Fluor's Solution
The Fluor-led LLC, Connect 202 Partners, is a design-build and
maintenance partnership comprised of Fluor Enterprises Inc., Granite
Construction Co., Ames Construction Inc., Parsons Brinckerho Inc. as
the lead designer, and Fluor and DBi Services, LLC, providing the long-
term maintenance. ADOT funded the project's capital costs with a
combination of available public funds from sales tax revenues and tax-
exempt bonds. Fluor booked the project in the rst quarter of 2016.
Freeway construction began September 2016 with crews widening the
shoulders and extending the existing Loop 202 high-occupancy
vehicle lanes from Pecos Road near 48th Street to the I-10/Loop 202
interchange. This initial phase was completed prior to mainline freeway
construction, which began in early 2017.
Over 1,400 construction workers were on site at peak, approximately
500 of which were self-perform LLC employees. The team conducted
extensive safety training for all project employees, and the project
achieved more than 5.5 million work hours without a lost-time incident.
Fluor o ces in Aliso Viejo, California; Dallas, Texas; and Greenville, South
Carolina supported the project.
The LLC self-performed earthwork, drainage, bridge construction, and
asphalt paving, and managed the other aspects of the project
including noise walls, overhead signage and intelligent transportation
system infrastructure for this project.
Conclusion
A Fluor-led LLC was chosen by ADOT to provide design, construction
and maintenance services for the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway.
This is the largest highway project in Arizona's history.

Fluor managed over 120 subcontractors, including small, local and
disadvantaged business enterprises supporting the project through
design and engineering support, tra c control, security, hauling
services, demolition, clearing operations, landscaping and other scopes
of work as outlined by the contract with ADOT. A series of public
outreach meetings were held along the corridor to obtain feedback
and garner public support for the project. The project also allowed for
extensive rst responder and military training in abandoned
commercial and residential buildings purchased by ADOT that will be
demolished by the Fluor-led joint venture.
In November 2018, Connect 202 Partners was named as part of the
esteemed Arizona Million Dollar Circle of Excellence (MDCE). The
Arizona MDCE recognizes businesses that lead the way in supplier
diversity in the state of Arizona by spending more than $1 million
annually with women and minority business enterprises.
Fluor-DBi's maintenance personnel were actively involved with the
design and construction teams to optimize the design while reducing
the long-term maintenance costs on the project. Fluor and DBi
Services, LLC, will maintain the lanes for 30 years with oversight from
ADOT.
Construction began in 2016, and the project o cially opened to tra c
