1.0 Executive Summary<br />

A. <strong>Lindberg</strong> & <strong>Sons</strong> (ALS) has worked proactively and diligently for the past six years to make the<br />

CR595 Project a viable transportation system for the <strong>Marquette</strong> <strong>County</strong> local economy. ALS has<br />

selected <strong>AECOM</strong> (formerly STS Consultants) as design partner to provide the <strong>Marquette</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />

Road Commission (MCRC) with an outstanding team capable of delivering the CR595 or CR550,<br />

CR510 and Triple A Project. Each firm brings demonstrated experience in all areas that are<br />

required in this important project. Each project presents numerous challenges, and this team<br />

provides a strong combination of experience, knowledge, and proven innovations allowing the<br />

chosen project to be completed in a safe, efficient, timely, and cost-effective manner while<br />

minimizing potential adverse impacts, including environmental concerns.<br />

An accelerated schedule can be achieved in many ways. Our team has considered several ways to<br />

expedite the schedule that would significantly reduce the amount of time needed to complete<br />

either project while managing cost. These ideas will be discussed at various points throughout our<br />

proposal.<br />

ALS is confident that this Statement of Qualifications will meet your approval and looks forward to<br />

hearing from the MCRC with any questions or concerns. All addenda (1, 2, and 3) have been<br />

received and are acknowledged.<br />

2.0 Understanding of Service<br />

Both ALS and <strong>AECOM</strong> have extensive prior knowledge of each project. Beginning in 2006 under the<br />

direction of Kennecott Eagle Minerals Company, ALS was responsible for much of the initial<br />

exploration, design, and permit applications for the original route, the South Road/Woodland Road.<br />

ALS was instrumental in bringing King & MacGregor Environmental and STS Consultants to the<br />

team during this phase. While completing this work, various alternate routes were explored, and<br />

numerous budget cost estimates were prepared. Once the initial route was selected, ALS<br />

completed road design drawings and wetland mitigation plans. The quantitative information<br />

produced by the design was used as the basis for the original MDEQ application filed in 2008 by<br />

Woodland Road LLC. The route has changed slightly, but ALS staff still has more comprehensive<br />

knowledge of the area and what is required to complete this project than any other party. ALS’s<br />

experience in budgeting and design for this project combined with <strong>AECOM</strong>’s extensive design and<br />

engineering experience provides for development of the most realistic construction budget and<br />

schedule.<br />

In 2007 <strong>AECOM</strong> began providing soil testing and bridge design services for the five major stream<br />

crossings on CR595, including field survey, hydraulic analysis, size and location design, and<br />

permitting assistance. <strong>AECOM</strong> provided preliminary plans and a complete hydraulic analysis report<br />

for each of these locations. These designs and reports are included with the current application for<br />

permit for CR595. <strong>AECOM</strong> also completed soil borings and geotechnical evaluations for a number<br />

of the bridge crossings, including the Dead River, Wildcat Canyon Creek, Middle Branch Escanaba<br />

River, and Yellow Dog River. If the CR595 option is chosen, <strong>AECOM</strong> has sufficient information to<br />

immediately begin the final foundation and superstructure design for these locations.<br />

Page 1 of 15


Statement of Qualifications for CR 595 Final Design & Construction<br />

or CR 550, CR 510 and Triple A Design, Construction & Rehabilitation<br />

<strong>AECOM</strong> has completed preliminary design and construction estimates for each section of the<br />

CR550, CR510 and Triple A Project. This information is immediately available for project use and<br />

will allow them to quickly and accurately produce the final design if this route is selected.<br />

To attain the goals of the CR595 Project, the road would be divided into five segments, as shown in<br />

Figure 1 on page 13, to allow for simultaneous construction. Specific construction techniques and<br />

approaches will be further discussed in the Schedule Management and Innovations sections. From<br />

the project’s inception, ALS has worked with timber companies and their lessees, private property<br />

owners, and other interested parties to meet all project goals. ALS has collaborated with members<br />

of the Moose Country and Big Bay Snowmobile Clubs to discuss relocation of their respective trail<br />

systems. All key staff have regularly attended the public hearings for the project, and are cognizant<br />

of the most pertinent concerns. This knowledge, combined with our position as the largest local<br />

bridge, earth, and crushing contractor allows ALS to be the “best qualified” CMGC to meet the goals<br />

of this critical project.<br />

Prior design and exploration work has allowed identification of numerous borrow and aggregate<br />

sources on or near the route. As shown in Figure 1, the ALS Humboldt Stone/Sand (7, 8), Triple A<br />

