TEAM PROJECT APPROACH RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
PROJECT APPROACH
HWC has considerable experience in working with the
City of South Bend. Our engineers are currently working
on the next phase of the Western Avenue improvements
between Walnut Street and Taylor Street. Our
construction inspectors have worked on previous phases
of the Western Avenue improvements as well water
main improvements and the Olive Street Reconstruction
project. HWC has been honored to serve the City of
South Bend and looks forward to serving the City in the
future.
HWC has extensive experience in road
reconstruction projects with clients such as INDOT,
Indianapolis DPW, and large cities throughout
Indiana. HWC has been recognized for years as
an industry leader in using federal funds for LPA
projects for municipalities throughout Indiana.
We are also an industry leader in assisting
our clients in the successful use of Community
Crossing funds. In all of these projects, we
consistently strive for common-sense solutions
and opportunities to help our clients maximize the
use of taxpayer dollars.
This project will be challenging in terms of
balancing the purpose and need for the
improvements with the total amount of funding
available. Creative thinking will be necessary
and our approach will be to work intimately and
comprehensively with South Bend staff, INDOT,
and FHWA from the very beginning to find an
acceptable solution in terms of project scope and
limits that match the funding available.

DES # 2100025 - AREA BOUNDED BY INDIANA AVENUE, EWING AVENUE, OLIVE STREET, AND
FRANKLIN STREET
PROJECT APPROACH
The area bounded by Indiana Avenue, Ewing Avenue, Olive Street, and Franklin Street is
approximately 0.3 square miles and contains over 40 intersections, a school, and a church. Most
of the curb ramps are non ADA compliant and much of the sidewalk is in need of replacement.
There are no compliant ramps at alley crossings. Pedestrian crosswalk striping needs to be
renewed and supplemented in order to delineate safe crossing locations for pedestrians.
The purpose of this project is to improve pedestrian safety with an emphasis on major walking
routes to and from the local school. Non-compliant ramps will be removed and replaced with
new compliant ramps. Pavement markings will be added or renewed to clearly mark safe
pedestrian crossing locations. Deteriorated sidewalks will be removed and replaced in order
to reduce tripping hazards and improve overall pedestrian safety. Many of the properties have
steep slopes coming down to the sidewalk grade and may require the addition of retaining walls
in order to safely tie in the new sidewalk. HWC will work to reduce these potential impacts to
adjacent properties and minimize any associated right-of- way impacts.

UTILITY COORDINATION
HWC understands time constraints with the environmental process. A critical timeline component is getting Metric started as soon
as possible. We achieve this by providing them Stage 1 plans as quickly as possible. There is one archaeological site, however
it is not near a major walking route and so no impacts are anticipated. There is one property listed on the National Register of
Historic Places as “Outstanding” and four properties rated as “Notable” which means the properties are eligible for the NRHP.
It is anticipated to process the project under the Minor Projects Programmatic Agreement (MPPA) Categorical B-1 for sidewalk
replacement and handicap accessible curb ramps. The project is 3.1’ southeast of the South Bend Regional Airport which requires
coordination with INDOT-Aviation. While it is expected to require a Programmatic Categorical Exclusion (PCE), there are several
factors that could increase this to a CE Level 1 or as much as a CE Level 4. This could be the need for right-of-way acquisition or
impacts to a Section 4(f) park/school. There are ten mapped hazardous material concerns in the project area which will require a
Red Flag Investigation. There are no mapped water resources in the vicinity of the project area.
WSP will oversee the right-of-way development for this project. They will provide the
title and encumbrance reports and manage any required right-of-way engineering for
any parcels where acquisition is deemed necessary. All work will be designed to avoid
the need for any acquisition, however, in order to improve upon existing ramps and
depending on existing conditions, it may not be able to be avoided. Should additional
right-of-way be required, we’ve found one way to prepare for acquisition is to conduct
no-contact appraising and review appraising as a part of the preliminary engineering
process. This allows us to control the schedule and have the appraisal work completed
around the same time as the expected environmental approval, which will then
expedite the purchasing process.
Our field work lead time is about
one month. From the Notice to
Proceed (NTP) date, our Survey
Department will schedule the
project. Our department is familiar
with South Bend as they have
conducted several surveys in the
area over the past few years. From
the NTP date, we should get a
final survey deliverable in 2.5 to 3
months.
HWC’s Katie Olsen will provide Utility Coordination on the
project. The primary utility conflict seen on these types of
projects is utility pole relocations when new ramps are needed
to be installed. Katie will coordinate early and often with the
numerous identified utilities in the project area to ensure any
potential conflicts are addressed in a timely manner and do not
delay the project schedule. A summary of the utilities in the area
identified by an 811 request is provided below.

HWC provided survey, design, bidding, and construction inspection services for the
rehabilitation of a 4,000’ section of Hoyt Avenue from Memorial Drive to Liberty
Street for the City of Muncie. The project entailed a mill and resurface improvement
along with many areas of new curb, sidewalk, and full depth patches to revitalize
the area. It also included a 2 block section of new storm sewer to disconnect the
stormwater from the Sanitary District combined sewer. HWC worked with the Muncie
Sanitary District (MSD) to study the stormwater needs in the area in advance of the
road project.
The $1.3 million construction project was in part funded with an Indiana Crossroad
Community Matching Grant (CCMG) and contributions from the MSD.

HWC provided survey, design, bidding, and inspection services for the 26th
Street Repairs and Sidewalk Improvements.
The scope of the project included improving the existing concrete sidewalk, curb,
ADA ramps, and drives along 26th Street from Madison Street to Macedonia
Avenue. This project also included repairs to the roadway. The worst parts of
the road had full depth patching. The whole road received road fabric with a
wedge and level. 1.5” of surface was placed on top of this. The road fabric
was used to help prevent cracking from the existing concrete road underneath.
New sidewalk was run in front of the school at the intersection of 26th Street
and Macedonia to give students a better and safer walking area to and from
school. New loops were run for the light at the intersection of Madison Street
and 26th Street. Sod and seed were placed in areas that were disturbed by the
construction.
The roadway improvement project was part of the Community Crossings
Matching Grant (CCMG) Program. Construction cost was approximately
$800,000.

The Market Street Streetscape has become a
prominent public space in downtown New Albany.
Originally conceived as a streetscape project, the
existing extra-wide sidewalk allowed for a mini-plaza
space to develop between the existing parking row
and historic buildings. Infrastructure work included
new sidewalks, curbs, pavement, drainage, and
landscaping. Custom features included decorative
crosswalks, a landscaped median with District archway
feature, limestone pier light poles with black metal
logos, catenary lighting, and a lit photographic map
identity piece. Contemporary site furnishings, bright
blue lounge chairs, and linear wood picnic tables were
placed within the crushed limestone plaza space to
invite and encourage visitors and residents to linger
while enjoying the surrounding downtown happenings
and many recently restored historic facades.
HWC provided design and inspection services for this
project. Work was completed in the fall of 2019.
