Deputy Director’s Message

Welcome to the District 4 Business Plan for fiscal year

2015. I hope you enjoy reading the District’s

accomplishments over the last twelve months and also learn

how we have embraced improving our processes to help our

customers. All of the District’s accomplishments tie to one

of the statewide Critical Success Factors (CSF) (People,

System Condition, Operations, Safety, and Capital

Program.) The middle fold of the Business Plan (pages

14-15) is the CSF Dashboard for District 4 as of June 30,

2014.

There are feature articles highlighting District 4’s

accomplishments on statewide initiatives. These stories

highlight the Move Over Law, the first Ohio Turnpike

Infrastructure Commission (OTIC) project (I-271 widening

in Northern Summit County), the involvement in the

Turnpike Mitigation Program and the five employees and

teams who were awarded TOPS Awards in the ODOT

Statewide competition.

I would like to thank the continuing efforts of our Executive

Leadership Team, Planning & Engineering Administrator

Jim Kinnick, District Construction Administrator and

Acting Highway Management Administrator Dave Reich,

Business & Human Resource Administrator Mark Jackson,

Labor Relations Officer John Casalinuovo, Public

Information Officers Justin Chesnic and Brent Kovacs and

Legislative Liaison Linda Gabauer. Combined, the team has

over 100 years of public service experience and is committed

to our combined vision that ODOT and District 4 is Ohio’s

Premier Civil Engineering Government Agency.

Public Information

Closure Notification Brochures

In fiscal year 2014, the

Public Information Office

has distributed over 1,000

closure notification

brochures along several

construction projects

throughout District 4.

Closure notification

brochures are aimed at

informing businesses and

occasionally residents of an

upcoming construction

project in their area that

may have a complex

maintenance of traffic scheme which could impact freight or

customers getting to their business.

Each spring, Public Information Officers Justin Chesnic

and Brent Kovacs work with the Construction Department to

determine which construction projects require the additional

outreach. The schedule of the projects is then followed

closely throughout the spring and once construction is about

10 to 14 days away from beginning, closure notification

brochures are distributed to businesses along the project

limits.

In fiscal year 2014, brochures were handed out along the

following construction projects:

State Route 531 in Geneva-on-the-Lake

High/Main Street in the City of Cortland

State Route 44 in the Village of Mantua

State Route 172 in Perry Township, Stark County

I-680 and US 224 in Boardman Township, Mahoning

County.

Labor Relations

Labor Relations “Sub-committee Meetings Begin”

One of the main goals of the department is to improve labor

relations and communication between management and

bargaining unit employees. In 2013, Labor Relations Officer

John Casalinuovo alongside Bob Huey, Highway Technician

and Union Steward for District 4, began creating a Labor

Relations sub-committee which meets at the beginning of every

month. These meetings happen at different county maintenance

facilities, which allows for the county management teams to

attend and contribute to discussions.

The new meetings have increased the quality level of

communications between labor and management by providing

an expanded opportunity to meet with each other. This new

approach has proven to be successful as issues can now be

resolved quicker and easier.

The product of the improved communication process is

that the District has yet to receive a formal grievance since

the meetings have started.

Public Information

Public Information Demonstrate Simulator for Safety

The Public Information Office

continues to demonstrate the

Distracted Driver Simulator to

inform drivers about the dangers

of driving distracted or

intoxicated. In the past year , the

simulator visited over 3,000

drivers around District 4,

including stops at the Mahoning County Safety Expo,

Austintown Fitch High School, Champion High School,

Geneva High School, Kent State University, AMATS and

Sterling Jewelers.

Business & Human Resources

Spring Safety Chats Improve Safety in Counties

District 4 Health and Safety

Consultant Bob Pallo began

“spring safety chats” in 2014. The

purpose of the chats are to go over

safety tips and discuss every safety

incident that occurred in the last

year, specifically focusing on accidents during snow and ice

season.

During the chats, a dialogue was opened between the

county personnel and Pallo discussing what can be learned

from last year’s incidents and how they can be prevented this

year.

