Project Approach

» Open Roads Evaluation• Provide summary of cost savings opportunities to INDOT Project Manager• Document final outcome of evaluation and incorporate into project

» Project Communication• Return phone calls/emails within 24 hours• Document verbal decisions and forward to file• Design issue resolution within 5 working days

Field Design Survey. Hanson’s surveying team member Durham Engineering, Inc. has been brought on in order to expedite our surveying efforts. Having multiple crews will enable Hanson to cover multiple sites in order to begin the design phase of each project. If applicable, and to embrace innovation, Hanson will utilize our Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) - also known as a drone - to collect the field data under this contract. The use of the UAS will provide for a faster, safer and more economical way to gather the data during the survey. Hanson would welcome the opportunity to show our UAS capabilities on any of the projects under this on call project development services contract.

Soils Investigation. Hanson has teamed with CTL Engineering (CTL) to provide geotechnical services for this on call contract. CTL brings a wide range of geotechnical engineering and materials testing, as well as experience and geological knowledge within the Greenfield District. CTL is staffed and equipped to provide flexibility to meet the Greenfield District needs. The geotechnical engineering staff of CTL will provide a thorough analysis and evaluation of subsurface conditions and interpret them into design criteria for foundation and earthwork systems.

Environmental. Hanson’s environmental team, which includes Metric Environmental, will conduct early coordination with resource agencies to help determine the potential impacts of the alternates for a particular project, survey land use and natural habitat, research archaeological records and socio-economic data, perform investigation and delineations of wetlands and Area of Potential Effect. Preparation of an Environmental Document will quantify impacts to the natural, as well as the human environment, and will consider the cumulative effect of the construction of an improvement project. A Waters Report will be prepared for projects requiring that level of analysis. The Hanson team will provide any wetland and stream mitigation that may be required, either through the acquisition, design, and construction of a mitigation site, or by the purchase of credits at mitigation banks.

Under this project development services contract, the Greenfield District staff will assign projects to Hanson on an as-needed basis. Varying degrees of project definition are anticipated. For some projects, only a need may be identified, while for others, a detailed scope may be clearly defined. Upon assignment, Hanson will identify the activities that will be required to progress the project to construction. A fee will be proposed for those activities, and an agreement will be negotiated. Anticipated activities may include some or all of the following:

Project Management. Once a project has been identified, Hanson will move quickly to assemble a team that uniquely matches the required engineering disciplines needed to bring success to the project. Project Manager Rob Zolcak, P.E. will be responsible for assembling the team. Rob’s past experience involving major INDOT projects (SR 641 and US 231) will benefit him in this process. With over 400 engineers and technical staff, Hanson has a vast knowledge base and portfolio of past projects to draw upon for reference. While there is no one-size-fits-all, Hanson knows the process to move INDOT projects along technically, while being cost-effective. The Hanson team will utilize INDOT’s Open Roads program to incorporate innovative, yet practical, cost saving ideas to provide the best overall value given the context of the project.

Scope Development. Hanson will study alternates to determine the most economical means to address the need, while remaining appropriate for the context of the surroundings. Our team will gather all existing information needed to verify and ultimately evaluate existing conditions. Hanson will provide the project description, cost, schedule, and design criteria, and will identify unique issues to be addressed in later phases, such as environmental impacts, utility conflicts or right of way constraints. Safety, capacity, and operations analysis will be conducted identifying the optimal solution. Hanson will interview legitimate project stakeholders to learn their desires, to gather any information that has been assembled, and to gain an understanding of the thought and effort that has already been given to the project. The scope will be finalized only after receiving the client concurrence. It is critical that the scope is complete and correct so that the associated project costs and schedule can be accurately estimated and INDOT’s program can be managed.

