NewEngland #7,2013

By Jay AdamsCEG CORRESPONDENT

They didn’t have to findNemo. Nemo found them.Hundreds, if not thou-

sands, of contractors weretemporarily hired by stateDOTs and municipalities asprivate vendors in the statesof Connecticut, RhodeIsland and Massachusetts,among other New Englandstates, to dig out from theworst single snowstorm tohit the area in 40 years.During the 30 or so hours

that the storm raged overFeb. 8 and 9, pay loaders,dump trucks, front loadersand other snow-clearingvehicles were comman-deered by the hardest-hitcities and states on tempo-rary contracts to remove thesnow that in some areascame in record-breakingamounts.Governors imposed driv-

ing bans for two days and theonly vehicles allowed onroads were those sportingplows. Commuter trafficwas ordered stalled in orderthat the plows and otherheavy iron could drive snowoff highways to clear paths for emergency vehicles, police,fire, ambulance and especially power companies to restoreenergy to hundreds of thousands of New Englanders wholost it; some — like in Marion, Mass. and the Cape — for upto six days.DOTS and state governments were lauded, for the most

part, for their plowing plans which worked quickly, due inlarge part to the hard work of the private vendors who wereregular guys with plows.

40-Plus Inches of Snow

While thousands of NewEngland towns and citieswere buried, Hamden,Conn., was one of the hard-est hit in the blizzard of2013, seeing an astonishing40-plus inches of snow.Hamden also is the townSweeney Excavation Inc.has been headquartered for26-plus years. Sweeney wasready.“Immediately following

the storm, we placed fourpay loaders with the town ofHamden and soon after dis-patched two tri-axle dumptrucks to assist with movingthe snow from the streets tothe parks throughout thetown where we piled thesnow,” said Bob Sweeney,owner of SweeneyExcavation. “These loca-tions became known assnow farms.” Hamden collectively

hired 30 to 40 pay loadersfrom private contractors andreceived additional assis-tance from the NationalGuard. “The first task after the

storm was to simply open allroads in town to allow two-way traffic. Once done, the roadswere then opened up from curb to curb, which exposeddrainage structures and allowed melting snow to run off intodrainage systems,” added Sweeney. “Where snow needed tobe removed to accomplish this, it was loaded onto dumptrucks and taken to the snow farms. “Our loaders and trucks worked 24-hour cycles starting on

Feb. 11 and ending at noon on Feb. 17. Collectively, we

worked approximately 1,000-man hoursin that time span not including the hoursworked by managers, fuelers and mechan-ics,” said Sweeney.

The largest challenges vendors likeSweeney faced included getting operatorsplugged into shifts to allow for 24-hour,round-the-clock service to which privatevendors are not accustomed.

“We kept the loaders out moving on theroads. Each new crew of operators report-ed to our shop, we drove those operatorsto the pay loaders to swap out with theprevious shift and then drove that off-dutycrew back to our shop. We had staff tocycle to every loader to deliver fuel andgrease every eight hours,” he said. “Eachloader had three eight-hour shifts; there-fore, we had 12 operators for four payloaders. Tri-axles worked two 12-hourshifts, so we had four drivers for twodump trucks. We had one supervisor and one mechanic/fuel-er on every eight-hour shift. Therefore, it took 22 people tocomplete one 24-hour day,” he added.

Other Blizzard ChallengesCommunication also was a challenge. Officials in towns

like Hamden were trying to direct this large workforce to allsections of their communities, but they were not able to eas-

ily speak with the 40 private pay loader operators. Evenmore challenging was that a large majority of Hamden’shired contractors were from out of town and even out ofstate.

“These operators did not know the streets or how to get[to] the streets at which they were needed,” said Sweeney.

After some initial clearing to get major roads opened, thetown made a decision to send two loaders with each of their

plow trucks to the specified routes that the local plow truckdrivers knew very well. Plow truck drivers would then directthe loaders under their supervision. They were in constantcommunication with the Hamden Public Works main officeto monitor progress, setbacks and challenges.

“Personally, I found this to be a great solution to the prob-lems the town was facing at that point. Hamden has somegreat representation in Public Works, employees such asMike Siciliano, David Lockery and Joe Callella. These threesupervisors, as well as the countless town-employed driversand operators, really made a Herculean effort and rose to thechallenges in front of them, during some extremely difficultand stressful moments,” said Sweeney.

Little Rhody, Big StormRhode Island employed 400 private vendors during

Nemo, joining 150 state employees working the roads andhighways. The state used 100 DOT plow trucks, five loadersand other vehicles at 21 snow stockpile sites that wereopened to accommodate the untold tons of cleared snow.

The stockpiles were located in the state’s seven mainte-nance districts — Northwest, Providence, Bristol, Newport,Kent, Washington North and Washington South.

“There were other vendors [hired], also,” said HeidiGudmunson of the RIDOT Communications division. “Wehad a heavy tow plan in place, meaning four tractor trailer-sized tow trucks [otherwise known as heavy wreckers] werepositioned around the state readily available to help, as need-ed. We also had tree trimming vendors mobilized throughoutthe storm, to clear the way for plows etc., as necessary.

“The state DOT also had four front-end loaders to help digout emergency shelters, park and ride [bus stops], highwaydrifts, etc.,” added Gudmunson.