Peer-2-Peer Groups Implement Many Safety Changes

Peer-2-Peer is an employee program focusing on

changing the at-risk behavior of employees in order to

prevent/minimize occupational injuries and illnesses through

employees observing their peers. The program is based on

observations that support positive feedback instead of a

disciplinary approach. The program provides data for

determining the cause of at-risk behaviors, why they occur,

and provides for employee feedback.

In the spring of 2014, District 4 counties made many

suggestions on how to improve safety. Some of the

suggestions that were implemented included:

Reflective striping placed on flaggers’ stop paddles.

Reflective striping for hardhats.

Fabricated herbicidal spray trucks that allow employees

to stay inside the cab of the truck instead of spraying

near moving traffic.

Mandatory 24 hour training for any summer help

employees who plan to flag traffic in work zones.

6.

Business & Human Resources

District Safety Numbers Near Top in the State

With spring safety chats, Peer-2-Peer safety, tailgate talks

and many other safety plans in place, District 4 has an

impeccable safety record. As the graph below shows,

District 4 led the state in 2013 with the lowest injury num-

bers and finished second in the state in equipment accidents.

7.

Business & Human Resources

District 4 Recruits; Hires Many in 2013-14

District 4’s Human Resource section kept busy during

fiscal year 2014 by attending

13 recruiting outreach events

including eight career fairs

and five job fairs. Human

Resources also places a

heavy emphasis on Veteran

Outreach.

As a result of this

outreach 19 full time permanent employees were hired to

help the District reach its future state goal of 416 employees.

Also to help during the winter and summer seasons, over

150 seasonal employees and college interns were hired on a

part-time basis.

District 4 Training Opens

Facilities to Outside

Agencies

This past fiscal year, the

District 4 training office has

worked with local entities to

deliver LTAP courses to

provide some of the District

facilities for training for

outside agencies.

IT Improves Internal

Communications

District 4 Information

Technology kept busy this

past fiscal year by

completing network

equipment and backup

server upgrades. They also

helped launch the Kiosk

system to improve internal

communications.

8.

Business & Human Resources

Finance Balances Budget; Creates More Efficient System

The District’s budget was balanced nearly to perfection

for fiscal year 2014 as cost center managers expended 99.99

percent of the district’s $57.3 million budget.

Finance also

created a new

Accounts Receivable

System which sends

bills to drivers who

damage part of the

ODOT roadway

system in which they

have been cited for in a crash. Employees from Finance and

IT worked to develop a new computer program to speed up

the process. The new system removes the majority of paper

from the process so it can quickly and easily be completed

on a computer.

New Facilities Constructed in 2013-2014 Across District

A new outpost in North

Lima was completed in the

fall of 2013 which includes a

wash bay, three truck bays, a

break room and extra storage.

The district held a ribbon

cutting in October 2013 to

mark the opening of the $1.6 million facility in Mahoning

County.

Also, completed in the spring 2014 was a new 7,000 ton

salt storage facility located just off of SR 44 in Rootstown

Township in Portage County. This new facility will provide

snowplow drivers with a location to fill their trucks with salt

and have easy access to I-76.

Planning & Engineering

District 4 Highways and Bridges Rank Above the Mark

District 4 is responsible for maintaining 5,033 lane miles

of pavement. This includes 1,717 miles on the priority

system, 2,451 miles on the general system and 865 miles of

urban pavement. District 4 is currently exceeding its

pavement condition goals on all three systems.

On the priority system,

District 4 is currently at

96.5 percent acceptable

with a goal of 95 percent.

On the urban system,

District 4 is currently at

98.3 percent acceptable

with a goal of 95 percent.

On the general system, District 4 is at 98.7 percent

acceptable with a goal of 90 percent.

