PROJECT APPROACH
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
MAXIMIZE AVAILABLE TIME, MINIMIZE RISK
The Kapur project management approach includes a risk
management component in addition to an intense focus on
the scope, schedule, and budget. Common risks are those
involving external entities unmotivated by the goals of the
project. Our common-sense approach is to start early, allow
adequate time, respect the processes of other agencies, and
provide for contingencies in both schedule and budget.
COMMUNICATION
OPEN COMMUNICATION IS KEY
An important aspect of the Kapur project approach is a
detailed communication plan developed to meet the needs
of the project and the City of South Bend. The project
communication plan will clearly define parameters for
interactions with the City and INDOT using a broad range
of tools including telephone, hard copy and electronic
correspondence, standardized reports, project websites,
virtual or in-person meetings, or other methods and processes
as needed. Communication is the cornerstone of a successful
relationship and Kapur incorporates this integral component
of the process throughout the project.
Once the project commences, weekly updates will be provided
to the project team. At critical review times, we will schedule
meetings to review plans and receive input from the team
before making final decisions. We will also review the schedule
that was agreed upon at the project scoping meeting regularly
to ensure we reach milestones.
Kapur will immediately bring any unforeseen conditions or
changes, or suggested modifications, to the City’s and INDOT’s
attention and resolve these issues quickly.
We will use available resources, such as the INDOT Highway
Design & Technical Support division, for answers to questions
or for guidance if the unexpected arises.
DAILY UPDATES
Daily updates will be shared between the design
team and any subcontractors to make sure
everything is running smoothly.
WEEKLY UPDATES
Team leads will meet on a weekly basis to make
sure day-to-day activities are adhering to
schedule and discuss anything that needs to be
brought up with South Bend and INDOT staff.
SINGLE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL FOR
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
As Project Manager, Shakeel will be the single
point of contact for South Bend as well as team
members and any subcontractors. Having one
point of contact everyone can go to will create
effective communication.
KICKOFF MEETING
Once we receive Notice to Proceed, we set
wheels in motion for developing a successful
partnership. One of the most important
meetings is a kickoff meeting which includes
key team members, contractors, and project
managers from Kapur, INDOT, and South Bend.
OPEN COMMUNICATION IS KEY
DES: 2100022 | City of South Bend - LaPorte District - PE/RW Services for Bendix Drive | 6
PROJECT APPROACH
WE CONSIDER THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND
AND INDOT AS OUR MOST VALUABLE
TEAM MEMBERS THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRETY OF THE PROJECT.
SURVEY
PRECISION, INNOVATION, RELIABILITY
Kapur is a national leader in the collection and use of 3D data
as well as the leveraging of 3D technology throughout project
design and construction.
Common methods of data collection at Kapur:
+GPS rovers
+Total stations
+Photogrammetry unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
+Stationary and mobile LiDAR
+Aerial LiDAR (UAVs)
The majority of survey data collected for the Bendix Road
project will be collected with stationary or mobile LiDAR
because it eliminates the need for additional trips to the
project site. LiDAR data consisting of millions of points known
as “point clouds” will be combined to produce accurate and
precise 3D measurements and mapping.
The 3D data is easily viewable by the City via the Kapur cloud-
based data viewer. The use of LiDAR ensures better survey
coverage, requiring less trips to the project for additional
survey, and provides a safer survey process for the crews.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
FOSTERING A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY.
Because the public is increasingly interested in influencing
the details of transportation projects, they must be closely
involved from design through construction. Our goal is to
respond to these desires while balancing our responsibility
to design a safe and efficient facility. The Kapur team
collaborates with the public and agency stakeholders to garner
informed consent on all our projects. Informed consent is the
willingness of project stakeholders to eventually support a
course of action that they might first oppose because it serves
a greater good.
Our public involvement plan will focus on affected businesses
along Bendix Drive and in the adjoining airport industrial
areas. Our plan will include up to three public involvement
meetings to gather input on the purpose and need, develop
the proper range of improvement alternatives, and finalize the
selected alternative’s details. Further one-on-one property
owner coordination will take place with impacted businesses
as plan details and traffic staging plans are developed.
In addition to group and individual meetings, our team will
prepare and distribute up to three project newsletters during
design to keep area businesses informed as to the status
of the project. During construction our team will prepare
and distribute project updates to keep all informed of the
construction progress.