RIDOT Deploys 3,300 Tons of Sand, 15,000 Tons of SaltThough the smallest state in the

nation, RIDOT deployed some3,300 tons (2,994 t) of sand, alongwith 15,000 tons (13,608 t) of salton the approximately 1,100 linearmi. (1,770 km) or 3,300 lane mi.(5,310 km) of highways that weremaintained during Nemo.The traffic-free roads, mandated

by Gov. Lincoln Chaffee, made thedifference. “The highway restrictions

imposed by the Governor helped,as it enabled our plows get aroundduring the height of the stormwithout the obstacles of passengervehicles and trucks,” Gudmunsonsaid. “Other technologies, such asthe salt brine we used, enabled usto keep the roads cleared faster, aswe didn’t have snow and ice bond-ing to the highways. In addition,having access to the larger equip-ment certainly helped as this wasan extremely powerful storm, withhuge amounts of snow that neededto be moved in order to keep ourhighways clear.”When asked for a list of ven-

dors, or any that deserved specialmention, RIDOT instead praisedthe collective.“Certainly being able to supple-

ment the RIDOT crews with pri-vate vendors was an important partof our overall success in this storm.As you can imagine, with such alarge group of vendors we don’twant to leave anyone out. They allpitched in and responded to the callwhen needed,” said Joseph Baker,administrator of highways andbridges at RIDOT.“The most important thing I can

tell you, however, is that the prideand hard work of our maintenanceemployees should be commend-ed,” added Gudmunson. “Theygave it their all to keep up with thestorm and keep us safe. They aretruly unsung heroes.”

In Massachusetts the CallWent Out

In Massachusetts, when a bliz-zard or major storm hits, a call goesout for assistance from MassDOT. “Typically,” said Michael

Verseckes, head of MassDOT’s

communications office, “Privatecontractors have approximately anhour and 15 minutes to respond.Most respond within a much short-er timeframe than that.”“Between 10 p.m. on Feb. 8 and

4 a.m. on Feb. 9, MassDOT hadapproximately 3,625 pieces ofequipment deployed around thestate. MassDOT has roughly 400pieces of equipment in-house, andaccess to 4,000 pieces of hiredequipment,” Verseckes added.Statewide, MassDOT is respon-

sible for more than 3,000 mi.(4,828 km) of roadway, translatinginto 15,200 lane mi. (24,462 km). “This winter, there have been 12

other storms — most outside of theBoston area — that have requiredsignificant amounts of coordina-tion and effort to clear roads,” saidVerseckes. “Our snow fightingefforts rely heavily on effectivecommunications, and duringstorms that is managed in ourHighway Operations Center(HOC) in South Boston.” HOC staff has access to more

than 850 roadway and security

cameras to detect and monitor traf-fic conditions and crashes. Ininstances of heavy traffic conges-tion or impending weather, theHOC can program approximately400 message boards around theCommonwealth to inform or warndrivers of hazards that are specificto one region or is applicablestatewide. “A travel ban was implemented

that was an effective means todrive home the point that the stormof Feb. 8 and 9 was serious. It alsohelped remind folks that we weregoing to have a continuous around-the-clock effort to keep up with theaccumulation, which would beimproved by having the roads clearof most other vehicular traffic,”said Verseckes.“Subsequent to Feb. 8, we had

crews out around the state continu-ing to clear road shoulders andbreakdown lanes, and in somecases, going over the right travellanes where needed. We had per-sonnel addressing areas where thesnow melt [caused by subsequentrain] may have turned to ice

overnight — with a particularfocus on our on-and-off-ramps,”said Verseckes. The travel ban in both

Massachusetts and Rhode Islandexcluded public safety vehiclesand workers, including contractpersonnel, public works vehicles,contracted vendor vehicles, gov-ernment officials, utility companyvehicles, health care workers andthe news media.

Early Sign Ups for VendorsIn Rhode Island and some other

states, vendors get extra bonusesfor so-called “green” equipmentand accessories which improvestate fuel costs. They also get anearly sign-up bonus, if their equip-ment completes the state registra-tion process by Oct. 26 in prepara-tion for winter storms.Rhode Island also is innovative

in another way, using special roadsalt brine that has greatly improvedhow state roads are treated bothbefore and after snowstorms.This brine, which is much

Workers Apply Salt Brine DaysBefore Storm to Bond to Roadsstronger that traditional sand or salt mixtures,has allowed the budget-strapped state to cutback on spreading sand to reduce snow andice on its 1,100 mi. of roads.

During Nemo, and other potent storms,the salt brine was applied two days beforethe storm, leaving a chalky coat that bondswith the roadway after the water evaporates.Sand reduction also means less clogging ofstorm drains and less sediment in rivers andstreams.

It is only a pre-treatment. Traditional saltand sand are still applied in storms.

Such innovations speak to the dilemmasof time and cost facing municipalities whena storm like Nemo shuts them down with nopower or travel for days.

“Our challenges [plowing roads] weresmall compared to that of the leaders of thetown of Hamden as well as many othermunicipalities who had similar challenges,”said Sweeney. “It was eye opening to spendsome time observing the challenges from theinside of this response effort and, at the sametime, listening to a percentage of the publiccriticizing the efforts of these people tryingto help them.

“Some of these people criticized throughtelevision and newspaper and websites;some people griped to all that would listen inthe local coffee shops and some people tooktheir frustrations out on the actual equipmentoperators as they cleared snow in front oftheir homes,” he added. “As a private con-tractor, I am not accustomed to this unedu-cated and uninformed criticism. It was not allnegative and I would be remiss if I did notacknowledge a very large percentage ofwonderful residents who were quite positivealong the routes and were quick to provideour operators with food, a hot cup of coffeeand a kind word or a thank you along theway.”

Sweeney added, “As a lifelong resident ofthe town of Hamden, I would like to say itwas a pleasure to work with this group, andcongratulations to all involved, from theMayor, to the Public Works Department tothe fire department to the police departmenton getting the cleanup completed. Great jobto all.”
