Safe Routes to School | 9 APR 2023 NOTICE TO PROCEED FIELD VERIFICATION STAGE 3 PLANS (95%) TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY FINAL TRACINGS PRELIMINARY FIELD CHECK PLANS LETTING ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT APPROVED JUN 2023 NOV 2024 JUL 2023 MAR 2024 OCT 2023 JULY 2025 AUG 2024 Schedule INDOT/LPA PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS It is our understanding, this project is to have a 2026 fiscal year construction date, which is reflected in the schedule to the right. DLZ is committed to exceeding the schedule expectations, and we are ready to accelerate the schedule should funding become available for an earlier letting. During the first 90 days after being given Notice to Proceed, the DLZ Team will get started with the following tasks: • Conduct a project kickoff meeting with the City to establish project goals, define more specific areas of focus, and confirm our lines of communication. • Once the project Area has been condensed, field verify sidewalks and curb ramps for ADA compliance and determine topographic survey needs. • Complete field visits for documenting environmental resources, if necessary. • Perform topographic survey, verify existing right of way, and initiate any property surveys as required. • Initiate Early Coordination with State and Federal environmental resources. • Initiate coordination with all utilities to verify locations of electrical, natural gas, water, and sanitary sewer lines in the vicinity of the project. ACTION PLAN FOR FIRST 90 DAYS *Schedule assumes no right of way acquisition is required. Right of Way Based upon our preliminary research of the GIS property lines, it generally appears that the construction can be limited to stay within the existing right of way. However, DLZ’s experience has shown that in some instances, areas around curb ramps may require additional right of way to meet ADA requirements. Additionally, federal funding requires that appropriate documentation of right of way be on record. As such, DLZ will perform title research to confirm the existing right of way. If there are areas of insufficient documentation, or where additional right of way may be needed to construct the desired improvements, our team will work diligently with INDOT and the City of South Bend to find alternatives to reduce or eliminate the right of way impact. If permanent or temporary right of way is required, the we will be ready to expedite Right of Way Engineering and Acquisition services with your approval.