(Longyear) Quarry (5), and exclusive agreements with various timber companies to produce<br />

materials on their properties, provides sufficient sources to meet any needs of the project. ALS has<br />

the ability to stage the critical materials (21A, 22A, 3” minus, riprap, bituminous stone) necessary<br />

to expedite the schedule.<br />

Construction of the structures that will bridge the 20 streams will impact the flow of material,<br />

equipment, personnel and the travelling public. In order to minimize this impact, various methods<br />

will be utilized, including the use of temporary bridges and creative construction scheduling. Some<br />

bridge construction could occur during periods of lighter traffic in winter and spring. Construction of<br />

critical bridges such as Yellow Dog River and Dead River would be expedited.<br />

ALS’s preliminary plan to facilitate effective communication on this project includes establishing an<br />

office near the project site where utilities and communication can be instituted. This field office will<br />

have a conference room, plotter, photocopier, printer, computers, and other resources necessary to<br />

aid in the administration of the project. It will be located near the south end of the CR595 Project<br />

or near Big Bay for the CR550, CR510 and Triple A Project. An FTP site will also be utilized to share<br />

access to drawings and information. It appears that radio towers could be installed to establish<br />

radio communication and mile markers installed along the project corridor to easily enable<br />

communication between all personnel, promote awareness and safety, and assist in the event of<br />

an emergency.<br />

The anticipated communications for this project include a project kickoff meeting, weekly<br />

coordination meetings, and day-to-day communications management. ALS will attend a project<br />

kickoff meeting as well as weekly coordination meetings with MCRC and the rest of the project<br />

team to ensure the goals of the project are met; to implement and maintain a spirit of cooperation<br />

and open communication among the parties; to resolve potential problems promptly; and to provide<br />

updates at various stages of the project.<br />

In addition to scheduled project meetings, ALS will regularly communicate with MCRC during all<br />

stages of the project. Day-to-day communication between MCRC and ALS will be completed via the<br />

project manager. Sub-contractors will directly communicate with the ALS project manager and will<br />

Page 2 of 15


Statement of Qualifications for CR 595 Final Design & Construction<br />

or CR 550, CR 510 and Triple A Design, Construction & Rehabilitation<br />

be informed of all issues and decisions pertaining to their scope of work on the project. The ALS<br />

project manager will be Bob Kissel. Bob will be fully accessible to MCRC at all times. All<br />

communication (ALS internal staff, subcontractors, and consultants) will be instructed to direct their<br />

communication regarding the Project to their designated contact person. Bob will use Jim Iwanicki<br />

as the single point of contact at MCRC.<br />

A public relations plan will be developed to meet the goals of the MCRC. Frequency of public<br />

information and means, such as websites, media releases, and outreach activities, will be<br />

determined with MCRC before the project commences. Please see section 7.0 Organization and<br />

Project Personnel Qualifications for more information regarding ALS’s public relations intentions.<br />

ALS is committed to quality and may utilize a third party to ensure quality rather than a selfadministered<br />

QA/QC program. With the MCRC approval, ALS suggests adopting the Michigan<br />

Department of Transportation 2012 Standard Specifications for Construction. Utilization of MDOT<br />

standards is typical practice for most highway construction projects, and use of these standards on<br />

this project will minimize any erroneous interpretations of a newly developed QA/QC plan for this<br />

project.<br />

3.0 Schedule Management<br />

A project of this magnitude will require a contractor with the capacity and assets to complete a<br />

significant amount of work in a short period of time. ALS clearly has that capacity, with the area’s<br />

largest fleet of major mass production equipment, including: twelve Cat 637 Scrapers, four Cat D9<br />

track dozers, eight Cat D8 track dozers, seven 40-ton off road articulated haul trucks, four Cat 988<br />

loaders, and six mass-production excavators. The current fleet is capable of moving in excess of<br />

