CITY OF SOUTH BEND CE SERVICES: COAL LINE TRAIL PHASE IIB DES #22001991 7 <br />RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />Coming together is the beginning. Staying together is progress. Working together is success. <br />During a pre-construction walkthrough, <br />Mark Voss identified the ability to use 2 <br />existing irrigation systems and 2 <br />landscape gardens eliminating the <br />need for several storm structures. This <br />proactive measure saved time, money, <br />and certainly kept nearby property <br />owners happy. <br />SCHEDULE-FOCUSED <br />APPROACH <br />A&Z completed construction inspection of Covington Trail. This included <br />using asphalt and concrete trail pavement, drive approaches, curbing and <br />ADA ramps along with pedestrian crossings. After Phase III of this project, <br />residents were able to have pedestrian access to many popular locations in <br />the southwest portion of Fort Wayne. <br />Covington Trail | Fort Wayne, IN | DES #0600375 IPFW Pedestrian Bridge | Fort Wayne, IN | <br />DES #0500874 <br />465 feet over the St. Joseph River is now a shortcut for students attending <br />Purdue Fort Wayne and trail goers using the River Greenway trail system. <br />A&Z provided the inspection services for the duration of this state -of-the-art <br />cable stayed-steel girder bridge. The project also included the incorporation <br />of lighting and additional 200’ of sidewalk on the east end. Overall, the <br />A&Z staff assumed responsibility for all materials testing,. Collaboration <br />between A&Z, INDOT, the university, Engineering Resources and several <br />contractors ensured the success of this project-and some very happy <br />college students who now have a shorter walk to class! <br />END-PRODUCT-FOCUSED <br />APPROACH <br />A&Z knew that this bridge needed to be <br />safe, beautiful, and withstand the test of <br />time. Our inspection services included <br />testing all materials including several <br />hundred cubic yards of concrete and steel <br />encased concrete piles for the foundation. <br />We went the extra mile to make sure that <br />pedestrians could rely on this bridge to <br />transport them safely –forever, all while <br />aiming to create a structure worthy of <br />monument status in the city. <br />We made an excellent choice in selecting A&Z Engineering for this project [IPFW Pedestrian Bridge]. …Great job coordinating the interests of all players and designing <br />and monitoring the construction of the improvements. This project had a few challenges and A&Z was able to successfully handle all of them. The final product has <br />worked extremely well and was constructed in a timely manner. <br />Walter Branson <br />Vice Chancellor of Financial Affairs, IPFW
