City of South Bend | Olive Street Phase 2 Road Improvements | Construction Inspection Services | 5 <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br />DLZ understands, per the Request for Proposal, that <br />Construction Inspection services are needed for the <br />Olive Street Phase 2 Road Improvements Project. The <br />project, INDOT Contract R-43125, is currently set for a <br />March 2022 letting, but may move up to January 2022. <br />The project involves construction of a three-lane road <br />and an 8’ multi-use path between Tucker Drive and <br />Indiana Court. A Norfolk Southern Railroad Crossing <br />is located within the project limits. Per the plans, <br />a paving exception will exist at the crossing. From <br />discussions with Leslie Biek, Norfolk Southern will be <br />redoing the crossing during the project, which includes <br />new crossing gates. <br />We understand that this is Phase 2 of a multi-phase <br />project. The existing pavement on Olive Street is an <br />asphalt roadway. The proposed pavement section <br />included in the project is 10-inches of PCCP, on <br />6-inches of compacted aggregate. A new concrete <br />center curb will be constructed at the Norfolk <br />Southern crossing. New storm inlets will be installed <br />to help with drainage, along with integral concrete <br />curb. The proposed multi-use path will be an 8-foot- <br />wide, but will transition to 5-foot and tie into the <br />existing sidewalk at the north end of the project. <br />There is currently no sidewalk crossing the tracks. <br />During construction, Olive Street will be closed to <br />traffic within the project limits. Due to the closure, the <br />proposed detour truck route will be lengthy. <br />Looking South on Olive Street at tie-in with <br />Phase 1 Construction <br />TUCKER DRIVE <br />INDIANA COURT OLIVE STREETN <br />Existing Norfolk Southern Crossing <br />PHASE I <br />(Currently Under Construction) <br />INDIANA AVENUE <br />PHASE 2