2 million cubic yards of earth in a single construction season. ALS also has the ability to<br />

supplement existing fleets with unlimited rental capacity from major equipment producers such as<br />

Caterpillar and John Deere. ALS also has experienced bridge crews capable of meeting the needs<br />

of the project. Rock blasting and aggregate production is a major component of these projects, and<br />

as one of the top 100 aggregate producers in the nation, ALS has sufficient resources to meet<br />

these demands. ALS currently owns and operates 5 portable crushing and screening complexes<br />

and a portable concrete redi-mix plant. The aggregate division regularly produces over 3 million<br />

tons of material annually, and has the capability of blasting 500,000 cubic yards of rock annually.<br />

ALS will easily meet the project requirement of self-performing a minimum of forty percent of the<br />

contracted work.<br />

GPS controlled equipment will be used by ALS on this project. GPS controls will substantially<br />

reduce surveying and staking costs. The use of this technology will also expedite the construction<br />

schedule.<br />

In order to substantially complete either project ahead of schedule, a variety of techniques will be<br />

implemented. Five major areas have been identified where effective management can expedite the<br />

construction schedule. These areas are: 1) Engineering and Design; 2) Planning, Scheduling, and<br />

Job Control; 3) Contracts and Procurement; 4) Field Personnel and Subcontractor Management; 5)<br />

Construction Sequence.<br />

or CR 550, CR 510 and Triple A Design, Construction & Rehabilitation<br />

3.1 Engineering and Design<br />

As soon as a contract is awarded and route selected, ALS and <strong>AECOM</strong> will work with MCRC to<br />

finalize design. Design and constructability reviews will be scheduled immediately with all parties<br />

so the project will proceed efficiently. Engineering focus will be on the CPM-based schedule.<br />

Potential pre-fabricated elements will be identified with work started as soon as possible,<br />

expediting the schedule.<br />

3.2 Planning, Scheduling, and Job Control<br />

A successful project begins by being adequately prepared prior to the commencement of any work.<br />

Detailed quantity take-offs will be completed and used to create a mass haul diagram and CPMbased<br />

schedule for either project. If CR595 is chosen, the current ALS mass haul diagram will be<br />

updated once final road design is approved. The mass haul diagram determines the most<br />

economically efficient hauling direction of excavated earth and rock materials, and results in an<br />

expedited schedule. The sequencing of temporary and permanent river crossing structures will be<br />

analyzed and scheduled, to maximize the most efficient flow of equipment, materials, personnel,<br />

and the travelling public.<br />

Facilitating communication between all involved parties is the most critically important component<br />

to the success of the project. Engineering and procurement schedules will be integrated into the<br />

construction schedule. With the assistance of MCRC, ALS will request that all impacted utility<br />

companies become part of the team in order to minimize construction delays. Coordination with<br />

landowners, businesses, and other impacted parties along the route will require communication<br />

and facilitation to minimize problems. ALS has established relationships with many of these<br />

parties, and resolving any concerns or issues can be expedited.<br />

3.3 Contracts and Procurement<br />

Procurement has already been discussed with several material suppliers and subcontractors. Once<br />

designs are completed and budget established, deadlines for engineering, fabrication, and delivery<br />

of critical materials will be accelerated. Purchasing and contract negotiation will be fast-tracked<br />

through the use of electronic data interchange protocols. An expeditor will be identified to ensure<br />

efficient creation and approval of any required shop drawings. Once contracts are in place,<br />

suppliers will be required to produce or fabricate any materials in strict accordance with erection<br />

sequences. Major suppliers will be required to attend periodic progress meetings. Finally,<br />

consideration of creative payment incentives and penalties with vendors will help ensure<br />

compliance with scheduled completion dates.<br />

Subcontractor selection, with MCRC’s approval, will be based on past experience with MDOT and<br />

local authorities. ALS has a large network of potential subcontractors to invite to bid on<br />

subcontracted work items. Only MDOT pre-qualified subcontractors will be utilized, and availability<br />

and past schedule performance will be the most important criteria used in selecting successful<br />

subcontractors. Schedule and performance-based incentives will be considered in contract<br />

negotiations, and subcontractors may be required to furnish payment and performance bonds.<br />

