 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 — which owns two. All of those purchased by ODOT are the trailer mounted machines. The city of Hilliard, Ohio, also owns a DuraPatcher. According to Alford, these are very simple machines. Duraco Inc., part of Cimline Pavement Maintenance Group, “manufactures and sells DuraPatcher trailer mounted and truck mounted units. The trailer mounted units operate with two people, one in the truck one on ground. There also is a two-person truck mounted unit. The truck mounted DuraMaxx is a one-person unit; the operator does everything from the cab of truck—it’s fully automated.” “The trailer-mounted is the biggest seller,” said Alford. “Pricing is the low to mid-$60K range.” Duraco, Inc. “also sells the DuraMaxx model with pricing in the high $100K range that includes the truck.” “We’ve been building the DuraPatcher for over 20 years in Pearl, Miss., and sell in North America and overseas. We’re the number one seller in the world of this type of machine,” said Alford Over the years they’ve improved on some small things like a larger drain port for the tank, a larger fill lid, and heat exchange efficiency, but today’s design is really close to

The purchasers of DuraPatchers are typically state DOTs, city street departments and county road departments.

where it’s been all along, according to Leaders. The DuraPatchers in the ODOT fleet use “spray injection which allows compressed air to do the job of three men,” according to the Duraco website. “Instead of men with

shovels, tampers and hot mix, the DuraPatcher system cleans the area, applies a tack coat, sprays the emulsion/aggregate mix into the pothole with sufficient see REPAIR page 6

New Four-Lane Highway 330 Interchange Opens in Ohio The final phase of the expansion of U.S. 30 between Ohio 235 and Upper Sandusky was completed when an interchange at County Highway 330 and new U.S. 30 west of Upper Sandusky opened to traffic. “There are a few signs yet to be installed and some minor pavement markings to be placed and that is all that remains to be

done,” said Tim Burkepile, Ohio Department of Transportation District 1 deputy director. Work to eliminate the last twolane segment of U.S. 30 in northwest Ohio in Hancock and Wyandot counties began in 2005. The new, four-lane highway was opened to traffic in November of last year which allowed motorists for the first time to travel four-

lane U.S. 30 from the Indiana state line to Canton. The completion of U.S. 30 through northwest Ohio marks the end of a 40-year plan to expand the route. The 26-mi., limited-access, four-lane highway was constructed on a new alignment one-half mi. south of the existing route. The project included interchanges at SR 235,

U.S. Route 68 and State Route 37 in Hancock County, and at County Road 330 in Wyandot County. Last year, transportation officials made the decision to delay the completion of the interchange at County Highway 330 in order to concentrate on getting the fourlane highway opened to traffic. “It was always our goal to open

the highway as soon as possible and we accomplished that by constructing the interchange last,” said Burkepile. “The opening of four-lane U.S. 30 could have occurred much later had we not made that decision,” he said. The $98.8 million project was constructed under a joint venture between E. S. Wagner of Oregon and Shelly Co. of Findlay.

Brown Promoted as New Deputy Top Official Breaks Director to Lead ODOT District 1 Ground on U.S. 33 Ohio Department of Transportation Director Jolene M. Molitoris Sept. 28 announced that District 1 Deputy Director Tim Burkepile has chosen to step down from his position, returning to construction management. Molitoris then named Leonard Brown, an administrator in ODOT’s District 6 office and a former official with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), as the new deputy director in the Lima office, which serves the northwestern Ohio counties of Allen, Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert and Wyandot. Burkepile has been with ODOT since 1971, serving in various technical, management and leadership roles with highway projects and district programs. He was appointed district deputy director by Gov. Strickland in 2007. He will be assuming a technical role within the department’s division of construction. “Tim’s background and experience in construction and his technical knowledge of ODOT’s field operations were tremendous assets for ODOT’s major highway corridor work in northwest Leonard Brown is the new deputy director in the Lima ODOT office.