District 4 is responsible for 1,380 bridges with a total

deck area of over 11.6 million square feet. Included in this

total are 23 major bridges with a deck area of over 2.2

million square feet. District 4 is currently meeting its bridge

condition goals for General Appraisal, Floor Condition,

Wearing Surface Condition and Paint Condition. Projections

also show that District 4 will continue to exceed bridge

condition goals in all four categories through fiscal year

2020 and beyond.

Currently, 98.9 percent of the bridges in District 4 have a

General Appraisal rating of 5 or above, which exceeds the

District goal and the statewide average. Due to the number

of bridge projects currently programmed and under design,

including several large interstate structures, the percentage of

bridges with acceptable General Appraisal ratings is

projected to increase through fiscal year 2020.

Planning & Engineering

Safety Program Invests $15 Million Across District

In a continual effort to improve the safety of the traveling

public, District 4 utilizes the State’s Safety Analyst program

to analyze crash statistics on Ohio’s state and local highway

system. This program identifies high crash locations that are

further studied by the

District Safety Review

Team (DSRT). The

DSRT strives to identify

safety deficiencies and

recommend

countermeasures to

reduce the severity, frequency and rate of crashes. Projects

that contribute most to improving safety are considered for

funding and further development.

In fiscal year 2014, District 4 was successful in securing

funding for the following safety projects:

MAH-CR 151 South Ave. (Mahoning Co. Engineer)

SUM-CR 15 Arlington Rd./Waterloo Rd. (City of Akron)

SUM-Cedar/Exchange Corridor, (City of Akron)

SUM-SR 91/CR 66 Canton Road intersection

TRU-SR 5/SR 82 Median Cable Barrier installation

In fiscal year 2015, District 4 has received or is in the

process of applying for funding to initiate the development

process for the following safety projects:

ATB -SR 534 turn lane

MAH - I-680/SR 164/SR 625 widening/roundabout

POR - CR 18 (Tallmadge Rd.) widening/relocation

STA - SR 619 widening/roundabout

SUM - SR 59 (City of Akron) relocation/intersection

SUM - SR 241 (City of Green) widening

Planning & Engineering

District Continues to Push Through Projects Quickly

Within the Planning & Engineering Department, In-House

Design and Consultant Administration are responsible for

developing projects and ensuring their delivery in a timely

manner.

In fiscal year 2015, these two

departments have 82 projects

“locked” into their delivery

systems. These projects have an

estimated construction value of

$315 million.

By delivering these projects in a timely fashion, In-House

Design and Consultant Administration help District 4 meet

the pavement and bridge goals, improve safety, and reduce

congestion throughout our six counties.

Fiscal Year 2015 projects of note are:

MAH/TRU - I-80 widening $105 million

SUM - I -76/77 Spicer/Johnston $15 million

ATB - US 20 bridge replacement $9.5 million

STA - SR 800 widening $6.2 million

POR - SR 14 widening $4.8 million

Real Estate Continues to Help Push Projects Forward

The real estate section, as a whole, is currently managing

just under 500 right of way parcels for acquisition. Due to

such a large workload, District 4 has placed several projects

on the programmatic for selection of an acquisition

consultant. These include STA-43 widening (112 parcels);

SUM-76-Main/Broadway (103 parcels, 31 structures) and

STA-619-widening (85 parcels, 3 structures).

Construction

Construction Department Oversees 131 Projects

Over the past fiscal year,

the District 4 Construction

Department oversaw 131

projects with a total of

approximately $400 million.

These projects include

roadway resurfacing, bridge

replacements, culvert replacements, roadway widenings and

slope repairs. Some of these projects include:

I-90 reconstruction in Ashtabula County

I-271 reconstruction in Summit County

I-77 Resurfacing and bridge replacement project in

Stark County.

I-680/US 224 bridge replacement/intersection

modification in Mahoning County.

I-80/Mt. Everett Rd. bridge replacement in Trumbull

County.

District 4’s construction engineers and project managers

face some of the most diverse and difficult weather

conditions throughout the year,

including many rainy days and

temperature sensitive work in

the early fall. Beyond managing

their projects to make sure they

are completed on time and on

budget, construction project

personnel also inspect approximately 1,000 culverts in the

past fiscal year, which is vital to the culvert replacement

program. They also spend much of their time during the

winter months reviewing upcoming construction plans and

finalizing projects.

