Ranger Building $33.6 Million I-95 Design-Build Project In North Florida
(3rd Quarter 2002)
Ranger Construction has begun construction on a $33.6 million contract its largest to date for 13.3 miles of work on I-95 just south of St. Augustine in St. Johns County.
The FDOT project was bid as a design-build contract, an increasingly popular choice for public-sector work due to the accelerated production schedules.
The contract allows just 440 days, including design work, for a broad scope of work which includes milling and resurfacing the existing two lanes and constructing a new third lane in each direction.
Also included is a 10-foot inside shoulder, milling and resurfacing the existing outside shoulders, milling and resurfacing two rest areas along the route, plus digging 13 retention ponds and making substantial improvements to the median drainage.
Substantial improvements to two cross roads are included as well. US-1 will be milled and resurfaced where it passes underneath I-95 on the south end of the job. Seven miles to the north,
SR-206 will be completely reconstructed one foot lower in grade where it passes below the interstate, to comply with federal bridge height guidelines.
The project involves Superpave specifications and will be governed by QC2000 construction standards, which the FDOT has mandated for all new
projects awarded after July 1. These standards transfer responsibility for grading and asphalt testing to the contractor and require greater consistency on asphalt compaction results.
Overseeing the project are Foremen Randy Bartlett and Mike Cutlip, Project Manager Ponch Frank, Area Manager Pete Scholer and Vice President Mark Veillette. Jacobs Civil is performing the design work.
Ranger Golf Begins Canyon Trails, Quarry Addition
(3rd Quarter 2002)
Ranger Golf has begun work on Canyon Trails Golf Club, a turn-key golf course construction project in Sunland, California, just north of Burbank. Canyon Trails is a high-end, 18-hole public golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus Design.
In selecting Ranger as the builder, course owner Cosmo World Golf acknowledged not only the competitive bid, but also the impressive portfolio of high-quality golf course construction projects Ranger Golf has successfully completed over the years.
Ranger is scheduled to finish the daily-fee course by next August, making the course ready for play by next November.
Ranger also has been selected to build an additional nine holes at The Quarry, one of the most exclusive golf courses in southern California. Tom Fazio Design drafted the nine-hole expansion, which will give the course a total of 27 holes, for three different combinations of 18-hole play.
The Quarry, managed by Winchester Development, is located just south of Palm Springs in La Quinta. The work is scheduled to be finished by next April.
In other Golf news, Ranger is making good progress on Silver Creek, an 18-hole golf course being built in San Jose, CA. In Henderson, Nevada, crews are remodeling two golf courses, Anthem Country Club and Revere Country Club, for Del Web Corporation/Troon Golf.
