We take pride in building and maintaining close relationships with our clients while helping them achieve their goals. This is accomplished by listening to their needs, continued advancement of proficiency through planned training and development of staff and procedures, and dedicating the appropriate resources for the task at hand to provide the best and most economical service and solution available. Our approach is simple - Serve South Bend in whatever capacity is required by providing proven experience, the necessary manpower, and forward thinking solutions. Our team will be led by Project Manager, Stephan Summers.

Our past experience with nearby LaSalle and Marquette SRTS projects, including ones with many residents and business owners, as well as heavy traffic routes with extensive utility work, demonstrate that the City can have confidence in our ability to do so successfully. While the implementation of these sidewalks is a relatively simple project, it will have made a massive improvement towards increasing the safety and connectivity for the Holy Cross and Muessel neighborhood residents. Improving on connectivity, we will work with the City on tieing into the newly constructed Coal Line trail that runs northeast through the project site. SIDEWALK ASSESSMENT • Sidewalks will be at least 5’ wide. • Sidewalks will be designed to avoid existing utilities to avoid associated costs and potential utility conflicts. • Sidewalks will meet ADA requirements for slope and curb ramps at intersections. DRAINAGE ASSESSMENT: • Existing drainage will be maintained to avoid any major utility changes and associated costs. • Minor structure adjustments may be necessary near curb ramp areas. • Sufficient borrow quantities are often neglected for areas of sidewalk needing to be raised to maintain proper drainage. Borrow can also eliminate the need for return curb/block wall in certain cases. PAVEMENT ASSESSMENT: • 2’ wide HMA surface patches are often necessary in front of curb ramps and approach installations due to pavement separation at time of concrete & asphalt removal. MAINTENANCE-OF-TRAFFIC (MOT) ASSESSMENT: • Pedestrian MOT will be provided using newly constructed sidewalks along all roadways that have been identified as needing to be updated to ADA standards or have no existing walks/ramps all-together.
