Jefferson Blvd. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear Board of Public Works and Selection Committee: <br />American Structurepoint is pleased to offer our qualifications for the City of South Bend’s Safe Routes to <br />School project, bringing proven experience with LPA/INDOT processes, neighborhood communication, <br />and pedestrian-focused infrastructure improvements across the region. <br />LPA/INDOT PROCESS EXPERTISE At American Structurepoint, we bring deep, hands-on expe- <br />rience navigating the Local Public Agency (LPA) and INDOT processes from start to finish. Our team is <br />well-versed in the regulatory steps, documentation requirements, and reporting standards necessary <br />to successfully deliver federally funded infrastructure projects. With decades of experience managing <br />projects of similar scope across Indiana, including multiple Safe Routes to School efforts, we understand <br />how to keep projects on schedule, maintain funding compliance, and guide our municipal partners <br />through each step of the process with confidence. <br />RESPONSIVE COMMUNICATION IN URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS We understand that a <br />successful project doesn’t just come down to construction, it depends on the trust and comfort of the <br />people who live in the community. Our team has extensive experience working within neighborhoods <br />and urban corridors, including managing traffic impacts, maintaining access, and providing consistent <br />communication with residents. We recognize how important it is to notify property owners about <br />construction activity—particularly when their access or driveway may be impacted. Our approach <br />ensures that every stakeholder feels informed and respected throughout construction. <br />LOCAL KNOWLEDGE + CONTINUED COMMITMENT American Structurepoint is proud to <br />maintain an active presence in the South Bend region. We are currently delivering work for nearby <br />communities and have supported similar pedestrian and accessibility improvements across the state. <br />Our previous design work within South Bend, as well as ongoing efforts at the local treatment plant and <br />surrounding areas, reflects our commitment to improving safety and mobility for Hoosier communities. <br />We’re eager to build on this momentum and bring the same dedication, technical knowledge, and local <br />familiarity to this Safe Routes to School project. <br />We look forward to the opportunity to support the City of South Bend in delivering a successful, <br />community-centered project that enhances safety, accessibility, and long-term value for local residents. <br />Sincerely, <br />American Structurepoint, Inc. <br />May 27, 2025 <br />John J.
