PROJECT APPROACH

PROJECT APPROACH

BUDGET & SCOPE DEFINITION

The first and most important step in a successful project is to properly identify the goals and scope of the project. As soon as a potential project is identified Shrewsberry will meet with the Vincennes District Project Manager to discuss what deficiencies the project is intended to solve. This early knowledge will allow Shrewsberry to craft design alternates that meet the projects needs while minimizing the overall project cost. Each design alternate that Shrewsberry develops will be accompanied by an estimate of probable construction cost so that accurate decisions can be made. Shrewsberry will update the detailed estimate of construction cost during every phase of the project. This will be compared to the overall project budget to ensure that the project cost does not exceed the available funds.

SCHEDULE

Shrewsberry is committed to exceeding the required project schedule. As part of the initial project coordination with INDOT staff, Shrewsberry will identify the critical path items and ,in conjunction with Vincennes District staff, develop a gameplan to ensure that all potential roadblocks to successful project delivery are identified as early as possible. As soon as potential roadblocks are identified Shrewsberry will develop a project specific plan as to how the roadblocks will be mitigated.

COMMUNICATION PLAN

Proactive, continuous and collaborative communication with the Vincennes District Project Manager will be a key factor in the successful delivery of your project. As part of our standard operating procedures for a project, the Shrewsberry Team sends out monthly project status reports to all stakeholders involved in the project. These status reports keep all parties updated with the latest progress throughout the assessment and design processes.

NEPA DOCUMENTS The Shrewsberry team is successfully experienced in conducting the procedures outlined in the INDOT Categorical Exclusion Manual that are necessary and required to prepare NEPA documentation that will satisfy INDOT and FHWA requirements. We provide an effective and consistent project approach that will carry each assignment through to completion.

The skills and talents of Shrewsberry team members are diverse and have been utilized across a wide reach of projects. We have assembled a team of qualified and experienced environmental professionals committed to providing the INDOT Vincennes District with quality NEPA documentation, wetland mitigation, ecological, permitting, Section 106/Historical Archaeological, karst, and hazardous materials which will produce exceptional deliverables. Angela Kattmann, LPG will be the discipline lead for this portion of the project. She has led numerous INDOT environmental projects using her detail-oriented approach and engaging communication style.

SURVEY The Shrewsberry team will begin survey and title work as soon as the project notice to proceed is issued. Completing the title research as early as possible is of high importance as invalid or out of sequence right-of-way documentation can cause unexpected schedule delays to projects. These issues will be identified early so that there are no surprises at a later date.


PROJECT APPROACH

ROADWAY, TRAFFIC, AND BRIDGE DESIGN

The Shrewsberry team offers experience in a wide range of transportation projects, from intersection improvements to roundabout design to new interchange construction. Shrewsberry has the knowledge and experience to develop construction plans for any level of project complexity. Shrewsberry always has an eye towards both schedule and budget. Our team will implement Open Roads criteria to the maximum extent possible in order to minimize construction costs.

Maintenance of traffic on projects can vary from full closures to multi phased construction. Shrewsberry will analyze each project location individually to develop the appropriate construction scheme.

PRACTICAL DESIGN (OPEN ROADS)

The Shrewsberry Team is committed to providing designs that are cost effective, sustainable, and consistently achievable based on the needs required. Saving money while limiting our presence on the environment is a win‐win situation and is how we approach any project that is assigned to us. We understand the foundation of Open Roads is firmly established in four principles that, when applied at the project level, create the need for productive dialogue and debate of traditional approaches to transportation project decision‐making.

These four principles are:

Four Principles

Sound Judgment

Design Up

Right Scope

Safer Focus

SOUND ENGINEERING JUDGMENT

Utilize common sense and think outside the box for more practical solutions

“DESIGN UP” PHILOSOPHY

Start with the baseline condition and “design up” from there

GET THE SCOPE RIGHT

Reduce “scope creep” by designing to the need of the project

SAFER SYSTEM FOCUS Focus the design of the project to the corridor


PROJECT APPROACH

PAVEMENT DESIGN

As demonstrated by our Pavement Design On-Call Contract, Shrewsberry team members have an in-depth understanding of current INDOT processes with respect to pavement analysis. Without any learning curve, we are prepared to be productive from the onset of notice-to-proceed, thus minimizing costs for the design effort.

As a standard operating procedure, we maximize the flexibility allowed in design standards to provide construction cost savings by examining a full range of typical pavement sections and specifications.

UTILITY COORDINATION

Once assigned a project Shrewsberry immediately contacts the utilities within the project area to determine what impacts the utility will have to the project. Shrewsberry believes that you can never begin coordination with the affected utilities too early. On each project we work on Shrewsberry “Teams” with the utility companies to develop design alternatives which could possibly avoid costly and timely utility relocations. By involving the utility early in the process we are able to achieve more ”buy-in” leading to a more efficient an collaborative utility coordination process.

QUALITY CONTROL

Shrewsberry has developed an extensive quality control / quality assurance plan in order to assure that the highest quality plans are delivered to INDOT. This quality management process includes reviews that are documented and performed utilizing the following approach:

Quality Control by a Senior Engineer for deliverables throughout the execution of the project. The designated Senior Engineer for Quality Control will not otherwise be involved in the project.

