Key Staff

With 25 years in the profession, Rob’s career includes design services for dozens of roadway and bridge replacement/rehabilitation projects of varying complexity. For 10 years, he designed bridges, performed structural inventory, and provided appraisal inspections for all of the bridges on the Indiana Toll Road – more than 100 bridges. Rob holds INDOT’s Local Public Agency project management and utility coordination certifi cations. His recent management, design and management experience includes:

Robert Zolcak, P.E. Project Manager / Bridge EngineerHANSON

• Rob is currently leading the design portion of design/build INDOT rehabilitations of SR 18 over the Tippecanoe River and SR 75 over Deer Creek in Carroll County.

• Rob led the structural design efforts for Indianapolis DPW’s Southport Road over Bunker Creek bridge crossing. He was also extensively involved in the structure’s bent design and plan revisions to meet shell pile size availability for the contractor, while at the same time keeping the project’s construction on schedule.

• For the Colfax Street/Bridge 108 emergency repairs project, Rob successfully generated design documents for contractor quotes in one week. He then led the structural design efforts for the 3-span, 82-foot cast-in-place concrete slab bridge replacement for the Colfax Street structure, which was completed on time and under budget.

• For the US 231 project, Rob effectively helped INDOT address budgetary issues while designing one of the structures in the West Lafayette area. A modifi ed design – using value engineering and an innovative realignment – reduced the two structures in the initial design into one, providing cost savings to INDOT.

• Sight distance correction was an issue for the SR 49 highway reconstruction project, and Rob successfully met this design challenge. He was part of the project team that “right-sized” the interchange, creating a design which provided a substantial cost savings – $4.55 million – a 39 percent reduction from the original construction cost estimate.

• For the US 136 CSX Bridge in Marion County, Rob teamed with CSX Railroad staff all the way through the design of the replacement structure and associated roadway, achieving the extreme skewing necessary while successfully maintaining rail and highway traffi c.

• Rob is currently leading the bridge superstructure design and overseeing the utility coordination for the Fox Hill Drive over Crooked Creek Bridge rehabilitation effort for the Indianapolis Department of Public Works. Rob has also been responsible for conducting the structural evaluation of the bridge, in addition to leading coordination efforts between multiple design consultants and stakeholders --- while keeping the project on schedule.

Key Staff

Tom has served as a project structural engineer and as a project manager on multiple high profi le and unique projects both in this country and abroad. These projects have included a wide variety of structural systems, such as bridges ranging from very small to a large cable-stayed bridge, cantilever retaining walls, soldier pile retaining walls, and mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls. He has been involved in all phases of transportation projects from planning to fi nal design and construction. He has performed single-mode and multi-mode seismic analyses for bridges and designed bridges using AASHTO seismic categories A, B, and C criteria. Prior to joining Hanson, Tom spent two years with the Illinois DOT designing bridges and reviewing plans from consultants.

Thomas Havenar, P.E., S.E. Senior Bridge EngineerHANSON

• Tom served as quality control reviewer for the SR 49 Interchange – SR 49’s substantial costs savings of $4.55 million (approximately a 39 percent reduction in the original construction cost estimate) – are thanks to a Hanson design concept that “right-sized” the interchange.

• Tom was the manager for the Interstate 55 over Lake Springfi eld project involving replacing two 3-lane, 1,545-ft. bridges with one 6-lane, 720 ft. bridge. Hanson’s design resulted in $3 million in construction cost savings, allowing the entire project to be constructed at one time instead of waiting 10 years to complete the second half.

• Under Tom’s direction, the Illinois 78 over Sangamon River project fi nished one month ahead of schedule, despite an additional length of roadway being added to the project improvements in the fi nal design phase.

With 24 years of experience, Roy routinely provides design services for reconstruction and rehabilitation projects throughout Indiana. He also has served as a project inspector, gaining valuable knowledge of both design and construction processes. One of Roy’s strengths is providing quality project plans that are easy to follow, shortening the review process and making the contractor’s job easier, resulting in fewer questions from the fi eld during construction.

Roy Milner, P.E. Roadway EngineerHANSON

• Roy provided roadway design for the US 231 Relocation project – a challenging project, threaded between Purdue University’s campus and airport, which included substantial stakeholder input and signifi cant scope changes to reduce the projected project cost. The value engineered design saved $7 million.

• Roy is currently providing roadway design for the Franklin Road improvements project in Lawrence. The conversion of this 4-lane facility to a reconstructed 3-lane roadway entails intersection modifi cations, offering signifi cant safety and traffi c effi ciencies through design functionality.

• Roy was part of the roadway design team for the SR 49 Interchange project which includes designing roundabouts at the SR 49/Vale Road interchange – a facility resulting in substantial costs savings of $4.55 million (approximately a 39 percent reduction in the original construction cost estimate), thanks to a Hanson design concept that “right-sized” the interchange.

