They know INDOT standards and procedures and understand the thoroughness a good inspection team requires. Nick is committed to keeping you up to date on project progress, managing daily, weekly, and monthly paperwork all the while keeping it current to generate regular estimates, efficiently track quantities and materials, and proactively mitigate or avoid potential issues before they affect the schedule or your budget. He will be available on-site to answer questfons and ensure contractor work complies with specificatfons. Nick will be responsive to you and the contractor. With a support team rooted in public service and considerable success managing and inspectfng LPA and INDOT projects, Nick is well-positioned to represent the City of South Bend as an extension of your team in the field. Nick Smith Project Manager Dave Barich, PE, PS Constructfon Manager CITY OF SOUTH BEND: COAL LINE TRAIL (PHASE IIB) 2 WE UNDERSTAND YOUR PROJECT The 400-foot-long improvement for Phase IIB connects the Riverside Trail on the west side of the St. Joseph River, traverses east on the former 1926 railroad bridge over the river, and connects to Coal Line Trail Phase II — a new 12-foot-wide HMA shared-use path along the old rail corridor from North Shore Drive to Angela Boulevard where it completes the linkage with East Bank Trail. The abandoned railroad bridge rehabilitatfon will replace rail tfes with a concrete deck, use pneumatfcally-placed mortar and inject epoxy to address the pier deterioratfon (spalls and cracking), improve the scour protectfon using Class I riprap, reconstruct beam seats, install elastomeric bearings, partfally remove and embed new reinforcing steel, and replace end bents to restore the structure’s useful life and strengthen the platiorm carrying the trail over the river. Cleaning and paintfng steel will also considerably aid these efforts. PROJECT APPROACH COAL LINE TRAIL PHASE II RIVERSIDE TRAIL Riverwalk Trail Connection The structure pavilion, which is located on the decorative sidewalk west of the bridge, will be a great focal point of this project. With its framing and roofing requirements, close oversight of the contractor is critical. Monitor containment for sandblasting & painting bridge over St. Joseph River Waterway MOT is necessary to channelize any traffic away from on-going construction & pier debris Coordinate with Phase II for connection between both projects COAL LINE TRAIL PHASE IIB CITY OF SOUTH BEND: COAL LINE TRAIL (PHASE IIB) 3 PROJECT APPROACH KEY CHALLENGES & SUCCESS STRATEGIES - SCHEDULE & CONSTRUCTABILITY TECHNICAL EXPERTISE & UNDERSTANDING PIERS & ABUTMENTS » Verify removal areas & sound concrete » Verify new reinforcing steel – place horizontal bars on the inside or outside vertical bars » Verify epoxy-injected crack repair & shot-crete locations above the ordinary high water mark DECK CONSTRUCTION – DECK POUR DRY RUN » Verify reinforcement placement is according to plans » Hold dry run with finish machine – verifies deck depth & checks reinforcing steel cover depth is greater, but not significantly more than minimum » Verify pour sequence – ensures proper beam deflection PEDESTRIAN RAIL, LIGHTING, SIGNAGE, & AMENITIES » Verify connection details & conduit placement » Verify placement & foundation construction » Coordinate on delivery of stored materials & amenities TRAIL & APPROACHES » Verify subgrade meets compaction requirements » HMA trail connection at Riverside Trail requires review & approval of QC/QA plan » Field check the Decorative Sidewalk connection at North Shore Drive before placing concrete to ensure ADA compatibility at the sidewalk & the curb ramp » Verify smooth transitions between projects & existing trail UTILITY COORDINATION » Utilities are not expected to be affected by the proposed construction. However, connecting the drinking fountain feature will require close coordination with Liz Horvath, City of South Bend, in order to keep the job on schedule SITE FURNISHING & DETAILS » Nick will ensure a licensed land surveyor/engineer performs the layout of the decoratfve sidewalk, as plans require » Limestone seat wall, railings, ornamental lights, bollards, bike racks, drinking fountain, trash receptacles, etc. will require shop drawings, mock-ups, submittals & approvals depending on the item » Nick will work with the City on any substftutes & certfficatfons and confirm details with contract documents The special provisions include language highlighting the environmental restrictions and necessary path to request a time and methods waiver, thus protecting the City against contractor claims for additional compensation related to building cofferdams or utilizing a causeway. It is clear this work is necessary to perform the scour protection measures and the costs should be included in the submitted bid versus requesting a change order after the fact. Attention to the permit restrictions at the time of bidding will save the City money and mitigate avoidable schedule delays. PROJECT ELEMENTS Many factors lead to constructing a successful multi-use path. Our team delivers quality and avoids potential delays and increased costs by knowing what to look for before operations begin. Here we have outlined major project elements most critical for success: CHALLENGE: IDNR Permit Restriction #3, #6, and #23 raises constructability red