ROADWAY DESIGN
PAVING THE WAY TO THE FUTURE.
Roadway plans, profiles, and cross sections will be developed
in accordance with current Indiana Design Manual guidelines,
input from the public, and coordination with the City of South
Bend and INDOT.
The Request for Proposal indicates that a three-lane roadway
be constructed with a multi-use path on the east side. With
no access points, the east side of the roadway is an excellent
location for a bi-directional multi use path.
A field review indicates six commercial driveways on the west
side of the roadway to at least three businesses. All three
businesses appear to have multiple driveways which will help
to maintain access while under construction.
The existing roadway lighting system on wood poles with
overhead power lines should be evaluated to upgrading for
LED lights and underground power.
DRAINAGE
GO WITH THE FLOW.
The Request for Proposal indicates a storm sewer will also
be added. Other than at the intersections at Lathrop Street
and Voorde Drive, there does not appear to be storm sewer
in Bendix Drive. The profile and adjoining lands are relatively
flat with drainage predominantly to the east towards the St
DES: 2100022 | City of South Bend - LaPorte District - PE/RW Services for Bendix Drive | 7
Joseph River. The existing quarry and pits east of the project
will limit the outlet potential outlet locations or may require
easements to reach a suitable outlet.
The Kapur team will perform analysis to ensure all drainage
pipes are sized appropriately for anticipated flows and will
work with the City to determine the optimal storm sewer
layout and outlet for the Bendix Drive project.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECT AND PRESERVE.
WETLANDS
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
National Wetlands Inventory, there is an isolated wetland
adjacent to and east of Bendix Drive.
If required, Kapur has in-house staff available to delineate
wetlands located in the Army Corps of Engineers Midwest
Region.
During the field review it appears there is a strong likelihood
that poor subsurface soils may exist that will require
special consideration. Kapur recommends a geotechnical
investigation be conducted to determine areas for potential
excavation below subgrade and dewatering methods during
construction.
Kapur will coordinate with INDOT and consult with
USFWS as required to protect rare species such as the
state endangered Kirtland’s snake and federally/state
endangered Indiana bat
ENDANGERED RESOURCES
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT
The Kapur environmental team will prepare the necessary
environmental documentation (Categorical Exclusion [CE])
required under the National Environmental Policy Act and
associated INDOT and Federal Highways Administration
requirements. The team will coordinate with INDOT District
staff on properties of environmental concern, waterway
permitting applications, and analysis of impacts to other
infrastructure to ensure project schedules are maintained and
deadlines met.
CONSTRUCTION STAGING
KEEP IT MOVING.
Kapur will develop plans to minimize disruption of access to
local stakeholders during construction and stage work to allow
the contractors to work safely and efficiently and deliver a
high- quality finished product. A comprehensive traffic control
plan and transportation management plan will be developed
after receiving input from the City, INDOT, and the public
involvement process.
Kapur anticipates that the improvements will be constructed
under traffic with traffic control. Construction access at
driveways and side streets will be maintained as necessary,
potentially with half-at-a-time construction. Due to the airport
industrial area access from Bendix Drive, construction staging
and access at driveways and at Lathrop Street and Voorde
Drive will be maintained to the extent possible using multiple
staging and partial or short-duration detours.
RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION
EXTENSIVE AND EFFICIENT.
Resolution Group Inc. and J. Williams Appraisal Group will
provide plat preparation, description writing, and right-of-way
plan preparation. Our design team will work closely with these
team members during the right-of-way engineering to ensure
the appropriate and necessary land interests are acquired for
the project.
The team will research contact information immediately upon
notice to proceed and provide a single point of contact for
property owners to reassure them of the various activities
they may expect.
We are committed to bringing any potential issues to the
forefront of the project to ensure all stakeholders understand
potential problems, delays, or schedule-critical items. This
enables stakeholders to strategise how to overcome issues
before they become a problem and ensure continued pace as
scheduled for a successful project.
UTILITIES
OVERHEAD OR UNDERGROUND, WE HAVE IT COVERED.