B.S., Civil Engineering Technology,Southern Illinois University, 1989



Project ApproachThe key to a successful on call contract is responsiveness. The selected Consultant must give INDOT complete responsiveness at every moment during the entire life of the on call contract. That is exactly what INDOT can expect and should expect from its on call Consultant. That is what the DOT will get with Hanson --- our staff has a proven track record of completing INDOT on call work and we have the capacity to deliver.

Under this project development services contract, the Crawfordsville District staff will assign projects to Hanson on an as-needed basis. Varying degrees of project defi nition are anticipated. For some projects, only a need may be identifi ed, while for others, a detailed scope may be clearly defi ned. 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 agreement will be reached. Required activities for INDOT’s current contract may include some or all of the following:

Project Management

Hanson utilizes Bentley ProjectWise, the same application used in-house by INDOT personnel. With the utilization of ProjectWise, there is no confusion about which version of a document is the most current or fi nal draft.

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. 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 confl icts, 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 fi nalized 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.

Field Design Survey

Hanson, with help from our subconsultant partner Durham Engineering, Inc., will survey the project corridor limits using both conventional and GPS technology. Survey notices will be mailed out prior to the start of any surveying activities. Topographic and property surveys will be conducted. Our survey staff is fully equipped with Trimble GPS rovers and receivers, available for use for these projects.

As a part of our survey efforts, Hanson will also obtain the last deed of record, subdivision plats, and section or auditor plats for all properties within the project limits.

Soil InvestigationHanson has teamed with Earth Exploration, Inc. (EEI) to provide geotechnical services for this on-call contract. EEI brings a wide range of geotechnical engineering and materials testing, as well as experience and geological knowledge within the Crawfordsville District. EEI is staffed and equipped to provide fl exibility to meet the Crawfordsville District needs. EEI assigns each project, regardless of task, to a project manager who oversees the implementation of scheduling, sustains budget control, and prepares the technical report. To provide quality assurance, each report is reviewed by a principal engineer prior to client submittal. The geotechnical engineering staff of EEI will provide a thorough analysis and evaluation of subsurface conditions and interpret them into design criteria for foundation and earthwork systems. EEI draws on sound engineering principals and a broad background of experience in selecting the earthwork system best-suited for a project and does the design work with safety as well as economy in mind. EEI is prepared to resolve special problems caused by improper construction techniques or usual or unanticipated soil, water or rock conditions. In addition, EEI can provide pavement design for these on call assignments.

EnvironmentalHanson’s environmental team member ASC Group, Inc. will conduct early coordination with resource agencies (to help determine the potential impacts of the alternatives), survey land use and natural habitat, research archaeological records and socio-economic data, and will perform investigation and delineations of wetlands and Area of Potential Effect. Preparation of an Environmental Document, which will most likely be a Categorical Exclusion, will quantify impacts to the natural (as well as the human) environment, and will consider the cumulative effect of the construction. 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.

Bridge Design and Preparation of Construction Contract DocumentsOnce project scope is clearly and completely defi ned, the Hanson team will develop preliminary and then fi nal 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, specifi ed, quantifi ed and estimated. Project scope, cost, and schedule will be maintained through the design process.



Project ApproachRight of Way ServicesHanson will develop right of plans, parcel plats, legal descriptions, transfer documents, and, if requested, provide right of way staking. Title and Encumbrance Reports will be provided by Hanson’s subconsultant Dodd Title Corporation. Per the work description included in the RFP, INDOT will perform any right of way acquisition services that may be needed.

PermittingHanson team member ASC Group, Inc. will identify the needed permits and will be responsible for making applications for the permits. Potential permits include IDNR Construction in a Floodway Permit; 401/404 Permits, and Rule 5 Permit.

Construction Phase ServicesHanson is committed to standing behind our design plans. After the fi nal 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 specifi cations.

QualityWhile providing these services, Hanson will utilize its formal corporate Quality Assurance/ Quality Control (QA/QC) program. Hanson’s philosophy is that quality is a continuous process, not just an “add on” at the end of a project. While review guides and checklists can be used to detect document errors, the fi rm’s approach is to prevent errors or to detect them immediately. Hanson’s QA/QC procedures will be used in all phases of project development.

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 benefi t. 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 traffi c

• Economic structure type selection

• Cost-effective drainage systems

• Minimization of right of way footprint

• Avoidance of environmental impacts

• Optimal pavement treatment and design

Project UnderstandingHanson has completed several projects under a previous similar Project Development Services agreement. We understand that assignments made under these agreements are often projects with diffi cult 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, traffi c, 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 offi ce locations will not routinely be involved in these assignments, when special expertise is needed, they can be called upon. By utilizing the expertise of our Springfi eld, Illinois staff, we recently were able to provide hydrogeologic services on an INDOT project that needed specialized well protection analysis. Our local consultant fi rm teammates fi ll 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 benefi t their customers to the greatest extent possible. That charge is therefore Hanson’s goal.