Statement of Qualifications for CR 595 Final Design & Construction<br />

or CR 550, CR 510 and Triple A Design, Construction & Rehabilitation<br />

3.4 Field Personnel and Subcontractor Management<br />

Proactive management of field personnel and subcontractors is the most important method to<br />

ensure the project stays on or ahead of schedule. Weekly productivity reports will be produced and<br />

used to monitor actual progress versus estimated progress (CPM).<br />

The optimal use of field craft personnel will be managed on an ongoing basis. Difficult field<br />

activities will begin as soon as possible.<br />

Consideration will be given to the “rolling four” concept. This involves 2 crews, each working four<br />

successive 10-12 hour days followed by four days off. This has the effect of reducing overtime,<br />

increasing productivity during construction, and expediting the progress schedule.<br />

Subcontractors will be continuously monitored and required to complete daily reports that will be<br />

submitted to the project manager. Subcontractors are required to attend weekly progress meetings<br />

with project management staff to ensure quality, production, safety, and adherence to schedule.<br />

3.5 Construction Sequence<br />

CR595 is most manageable when divided into five segments, allowing for simultaneous work areas.<br />

Each segment provides its own unique challenges. Figure 1 shows each of the five segments in<br />

greater detail. In addition to dividing the project into segments, several critical factors and work<br />

activities have been identified that need to be discussed with MCRC and other involved parties as<br />

soon as a contract is awarded. These items have been discussed and planned for internally, but a<br />

formal plan will need to be implemented. They include identification of borrow and aggregate<br />

sources, construction of river crossings, harvesting of timber, clearing and burning concerns, winter<br />

construction activities, potential permit-restricted work areas, and microclimates.<br />

There may be permit requirements that could impact the construction sequence. Among them are<br />

the Migratory Bird Act and the accommodation of threatened or endangered species such as the<br />

narrow-leafed gentian.<br />

Construction of CR510 and Triple A will utilize ALS’s Triple A (Longyear) Quarry as a central location<br />

for staging with construction beginning here and progressing in the east and west directions to<br />

complete the Triple A and CR510 portions of the project. CR550 construction schedule will require<br />

coordination with MCRC existing bridge and road projects to determine construction sequence and<br />

CMGC responsibility.<br />

4.0 Innovations<br />

ALS has always prided itself on taking an active role in bringing innovative ideas to project owners,<br />

resulting in cost savings and higher quality projects. During the six years ALS has studied the<br />

CR595 Project, several methods to improve design, quality, and lifespan have been developed.<br />

One major innovation proposed is an alternative road cross-section that would provide extended<br />

pavement life, lower construction costs, faster construction operations, and a superior temporary<br />

travelling surface for construction equipment and the public. This innovation involves substituting<br />

the 2 foot sand subbase with a minimum layer of 16 inches of 3” minus aggregate. 3” minus<br />

Page 5 of 15


Statement of Qualifications for CR 595 Final Design & Construction<br />

or CR 550, CR 510 and Triple A Design, Construction & Rehabilitation<br />

crushed subbase is locally preferred as a subbase alternative to MDOT Class II Sand. The 8” layer<br />

of 22A will be replaced with a minimum of 4 inches of 21A. The substitution of 21A was suggested<br />

to MDOT by ALS several years ago, was approved as a superior method, and is now being utilized as<br />

an open graded drainage material on several high volume traffic projects. In 2011, MDOT utilized a<br />

21A modified open graded drainage aggregate for a project on US2. The City of <strong>Marquette</strong> prefers<br />

the use of 3” minus and 21A aggregates on its projects, and the local logging industry prefers 3”<br />

minus crushed material for its ability to support heavy equipment. ALS also proposes changing the<br />

bituminous surface from 4 inches of MDOT 13A to a binder course of 9A followed by a leveling<br />

course of 4E.<br />

ALS is exploring a number of innovations that will help with bridge design and construction. The<br />

use of precast elements is proposed for bridges in order to expedite the schedule and limit impacts<br />

to traffic. Some of the potential precast elements include footings for ConSpans, bridge<br />

abutments, and deck panels. Their use could reduce the schedule by up to 30% per structure.<br />

