City of South Bend <br />Coal Line Trail Phase II <br />October 26, 2021 <br />Page 1 <br />October 26, 2021 <br />Dear Mr. Silveus: <br />Trail projects can appear to be a walk in the park to those of us in the engineering field, but <br />to the many families and businesses adjacent to the project that must adjust their lives during <br />construction, it becomes inconvenient and frustrating without effective communications <br />and coordination by an experienced construction team. The City of South Bend’s Coal Line <br />Trail, Phase II project will benefit from a construction management team who can bring <br />solid communication skills, recent trail experience, seamless construction coordination, and <br />familiarity with the project area. <br />Burke has experience working for the City on many different challenging construction inspection <br />projects. Our team knows and understands your process. This knowledge, experience, and <br />longstanding established relationship provides us with the necessary tools to avoid gaps or <br />missteps in the construction management process. <br />Our proposed subconsultant, Advanced Engineering Services, completes our construction <br />management team. AES is a registered MBE/DBE and they will be a key member to our team <br />by providing crucial material testing and geotechnical support. Our commitment to detail and <br />strong communications has afforded us a reputation as a professional team that can address <br />nearly any construction issue, even an accidental discovery like the one found on the Boland <br />Trail project. <br />We applaud your efforts to improve the trail connectivity in South Bend and we look forward <br />to working with you during the construction of this project. Thank you in advance for your <br />consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jon D.