Nelsonville Bypass

Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez joined Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and other state and local officials to kick off the U.S. 33 Nelsonville Bypass Recovery Act Project in southeast Ohio. The project is the largest investment of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) dollars in Ohio to date. “The President’s recovery plan is getting people back to work in neighborhoods across the nation, in cities large and small, and in places urban and rural,” Mendez said. “The Nelsonville Bypass is not only good for the state’s economy, it also is helping to connect communities in Ohio and West Virginia. Secretary LaHood and I know it is projects like this one that will help get the economy back on track.” Administrator Mendez added that the U.S. 33 Bypass will pay for the second and third phases of the project, which were not set to begin until 2012 and 2015 until the infusion of funding from the Recovery Act. The project involves the construction of a new 8.5 mi. (13.7 km), four-lane highway to divert freight traffic from U.S. 33, which bottlenecks in the town of Nelsonville, where U.S. 33 becomes a two-lane street from a four-lane highway. U.S. 33 currently carries more than 1,700 trucks per day between Columbus, Ohio and Charleston, W.Va., making it one of the busiest truck routes in Ohio. Of the more than $26.6 billion in ARRA highway funds available nationwide, Ohio’s share is $936.4 million. As of Sept. 28, the state has funded 202 projects totaling $457 million, with 118 projects under way. While the project was approved at $150 million, contractor bids came in below original estimates for phases one and two, bringing the cost of the project down to $138 million.

More Ohio Jobs Created, Saved by Stimulus Investments Ohio contractors on stimulus-funded transportation projects are reporting 5,444 construction and office workers received paychecks in the month of September alone, as a direct result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) reported the September job data to the Federal Highway Administration, as required under the Recovery Act. ODOT requires all contractors to complete monthly reports on the direct, on-the-project workers associated with stimulusfunded projects.

tors, ODOT is updating its recent reporting on the number of full-time equivalent jobs created or retained by the stimulus, as reported to the federal Office of Management and Budget. On Oct. 10, Ohio met the first federal reporting requirement under Section 1512 of the Recovery Act for ARRA loans, grants and contracts spending data. For the ARRA Section 1512 report, prime recipients such as ODOT have been directed to compute jobs as full-time equivalents. Therefore, if two half-time jobs are created or retained, this must be reported as one-full time job. The preliminary data submitted by ODOT showed that 304 full-time equivalent positions were directly created or

The preliminary data submitted by ODOT showed that 304 full-time equivalent positions were directly created or retained as part of the 13,144 total positions in Ohio as a result of Recovery Act funds. For the month of September, Ohio contractors reported 5,444 direct workers on stimulus-funded projects, clocking in a total of 236,270 hours on the job and earning a total payroll of $7,324,269.40. The September numbers build on reports from July showing 1,414 workers earning $1.8 million for the month and from August showing 2,247 workers earning $2.9 million for the month. This month-by-month data only includes employees (including full-time, part-time and seasonal jobs) actively engaged in stimulus-funded projects on the job site, in the project office, in the home office or other alternative office locations. This data does not include indirect jobs (jobs created by suppliers) or induced jobs (jobs created in the community as a result of a federal stimulus project). With the addition of this direct information from contrac-

retained as part of the 13,144 total positions in Ohio as a result of Recovery Act funds. This calculation did not include data from the month of September. ODOT’s updated calculation now shows that 812.42 full-time equivalent positions were created or saved on transportation stimulus construction projects through the month of September. States were able to review their submissions and make any necessary data corrections. The federal government reviewed the states’ reports and posted the final results to www.recovery.gov on Oct. 30. To date, ODOT has awarded more than $507.5 million in stimulus-funded contracts on 154 state and local projects.

Single Largest Stimulus Investment Ready to Make Impact With the awarding of $138 million in contracts to complete the U.S. Route 33 Nelsonville Bypass, the Ohio Department of Transportation’s (ODOT’s) single largest stimulus investment is ready for construction. Combined with the transportation infrastructure contracts awarded so far using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, ODOT has awarded more than $374.2 million for construction work on 110 projects — a combination of interstate, local roadway and bridge modernization projects. For the month of July alone, these investments by the state lead to the retention and creation of 1,138 direct jobs on stimulus-funded transportation construction projects, with workers clocking in more than 42,000 hours in labor and a total payroll of nearly $1.5 million. “Ohio is making historic levels of investment into every mode of our multi-modal transportation system in every region of the state,” said ODOT Director Jolene M. Molitoris. “Because of the leadership in Washington to advance the Recovery Act, ODOT is investing, overseeing, and monitoring more than $1.1 billion in transportation stimulus funds made available to our state.” Advancing the Nelsonville Bypass In late August, ODOT awarded the final of two phases of construction for the 8-mi. (12.8 km) Nelsonville Bypass project. Kokosing Construction Company was awarded the $45.2 million

