CITY OF SOUTH BEND OLIVE STREET ROAD RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH e �Y e,� ria Y f N a r r< +: y dh'R�,ar� ,N, ,,�V �pI;Cftdb �;m'u��G',-"a.� ar"'�`�:: Y�'f This is a heavy haul route within the City of South Bend and will be reconstructed with concrete pavement. The road- way will be constructed to include one lane of traffic in each direction with a two-way center turn lane. New storm sewer will be installed as well. As with most construction projects, utility coordination will play a major role in the success of the overall project schedule. We are committed to leading the coordination effort so that utilities are relocated quickly and efficiently to minimize conflicts. Our dedicated and local project manager, Scott Randle personally knows individuals from most area utility companies, having built relationships while working on previous projects. These relationships, as well as those with potential contractors and subcontractors, are key to leading coordination efforts across all utilities involved. Maintenance of traffic will be a very important aspect of this project. We will work diligently with the contractor and subcontractors to implement the most thorough maintenance -of -traffic plan possible. We will also maintain a close watch on traffic patterns during construction to ensure quick reaction to any issues with the overall traffic flow, as well as working with the contractor to develop specific plan changes to fit the unique characteristics of the contractor's planned means and methods. Any necessary changes will be implemented quickly and will adhere to all applicable traffic control guidelines. Contract R-37495 is currently scheduled for an INDOT letting on November 10, 2020. It is anticipated the construc- tion duration will last through the 2021 construction season. American Structurepoint has visited the project site and reviewed details of the project.
