Re: RFP 1511-BF&S- Item 10- LOI

On-Call inspection contracts are the perfect way for INDOT to manage a variety of projects and assignments with a limited number of staff members. Firms that you need to rely on must provide a depth of skilled staff, a wide-range of technical expertise, and the ability to respond at a moment’s notice. BF&S is the firm with on-call experience and proficiency in delivering these resources to meet the needs of the Crawfordsville District.

Mike Biesecker will direct the assignment of both project supervisors and inspectors to each project within the on-call contract. Mike has almost 30 years of construction supervision experience throughout the State of Indiana. The BF&S construction inspection department has approximately 45 supervisors and inspectors on staff, many living within the Crawfordsville District. We will be teaming with Resolution Group, Inc., a DBE firm, to provide additional resources for your requirements.

INDOT RFP 1511 Item 10 Project Experience

PROJECT APPROACH

Upon project assignment by the INDOT Crawfordsville District, we will discuss the details of the construction contract with the Area Engineer and/or District Construction Engineer. Based upon these discussions and details of the construction project, we will propose staff that will meet or exceed the District’s expectations. We have ample construction inspection staff residing in and around the Crawfordsville District. We will propose staff qualified for the size and type of project being constructed.

After a project team has been approved by INDOT, we will meet with the representatives of INDOT to introduce all of the team members and verify the scope of the project.

The project inspectors will assist in the preconstruction conference. Lines of communication between all parties will be established. The project inspector will ensure the project is constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications. Depending upon the contractor’s schedule and mode of operation, additional staff inspectors will be provided as needed. The project inspectors will record and maintain construction documentation in accordance with the INDOT General Guide to Field Employees and Site Manager. Material testing will be performed in accordance with INDOT procedures. The project inspectors will assist in preparing the final construction record. Erosion control and maintenance of traffic issues will be closely monitored.

Cost Savings

BF&S has performed cost savings and innovative design practices even before INDOT Open Roads was fully implemented. Throughout the design process, we will continually look for ways to reduce initial and life-cycle costs without compromising the quality, safety and objectives of the project.

Cost Savings Examples:• US 31 near Kokomo Project – BF&S worked to save nearly $50 million by reducing median widths,

reconfiguring interchanges, utilizing alternative pavement types, analyzing mainline versus S-line overpasses, and profile grade adjustments.

• Ohio River Bridges Project – Through value engineering, BF&S was able to reduce the construction cost of the project by $100 million.

• SR/Hoosier Heartland Project – BF&S evaluated multiple alternatives to provide approximately $1 million in savings in both construction and right-of-way acquisition costs.

• SR 47 over Indian Creek, SR 25 over Wea Creek & US 52 over the Wabash River – BF&S performed several cost reduction analyses on bridge rehabilitations for the Crawfordsville District that have saved $2.2 million representing an over 20% reduction in cost for each project.

INDOT RFP 1511 Item 10 Project Approach

Quality Control/Quality Assurance

BF&S is committed to providing its clients with superior construction inspection services. A system has been implemented to ensure this occurs on every project. Once a construction inspection project is assigned, the construction inspection team meets with the design team to familiarize themselves with the project and any special considerations particular to the design. Plans and specifications are reviewed in detail prior to the preconstruction conference. Once construction begins, regular progress meetings are scheduled with all interested parties to ensure the project is kept on schedule and to address any outstanding issues. The project management team is available and the construction inspection staff is encouraged to contact the appropriate persons to address any issues that come up during construction. Upon project completion, preparation of a final construction record is a priority. The job performance of construction inspection personnel is reviewed frequently to ensure that we provide the best service possible. BF&S will invoice for services in a timely manner to allow INDOT the ability to manage their funds.