Quality Control by the project team at milestones as assigned and scheduled. This activity will be assigned to and performed by Shrewsberry’s designated Project Manager.

Quality Control by an independent peer review team not involved with the work at milestones assigned and performed by a Senior Engineer that is otherwise not involved in the design of the project.

COST CONTAINMENT AND INNOVATIVE IDEAS

Cost containment is best achieved by having a properly defined scope of work as early as possible in the project design cycle. By defining the scope early, budgetary challenges can be defined and mitigated before the project is too far along. Shrewsberry will work with INDOT to develop well defined scopes of work so that accurate preliminary budgets can be ascertained. Shrewsberry will also update the project estimates at each key delivery so that the project budget is always well defined.


PROJECT APPROACH

Management Approach

Shrewsberry’s project team believes that any successful project begins with coordination and communication with the INDOT project manager. This communication lays out the road map for how the project will get completed on time, within budget, and with quality.

Shrewsberry sends out monthly project status reports to the INDOT project manager on every project that we work on. These status reports keep the project manager updated with the latest progress throughout the design process and make sure that all action items are clearly delineated and completed.

Our clients tell us that our communication and service style are differentiators for us. We focus on identifying goals and needs then work diligently to see those items achieved. We look forward to working with you and further demonstrating our unique approach and comprehensive style on this on-call contract.

Regardless of the client or project, Shrewsberry is committed to providing the highest quality service. Your vision is our focus.

SHREWSBERRY’S INTEGRATED APPROACH

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Shrewsberry has an extensive quality control / quality assurance plan which assure that the highest quality plans are delivered to INDOT.

Schedule

Shrewsberry is committed to exceeding the required project schedule. As part of the initial project coordination with INDOT staff, Shrewsberry will identify the critical path items and develop a plan to ensure that they do not become roadblocks to successful project delivery.

Budget

Shrewsberry prepares detailed estimates of construction cost during the scoping phase and will compare it to the overall project budget to ensure that the project cost does not exceed the available funds. As project development progresses Shrewsbury continuously updates the project estimate to make sure that cost containment is properly achieved.

Cost Containment

Cost containment is best achieved by having a properly defined scope of work as early as possible in the project design cycle to mitigate any potential budget challenges. Shrewsberry will work with INDOT to develop well defined scopes of work and update project estimates at each key delivery so that accurate preliminary budgets can be ascertained.


RELEVANT PAST PERFORMANCE

INDOT I‐69, Section 5, Bloomington to Martinsville:

Shrewsberry was responsible for multiple packages within this $350M Public‐Private‐Partnership (P3) project, including the design and coordination of Tapp Road Roundabout Interchange. This project was completed on an accelerated schedule and required innovation for both hydraulic design and roadway design.

Shrewsberry’s involvement in the coordination between IFA/INDOT, local stakeholders and the Contractor / Developer allowed for Open Road cost‐savings ideas to be generated by the use of design exceptions for the ramp designs and side slopes.

The Tapp Road Interchange is one of only three roundabout interchanges along the I‐69 corridor between Evansville and Indianapolis and will utilize detention ponds to reduce the runoff and increase water quality.

INDOT US 231 and CR 700 South

– LaPorte District: Shrewsberry was contracted to design an intersection improvement project south of the City of Rensselaer, Indiana. The existing US 231 did not have an existing left turn along northbound and southbound US 231 and had inadequate intersection sight distance for vehicles turning on to US 231 from CR 700 S. Due to these issues, there have been numerous vehicle crashes. The project required the existing US 231 alignment to be shifted to the east to improve sight distance and provide the width necessary to add a left turn lane. The project was budgeted for over $1M, but through the Open Roads Design, Shrewsberry and the LaPorte District identified ways to reduce the construction cost to an estimated $550,000.

S.R. 13 over Kokomo Grain,

INDOT Fort Wayne: Shrewsberry performed Bridge Inspection and prepared the Bridge Inspection Report for this programmed bridge rehabilitation. The eight-span was in poor condition due to infiltration of water and chlorides. As part of the Inspection Report, Shrewsberry evaluated potential rehabilitation options as well as replacement alternatives at this site. Analysis showed replacement of this bridge with a completely new single-span structure to be a better economic option than superstructure rehabilitation. With this recommendation, Fort Wayne District officials were able to convert money that was programmed for rehabilitation into funding for a bridge replacement. Shrewsberry provided project management of the bridge design and coordination with the District. In addition, Shrewsberry performed the Open Roads analysis at Stage 3 of the design to provide a potential cost savings of nearly $300,00

INDOT US 6 and Meridian Road

– LaPorte District: Shrewsberry was contracted to design an intersection improvement project along US 6 in the INDOT LaPorte District. The existing intersection did provide enough storage for the left turn movement along US 6. Shrewsberry’s coordination and communication with the LaPorte District facilitated the ability to minimize impacts to the utilities, adjacent park and business owners by maximizing the use of the existing pavement.

Through close coordination with the LaPorte District it is estimated that the project construction cost will be reduced by nearly half or nearly $400,000.
