UNITED CONSULTING ■ CITY OF SOUTH BEND ■ CE SERVICES FOR SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL AT KENNEDY ACADEMY ■ DES# 2201237 8 <br />United is currently contracted by the City of South Bend to provide inspection services for the Safe Routes to School project at <br />Muessel Primary/Holy Cross School (INDOT Contract R-43174). Milestone Contractors holds the construction contract for this project with <br />INDOT. The Safe Routes to School at Kennedy Academy project, currently advertised, is located less than one mile from the Safe Routes to <br />School at Muessel Primary/Holy Cross School project. The contract schedule for Muessel primary/Holy Cross is: <br /> ⊲Earliest Date to Begin Work – June 8, 2026 <br /> ⊲Intermediate Completion Date – August 14, 2026 <br />WHY United? <br />If South Bend could coordinate the schedule with INDOT for the Safe Routes to School at Kennedy Academy project to fall within the <br />same timeline above as the Safe Routes to School at Muessel Primary/Holy Cross School project, it could provide multiple advantages: <br /> +There is an increased chance that Milestone will provide a competitive bid on the Kennedy Avenue project since they will be <br />scheduled to work on the Muessel Primary/Holy Cross School project. Milestone will already have crews mobilized in the area, <br />thus reducing the mobilization costs on this project. <br /> +United’s inspection team will already be in the area as well for the Muessel Primary/Holy Cross School project, thus potentially <br />reducing the inspection time needed for the Kennedy Academy project. Multiple crews for both projects can be managed by <br />United’s efficient project manager and inspector proposed for these projects. <br /> +Communication with the city can be maintained by one firm (United) instead of two firms. <br /> +Progress meetings can be held one after the other on the same day, reducing time for the city representatives <br />and United’s inspection team. <br />KENNEDY ACADEMY <br />HOLY CROSS SCHOOL <br />MUESSEL PRIMARY SCHOOL <br />PROJECT APPROACH <br />POTENTIAL COST SAVINGS