Statewide News

Turnpike Mitigation Program Kicks Off

In June, the department announced a $4 million

investment in transportation improvement projects near the

Ohio Turnpike over the next two years.

The Turnpike Mitigation

Program was started to help fund

projects within one mile of the

Turnpike. The projects include

bridge preservation, pavement

resurfacing, noise walls, drainage

repairs and other transportation improvements. In District 4,

there are five projects that total approximately $1.7 million.

Move Over Law Expands to Cover Roadway Workers

In December 2013, the Ohio General Assembly passed

Senate Bill 137, which was an expansion on Ohio’s “Move

Over Law.”

The new version of Ohio’s “Move Over Law” requires

motorists to slow down, and as conditions permit, move to

another lane when approaching construction, maintenance

and public utilities commission vehicles that are parked on

the roadside with flashing, oscillating or rotating lights.

Under the previous law, motorists were required to do so

only when approaching police and other emergency vehicles,

including tow trucks.

District 4 Highlights

District 4 Dominates TOPS Awards; Team Up ODOT

In 2014, District 4 won the most TOPS Awards out of

all 12 districts at Team Up ODOT. Team Up ODOT is a

day that recognizes ODOT and the departments’

accomplishments throughout the year.

The Team Innovation Award went to 12 different

District 4 employees for their work with the Culvert

Inspection Process Lean Team. Dave Griffith,

Transportation Engineer in Planning & Engineering

received the External Safety Innovation Award for his

work to improve roadway safety on local and state roads.

John Casalinuovo, Labor Relations Officer and Bob

Huey, District Steward, received the Communication

Award for improving communication between the OCSEA

and the District Labor Relations Officer. Bob Pallo, Safety

& Health Consultant, received the Internal Safety Award

for his work to improve safety within the District and the

Humanitarian Award went to Larry Poage and Ed Kane,

Highway Technicians from Mahoning County, for their

heroic work to save a stranded motorist in cold flood

waters.

In addition to winning

the most TOPS Awards,

District 4 hosted the most

booths and equipment

displays at Team Up

ODOT. They included the

Peer-2-Peer Safety

Awareness booth, sharing how the initiative has benefited

District 4. Les Beck shared how GPS and AVL could

reduce paperwork while tracking snowplows and Audra

Egan headed up a joint Continued on next page...

18.

District 4 Highlights

booth between Districts 4, 7, 8 and 11 that looked at

ODOT’s vegetation control tactics. Mahoning County

showed off their Tow Plow, Summit County displayed the

EPOKE salt Hopper, Trumbull County displayed their

Asphalt Stryker and Ashtabula County showed off their

snow and ice super truck.

First Jobs and Transportation Plan Project Starts

District 4 began their first OTIC (Ohio Turnpike

Infrastructure Committee) job in September as the widening

of I-271 between SR 8 and the Cuyahoga County line began.

This $50 million project is one of many across the state

funded by Governor John R. Kasich’s Jobs and

Transportation Plan which uses revenue generated from

bonds sold against future Ohio Turnpike toll revenue.

The two year project will widen I-271 in Macedonia from

four to six lanes and also widen a portion of SR 82 to

include a sixth lane. The project also includes a new I-271

northbound entrance ramp from SR 82 eastbound via

Freeway Drive and noise wall installation.

This project is only the beginning of work along the

heavily congested I-271 corridor as District 12 will begin a

widening project that spans from the Summit County line to

Miles Rd. During that project, portions of I-271 will be

widened up to five lanes in each direction. Both projects aim

to alleviate heavy congestion areas to improve traffic flow.

Highway Management

District Trucks Get Green Strobes; Reflective Chevrons

With the assistance of

the District Garage, all

six counties now have

green, amber and white

strobe lights on plow

trucks to improve

visibility. The garage also

assisted with putting

green and yellow reflective chevrons on all tandem trucks

and pickup trucks around the District. With these new

initiatives, ODOT vehicles around northeast Ohio can now

be seen more easily.