Communication Plan. One of the key factors to all successful projects is the communication within the project team. The Hanson Team’s Project Manager will develop an effective relationship with the INDOT Project Manager through frequent communication. Hanson will meet with the INDOT Project Manager on a regular basis by means of conference calls, face to face conversations, or through video conferencing. The following are communication methods which will be implemented:



Project Approach

Utility Coordination. Hanson’s Rob Zolcak is certified through INDOT’s Utility Coordination Services and has performed these duties on INDOT’s SR 641 project, as well as numerous other local projects. If utility coordination is assigned as a part of the scope of services, Hanson will identify and contact all utilities in the area of a project. Once the facilities of the utilities are identified, impacts to those facilities will be determined in conjunction with the utilities themselves. Any avoidance of relocation possible while still meeting the purpose and need of the project and applicable design standards would be applied. Those relocations that are unavoidable would then be mitigated and relocation plans and schedules would be requested, reviewed and permits requested for relocation. Hanson will develop a master relocation plan, and remain on-point throughout the physical relocation process.

Quality. The Hanson Corporate Quality Assurance Program (the Program) provides the means by which the quality of our services is achieved and verified. The Program is based on the basic requirements of American National Standard AMSE NQA-1, modified by Hanson to focus on the engineering and scientific services offered to our clients in both private and government sectors.

The Program provides a planned and systematic approach for the accomplishment of work consisting of five elements or components that include: planning, training, performance, verification and corrective action. As illustrated below, the input into the system consists of Client Requirements and the output is the client’s Expected Product. The activities of each element are documented in records to provide evidence of implementation and completion.

Roadway, Bridge and Traffic Design and Preparation of Construction Contract Documents. Once project scope is clearly and completely defined, the Hanson team will develop preliminary and then final design and construction plans and documents. Hanson will apply INDOT’s centralized design standards, while also satisfying the unique circumstances, preferences, and priorities of the District and other legitimate project stakeholders. Plans will be reviewed and adjusted for constructability. The job will be comprehensively designed, detailed, specified, quantified and estimated. Project scope, cost, and schedule will be maintained through the design process. Our roadway design staff, bridge team and traffic engineers will work closely with INDOT drawing upon our experience to satisfy project goals and budget of each task order.

Right of Way Services. Hanson’s in-house staff will prepare right of way plans, parcel plats, legal descriptions, transfer documents and will perform right of way staking if necessary. Title and Encumbrance Reports will be provided by Hanson’s subconsultant Dodd Title Corporation. Though not listed as a required service within the RFP, Project Management for Acquisition Services, Appraisals and Review Appraisals, Negotiation/Buying and Relocation services can be provided by prequalified teammates as subconsultants to Hanson.

Permitting. Team member Metric Environmental will identify the needed permits and make applications for those permits as required, based on project type and demand, and in accordance with all NEPA related regulations and guidelines. Potential permits could include IDNR Construction in a Floodway Permit; 401/404 Permits, Rule 5 Permit and FAA Incursion Permit, if needed. Metric has worked with INDOT permitting staff and the resource agencies and has an understanding of their processes.

Construction Phase Services. Hanson is committed to standing behind our design plans. After the final plans are submitted and the letting of contracts with contractor selection is complete, it is Hanson’s charge to be available to answer questions or further interpret our design plans. Hanson stands ready as an INDOT partner to assure the DOT’s facilities are built to plan and within standard specifications. Hanson has worked closely with INDOT Project Engineers and Project Managers on their projects and looks forward to that continued project involvement, knowing the importance of response time to schedule and budget.



Project Approach

Hanson has completed several projects under a previous similar Project Development Services agreement. We understand that assignments made under these agreements are often projects with difficult circumstances, such as emergency repair or replacement projects, or projects that have been partially developed by others and need to be completed quickly due to schedule slippage. The Hanson team will quickly assess the assignment, negotiate fee reasonably and fairly, and ‘hit the ground running’ to provide all the services each project requires. On these challenging, fast-paced projects, it is critical to have diverse services provided by local in-house staff. Hanson’s Indiana personnel provide scoping, traffic, environmental, land survey, road and bridge design, right of way engineering, land acquisition management, and construction observation services. And, although staff from Hanson’s other office locations will not routinely be involved in these assignments, when special expertise is needed, they can be called upon. Our local consultant firm teammates fill the few roles that Hanson does not, and also add depth of resources for very large assignments. INDOT has a budgeted program to manage, and must get the most from their available funds to benefit their customers to the greatest extent possible. That charge is therefore Hanson’s goal.

