The Bluffton WWTP Improvements GSC Project <br />The Bluffton WWTP Improvements project was completed in 2016 utilizing the Guaranteed Savings <br />Contracting delivery method. This $5.2M project also required close coordination with the Owner <br />and Engineer. The scope of the project involved the construction of a new headworks facility, <br />rehabilitation of the existing influent structures, new primary clarifier equipment, replacement of the <br />existing digester covers and internal piping, multiple site and underground pipe improvements, as <br />well as, various other changes. Groundwater mitigation and rock <br />excavation was required to construct the new headworks facility. <br />Some of the existing sanitary lines encountered during construction <br />were either not shown on the as -built drawings or in locations that <br />were not anticipated. This included finding an underground live ' <br />sanitary line that the plant was not aware existed. Kokosing and the <br />plant staff worked to trace the existing utilities and determine where <br />conflicts would be encountered with new infrastructure. All involved <br />collaborated to find constructible and economical solutions to keep <br />the project moving forward without changing the overall design <br />intent of the project. <br />Kokosing approaches all alternative delivery contracting methods as a collaborative effort. We want <br />to be more than just your contractor, we are your Provider and Partner. As previously noted, Kokosing <br />has over 30 years of experience providing alternative delivery methods, including GSC. We have the <br />knowledge, resources, and experience to make this another successful project for the City of South <br />Bend. <br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA GSC 33 <br />