Camera Truck Assists District’s with Culvert Inspection

District 4’s camera truck has become a popular fixture

across Northeast Ohio. The truck comes equipped with three

TV monitors, cameras, a generator, water tank and air

compressor on the inside. The camera truck can inspect a

pipe from 8 inches to 48 inches in diameter. The operator

can push the camera through a pipe by hand or use a

motorized car that can

maneuver through the

pipe.

Before the new camera

truck, inspectors used a

small camera system that

needed to be carried from

pipe to pipe. It also had a small TV attached to the unit that

was hard to see. This new camera truck will increase the

number of pipes that can be inspected in a day.

This truck is shared by Districts 3, 4, and 11 and has the

ability to save video footage from the inspection camera to

be used at a later time.

20.

Highway Management

Improvements to Culvert Cleaning Equipment

The District received some new equipment for their

vactor jet truck, which is utilized to clean out culverts and

drainage outlets.

This past year, the District

received a spinner nozzle and

a chain cutter, which are both

pieces of equipment that can

help clear out clogged drains

or catch basins and also

quickly clear out culverts.

The vactor jet truck is vital in helping keep drainage

flowing along the District’s roadways to ensure roadways do

not flood, keeping them safe for the motoring public.

New Signs Grace Area Freeways

This past fiscal year has

been a busy one for District

crews. With the addition of

the new statewide 511 system,

a new sponsor for the

Freeway Service Patrol and

with the new “Slow Down

Move Over” law enacted, and

with speed limit changes occurring

across the state, our sign crew has been

busy installing new signs around the

District.

Since last summer, crews have placed

nearly 75 new signs across the District

alerting motorists of the new laws and

technology available to them.

21.

Ashtabula County

Ashtabula County introduces New Snow and Ice Marvel

Ashtabula County maintenance forces have created the

first of its kind snow and ice

fighting machine to battle

mother nature.

The truck includes double

wing plows, one on each

side and an under belly

plow. Between the three

plows, up to 20 feet of

pavement can be cleared in one pass. The truck also includes

a dual left and right spinner to apply salt to two locations of

the roadway and has a hopper capable of holding 15 tons of

salt. As the snowiest county in District 4, Ashtabula received

173 inches of snow in the 2013-2014 winter, while the work

force drove over 380,000 miles, used 47,000 tons of salt and

260,000 gallons of salt brine.

Pipe Crew Improves Culvert System Throughout County

The Ashtabula County Pipe Crew has been extremely

busy this past year replacing numerous pipes and culverts

along the state route

system.

Since the spring of

2014, the pipe crew has

replaced approximately

15 culverts or pipes

under the roadways.

During this work, no

road closure has been

longer than five calendar days. Routes around the county that

have had pipe replacements include SR 7, SR 45, SR 46, SR

167, SR 193 and US 322.

22.

Mahoning County

Mahoning County partners with Neighboring District

Mahoning County crews have partnered with District 11

this past year on three vital projects.

The first is with the use of

the Tow Plow, a snow and ice

removal marvel that can plow

and treat two lanes of traffic

at one time. The Tow Plow is

used along SR 11 in

Mahoning and Columbiana

Counties. Mahoning County

also uses it on I-76 and I-680 near Youngstown.

District 4 also teamed up with

Columbiana to pave a portion of

SR 7 in North Lima. Since

Mahoning County did not have

access to their own machine, their

neighbors to the south lent the

device and a few willing hands to

complete the paving work in just

one day.

Finally, Mahoning

County used District 11’s

Tunnel Mucker to clean out

several culverts. The

Tunnel Mucker is a remote

controlled mini-excavator

which can effectively clean

out culverts and standing

water under roadways

instead of using the vactor jet truck.

23.

