Utilities & Geotechnical Considerations <br />UTILITIES <br />Since the Coal Line Trail is in a built-up area, there are several <br />• AEP Distribution <br />utilities inside the project limits. It is anticipated that new hydrants, <br />valves, and other minor water facilities will be replaced with <br />• AT&T <br />the trail improvements. Coordination with the City will determine <br />• ChoiceLight <br />whether those relocations will be done as part of the contract <br />• Comcast <br />or ahead of construction. AEP has overhead power poles with <br />underbuilds on the west side of College Street adjacent to the <br />• South Bend Sanitary <br />existing curb. If the proposed trail alignment creates a conflict, the <br />• South Bend Water Works <br />decision on whether AEP must relocate or bury those facilities can <br />have a major impact on the length and start of trail construction. <br />HWC's Lisa Robbins will engage all utilities early and often to <br />ensure the project has no delays due to utility conflicts. <br />Project Schedule <br />Stage I Plans Stage II Plans <br />(Aug. 2023) (Jan. 2024) <br />Notice to Proceed <br />PFC <br />(April 2023) (Sept. 2023) <br />GEOTECHNICAL <br />Terracon was involved in the previous phases of the <br />Coal Line Trail, and the soils were observed to be <br />sandy, loose, and granular in this part of the City <br />near Lincolnway. These granular soils should be <br />sufficient for subgrade preparation but could pose <br />dewatering challenges for storm sewer construction <br />if high groundwater levels are found to be present. <br />The INDOT standard HMA pavement section for non - <br />motorized vehicles is the planned pavement buildup <br />for the trail. <br />R/W Acquisition Stage III Plans, Utility <br />(Feb. 2024 through Coordination RFC Deadline Construction <br />2025) (Dec. 2024) (May 2025) (Fall 2025) <br />CE Approval Permit Approval Tracings Letting <br />(Feb. 2024) (Sept. 2024) (April 2025) (Aug. 6, 2025) <br />City of South Bend: PE Services for Coal Line Trail Phase 3 (Des # 2201235) in the La Porte District I HWC Engineering m <br />
