Proposal for City of South Bend - Muessel Primary/Holy Cross <br />COVER LETTER <br />November 28, 2023 <br />Gemma Stanton, ERC/Project Engineer <br />City of South Bend <br />227 W. Jefferson Street <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS <br /> CE Services for Safe Routes to School at Muessel Primary/Holy Cross (DES# 1900447) <br />Dear Ms. Stanton: <br />Here at Abonmarche we believe that all people are entitled to a safe and accessible route wherever they may <br />travel throughout the City, especially to and from school. These intricate and detailed projects are where the <br />plans of the City meet the realities and unknowns of the real world. All public works projects contain challenges <br />and unknowns that must be managed through the construction inspection process. How this process is <br />managed is the key to controlling the project construction timeline and budget as well as ensuring that the <br />projected overall life expectancy of the improvements are met. <br />We employ a few very basic tenants to the process of construction inspection and oversight for our clients: <br />1. Be engaged, firm and fair with contractors and convey our expectations. <br />2. Be great communicators: provide timely project information to our client as well as the contractor. <br />3. Be a part of the solution to address any challenges that arise. <br />We hope our proposal demonstrates that the team we have assembled has the construction experience, <br />along with the technical knowledge and support staff, to successfully oversee the construction of this project <br />for the City. <br />We believe our qualifications, team, and our firsthand experience with Safe Routes to School Projects set us <br />apart. We hope you agree and look forward to working with you on this great project. <br />If you have any questions or concerns regarding this proposal, please do not hesitate to contact our office at <br />(574)232-8700. <br />Sincerely, <br />Abonmarche Consultants, Inc. <br />John W. Linn, PE <br />Principal & Chairman of the Board <br />Robert A. Nichols <br />Transportation Development Manager <br />2