contract for phase two; earlier in August Beaver Excavating Company was awarded the $92.88 million contract for phase three. Construction on phase one of the project was completed earlier this summer. The Nelsonville Bypass has been on the state’s radar since the late 1960’s, however, the 1973 Oil and Gas Embargo halted further planning due to lack of transportation funds. With funding from the Recovery Act, ODOT was able to advance construction on the historical bypass five years earlier than scheduled. With up to $150 million of stimulus funds to be invested in this project, the Nelsonville Bypass represents ODOT’s largest single investment of stimulus funds. The largest stimulus-funded project in the state is the Interstate 90 Innerbelt Bridge in Downtown Cleveland, estimated at $400 million (including $85 million in stimulus funds). ODOT estimates show that U.S. 33 carries more than 1,700 trucks daily from Columbus to Charleston, W.Va., making it the eighth busiest truck route in Ohio. U.S. 33 through Nelsonville — where it currently narrows from a four lane highway to a two-lane local roadway - carries roughly 1,500 heavy load trucks per day. The Nelsonville Bypass is the final upgrade of U.S. 33 in southeast Ohio, providing safe, efficient routes in the heart of Appalachia. Making Investments in Ohio’s Urban Areas More than 150 transportation projects have been prioritized for

stimulus funding by Ohio’s eight major Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) which were directly sub-allocated $161.5 million in transportation infrastructure stimulus funds. To date, FHWA has authorized more than $47.5 million in projects sponsored by the MPOs in Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo and Youngstown. These urban investments by the state’s largest MPOs are in addition to the nearly $420 million in stimulus-funded transportation infrastructure projects committed to by ODOT in urban areas around the state. In addition, more than $134.5 million in transit-specific stimulus funds through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) have been approved and obligated for urban transit investments across the state. These investments will assist 27 regional and local transit agencies in the purchase of new buses and equipment, construction of new facilities, and operating costs, on a limited basis. FTA also has approved and obligated ODOT’s plans for $20.6 million in stimulus-funded investments in Ohio’s rural transit agencies. With these approvals from FTA, all of Ohio’s transit systems have their entire ARRA apportionment obligated or have sufficient funds obligated that no funds will lapse. Putting Ohioans to Work To track the number of jobs being created and retained by Ohio’s stimulus investments,

ODOT requires all contractors to complete monthly reports on the direct, on-the-project jobs associated with stimulus-funded projects. For the month of July, Ohio contractors reported 1,138 direct jobs, working a total of 42,279 hours and earning a total payroll of $1,470,499. This job data only includes employees actively engaged in stimulus-funded projects on the job site, in the project office, in the home office or other alternative office locations. These numbers do not account for the thousands of jobs being created and retained by firms that provide materials and equipment used in highway construction, or those jobs supported by consumer expenditures resulting from wages to “construction oriented” and “supporting industries” employees. The monthly employment report for August will be available in mid-September. Investing in More Construction-Related Jobs As part of ODOT’s original announcement of the projects to be advanced with ARRA funds, the department targeted $57 million for necessary planning and design work to advance some of the state’s most transformational regional long-term projects. After close consultation with the Federal Highway Administration and the US Department of Transportation, ODOT instead directed those dollars to shorterterm projects, aimed at creating and retaining construction-related jobs quickly. By selecting projects in which future state funding had

already identified, ODOT is able to reinvest, dollar-for-dollar, in the continued planning and design of those regional projects, including the Cleveland Opportunity Corridor, Cincinnati Eastern Corridor, and the Ohio Hub High Speed Rail Plan. As announced in June, a majority of the $57 million of ARRA stimulus funding was invested in nine state roadway and bridge projects. The remaining resources will be dedicated to six pavement modernization projects, which were previously identified for state funding. Those existing ODOT projects include: • Brown County/State Route 32 pavement modernization — $4,989,548 • Fayette County/State Route 41 pavement modernization — $1,479,000 • Noble County/State Route 145 pavement modernization — $3,300,000 • Fairfield County/State Route 204 pavement modernization — $1,968,349 • Sandusky County/State Routes 600/300 pavement modernization — $4,000,000 • Wood County/State Route 582 pavement modernization — $1,500,000 An up-to-date list of the transportation infrastructure projects prioritized for stimulus funding — with updates on projects which have been authorized by FHWA, contracts which have been awarded, and new employment opportunities — can be found online at: www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/Co mmunications/Pages/FederalStim ulusProjectListing.aspx.