Portage County

County Crews Build Parking Lot for Salt Storage Facility

Portage County maintenance crews spent a portion of this

past summer preparing

the new Rootstown salt

storage facility so that it

can be properly used for

snow and ice control

this winter.

Once the facility was

built by a contractor,

maintenance crews graded and then paved a portion of the

parking lot. The facility can hold 7,000 tons of salt and will

be used for trucks that service I-76 and other vital routes

around Kent, Brimfield, Rootstown and Randolph.

Portage County Ditches; Replaces Culverts

This past year, Portage County

employees have been busy ditching

area roadways and replacing culverts

to improve drainage.

In fiscal year 2014, crews ditched

approximately 31,000 feet of ditch line

along state routes, which is equivalent

to over five and one half miles. Crews

have also replaced five culverts under

roadways so far.

24.

Stark County

Stark County Pushes Strong Safety Record

Stark County employees have worked over 1,400 days

without any lost time injuries. The county prides itself on

using the right equipment while performing tasks and also

looking out for each other while working.

New Emergency Response Vehicle Created

Stark County has created

a new Emergency Response

Vehicle which consists of

flares, signs, cones and other

items needed for quickly

setting up work zones. With

this new truck, county crews

that arrive on the scene of an

accident can safely and

quickly set up a work zone to give assistance to emergency

responders so they can clear the zone safely with traffic

moved to the side.

The truck, which was a 1986 International with low

miles, was reconstructed by Stark County from the frame up

with the goal to make it easy for anyone in the county to

drive if an emergency occurs.

Stark County Implements GPS on Trucks

As part of a research project with the University of

Akron, Stark County has implemented the usage of GPS

(Global Positioning System)/AVL (Automated Vehicle

Locator) on their snow plows during the winter months.

The system is utilized to correctly monitor how much salt

is being used during snow and ice and to monitor time on

and off snow and ice routes. The county hopes to have the

entire fleet using GPS systems by the 2014-2015 winter

season.

25.

Summit County

Summit County Creates Herbicidal Spray Truck

Highway Technician

Marty Braun has

fabricated a new herbicidal

spray truck for use in

Summit County.

The truck consists of a

spray unit in a single axle

dump with a front and rear

mounted sprayer and is operated through the Pengwyn

control system. This new truck has sped up the process,

improved the accuracy of the application and created a safer

method for spraying.

Summit County Continues to Use EPOKE

Summit County crews continue to utilize the EPOKE salt

hopper to effectively treat

urban highways in the

county.

The big benefit with the

EPOKE is that it can treat

up to three lanes at one

time using a salt and brine

slurry mix. The county also

uses the EPOKE tanker

trailer, which can brine up to three lanes at a time.

In addition, three swap loader brine tanks have been

fitted with pumps and nozzles to treat multiple lanes of

pavement. All of this equipment helps the county cut back

on pre-treating time and miles put on the equipment.

26.

Trumbull County

Trumbull County Continues Crack Sealing Operation

In Trumbull County,

crack sealing and partial

depth repairs are two of the

core maintenance functions

that are used to prolong the

life of the road surface. In

fiscal year 2014, Trumbull

County cracked sealed

approximately 120 lane miles and used approximately

65,000 pounds of tar. Some of the routes to receive crack

sealing this year in Trumbull County include SR 5, SR 46,

SR 82, 87, US 422 and SR 534.

Pavement Stryker Helps Make Pavement Repairs

Trumbull County maintenance forces have begun using a

piece of equipment to make pavement repairs much easier.

County crews have begun utilizing a device called the

Pavement Stryker to eliminate some of the hand work. The

Pavement Stryker is an adjustable metal box which attaches

to the front of a Bobcat and allows pavement to be placed in

the exact location of the

area in repair. The

pavement can then be

rolled, eliminating any

raking that needs to occur.

The Stryker can save time

and make the operation

much safer.

In fiscal year 2014, Trumbull County used approximately

500 tons of asphalt to make partial depth pavement repairs to

local roadways. Routes that received the repairs include US

62, SR 87, SR 305, US 422 and SR 534.
