33SOUTH BEND, INDIANA GSC <br />The Bluffton WWTP Improvements GSC Project <br />The Bluffton WWTP Improvements project was completed in 2016 utilizing the Guaranteed Savings Contracting delivery method. This $5.2M project also required close coordination with the Owner and Engineer. The scope of the project involved the construction of a new headworks facility, rehabilitation of the existing influent structures, new primary clarifier equipment, replacement of the existing digester covers and internal piping, multiple site and underground pipe improvements, as well as, various other changes. Groundwater mitigation and rock 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.
