CITY OF SOUTH BEND | CE SERVICES FOR SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL AT OUR LADY OF HUNGARY AMERICAN STRUCTUREPOINT PAGE 10 <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH <br />TAKING COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT TO THE NEXT LEVEL <br />Through our experience, we know following through on the items listed previously helps to create a <br />project the community supports. To keep the coordination and communication with the community up <br />to date, we are proposing to take our community involvement efforts to the next level by offering to <br />implement any of the following items, or working with the City of South Bend Officials to develop new <br />innovative outreach efforts. <br />DOOR HANGERS WITH MAGNETS <br />These will be handed out in conjunction with the normal notification letters and <br />contain logos of all involved parties along with contact information. <br />TWITTER UPDATES BY PROJECT MANAGER/ENGINEER <br />Using a Twitter account established for the project, along with the existing Twitter <br />account for your community, we will work with South Bend and the contractor to <br />issue instant updates for short-term closures or accidents and post construction <br />photos. To assist in getting followers to these Twitter accounts, the project website <br />can be configured to show both Twitter feeds, along with the information and <br />updates typically found on our project websites. Where available, we’ll use other <br />social media channels, such as Facebook, for the same purposes. <br />CUSTOMIZED PROJECT SIGNAGE <br />Similar to signs used on private development projects, the signage for your project <br />will show logos of all involved parties and provide the various website and Twitter <br />handles detailed above. <br />DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY <br />With this resource in house we are able to get high resolution site photos before <br />during and post construction. Additionally, we can video the construction process <br />at any point in time to show progress from beginning to end of the construction of <br />a project. <br />GOOGLE MAPS <br />We intend to use a Google Map overlay on the project website to provide an <br />interactive map view of the project. This feature will also allow us to display detour <br />routes and project limits in a way that is easily understood. <br />GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND <br />In trying to provide the best solutions for <br />South Bend, we provide the following <br />extra services that make a difference. <br />PERSONALIZED PLAN SHEETS <br />We regularly provide pertinent plan sheets <br />with personalized notes that indicate <br />specific features (property lines, old/new <br />driveways, new pavement limits, etc.) <br />for homeowners who have extensive <br />questions. While many residents have <br />likely seen this information prior to <br />construction, this personal touch shows <br />that we take their concerns seriously. <br />VALUE-ENGINEERED EROSION AND <br />SEDIMENT CONTROL <br />Intelligent implementation of erosion and <br />sediment control (E&SC) measures often <br />provides us with an early opportunity for <br />value engineering. If implemented as per the <br />plans, E&SC measures can often leave areas <br />unprotected or simply be unnecessary. On <br />projects where planned E&SC measures are <br />found to be inadequate, we can make strategic <br />adjustments that, in the end, will help minimize <br />financial impact and make the project more <br />environmentally friendly.