flags. UNDERSTANDING: The permit restricts work in the waterway March 15 – June 15, July 15 – November 30, and the use of cofferdams, causeways, etc.; the contractor must expect to request waivers and plan ahead to complete the project on time. STRATEGY: If the City’s design team has not already initiated these discussions, Nick and his team will meet with IDNR on-site to facilitate the modification request, open the communication lines, and coordinate between the City, designer, and IDNR. CHALLENGE: Lead times for the elastomeric bearing pads and decorative features. UNDERSTANDING: Continue to keep INDOT and the LPA up to date on any potential delays to lead time or testing. Based on the current schedule, there should be no concerns. However, we have seen some lead times up to 52 weeks on certain items. STRATEGY: We will discuss potential stumbling blocks up front with the contractor and, if possible, before the pre-construction meeting. Recognizing these hurdles and how they impact the construction sequence is a critical attribute our team possesses. We will work to ensure these elements are moving as required. CITY OF SOUTH BEND: COAL LINE TRAIL (PHASE IIB) 4 COMMUNICATION & PROJECT PARTNERS Nick understands the importance of engaging the local partners, contractor, utilities, and the public. By keeping open lines of communication and being accessible, Nick will keep the City of South Bend and project stakeholders fully informed and, most importantly, up to date on project progress, schedule, key dates, and project milestones. OUR SUCCESS IS REPEATEDLY ACHIEVED BY » Pre-Construction Kick-Off Meeting – fostering critical project interactions & setting the tone for on-going communication » Regular Progress Meetings with the City, contractor, subcontractors, utilities, stakeholders, & permitting representatives – emphasizing project schedule, budget, work quality, & coordination » Reviewing schedules for work completed, remaining work, schedule look ahead, material procurement needs, show drawing reviews, permits, coordination, & potential delays » Emphasizing contractor accountability to support & maintain budget & schedule » Documenting budget changes & forecasting anticipated final budget » Addressing & documenting work quality concerns or issues for corrective actions » Authoring & distributing meeting minutes & project status reports » Reviewing & documenting permitting coordination requirements » Facilitating one-on-one meetings with all stakeholders as necessary » Responding immediately to calls, questions, & messages as they arise » Being available 24/7 PROJECT APPROACH Communication Coordination Proactive Construction Inspection Approach » Comprehensive project knowledge » Thorough documentatfon » Proactfve solutfons = cost containment Nick will oversee day-to-day construction issues and direct the activities of the inspection team. His team will also review plans, specifications, and construction methods with the contractor, provide supervision and administration of field work, and offer guidance and technical expertise to ensure construction adheres to plans, budget, and schedule. The riprap installatfon will be no small task. Normally riprap is installed so the top of the riprap is level with the existfng riverbed, as proposed at Piers 2, 3, 6, and 7, which requires excavatfon of approximately three feet. Existfng pier foundatfons could be completely or partfally submerged. Placing riprap at unknown conditfons will be handled on a case- by-case basis and direct oversight will occur. With the contractor’s superintendent, Nick will thoroughly discuss their plan to safely access Piers 4 and 5 for dumping riprap per the plans.

As any project in an urban area, the project had challenges. Dale was able to work with the contractor, City, and other stakeholders to foresee potentfal problems and adjust schedules and the order of work to eliminate or mitfgate them. They completed the project on-time and within budget. PROJECT WORK INCLUDED KEY CHALLENGES & SUCCESS STRATEGIES Managing the Critical Path On this project, managing the critfcal path meant dealing with a difficult contractor. Dale notfced early on that the contractor was not stfcking to the schedule and causing delays to the tfmeline. Dale stepped up to the plate and forced accountability from the contractor for the schedule, budget, and his work quality. He worked with the City, INDOT, and contractor to address the contractor’s issues and concerns to move the project along. It was Dale’s daily and persistent communicatfon with the contractor that led the job to be completed within budget and on schedule. Understanding the Project’s Impacts When Dale notfced drainage issues along the trail, he worked with the contractor and City to include adjustments to the grade of the trail and milling and resurfacing of the adjacent roadway to provide better overall drainage. Coordination with Utilities to Ensure Smooth Relocations Dale adjusted the alignment of the trail in the field to reduce the impact to utflitfes and obstructfons, to ensure the project contfnued successfully. Maintaining Traffic to Minimize Disruption to Local Residents & Business Owners By closing lanes when absolutely necessary, Dale was able to was able to minimize impacts to the travelling public. “Next time we need an inspector, please assign Dale Wills.