Innovative IdeasHanson’s engineers have consistently provided effective solutions for challenging projects. Our project portfolio and staff resumes illustrate several examples of “cost-saving” measures and innovation. Hanson makes it a priority to “right –size” projects so that limited funding can produce maximum benefit. Money saved can be re-entered into INDOT’s program to fund other needed improvements. Key project features where creativity and innovation can present opportunities for “cost savings” while enhancing safety and operations include:

» Effective, pragmatic, maintenance of traffic » Economic structure type selection (Please refer to SR 49 and US 231 project descriptions) » Cost-effective drainage systems » Minimization of right of way footprint (Please refer to US 27 project description) » Avoidance of environmental impacts (Please refer to US 27 project description) » Consideration of non-traditional traffic control

• Roundabouts (Please refer to SR 49 and SR 641 project descriptions)• J-turns• Michigan lefts• HAWK pedestrian beacons

» Optimal pavement treatment and design

Components to a Successful Project » Active and ongoing communication with INDOT Project Managers - past project experience

has shown us open lines of communication with INDOT Project Managers and our responsiveness to critical design issues are paramount to a project’s success

» Preliminary Assessment• Evaluating Existing Conditions• Analyzing Critical Issues• Determining Environmental Constraints• Preparing Initial - Scope, Budget, and Schedule• Value Engineering / Constructability Review

» Final Plans » Construction Phase Services

Team CommitmentHow we work starts with our staff. Our people will bring their years of experience and hands-on involvement to each new project under the Greenfield District contract. That knowledge can streamline teamwork and make communication more effective. Hanson will strive to bring value in the up-front planning, making smart business decisions throughout the project and providing honest review to continuously improve each project. Our commitment is to deliver quality projects on time and on budget, while adding value for INDOT. Hanson looks forward to building upon our relationship with the INDOT Greenfield District.



US 27 ReconstructionIndiana Department of TransportationLiberty, Indiana » Roadway Design » Design Survey » ROW Plan Development » Signage » Wetlands/Permitting » Project Cost: $5,200,000

The total project length is 1.157 miles and involved the reconstruction of US 27 to provide two 12-foot travel lanes from the southern terminus to Market Street; three 12-foot travel lanes from Market Street to High Street; and two 12-foot travel lanes with two 10-foot parking lanes from High Street to the northern terminus. The project has been constructed through the historic district of Liberty and along two sides of the National Register of Historic Places listed Union County Courthouse. The project’s footprint was reduced to the greatest extent practical to lessen right of way takes from all adjacent properties. Providing access along each side and across the highway, as well as access to residential and business properties - which meets ADA requirements - was one of the project’s challenges overcome in design. All businesses in the vicinity of the U.S. 27 project were open and accessible during construction.

Hanson Project Portfolio of Related Experience

Interstate 69 RehabilitationIndiana Department of TransportationNear Auburn, Indiana » Bridge Rehabilitation Design (includes Redecking) » Roadway Design » Design Survey » Environmental Permitting » Project Cost: $17,000,000

Hanson designed the rehabilitation of a 9-mile segment of Interstate 69 in northeast Indiana to meet 4R standards. With a focus on minimizing travel delays, the corridor was repaved, bridges were widened and resurfaced, and several sections were replaced with new concrete. All of this was completed 42 days ahead of schedule.

The project was bid using the A+B+Warranty method, that is, cost + time + warranty. Change orders totaled less than 0.33 percent of the original contract amount. Because of the project’s success, Hanson received the National Quality Achievement Award from the National Quality Initiative (NQI). This award recognizes outstanding quality highway design and construction.

US 136 CSX Railroad Bridge Replacement & Roadway ImprovementsIndiana Department of TransportationClermont, Indiana » Roadway Design » Bridge Design » Railroad Coordination » Project Cost: $2,254,000

This project involved replacing the bridge carrying CSX Railroad tracks over US 136 (Crawfordsville Road) at Clermont, located in northwest Marion County, IN. The project included removing the existing concrete arch bridge, reconstructing the through roadway to achieve a lower profile for clearances, installing a storm sewer, working with CSX Railroad staff during design, and constructing a new steel through girder bridge at an extreme skew, all the while successfully maintaining rail and highway traffic. Hanson provided bridge, highway and drainage design; permitting; utility and railroad coordination; and contract and bid documents.

