The Maine Department of Transportation has slashed more than $fifty nine million in avenue and bridge projects from its annual work plan which will stay within price range amid sharply growing construction prices.

The department Thursday said it rejected a bid for paving and protection enhancements on Interstate 295 thru Portland and canceled 11 other planned construction initiatives. Last week, it rejected bids for 3 plans after receiving bids from contractors that had been as a minimum forty percent greater than what the company had anticipated the tasks would fee.

Overall, the cuts represent 15 percent of the department’s $393 million annual highway preservation finances.

Canceled initiatives had been decided on based on protection and user influences, toll road priority, bodily situation, the extent of bid overages and absence of bidding competition. Since the branch began marketing tasks for the 12 months, bids for nation highway paintings have are available 30 percent better on common than budgeted.

“If you requested me to lower back in January if I might have been talking about canceling quite a few paintings, I would have said no,” Transportation Commissioner Bruce Van Note said. The nation built a 10 percent cushion on its estimates this 12 months to cowl expected will increase.

 

 

“We hate doing this, however, there is, in reality, no preference,” Van Note stated of the cuts. “We want to be very dependable and a part of this is whilst something isn’t adding up and not running, you are making a correction.”

Nationwide, production fees hit a ten-year high remaining yr, driven up by using a scarcity of skilled labor and high substances prices. Highway creation expenses rose almost 13 percentage in 2018, in line with the Federal Highway Administration.

In southern Maine, the problem is exacerbated by an acute exertions shortage and a surplus of work, which includes personal construction and fundamental motorway tasks from the Maine Turnpike Authority.

In effect, the Maine DOT has been priced out of the neighborhood creation market.

PRESERVING PUBLIC SAFETY

The nation budgeted $9.8 million for paintings on a heavily traveled stretch of I-295 between South Portland and Falmouth. Pike Industries turned into the handiest corporation that bid at the settlement, for $19.4 million – nearly double what the state predicted it’d price.

In overall, the state plans to cancel $59.2 million well worth of work. Most of the paintings might be moved into the subsequent yr’s paintings plan, but nothing is guaranteed, Van Note said. If the department keeps seeing spiking prices, it may reject more bids or cancel different paintings, he said.

Half the canceled projects are bridge replacements. The Department of Transportation prioritized bridge substitute and renovation in the beyond 10 years to deal with the kingdom’s getting older and deteriorating inventory of more than 2,700 bridges statewide. Much of the last costly work the department had to market it this yr turned into for bridges, Van Note stated.

Canceled bridge replacements include a $6.2 million plan for an Interstate ninety-five bridge on Ohio Street in Bangor; an $eleven.9 million assignment on Interstate 395 in Brewer; and a $1.7 million bridge over Taylor Brook in Auburn. None of those bridges has on the spot protection troubles, in line with an evaluation of 2018 kingdom bridge reports.

“We wouldn’t cancel anything that is required to hold public protection,” Van Note said.

Planned avenue reconstruction on Trafton Road in Waterville, Route 1 in Van Buren and Route 6 in Abbot also is off the desk and so is a $four hundred,000 repaving plan on India Street in Portland.

Waterville City Manager Michael Roy said he become notified Thursday about the Trafton Road mission, which could include widening and leveling the street, and enhancing drainage.

“It, of route, may be very disappointing, but we’ve every motive to agree with DOT is going to hold this undertaking better on their list,” he said, “and we genuinely understand what expenses have achieved to them due to the fact we’re starting to see a number of those worries approximately pricing locally.”

Roy stated the metropolis’s share of the approximate $2 million projects is $500,000.

In a meeting with Maine transportation officers last week, greater than two dozen executives from the state’s largest creation groups stated that labor expenses were the number one reason for soaring production costs.

But scheduling conflicts, inflexible creation closing dates and paintings hour regulations, and a dual carriageway investment deficit are making the hard work shortage even harder to cope with, corporations stated.

Since most roadwork is accomplished inside the summer, peak tour time on Maine roads, nation contracts occasionally require night work or other measures to maintain traffic flowing. But locating enough humans inclined work at night time is tough and high-priced, said Matt Marks, president, and CEO of Associated General Contractors of Maine.

“Maine has been very lucky in that traveling inside the last few years you don’t get a variety of delays even in construction,” Marks stated. “We exit of our way to ensure it does not impact visitors flows – that could be a value.”

Van Note doubts paintings restrictions are the number one value motive force, however, said the branch may additionally need to revisit some of its rules if it guidelines the balance lower back to low fees.

Another contributing element is an abundance of different infrastructure tasks. In addition to booming non-public development within the Portland vicinity, the Maine Turnpike Authority has an uncommon quantity of production work this year. That work includes a $39.5 million toll sales space substitute in York and toll road bridge replacements to make room for a multiyear turnpike widening through Portland. Those jobs sucked numerous employees far from dual carriageway paintings in southern Maine, Peter Mills, the turnpike authority’s govt director, stated in an interview remaining week.
