PAGE 10 <br />APPROACH <br />PAGE 10 OUR LADY OF HUNGARY NEIGHBORHOOD SRTS <br />SURVEY <br />A location control route survey will identify <br />the Right of Way limits and alignments for the <br />required sidewalk improvements. A topographic <br />survey will provide the information needed for <br />proper design of the sidewalk, grading, utilities, <br />and context of existing infrastructure. <br />UTILITY COORDINATION <br />• On this project, the Troyer Group will look to <br />coordinate potential upgrades and infrastructure <br />maintenance needs with the various utilities in an <br />effort to minimize future construction impacts on <br />the community and the environment (see above). <br />ADA COMPLIANCE <br />• We will meet the newly updated INDOT standards <br />and Public ROW Accessibility Guidelines for curb <br />ramps on design plans. Troyer Group has vast <br />experience with curb ramp design and consistently <br />coordinates with INDOT about plan documents <br />meeting required ADA standards. <br />QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL <br />• Troyer Group uses a QA/QC checklist thoughout <br />each project to ensure the quality of our design <br />and construction documents. Our QA/QC process <br />serves the design team and the City of South Bend <br />by limiting unnecessary changes and budget <br />overruns. <br />ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS <br />• A walk through with the City will be necessary to <br />confirm begin and end points of existing sidewalks <br />and to schedule a list of priority areas in order to <br />maximize funding utilization. <br />• Conforming to INDOT standards, pedestrian <br />detours will need to be developed and shown on <br />plans. <br />• Signs and crosswalk markings will be included <br />where INDOT and City standards require them. <br />Survey Points required to compute slope of curb ramps and to allow for design of ADA curb ramps per INDOT guidelines <br />Survey Points required for tie-ins to existing sidewalk <br />Survey Points required for tie-ins at service walks and approaches <br />DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE <br />Our managers also work as designers on multi-use trail, <br />storm sewer, roadway and signalization projects. <br />• An enhanced perspective comes with working on <br />projects from many different angles, which allows <br />us to make every decision with the success of the <br />overall project in mind. <br />• We use this understanding to be proactive instead <br />of reactive. <br />• Our awareness of all stakeholders involved in a <br />project allows our designers to not only respect <br />the chain of command in decision-making and <br />notification, but motivates the process by going <br />above and beyond in providing pertinent <br />project updates to all affected parties. <br />• An understanding of INDOT policy, procedure, <br />and organization through a multitude of different <br />projects allows us to efficiently meet all project <br />requirements. We have: <br />• Extensive experience interpreting and <br />enforcing INDOT standards and specifications <br />• An understanding of the project from the <br />City’s perspective. All of our decisions are <br />based upon building the project on time, on <br />budget, to specifications, in line with local <br />aesthetics, and with little inconvenience to the <br />traveling public. <br />• An extensive municipal construction <br />experience that guarantees an optimum <br />buildable project that streamlines the <br />construction process.