Franklin Road Reconstruction (Pendleton Pike to 47th Street)City of LawrenceLawrence, Indiana » Traffic & Safety

Engineering Studies » Traffic Signals » Roadway Design » ROW Plan Development » Railroad ROW Expertise » Surveying

The $2,000,000 Franklin Road project, when completed, will convert a four-lane facility to a reconstructed three-lane roadway between Pendleton Pike and 47th Street, and the remaining roadway will be restriped all the way to 56th Street. The roadway will operate more safely by providing better access to the frequent private driveways. The existing narrow sidewalks will be widened, which, when combined with lower traffic speeds, will create a more comfortable pedestrian corridor. Negotiations with the CSX Railroad will include removing an at-grade crossing, installing a traffic signal within 100 feet of the crossing on Franklin Road, and reducing the approach grades at the existing crossings. Public involvement and coordination with the businesses along the corridor was vital to combat the impression of lost capacity on the roadway, as well as impacts from profile changes required at the crossing.

SR 641 Phase III Eastern AlignmentIndiana Department of TransportationTerre Haute, Indiana » Bridge Design » Roundabout Design » Roadway Design » Design Survey » Hydraulic Analysis » Permitting

When the current, more southern alignment for Phase III was originally conceived, it included a trumpet-type interchange configuration at the SR 641 intersection with SR 46, and a pair of grade separation bridges to carry SR 641 over Riley Road. However, the costs associated with this scope were beyond budget. The new design includes a 2.1-mile, four-lane divided highway with a tight diamond interchange configuration with roundabouts at the ramp terminal intersections. Our study concluded that the “dog-bone” interchange, which includes roundabouts, conceived of by Hanson was the only alternative that provided least environmental impacts within budget. This unique solution allowed Riley Road to connect to SR 46 and SR 641 at the interchange, without having to bridge SR 641 over Riley Road. Savings were achieved by eliminating the pair of bridges, greatly reducing embankment/borrow quantities, and shortening ramp lengths. This project also included innovation: one of the first applications of roundabouts at an INDOT interchange.

Hanson worked with design/build partner LaPorte Construction Company on these recently-repaired INDOT structures. For both bridges, Hanson provided maintenance of traffic design and utility coordination was conducted by an INDOT-certified utility coordinator in order to meet the Department’s requirements. We provided plans, specifications and supporting documents as part of our design services to the DOT. The LaPorte Construction/Hanson project team’s largest challenge was an extremely fast-track design and construction schedule --- the projects were re-let several times without the original schedule completion date of November 2015 being revised.

Hanson “right-sized” the interchange and created a design which provided substantial cost savings of $4.55 million – a 39 percent reduction from the original construction cost estimate.

INDOT selected Hanson to provide highway, bridge, traffic, and environmental design services for a new interchange on the SR 49 Valparaiso Bypass in northwest Indiana. The project involved constructing a new diamond interchange on SR 49 at County Road 400 North, replacing an at-grade signalized intersection. A grade separation structure carries CR 400 N over SR 49. The original project scope called for a par-clo interchange with two lanes of traffic in each direction on CR 400 N.

US 231 RelocationIndiana Department of TransportationWest Lafayette, Indiana » Bridge Design » Roadway Design » Design Survey » Hydraulic Analysis » ROW Plan Development

The $29 million project involved designing a four-lane, limited-access suburban expressway on a new alignment of US 231. The new highway winds between the Purdue Airport and main campus. Substantial lengths of the relocated US 231 and Purdue’s Jischke Drive were built in cut to achieve the grade separation needed at a railroad crossing. Improvements to the intersecting roadways were designed to accommodate the new highway. Other features of the project included traffic signals and signs; bike lanes and sidewalks; storm sewer; a railroad over highway grade separation bridge; two stream crossing bridges; and an off-site wetland mitigation area.

This project encountered other unique complications. With the project’s initial scope, projected utility relocation costs pushed the project beyond budget. Hanson, INDOT, and other stakeholders collaborated to reduce the scope through value engineering. Hanson evaluated and selectively incorporated the savings measures into the design, saving approximately $7 million.
