CITY OF SOUTH BEND CE SERVICES: COAL LINE TRAIL PHASE IIB DES #2200199 10 <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH <br />Coming together is the beginning. Staying together is progress. Working together is success. <br />SUCCESS: <br />MORE THAN A COMPLETED PROJECT <br />A&Z knows that for a project to truly be a success, clients deserve more than to see a project completed; they need to have a positive experience. This is our recipe for success. <br />Coal Line Trail Phase IIB consists of converting an abandoned railroad into a multi-use path. In this phase we will provide CE services to <br />rehabilitate an existing railroad bridge over the St. Joseph River and construct a plaza on the West Bank connecting the Coal Line Trail to <br />Riverside Trail. The completed project should include amenities like benches, lighting, trash receptacles, bike racks, and bollards for residents’ <br />safety and convenience. <br />A&Z prides itself on not only communicating clearly but listening intently to the needs and wants of stakeholders. Often overlooked, <br />listening is a key part to ensuring a productive, collaborative relationship. During our initial conference, clients should expect to be heard. <br />Throughout the project, A&Z provides multiple opportunities for stakeholders to be updated on progress and to express concerns or pose <br />questions. Communication is a two-way street that A&Z keeps open because we know it is the key to success. <br />Like all RPRs and Inspectors, A&Z trains staff to ensure that structures meet all specifications. Starting with the initial site visits –even before <br />the pre-construction walkthrough, A&Z will be on the lookout for potential obstacles to a project. In doing this, we are often able to save time <br />and money by identifying and solving complications early. <br />A&Z goes one step further by including RPRs and Inspectors in Stage 3 design walkthroughs. This puts them in the unique position to have <br />knowledge of the intent behind design. <br />At the end of the day,the residents of the City of South Bend deserve the safe,beautiful trail they’ve been promised.In their extensive experience <br />with trailways,A&Z knows how these amenities greatly improve the quality of life within a community.We are committed to working with <br />stakeholders to ensure a successful experience,start….to finish. <br />PROJECT <br />UNDERSTANDING <br />LISTENING <br />INTENTLY <br />ATTENTION <br />TO DETAIL <br />FINAL <br />PRODUCT <br />Matt and Jason have already made an initial site visit and studied <br />existing conceptual plans for Phase IIB of the Coal Line Trail <br />Project. A&Z Engineering is eager to work together creating a <br />beautiful trailway for the residents and visitors of South Bend, IN.
