(APEX) team is excited about the opportunity to work with the City of South Bend to help deliver this important Safe Route <br />to School construction project and hope that we can be considered to serve as your consultant on the construction inspection service for this City of South Bend project. <br /> <br />The City of South Bend plans to construct sidewalks through the safe route to school program to serve the children or students who walk or bicycle to Our Lady of <br />Hungary Elementary School. The project is located on the existing perimeter roads surrounding and adjacent to the school, which consist of Olive Street on the west, <br />Indiana Avenue on the north, Franklin Street/Lafayette Street on the east and Ewing Avenue on the south. <br /> <br />Project Team APEX will be a prime consultant, and responsible for all construction inspection activities for this project. The inspection team will be led by project <br />Supervisor/Project engineer, Mr. Cody Hepler, with support from two consulting firms, who will be assisting APEX with their construction inspection services. These <br />two partnering firms include Etica Group, Inc. and Abonmarche Consultants, Inc. Etica Group, Inc. will be served as our DBE consulting firm for the project. APEX <br />and Abonmarche will perform a majority of the construction inspection for the project. Our team has over 45 years combined construction inspection experience. <br /> <br />The Right Qualifications. Your project is our top priority. The APEX Team is committed to this project and has the necessary qualifications and experienced staff to <br />provide you with an exceptional quality construction inspection service. Our project engineer/supervisor, Cody Hepler is highly knowledgeable and has extensive <br />experience in overseeing the construction of bridges, roads, trails, sidewalks, and ADA curb ramp projects. Both of our subconsultants, Abonmarche and Etica Group, <br />have great experience and a reputation in construction inspection on similar projects. <br /> <br />Project Familiarity. The project is located in the west side of the City of South Bend. Mr. Hepler has visited and reviewed the project site to become familiar with <br />the project. Abonmarche is a local consulting firm who is familiar with the project and will be a great benefit to the project. <br /> <br />We believe our knowledge of this project, along with the past experience of Mr. Cody Hepler and his team members will enable the APEX Team to complete the <br />project to meet your needs and exceed your expectations. We are ready to work on this project. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Nana Opoku, PLS, Andrew Scheribel, PE <br /> President Engineering Manager <br /> nana@apexsurveying.net andrew@apexsurveying.net