With power poles, overhead wires, streetlights, watermain and
other underground facilities located within the Bendix Drive
corridor, coordination with multiple utility companies will be
necessary to complete this project. It is imperative that the
Kapur team’s coordination with these utilities begins early and
continues throughout the design process. The right-of-way
plat must be completed on schedule to allow time for property
acquisition and utility relocations prior to construction.
Minimizing utility work during construction helps avoid
conflicts and delays.
PROJECT APPROACH
DES: 2100022 | City of South Bend - LaPorte District - PE/RW Services for Bendix Drive | 8
Should construction of the multi-use path require greater
separation from the NICTD rails, a more significant utility
relocation plan will be necessary given the bulk of utilities
appear to be west of and adjacent to Bendrix Drive.
MULTI-USE TRAIL AND NICTD
Installation of a multi-use trail along the east side of Bendix
Drive is complicated due to the NICTD Shore Line that runs
directly east of and in close proximity to the roadway. From
Voorde Drive to 750 feet north of Voorde Drive there are two
tracks, with the closest track approximately 10 feet from the
face of curb. Further north, to the at grade NICTD crossing,
there is one rail, approximately 25 feet from the face of curb.
Ultimately, successful design of a multi-use trail in this
location will balance the operational, maintenance, and
safety requirements of a railroad with the specific needs and
characteristics of trail users.
A summary of effective practices for the design of rail-with-
trail facilities is as follows:
Setback: Rails-with-trails should be set back from
railroad tracks as much as reasonably possible. Setback
determinations should consider factors including:
+Train frequency, speed, and type of freight transported
+Current and future rail maintenance and operational
needs
+Track curvature
+Topography and other environmental and physical
constraints
+Separation type
+Any applicable state standards
+Historical patterns of trespassing or vandalism
Separation between the rail-with-trail and railroad tracks
which aims to reduce trespassing on the tracks often takes the
form of fencing, ditches, berms, vegetation, or any combination
of these options. If fence is needed, characteristics such as
the setback distance, location of legal at-grade crossings, and
the type, speed, and frequency of rail service will influence the
appropriate fencing style, including height and material.
For the Bendix Drive multi-use trail, there is a limited amount
of space available between the roadway, even with only three
lanes and the rail. For that reason, shifting the entire roadway
to the west may be necessary to provide for safety and
operations of both the rail and the trail.
At-Grade Crossings: The likelihood of a fall is kept to a
minimum where the roadway or shared use path crosses the
tracks at 90 degrees. The preferable skew angle between the
centerline of the tracks and the bikeway is between 60 and 90
degrees, so bicyclists can avoid catching their wheels in the
flange[way] and losing their balance. The new grade crossing
will be reviewed to determine which traffic control devices are
required to provide warning and guidance for trail users.
INNOVATION
GET A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW BEFORE BREAKING
GROUND.
3D TECHNOLOGY
The traditional plan set uses three independent 2D paper
plans to illustrate each 3D element, such as alignments,
profiles, and cross sections. Plan sheets typically include
manually-entered, unintelligent text that require quality
reviews to independently check X, Y, and Z.
Because 3D models are generally used in design to create
2D paper plans, which are the contract documents, these 3D
design models are often incomplete and not construction
ready.
At Kapur we believe the best way to ensure that the three 2D
paper views fit together is to build the project electronically
with reverse engineering ahead of time.
We use 3D CIM technology at 90% to build a 3D model
from the paper plans. This virtually built project (reverse
engineered) - prepared prior to construction - ensures that the
project can be constructed from the 2D paper plans.
The resulting model brings the 3D technology advantage back
to the City of South Bend and INDOT.

CALHOUN ROAD | BROOKFIELD, WI
Kapur provided the design for reconstruction of 1.16 miles of
Calhoun Road in the City of Brookfield as a highway capacity
improvement project. The design included alternative
analysis for the reconstruction of the existing two-lane rural
facility to an urban four-lane facility. Alternative analysis
included a four-lane divided urban section and a four-lane
divided rural section. Major design considerations included
providing access to the many homes along this corridor,
historical impacts, signalization warrants at Wisconsin
Avenue, and drainage considerations. Some of the performed
services include creating a public involvement plan, utility
coordination, right-of-way plat, and traffic control planning
and staging.
CTH C | PLYMOUTH, WI
Kapur performed preliminary and final design for the
reconstruction of a four-lane urban roadway. Project