Precast elements may eliminate the need for a complete cofferdam when building in wet<br />

conditions. Quality control is improved because the precast elements are constructed under<br />

controlled conditions. The Outlet Structure at Wildcat Canyon Creek could be precast too, which<br />

reduces the environmental impact of construction and expedites completion.<br />

To facilitate placement of streambed material within the precast concrete box culverts, precast<br />

concrete internal “curbing” at the invert of both section ends could facilitate “charging” the<br />

individual sections with streambed material prior to section placement.<br />

Two additional water crossing ideas are: 1) the construction of baffles within culverts to reduce<br />

velocity and the need for extensive energy dissipation at the culvert outfalls, and 2) the use of<br />

concrete form liners that produce aesthetically pleasing profiles and post-installation concrete<br />

staining of exposed culvert and bridge surfaces that could facilitate aesthetic “blending” of the<br />

structures to the environment.<br />

There are multiple erosion control methods that would work well on this project. One is the use of<br />

Slope Protection Special, which consists of a minimum 1 foot layer of blasted rock on steep slopes.<br />

This practice immediately protects the slope from erosion during construction and eliminates the<br />

need for topsoil, seeding, and mulch. Another benefit of Slope Protection Special is that animals do<br />

not feed on this type of slope protection, which reduces the risk of future traffic accidents. Wood<br />

chips created by grinding tree stumps and slashings would also create effective erosion control<br />

during construction.<br />

Several other miscellaneous ideas would be beneficial if implemented. Excavated peat, if properly<br />

salvaged and stored, could be utilized in the creation of future wetlands. Partial width construction,<br />

while not a new idea, could be used in certain areas to maintain traffic flow and reduce<br />

inconveniences to the public. Centerline and shoulder corrugations (rumble strips) are not<br />

necessary but provide a higher level of safety for a road that will be snow covered in many areas<br />

nearly half the year. Finally, using concrete instead of a bituminous surface at intersections where<br />

heavy trucks will be stopping will reduce surface wear in those areas.<br />

5.0 Experience/Past Performance<br />

A. <strong>Lindberg</strong> & <strong>Sons</strong> (ALS) has an extensive history in constructing, reconstructing, and rehabilitating<br />

infrastructure across the Upper Peninsula and Midwest. ALS was responsible for building several<br />

miles of the original Interstates in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. ALS has extensive<br />

experience with performing projects for MDOT, WDOT, numerous county and local authorities, as<br />

well as private entities, and is an equal opportunity employer. ALS is currently prequalified by<br />

MDOT to perform $87 million of concurrent work. Locally, many projects have been completed on<br />

<strong>Marquette</strong> <strong>County</strong> roads, including CR550 and CR510. Familiarity with site conditions in these<br />

areas will be beneficial to the project team if this option is selected.<br />

One challenging MCRC project in terms of public safety and maintenance of traffic was the CR581<br />

Bridge Replacement over the Middle Branch of the Escanaba River in 2008. The original contract<br />

plans and specifications called for the bridge to be demolished and a new bridge constructed, with<br />

traffic rerouted by a 12 mile detour during the 4 month construction period. Public opposition to<br />

the detour delayed the project start while MCRC collaborated with ALS to design a temporary<br />

structure and approaches east of the construction zone. This challenge was met by utilizing a<br />

temporary bridge supplied by ALS, installing the structure and guardrail, completing all approach<br />

work, maintaining the surface throughout the project duration, and removing the temporary bridge<br />

upon project completion. A new traffic maintenance plan was developed in order to keep the public<br />

safe during the demolition and construction processes.<br />

A recent successful project took place on US41 in Skandia. In 2003 ALS contracted with MDOT to<br />

build passing lanes and resurface 6.1 miles of roadway. Value engineering was provided by<br />

utilizing a track crusher on the grade to recycle the existing concrete base and reuse it as a<br />

modified material that otherwise would have been wasted. The cost savings allowed for a deeper<br />

and more substantial base aggregate substrate at a lower cost, while also producing a superior<br />

product. The area where this technique was used still shows very little deterioration in the<br />

