May 18, 2023 <br />South Bend Board of Public Works | c/o Leslie Biek, PE, Assistant City Engineer <br />227 W. Jefferson Boulevard, Suite 1316, South Bend, Indiana 46601 <br />Dear Evaluators: <br />Engineering consulting is a service, not a commodity. For all of the math involved, it’s an art, not a science. <br />Your consultant partner on the Market District Improvement Project is going to help you shape the future of <br />transportation in South Bend. You deserve a partner who can deliver your vision efficiently and completely. <br />American Structurepoint will support you via: <br />EXCEPTIONAL PROFESSIONAL STAFF CAPACITY As the state’s largest engineering <br />firm, American Structurepoint offers the talent and experience of more than 600 professionals <br />working in 11 disciplines. This depth of resources provides you added value because we can “staff <br />up” to meet deadlines required by grant programs, giving you access to additional project funds. <br />UNMATCHED TECHNICAL EXPERTISE American Structurepoint combines nationally <br />recognized experience in transportation planning with experience delivering infrastructure <br />solutions for South Bend. Your award-winning Smart Streets project showed the exceptional <br />work we can do together. Our transportation planning and design professionals—including urban <br />planners, traffic engineers, roadway designers, and landscape architects—worked closely with <br />City staff to deliver your vision and improve multi-modal safety. <br />OUTSTANDING PROJECT MANAGER Nick Murphy is the ideal manager for a complex <br />project like the Market District Improvement. He combines technical knowledge of roadway <br />improvement from planning to design with superior communication and organizational skills. <br />Nick will be a hands-on partner for the City, guiding this project through the requirements of the <br />awarded RAISE grant funding and helping to realize your vision for the area. <br />COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT APPROACH Ultimately, you are hiring a consulting <br />engineering firm to deliver this project in the most beneficial manner for the South Bend <br />community. American Structurepoint’s project approach for planning and preliminary engineering <br />includes technical elements like traffic engineering and NEPA document preparation; it also <br />includes communication and schedule management. We offer the tools to make the Market District <br />Improvements a reality for South Bend. <br />We were proud to work with the City on the preparation of the RAISE grant application. We look forward to <br />beginning the planning stage of this project together. <br />Sincerely, <br />American Structurepoint, Inc. <br />Cash E.
