City of South Bend | Coal Line Trail (Phase I) | Construction Engineering Services | 6 <br />SITE CONSIDERATIONS <br />View Looking South at Businesses Along Wilbur Street <br />Challenge <br />Phase I of the Coal Line Trail includes businesses on Wilbur Street that will be impacted by the <br />construction operations. DLZ expects there to be questions and concerns from the businesses as <br />well as the traveling public and residents during construction of this project. <br />Solution <br />DLZ knows that the City of South Bend is our most important stakeholder on this project, and we <br />will coordinate with you and other stakeholders based on a plan that includes and is approved by <br />the City. However, our overall goal is to be your least concern and work directly with the contractor <br />and stakeholders to communicate the important messages seamlessly. Steve Menis has excellent <br />communication skills as demonstrated on previous difficult projects. He will use these skills to build <br />a solid line of communication between the contractor, inspection team and the City. Steve <br />will hold regular progress meetings with you, as your schedule allows, and will keep you up to date <br />and informed as the project progresses. <br />WE KNOW <br />THE AREA <br />After a recent site visit, combined <br />with our past experience on INDOT- <br />LPA trail projects, we thoroughly <br />understand the requirements of this <br />project and the City’s expectations. <br />Our experience on projects like this <br />tells us that the “best laid plans <br />often go awry.” Even with the most <br />thorough project planning and <br />scrutinized design, existing conditions <br />can create issues that need to be <br />properly addressed by an experienced <br />project team in a proactive manner. <br />The following are some key elements <br />that we have identified. <br />COMMUNICATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS
