US 36 Added Travel Lanes

US 36 Added Travel Lanes Avon, Indiana DCCM is leading the design and ancillary services for the 4.5-mile-long urban reconstruction project that added a third travel lane in each direction. DCCM designers provided the engineer’s assessment recommendation for the addition and location of a third travel lane in either direction to minimize potential bottlenecking, minimize construction costs, and reduce impacts on the community and property owners. Our team also provided oversight for the design of pedestrian crossings with median refuge, pedestrian push buttons, and ADA-compliant curb ramps to provide continuity of local trails crossing US 36. ADA-compliant curb ramps and sidewalks were also included at public road approaches. In addition to project management, DCCM led the design of converting existing shoulders to travel lanes bordered by curb and gutter with turnouts to convey drainage. Due to high crash rates, the two-way left-turn lane was removed and replaced with a curbed center median. Pavement markings and signage throughout the corridor were also proposed to channelize left-turn lanes.  With this project located within a heavily used business corridor, our team focused on in-depth public outreach and local coordination to prioritize INDOT’s and the community’s needs. Our customized public outreach plan included one-on-one meetings with business owners, targeted community advisory committee (CAC), local government stakeholder meetings, one-on-one meetings with local EMS departments, one-on-one meetings with schools and school transportation departments, public information meetings, and a public hearing. By keeping the public and stakeholders informed early on and throughout development, the project avoided public controversy.

Cedarspur Drive, Burkhart Road, and Winningham Lane Improvements

Cedarspur Drive, Burkhart Road, and Winningham Lane Improvements Spring Valley Village, Texas DCCM provided the preliminary engineering report, design, survey, and SUE QL-C and D for road paving and utility improvements in three separate areas of the City of Spring Valley Village. The project encompassed the reconstruction of Cedarspur Drive, Burkhart Road, and Winningham Lane East, totaling 2,200 linear feet. It included replacing 6,400 square yards of concrete roadway and driveways, water line, and sanitary improvements. Additional services included attending pre-bid meetings, bid evaluation, and award recommendation. DCCM also attended a preconstruction conference, reviewed shop drawings and requests for information, performed site visits as specified by the client, and provided record drawings. The design of the TCP was challenging because the project consisted of three streets with dead ends, requiring us to maintain two-way traffic while rebuilding a two-lane roadway. We limited work zones to 400 linear feet at a time to make it easier for residents traveling to and from their homes. Ongoing flagging and coordination with residents was imperative for a smooth project. DCCM coordinated closely with the City of Spring Valley Village, the contractor, and affected homeowners to provide a seamless design and construction experience. Homeowners were notified of the schedules, including the start and end times for work on their street. Homeowners were also encouraged to notify the city, the contractor, or the engineer if there were any issues. The project went smoothly with minimal issues.

US 79 Widening

US 79 Widening Jewett, Texas The DCCM team designed a 10-mile schematic and environmental project in Leon County. The project consisted of widening US 79 from a two-lane section to a four-lane divided section from west of Jewett at FM 1512 to Buffalo. This project developed three alternatives and refined the preferred alternative based on stakeholder input from two public meetings, environmental constraints, and limited right-of-way (ROW). The team worked on developing all environmental technical reports required to obtain environmental clearance for ROW acquisition and utility relocation before the final design. One project challenge involved reintroducing a relief route around the City of Jewett during the 90% schematic design. The DCCM team collaborated with the Emerging Technologies group to devise potential relief routes and create exhibits for the upcoming public meeting. Additionally, the DCCM team generated 3D renderings for downtown design options and collaborated with the City of Jewett to gain consensus from key stakeholders. Another challenge involved two grade-separated railroad crossings with BNSF and UPRR. The UPRR crossing featured a rail siding to the Nucor Corporation plant. To address this, seven alternatives were developed to convert the Nucor Corporation at-grade crossing into a grade-separated crossing, ensuring access to Nucor Corporation plants and CR 347. In coordination with Nucor Corporation and TxDOT, the team worked to find a design solution that accommodated all parties while minimizing interchange construction costs.

IH 35 at Ronald Reagan Boulevard Bridge

IH 35 at Ronald Reagan Boulevard Bridge Williamson County, Texas The project included schematic development and plans, specifications, and estimates for realigning Ronald Reagan Boulevard into a divided roadway with two one-way alignments. It included the removal of the existing two-way bridge over IH 35 and the construction of two new one-way bridges over IH 35, while continuing to provide connectivity to CR 247 and CR 311. Ronald Reagan Boulevard improvements started 2,300 feet west of IH 35 and proceeded east to IH 35, and continued east for 500 feet. Beginning at CR 247, the new Ronald Reagan Boulevard tapers to a divided roadway (two lanes in each direction), with one-way eastbound and westbound alignments and paved shoulders. In the future, Ronald Reagan Boulevard will be widened to four lanes from SH 195 to CR 247, providing a major artery from Georgetown to IH 35. The project included new safety lighting, retaining walls on IH 35 for the new bridge abutments, construction of auxiliary lanes on IH 35 under the new bridges, and drainage improvements along Ronald Reagan Boulevard, the frontage roads, and IH 35 mainlanes. The offset distance between the east- and westbound alignments of Ronald Reagan Boulevard also provided an adequate span for future freeway construction and additional widening of the boulevard. Public involvement, utility coordination, private land and business owners, the City of Jarrell, emergency service providers, TxDOT, Williamson County, the Federal Highway Administration, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and other stakeholders were important to project success.

Avenue S Rehabilitation

Avenue S Rehabilitation Galveston County, Texas DCCM provided the design of 8,600 linear feet of roadway reconstruction along Avenue S from 53rd Street to Seawall Boulevard. The paving cross-section comprised two travel lanes with two outside parking areas. The project design included replacing 8,900 linear feet of water line, including branches and intersections along the route, crossing intersections that were previously reconstructed for other concurrent projects. Additionally, a 15-inch sanitary sewer was replaced, stretching from 35th Street to 33rd Street, including branches and intersections. Our assessment of the drainage system along the corridor and side streets enabled us to determine the most effective methods for enhancing drainage efficiency while removing bridge blocks. The flat terrain of Galveston provided grading challenges, and with our detailed 3D grading abilities, the shallow underground storm system had the proper cover under the road and for some instances where standard cover was not achievable, it was discovered and known during the design or it was identified during construction and the design remedies were ready before construction was delayed. Our subconsultants performed geotechnical, surveying, SUE, environmental, and inspection services for the project. DCCM provided construction phase services for the City of Galveston and collaborated with the contractor to ensure the design intent was effectively implemented. The final product of the road was excellent, and the contractor successfully constructed the road and storm sewer system with minimal RFIs and minor adjustments to the road, sidewalks, and storm sewer system grading. All meetings were accompanied by a well-organized agenda and meeting minutes, which included detailed action items to be completed by the next meeting. This attention to detail and accountability helped lead the project to a successful completion and limited citizen complaints. Surveying Services DCCM supported land surveying services for 2.5 miles of Avenue S from 53rd Street east to Seawall Boulevard Drive. Tasks included right-of-way (ROW) determinations, topographic surveying, and subsurface utility surveying to support engineering design. The project included a full-depth replacement of existing pavement and utilities, including water lines and subsurface sanitary and storm sewer systems. Approximately 275 parcels were abstracted to support ROW determinations and graphically depict property ownership. Survey control was established, including ground targets for aerial triangulation of UAS/drone imagery acquired by a subconsultant. Lidar data was also collected, post-processed, and delivered to us for analysis and integration into our survey. Supplemental ground surveying was performed to support the validation of the imagery and lidar data. Final deliverables included 3D mapping in Civil 3D format and rectified orthomosaic imagery of the project extents. SUE Services DCCM provided SUE services along 8,600 linear feet of water and sanitary sewer line from Avenue S from 53rd Street to Seawall Boulevard. The SUE QL-B designation revealed more than 56,000 feet of utilities in that area. As in all SUE projects, the utility mainlines were designated. This project was unusual because all utility services were also designated so that the designers would have substantial utility information and the best chance to protect the utilities in place—this required electronically traceable duct runners, fish tapes, and electromagnetic sweeping.
