TEAM PROJECT APPROACH RELEVANT EXPERIENCE 8FIRM OVERVIEWCITY OF SOUTH BEND | CE Services for Coal Line Trail Phase IIB (Des # 2200199) <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH <br />HWC has had the opportunity to inspect numerous projects within <br />the City of South Bend and throughout INDOT’s La Porte District. <br />We have performed several different types of projects including a <br />plethora of LPA trails in northwest Indiana. Our staff is very familiar <br />with trail construction and is confident this is an area where our <br />experience and skill set stand out in comparison to our peer firms. <br />We look forward to using this platform as an opportunity to further <br />strengthen our relationship within La Porte and make the City of <br />South Bend one of our repeat clients for many years to come. <br />We do not take any past opportunities for granted, and we look <br />forward to once again showcasing our team’s talents to the City of <br />South Bend on this trail project. HWC will continue to build these <br />relationships and maintain the level of trust we have earned with <br />the City through our high level of communication. Whether this is <br />through regular daily interactions, bi-weekly progress meetings, <br />or our weekly reports, Scott Carter will ensure that the City is <br />up-to-date and well informed on project progress, any potential <br />issues that may arise, as well as construction or value engineering <br />options throughout construction. <br />A CONTINUED <br />RELATIONSHIP <br />EXPERIENCED <br />PARTNERSHIP <br />HWC and McCormick Engineering have a long-standing working relationship which provides a cohesive team and also a varied level of experience to handle any field issues that may <br />arise. We are a firm believer that this continued partnership carries forward to the benefit of our clients. Our team’s familiarity and experience specifically in the City of South Bend has <br />also helped to build rapport with local utility companies and the contractors who execute this work. Our proposed inspection team is well versed in path construction and understands the <br />specific needs of this project. They are prepared and ready to identify and solve issues during construction, but also to review and find any potential issues with the contract documents <br />and plans. This assures constructibility concerns are addressed throughout the project. The level of attention to detail our team offers enables them to easily and quickly diagnose issues <br />during each stage of construction to make sure that this project will be built to the expectations of the City and yield lasting, quality results. <br />40 <br />INSPECTORS <br />OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS OUR <br />TRIPLED TO <br />CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION <br />TEAM HAS MORE THAN <br />HWC has made several strategic hires over the last five years to help grow and maintain a diverse and <br />experienced PE/PS staff. As a result of this strategy, nine of our key Senior Inspector staff have over 25 years <br />of construction experience. We also have an additional seven staff members that possess 10 or more years of <br />construction inspection experience. In total, this means over 2/3 of our entire inspection staff has a minimum of <br />10 years of direct inspection experience. <br />Our PE/PS core team members are skilled in foreseeing and diagnosing problems before they occur in the field. <br />By using various techniques learned over the years, our team is confident it can overcome any challenge that <br />occurs during the course of any construction project. Being able to stay on top of project related issues, such as <br />subgrade issues, errors/omissions in the contract documents, unforeseen conditions, etc., will help ensure the City <br />gets a lasting product of which they can be proud. Our history performing work within the La Porte District and <br />the City of South Bend has proven our ability in this area. <br />Several different skill sets are required to successfully manage and inspect an INDOT project. Materials need to <br />be tested and certifications obtained. Weekly erosion control reports, contractor payrolls, and traffic reports need <br />reviewed for accuracy and compliance. But, ultimately, job success usually comes down to one word: MONEY. <br />Budget control is imperative to success and INDOT makes it a focal point on their performance scoring. We coach <br />our teams to constantly check and identify value engineering opportunities in both their inspection and construction <br />budgets. Specific to projects performed within the La Porte District, our firm has regularly given back money on <br />inspection budgets and sought ways to save our clients money in timely resolution of field issues and providing <br />several options to solve constructibility issues. Prompt resolution of problems that arise during construction means <br />less down time leading to projects being constructed on time and within budget. <br />DIAGNOSING & <br />SOLVING PROBLEMS <br />CONSTRUCTION & INSPECTION <br />BUDGET EMPHASIS$ <br />THIS CORE TEAM HAS BEEN PART OF NUMEROUS <br />LARGE PROFILE PROJECTS RANGING IN SIZE UP TO $40 MILLION
