7 City of South Bend | Coal Line Trail, Phase IIB | Des. #2200199 <br />Project Experience <br />USI has a rich history of construction inspection experience throughout Indiana. We pride ourselves in the extensive expertise of our staff, with hundreds of projects under our belt. The <br />following project examples are presented to demonstrate that we have the relevant experience necessary to successfully complete all aspects of this project. <br />Shelby Co. #13 Truss Bridge Rehab/Relocation to Blue River Trail <br />Built in 1889, Shelby #13 is a 93’ long iron and steel Pratt truss built in 1889. In 2011, the bridge was <br />closed to traffic due to damage and deterioration. The bridge was classified as a “Select” Historic <br />Bridge and described as an outstanding example of its type but best suited for Non-Vehicular use <br />based on condition and structural capacity constraints. The bridge is eligible for listing in the National <br />Register of Historic Places. Due to technicalities, the Shelby County Bridge project was subjected <br />to a full Section 106 process, including a Memorandum of Agreement. An Alternatives Analysis <br />determined the most “prudent and feasible” alternative was replacement of the existing bridge and <br />relocation of the historic truss. <br />The bridge was marketed for re-use for a period of six months, followed by a public hearing to <br />complete the public involvement process. The historic bridge was rehabilitated, including bridge <br />painting, and relocated to carry Blue River Trail over a man-made water feature in Blue River <br />Memorial Park, located in Shelbyville, Indiana. <br />Shelby #13 closed to traffic Shelby #13 closed to traffic <br />in Original Locationin Original Location <br />Shelby #13 Ribbon Cutting on Shelby #13 Ribbon Cutting on <br />Blue River Trail, August 2019. Blue River Trail, August 2019. <br />Ditch and Towne Road Trails - City of Carmel <br />City of Carmel Ditch Road Multi-Use Path from 106th to 116th <br />Street (16-ENG-20) and Town Road Trail Construction and Culvert <br />Replacement from 96th Street to 106th Street (16-SW-18) <br />USI completed the design and construction management for a trail <br />along Towne Road, and construction management for a path along <br />Ditch Road. Both projects had large box structures, storm sewers, <br />curb, curb ramps, and drive approaches. Construction required <br />ongoing coordination for all utilities that were located near the <br />trails. Soils required treatment using undercutting, geotextiles, and <br />innovative use of paving equipment so that trucks did not damage <br />the trail subgrade.