bituminous pavement after nearly ten years. This 3.4 million dollar project was completed within<br />

budget. ALS safely maintained traffic and access to homes and businesses along this main route<br />

for the duration of the project.<br />

Similar to the proposed projects in both scope and complexity, ALS completed a design-build<br />

project in 2004 in Baraga <strong>County</strong> for the US Army Corps of Engineers. ALS worked with a diverse<br />

project team comprised of the Corps of Engineers, J.O.A. Construction and Tetra Tech to complete<br />

the L'Anse Linden Creek Flood Control Project. ALS staff was instrumental throughout the design<br />

and planning stage for two ConSpan bridge crossings and a 20’ wide x 8.5’ high x 412’ long skewed<br />

box culvert. Value engineering cost savings was obtained by recommending a different steel sheet<br />

piling design for the seawall, redesigning the typical road cross section to take advantage of locally<br />

available materials, and redesigning the channel entrance to Lake Superior to an armor stone<br />

breakwater design. A 412’ long skewed box culvert design was developed that would follow a<br />

challenging, client desired channel alignment. At all times throughout the project, ALS maintained<br />

local vehicular traffic through the work zone and pedestrian access to retail stores along the project<br />

corridor. Work was completed in a condensed construction schedule to accommodate availability<br />

of Federal funds.<br />

In addition to a large roadwork resume, A. <strong>Lindberg</strong> & <strong>Sons</strong> prides itself on being one of the most<br />

experienced bridge and structure contractors in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Since 2000, ALS<br />

Page 7 of 15


Statement of Qualifications for CR 595 Final Design & Construction<br />

or CR 550, CR 510 and Triple A Design, Construction & Rehabilitation<br />

has completed over 20 different bridge construction projects across the central Upper Peninsula,<br />

and built many snowmobile bridges on trails across the Upper Peninsula. Many previous projects<br />

involved temporary road and bridge construction in order to maintain traffic. The experienced staff<br />

at ALS will collaborate with MCRC to develop the temporary structures required to maintain access<br />

to the existing roads and trail systems impacted by the project.<br />

<strong>AECOM</strong> brings a wealth of experience in design, survey, environmental and construction services to<br />

the team. <strong>AECOM</strong> <strong>Marquette</strong> recently provided environmental review, design, and construction<br />

management services for a design-bid-build project to reconstruct 26 miles of H-58 through<br />

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Alger <strong>County</strong>. The team prepared the route location study,<br />

completed all road and bridge design, provided construction layout, materials testing and<br />

inspection services for all phases of the project over six years. Many of the challenges faced on this<br />

project will be encountered on the CR550, CR510 and Triple A Project, and <strong>AECOM</strong>’s success in<br />

managing the H-58 project demonstrates that the team can successfully complete this type of<br />

project. Safety and public access was a major concern on H-58 as it is most heavily travelled<br />

during the construction season. This challenge was met was by breaking the construction into<br />

several phases and completing it over multiple years. Other challenges faced during this project<br />

involved minimizing environmental impacts, attaining proper easements on federally owned land,<br />

and redesigning the road to meet current design standards. <strong>AECOM</strong> met the environmental<br />

challenges by reducing the width of the road’s footprint at certain locations in order to save trees<br />

and preserve the forest canopy. Realignment of the road in one location avoided impacting a small<br />

wetland. <strong>AECOM</strong> <strong>Marquette</strong> was recognized by the National Park Service with a Midwest Region<br />

Excellence in Partnering Award for their efforts on this project.<br />

<strong>AECOM</strong> has designed a number of bridges for MCRC of similar size and complexity to those on both<br />

the CR595 and CR550, CR510 and Triple A projects. These include CR PFS over the Schweitzer<br />

Creek, CR PX over the North Branch Big West River, CR GGT over Deer Creek, and CR581 over the<br />

Middle Branch Escanaba River. Although they required more design effort, <strong>AECOM</strong> chose to include<br />

design features for increased bridge quality and longevity such as concrete composite deck slabs<br />

instead of bituminous overlays. In the case of the CR581 bridge, <strong>AECOM</strong> also included concrete<br />

approach slabs to eliminate approach settlement problems on this high volume road. <strong>AECOM</strong> is<br />

currently completing the design of CR550 over Alder Creek and has recently been awarded the<br />

design of CR550 over the Little Garlic River. Both of these projects are on the CR550, CR510 and<br />

