UTILITY DESIGN & COORDINATION: New sanitary sewer,
<br />water main, and storm sewer systems will be designed
<br />and modeled to serve the new development and integrate
<br />seamlessly with the City's existing infrastructure. Hydraulic
<br />modeling will be used to evaluate system performance, confirm
<br />future capacity needs, and ensure resiliency under projected
<br />growth scenarios. Coordination with utility providers will guide
<br />the alignment of improvements, reduce the risk of conflicts,
<br />and optimize connections to existing networks. Where utility
<br />relocations are required, our team will prepare detailed
<br />documentation and schedule adjustments in coordination with
<br />project phasing to minimize disruptions. By combining precise
<br />modeling with careful coordination, the utility design will
<br />provide reliable service, long-term efficiency, and flexibility to
<br />accommodate future development.
<br />The JPR team has identified the following utilities in the area,
<br />however, additional may need to be considered to serve the
<br />new development:
<br />American Electric Power
<br />Electric, Fiber Optic
<br />AT&T
<br />Telephone, Fiber Optic
<br />Chillicothe Telephone
<br />Fiber Optic
<br />Choice Light, Inc.
<br />Fiber Optic
<br />Cogent Communications, Inc.
<br />Fiber Optic
<br />Comcast North
<br />Cable TV
<br />Everstream
<br />Fiber Optic
<br />Lumen
<br />Fiber Optic
<br />MCI
<br />Fiber Optic
<br />Metro Fibernet
<br />Fiber Optic
<br />NIPSCO Gas
<br />Gas
<br />Rogers Telecom
<br />Fiber Optic
<br />RVP Fiber Company
<br />Fiber Optic
<br />City of South Bend
<br />Water, Sewer
<br />Windstream
<br />Communications
<br />Zayo Bandwidth
<br />Fiber Optic
<br />STORMWATER RETENTION: A stormwater management
<br />system will be designed to comply with City and IDEM
<br />requirements. The plan will feature on -site underground
<br />stormwater storage to manage peak runoff, protect water
<br />quality, and maximize usable land area. Best management
<br />practices (BMPs) will also be incorporated to enhance
<br />sustainability and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
<br />RIGHT-OF-WAY (ROW) ENGINEERING: ROW engineering
<br />will support the dedication of land for public streets and
<br />utilities. Legal descriptions and plats will be prepared for ROW
<br />acquisition and recording. Our team will ensure the ROW
<br />design balances the needs of infrastructure improvements,
<br />parking, and pedestrian amenities.
<br />In collaboration with the City of Elkhart and the Community Foundation
<br />of Elkhart County, JPR helped shape the River District Vision and
<br />Implementation Plans to transform a 105-acre area into a thriving, :
<br />mixed -use, walkable community centered on the riverfront. Guided ;
<br />by extensive public and private stakeholder input, the plan integrated
<br />new residential, commercial, and recreational investments with $30
<br />million in City -funded infrastructure. Early phases delivered four anchor ;
<br />• projects, including a 200-unit apartment complex, the Elkhart Health
<br />: & Aquatics facility, a signature streetscape along Jackson Boulevard,
<br />and a mixed -use grocery and housing development. With over $170 :
<br />million in combined public and private investment, the River District ;
<br />• now features a contiguous Riverwalk, renewed parks and town green,
<br />improved utilities, and vibrant tree -lined streets that foster connectivity,
<br />livability, and sustained economic growth. :

<br />JPR led the design and engineering for the reconstruction and
<br />rehabilitation of IOth Street and Douglas Street, delivering
<br />comprehensive infrastructure upgrades including new storm sewer,
<br />sanitary sewer, and water services, as well as on -street parking,
<br />• curb and gutter, sidewalks, and landscaping. A key challenge was
<br />the absence of a sufficient stormwater outfall; JPR resolved this
<br />by implementing a PaveDrain system with subsurface stormwater
<br />retention along Douglas Street to collect and infiltrate runoff on
<br />• site. Coordination with the adjacent Ariel Cycleworks development
<br />enabled expedited scheduling and prevented costly delays. The
<br />completed improvements enhanced water pressure, replaced lead
<br />service lines, modernized sanitary infrastructure, and created a
<br />• healthier, more attractive, and pedestrian -friendly neighborhood.
