South Bend Market District Improvement Project 11 <br />Project Understanding & Approach <br />Final Construction Planning: The A&Z team will ensure that designs are well-organized, effi- <br />cient, and compliant with design specifications, quality standards, and safety regulations. <br />Permits and Approval <br />Rii; CFS, and Orbis Environmental will revisit the permits and documentation needed for the project and submit <br />applications at the appropriate time so as not to delay construction. Additionally, they will address any <br />environmental/historical/archaeological concerns in the final design and develop strategies to minimize the <br /> impact of construction on the environment. <br />Quantity & Cost Estimates <br />A&Z team will prepare reliable and accurate cost estimates related to the design and construction plans. These <br />estimates will also feature projections for future fiscal years so the city can plan their budgets accordingly. <br /> <br />Quality Assurance/Control and Constructability <br />A&Z in-house quality and constructability review process will ensure the construction work meets the required <br />standards and specifications. <br />SNAPSHOT OF A&Z REVIEW PROCESS <br />Articulating and following a review process is also an essential part to cost containment and schedule adherence. Time for review is built in <br />to every project schedule. Originator of deliverable makes applicable revisions after each stage of the review process. <br /> <br />→ Self-Check: Designers are required to check their own work prior to set up. <br />→ Red Pen Review: Complete dual quantity take-off calculations are reviewed by two of A&Z senior staff ensuring Accuracy, Consistency, <br />Compliance, and Constructability. <br />→ Targeted Review: Each facet of project design is checked again for QA/QC (Warren Zwick, PE) and Constructability (Jamal Anabtawi, <br />PE). <br />→ Revisions: The original designer then checks and revises the plans. <br />→ Change Order Avoidance: Plans, specifications, and cost-estimates are compared to ensure that each pay item coincides with the <br />method of measurement and basis of payment to avoid construction hiccups and change orders. <br />Submittal Approval <br />Final <br />Comparison <br />Targeted <br />Review <br />Red Pen <br />Review <br />Originator performs <br />self-check. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />SIMILAR PROJECT EXPERIENCE: LUDWIG RD. & OAKBROOK PARKWAY | CITY OF FORT WAYNE | $5.5M PROJECT COST <br />A&Z Engineering redesigned an unsafe, yet popular “shortcut” between two major corridors in Fort Wayne, IN. The design elemen ts included <br />roundabout, new signalized intersection, sidewalk and multiuse path, retaining wall and <br />drainage, and the creation of the new Oakbrook Pkwy. The effort on this project also <br />included collaboration with Fort Wayne <br />Community Schools to ensure that design <br />met the needs of students, staff, and visi- <br />tors traveling to and from Northrop High <br />School. <br />Construction Sequencing and Maintenance of Traffic <br />The A&Z team will work with project stakeholders to articulate the optimal sequence of construction activities <br />along with the appropriate methods and techniques to ensure the most effective, and safe construction <br />approaches. Additionally, A&Z will work with the City of South Bend to determine the safest, most convenient <br />maintenance of traffic plan to accompany various phases of construction.