Triple A route and <strong>AECOM</strong>’s knowledge of the possible future road improvements has been<br />

incorporated into the bridge design and planning.<br />

<strong>AECOM</strong>’s most recent road design project for MCRC was for the development area in <strong>Marquette</strong><br />

Township north of the Westwood Mall. The project included the design and construction of<br />

Commerce Drive from US41 to Wright Street and for Venture Drive from CR492 (Wright Street) to<br />

Commerce Drive. The original project was for <strong>Marquette</strong> Township’s TIFD/DDA to assist in the<br />

development of the area. <strong>AECOM</strong>’s services included design and construction services for the road<br />

and utilities. Utilities included water, sewer and underground electric conduit coordinated with the<br />

<strong>Marquette</strong> Board of Light and Power.<br />

6.0 Work Zone Safety<br />

ALS and <strong>AECOM</strong> have extensive prior knowledge of both proposed projects and understand that<br />

work zone safety will be quite different depending on which project is chosen. Give ‘Em A Brake<br />

Page 8 of 15


Statement of Qualifications for CR 595 Final Design & Construction<br />

or CR 550, CR 510 and Triple A Design, Construction & Rehabilitation<br />

Safety (GEBS) will be the subcontractor for the maintenance of traffic on either project. GEBS is a<br />

leader in the traffic control industry and has performed services for many projects of this<br />

magnitude. Numerous employees in key positions have over 25 years of experience in the traffic<br />

control safety industry. Availability is 24/7 for any traffic control emergency, and GEBS will use<br />

products and equipment that meet or exceed MDOT and FHWA standards. Reasonable access will<br />

be maintained and proper notifications provided to all residents, businesses, emergency vehicles,<br />

and personnel within the project limits. The work zone safety plan is a top priority on either project,<br />

and will be formalized with MCRC prior to work commencement.<br />

A significant portion of the work zone for CR595 is in remote areas. Numerous two-track logging<br />

roads and recreational trails present the potential for public users to gain access to our work area.<br />

Work zone incidents will be minimized by implementing a comprehensive sign placement plan that<br />

warns users in sufficient distance to seek alternate routes before arriving at the perimeter of the<br />

work zone. Input from MCRC, property owners, and timber companies will be used to develop a<br />

plan to maintain access to the existing roads and trails surrounding the work zone for the duration<br />

of the project. Public access to the work zone will be supervised and controlled.<br />

A more traditional method for the maintenance of traffic will be used if CR550, CR510 and Triple A<br />

is chosen. Input from impacted parties, including emergency responders, will help the team create<br />

a plan that minimizes impacts to the travelling public and coordinates access for property owners in<br />

and around the work zone. ALS and GEBS’s signing sequence will be in compliance with current<br />

MDOT standards and construction methods.<br />

The safety and well-being of construction personnel is another primary concern. ALS employees<br />

and subcontractors are required to adhere to the ALS safety and drug and alcohol policies. The ALS<br />

workforce frequently works in heavy construction, industrial, and mining environments with strict<br />

safety rules, and all current field personnel are MSHA certified. A former MSHA inspector with three<br />

decades of experience in the mining and safety industries will serve as the ALS safety officer on the<br />

project.<br />

Blasting areas are another safety hazard that must be addressed. As the largest quarried<br />

aggregate producer in the Upper Peninsula, ALS has significant experience with managing blasting<br />

operations. Along with GEBS, the ALS safety and blasting teams have the knowledge to properly<br />

sign, monitor and control the blasting zones. All areas will be analyzed by our safety department to<br />

control all traffic and employees during the blasting activities.<br />

A staging plan has been developed that will reduce environmental, social, and economic costs. ALS<br />

owns and has agreements to operate many gravel pits and quarries in <strong>Marquette</strong> <strong>County</strong>, several of<br />

which are strategically located near both projects. Figure 1 shows all quarries and staging areas.<br />

One of the main staging areas for either project will be the ALS Triple A (Longyear) Quarry (5). If the<br />