Ohio, Indiana Celebrate Improved Fort to Port Corridor Standing along the OhioIndiana state line, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland joined Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels to officially open the latest stretches of the U.S. Route 24 Fort to Port project, connecting Fort Wayne, Ind., with the Port of Toledo. With 23 mi. of new roadway open, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is now more than halfway complete with the $402 million modernization and expansion of U.S. 24, stretching from the state line just outside

of Antwerp to Interstate 475 near Toledo. The Indiana Department of Transportation also has completed the first 3-mi. stretch of new highway, part of Indiana’s $107 million commitment to expand and reconstruct 11.5 mi. west of the state line to Interstate 469 just east of Fort Wayne. “We are modernizing this highway not only to create a safer route of travel between these two cities, but also to establish a multi-modal corridor where goods can move

efficiently,” said Strickland. “The need for Ohio and Indiana to be strong partners in transportation has never been greater. These projects are key pieces in linking and strengthening the economies of both states.” In Northwest Ohio, U.S. 24 has become a critical shipping route with trucks representing a third of the overall traffic. By expanding the highway to four lanes, ODOT hopes to alleviate safety concerns about the mixture of truck traffic and residential travel along the for-

mer two-lane, rural highway. “For our businesses and our citizens, the driving distance from Fort Wayne to the Port Toledo will be safer and more efficient, starting today,” said ODOT Director Jolene M. Molitoris, who was joined at the ribbon-cutting event by Ohio House of Representative Speaker Pro Tem Matt Szollosi, state Rep. Peter Ujvagi, and state Sen. Steve Buehrer. “With these new and expanded sections of U.S. 24 now completed, our focus will continue on the

completion of the final ‘Fort to Port’ projects from the city of Napoleon to Toledo,” added Molitoris. Approximately 58 mi. of U.S. 24 in Ohio is being reconstructed. In addition to the sections of new highway which were opened Oct. 29, two additional sections between Defiance and Napoleon were opened to traffic last year. Construction from Napoleon to the Port of Toledo is under way and is expected to be completed in 2012.

District 10 Awarded More Than $150M in Stimulus Projects Statewide, ODOT has received $774 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) transportation dollars. Of the $774 million, District 10 received more than $166 million. While $150 million of the ARRA funds are for construction of Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Nelsonville Bypass, $16 million has been designated for 14 other infrastructure enhancement and modernization projects. As of Aug. 31, more than $150.8 million has been awarded to 13 of the 16 stimulus funded projects, including Phase 3 of the Nelsonville Bypass which was awarded to Beaver Excavating for $92.88 million, and most recently Phase 2 of the Nelsonville Bypass which was awarded to Kokosing Construction Company for $45.2 million. “We are excited about the stimulus funding and proud that our staff was able to accommodate such an accelerat-

ed schedule,” explained Debbie Fought, District 10 planning administrator. Most recently, two more local projects broke ground — County Road 3 modernization in Gallia County and the modernization of three bridges in Morgan County. “It is great to see federal stimulus funds invested in improving safety at the local level,” said Larry Woodford, District 10 deputy director. “Thanks to Governor Strickland’s support of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, small towns with neglected infrastructure will finally get the needed safety upgrades.” The $400,000 County Road 3 project in Gallia County is a 5-mi. (8 km) infrastructure modernization project designed to increase roadway strength and improve drainage and pavement longevity. “Three of the most deficient roadway sections in Gallia

County will now have a smooth wearing surface,” confirmed Brett Boothe, Gallia County engineer. “Everyone on my staff has excelled in bringing our share of the stimulus funds back to Gallia County.” The $90,114 bridge project in Morgan County focuses on maintenance and modernization of three county bridges. One bridge has already received its upgrade while construction on the other two bridges should begin shortly. “This stimulus project will extend the life of our local bridges and save the county thousands of dollars in the long run,” stated Steven Hook, Morgan County engineer. “We are grateful for the stimulus investment and are excited to provide safe infrastructure for all motorists traveling through Morgan County.” For more information, visit www.dot.state.oh.us/districts/D10/Stimulus.
