6PROJECT MANAGER PROJECT TEAM PROJECT APPROACH PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />PROJECT APPROACH <br />SJCA INC | CITY OF SOUTH BEND RFP | CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION | KENNEDY ACADEMY <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br />The value of employing construction inspection is to ensure that the project is <br />constructed safely according to design, remains compliant with INDOT standards, <br />encounters minimal public resistance, and requires little involvement from the City <br />Engineer. A thorough understanding of construction plans and specifications before <br />and during the project is essential to execute the design properly. If design questions <br />arise, we can directly consult the designer if preferred. Should any errors be identified <br />during the project, the City Engineer and Area Engineer will be immediately notified <br />for prompt resolution. Any changes to the design will require approval from both the <br />City and Area Engineers. <br />CHALLENGES <br />Each project presents unique challenges. This project impacts some neighborhoods <br />where children will be present. Mail and package delivery, as well as trash collection <br />and other city services, will be impacted. The <br />construction inspection team will need to <br />ensure that unnecessary impacts are not made <br />to vital services. As the neighborhoods will be <br />experiencing inconvenience for area residents, <br />maintenance of traffic will be very important and <br />could likely change very often. On this type of <br />project, it should be closely monitored to ensure <br />safety for the entire period. Additionally, the <br />project may require clearing the right-of-way <br />near homes and busy streets. SJCA will ensure <br />all tree removal is completed in a safe manner, <br />during the inactive season for the Indiana Bat. We will also ensure that the contractor <br />remains respectful to adjacent property owners by staying within right-of-way limits. <br />The items mentioned in this section should be addressed during the preconstruction <br />conference as well as the biweekly progress meetings. However, the construction <br />inspection team should work with the contractor daily to ensure that these items <br />remain at a minimum tolerable level for all involved. <br />Crosswalks to be restriped. <br />Obstructions in sidewalk checked <br />for ADA compliance. <br />Ramps to be replaced to ADA standards. <br />Sidewalks to be checked for ADA cross-slope. <br />Crosswalks to be placed where none exist.