CR550, CR510 and Triple A Project is chosen, an additional staging area will be located at the ALS<br />

CR550 Pit (3). If the CR595 Project is chosen, additional staging areas will be at Humboldt Sand &<br />

Gravel (8), Humboldt Stone (7), and other nearby pits. Aggregate locations will also be used by<br />

portable bituminous plants. Aggregate and borrow sources identified along the CR595 route may<br />

also be utilized as staging areas. For either project, ALS has located, and in many cases controls,<br />

sufficient land that is in close proximity to the construction area. This reduces transportation miles,<br />

lowering both cost and environmental impacts such as emissions, and expedites the construction<br />

schedule. It has the added benefit of reducing the impact experienced by the travelling public, and<br />

or CR 550, CR 510 and Triple A Design, Construction & Rehabilitation<br />

minimizes construction traffic in major population centers and transportation corridors such as the<br />

City of <strong>Marquette</strong> and US41.<br />

Additional staging areas for bridge and culvert installation will be located in close proximity to the<br />

crossings upon approval of the property owner or by written permission from the MCRC project<br />

manager. Site access for CR595 is more difficult than the alternative project, and special attention<br />

must be given to maintaining access at water crossings. When necessary, temporary bridges will<br />

be utilized at some crossings in order to accommodate material deliveries and equipment<br />

movement, and completion of permanent structures will take place as soon as possible. Access to<br />

the immediate work areas will be via the existing county roads and trails, such as Wolf Lake Road<br />

and Dishno Road. All access roads and staging areas will be maintained throughout the project,<br />

and those that will be abandoned will be restored upon project completion.<br />

7.0 Organization and Project Personnel Qualifications<br />

Project Personnel will interact with MCRC throughout the project’s development, as outlined in the<br />

organizational charts below. Active engagement in the design phase of either project will provide<br />

input on means and methods, constructability, and feasibility through participation in weekly design<br />

meetings and pre-construction coordination meetings.<br />

ALS will collaborate with MCRC and its consultant on constructability reviews, construction staging,<br />

maintenance of traffic, and cost estimates throughout the final design phase of the CR595 Project.<br />

We will interact closely with our partner, <strong>AECOM</strong>, throughout the design of the CR550, CR510 and<br />

Triple A Project. Communication between internal staff will be ongoing throughout the project.<br />

Communication with our subcontractors will occur through the designated project manager. All ALS<br />

project managers are experienced in managing subcontractors and construction crews.<br />

Public relations are a high priority throughout all phases of the project. ALS is well aware of the<br />

public controversy that has surrounded the CR595 Project in <strong>Marquette</strong> <strong>County</strong> for almost a<br />

decade. The positive reputation of ALS among <strong>Marquette</strong> <strong>County</strong> residents provides us with an<br />

advantage over our competitors when it comes to public relations and will lessen the public<br />

opposition the project may experience throughout the two-year construction period. Utility<br />

companies, businesses, landowners, timber companies, and the general public will be informed<br />

throughout the duration of this project through outreach initiatives and media coverage completed<br />

jointly by MCRC and ALS. A public relations team has not been created yet because it should be a<br />

collaborative decision between ALS and MCRC.<br />

7.1 Organization Chart<br />

or CR 550, CR 510 and Triple A Design, Construction & Rehabilitation<br />

pricing will be obtained from reputable subcontractors for each subcontract item in order to ensure<br />

the best possible price. Subcontractors will be evaluated based on the following criteria:<br />

1. Quality of work and performance on previous projects<br />

2. Knowledge and understanding of the proposed project requirements<br />

3. Availability of personnel throughout the proposed schedule<br />

4. Responsiveness throughout the bid process<br />

5. Ability to provide required documentations and reports in a timely manner<br />

6. Ability to meet ALS insurance, safety, and environmental requirements<br />

7. DBE/MBE/WBE/SBE Status<br />

During the bidding process, ALS will ensure that all parties understand the scope of work, project<br />

schedule, and worksite logistics. Prior to awarding any work, ALS will give extra consideration to<br />

local subcontractors or contractors that utilize local labor. ALS’s goal is to keep the workforce local.<br />
