Local LFA Team 100% Committed To Providing Construction Services That Will Successfully <br />Deliver Your Project. <br />A Veteran Staff That Has Supervised Multiple Significant Projects. <br />POT" UNDERSTANDING <br />The Bendix Drive Reconstruction Project is funded with <br />Federal dollars and a local 20% match with the purpose of <br />reducing overall pavement width, correcting geometric con- <br />ditions at Nimtz Parkway, addressing drainage and providing <br />safe pedestrian access. The project has a projected construction <br />estimate of $4,300,000 with an anticipated August 2019 let- <br />ting date and a completion date of November 2020. Through a <br />meeting with the City on December 3rd, a site visit and review <br />of the most recently available plans, LFA has a clear under- <br />standing of the critical project elements that will allow us to <br />achieve a successful construction project for the City of South <br />Bend, residents, surrounding industries, and traveling public. <br />The major project elements include construction of a 3-lane <br />concrete section with 11-ft travel lanes and a 12-ft center left <br />turn lane, concrete curb, 8-ft concrete multi -use path, and <br />storm sewer improvements. Additional project elements in- <br />clude adjustments to existing signals, road approach improve- <br />ments, and pavement markings. <br />UTILITY COORDINATION <br />There are several utilities within the project limits. These ex- <br />isting utilities include AEP overhead electric poles, AT&T fiber <br />and telephone, NIPSCO gas, MetroNet, Century Link, Comcast, <br />and City Water and Sanitary. Utility relocation is common in <br />roadway reconstruction projects. The chosen design solution has <br />reduced these impacts to the north-sIre- <br />location <br />running 12-inch NIPSCO gas mai <br />throughout project limits. <br />As discussed with the City, an <br />early or frontloaded utility relo- <br />cation phase is not currently pro- <br />grammed for the project but is <br />being considered to ensure the utility schedule does not delay the project. Therefore, actively <br />managing the gas main relocation once the project is let will be <br />a critical component for successful completion. Verification of <br />the relocated gas main and timelines for completion of relocation <br />will be points of emphasis during the early stages of the project. <br />-e- <br />g- <br />!ct <br />
