Management Approach

Ben has a proven track record for delivering projects on schedule and under budget. His hands-on management approach includes the following key elements:

ScopeA specific scope document will be written for each task assigned. Ben will work with the INDOT project manager to streamline the scope of work and deliverables to reduce the cost and schedule of each task. A specific example is that the plan development schedule for small structure replacements can skip Stage 2 by fully developing the right-of-way needs at Preliminary Field Check, saving time and fee costs.

ScheduleBen will develop and monitor a critical path schedule for each task. The schedule status will be communicated to the INDOT project manager in status reports.

CostsDetailed cost estimates will be developed and updated at each deliverable. Ben will monitor the estimated construction cost versus the programmed cost throughout project development, and inform the INDOT project manager if there are any discrepancies.

CoordinationBen will assist the INDOT project manager by coordinating with INDOT units providing services such as pavement design, utility coordination, geotechnical investigations and traffic forecasts.

CommunicationBen will keep the INDOT project manager updated on the project by providing monthly status reports discussing all of the items noted above.

AECOM designs all types of projects, from preservation to complex design-build projects

The AECOM Indianapolis office has worked on a broad range of diverse projects over the past five years for INDOT. From delivering HMA overlays along US 41, US 20 and US 12 for the LaPorte District to the new interchange at US 31/SR 28 for the Greenfield District, our team is equipped to handle any assignment the Greenfield District needs delivered. Our four intersection projects at SR 149/CR 1050 N, US 231/CR 700 N, US 30/Randolph Street and US 6/Meridian Street are such examples nearing delivery and all are on-time and under-budget. This exposure to challenging projects provides lessons learned and unique solutions to be incorporated into INDOT Greenfield District projects.


Relevant Projects

Small Structure On-Call PDS INDOT Greenfield District

The project included eleven small structure replacements spread throughout the Greenfield District. As prime consultant, AECOM had oversight of topographic survey, NEPA development, plan development and permitting. The projects also included project bundling with projects developed by other consultants and INDOT design staff. Six of the eleven tasks have been let. Five more tasks will let in late 2017 and early 2018. The project included a mix of pipe culverts, box culverts and three-sided culverts. Traffic control included closures, one-lane two way phased construction and crossovers are four-lane arterials roadways.

US 224 Road Reconstruction INDOT Fort Wayne District

AECOM designed the 1.2 mile US 224 roadway reconstruction project located on the east side of Decatur. This project was deemed necessary due to flooding by the St. Mary’s River. AECOM analyzed several options and determined raising the roadway above the 50-year floodplain was the most effective proposed design. Two offsite compensatory storage sites were designed to mitigate impacts to the St. Mary’s River. AECOM worked seamlessly with INDOT Design staff who designed the compensatory sites and the roadway lighting. The project’s multi-phase traffic maintenance detour plan required extensive coordination with local stakeholders.

US 41 HMA Preventive Maintenance Overlay, INDOT LaPorte District

Along US 41 from Main Street to Ridge Road in Lake County, this $1.49 million construction project consisted of the resurfacing of 2.3 miles of US 41 with areas of full depth patching, evaluation of all the curb ramps to ADA requirements, design of new curb ramps, and utility and railroad coordination. Plans of the existing roadway were not available for parts of the project prior to conducting field work potentially slowing down data acquisition and increasing the risk for error. To overcome this challenge, AECOM used a Trimble GeoXH handheld GPS positioning data collector to define existing roadway data elements greatly accelerating the data collection process, increasing the quality of the product, and reducing the risk of change orders. The deliverables included an 8 1/2” x 11” set of contract documents.

Relevant Projects

US 6 over Wagner Ditch INDOT LaPorte District

The replacement structure is a single span prestressed concrete I-beam bridge with a span of 65’ and a clear roadway of 43’ – 4”. The bridge is located within a superelevation transition for a horizontal curve east of the bridge. SJCA’s design approach included modifications to the superelevation transition to construct the bridge at a constant cross slope. This simplification to the structure details provides for easier construction resulting in construction cost savings. SJCA’s design approach also utilized existing pavement with resurfacing and shoulder widening except for full depth replacement required within the bridge and bridge approach limits.

Indiana Toll Road Concession Company - Bridge Preservation Design

AECOM completed the bridge rehabilitation at three locations along the I-90 Indiana Toll Road in northwest Indiana. The locations are at Structure 1-4 over the Wolf Lake Channel, Structure 5-2 over the Grand Calumet River, and Structure 15-1 over Salt Creek; all located in Lake County. Each location consisted of dual structures carrying eastbound and westbound traffic, respectively. One innovation used on all three structures was the closing off of the expansion joints above the piers by constructing continuous “link slabs,” which make the deck fully continuous. This eliminated the chloride leakage common in decks with joints preserved the condition of the steel beam ends and piers.

SR 149/CR 1050 North Intersection Improvement, INDOT LaPorte District

AECOM is currently designing the intersection of SR 149 and County Road 1050 North in Porter County. The existing signalized intersection has severe congestion during peak periods due to lack of auxiliary lanes with two lane approaches. The project includes adding left turn lanes along both SR 149 approaches and a new traffic signal. An important aspect of this project is the large number of potential utility relocations which will be designed around to minimize impacts. The project is at Stage 3 and is scheduled for letting in early 2018. AECOM services include plan development and permitting as well as oversight of geotechnical investigation and NEPA document.