Team CommitmentHow we work starts with our staff --- our people bring their years of experience and hands-on involvement to each new project. 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 provide honest review to continuously improve each project. INDOT Project Managers have seen Hanson’s hands-on approach to projects, and we look forward to continuing this methodology for the Crawfordsville District.



Project Portfolio

Carroll County, Indiana

When completed, the two 1960-era bridges on two Indiana state routes will provide the residents of Carroll County much-needed rehabilitated structures. Hanson is working with design/build partner LaPorte Construction Company on these recently-awarded INDOT structures. The fi rst, State Route 18 over the Tippecanoe River, and the second, State Route 75 over Deer Creek, will both involve bridge deck overlays. In addition, the SR 18 Bridge includes design of new bridge railing, end bents, approach slabs and guardrail. The SR 18 Bridge’s design will also entail temporary bridge supports for the structure’s beams during end bent construction. The SR 75 structure’s design includes new approach slabs and concrete bridge rail transitions. For both bridges, Hanson is providing maintenance of traffi c design, and utility coordination is being conducted by an INDOT-certifi ed utility coordinator in order to meet the Department’s requirements. We are providing plans, specifi cations and supporting documents as part of our design services to the DOT. The LaPorte Construction/Hanson project team’s largest challenge will be 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.

The existing bridge carrying Southport Road over Bunker Creek was in very poor condition, and the Indianapolis Department of Public Works selected Hanson to provide comprehensive design services for its replacement. The new structure is a single span precast prestressed modifi ed bulb-tee superstructure, 85 feet long and 35 feet wide, with end bents supported on piling. This width has been designed to accommodate a potential future sidewalk. Roadway improvements were necessary in order to tie the new bridge profi le and width into the existing, and to accommodate standard guardrail lengths. The crossing has a signifi cant skew. Some channel realignment was also part of the project’s scope. At the preconstruction meeting, the contractor made a request to change the shell pile size due to pile availability. Hanson voluntarily revised the bend design and the plans in order to meet the request, keeping the project on schedule.

Indianapolis, Indiana

Originally constructed in 1959, the Fox Hill Drive over Crooked Creek bridge structure is in need of rehabilitation. Deterioration of the bridge’s superstructure --- including railings, sidewalk, deck, beams and bent caps --- and roadway approaches made restoration necessary from a safety standpoint. Hanson was selected by the City for this design undertaking. We are in the process of preparing plans and specifi cations for the new bridge superstructure, which will consist of prestressed box beams, with the deck slightly wider than the existing to accommodate wider sidewalks, replacement of approach slabs, and reconstruction of the 2-lane asphalt roadway approaches, of which improvements will run through the Fox Hill/Grandview intersection. The key challenge for roadway engineers involves keeping the roadway approach improvements confi ned to the existing right of way while providing space for a future sidewalk. Hanson staff has been responsible for leading coordination efforts between multiple stakeholders, including utilities, design consultants and local agencies (City and INDOT staff). The end result will be successfully obtaining all necessary permits, completing the LPA submittal process and keeping the project on schedule (of which it is currently). The Fox Hill Drive project also involves structural evaluation of the bridge and surveying services.

Lake County, Indiana

Lake County selected Hanson to conduct a study and the subsequent design of Bridge 241’s rehabilitation. The study involved the analysis of the methods to best repair the 34 interior piles of the structure, which carries Kennedy Avenue over the Grand Calumet River. Engineers are also providing standard rehabilitation procedures for the structure’s superstructure and roadway approaches. Engineers completed a fi eld inspection of the bridge site, with the primary objective being to visually inspect the various structural elements.

Bridge 241’s repairs include new asphalt pavement alongside the bridge’s approach slabs, new bridge railing and bridge rail transitions, new curved terminal end treatments, new reinforced concrete bridge approaches, modifi cations to the existing end bents to an integral/semi-integral confi guration, new surface seal approach slabs, full depth or partial depth patching to entire bridge decking, surface milling of the existing deck and new bridge deck overlay, fi lling a scour hole in the channel with riprap, and interior pile repairs. Environmental services include a Categorical Exclusion (CE) Level 1, a Section 404 permit application, and a 401 Section 401 Water Quality Certifi cation Regional General Permit Notifi cation. Project team members are also developing a maintenance of traffi c plan and have started utility coordination, in addition to geotechnical evaluation and pile integrity testing. A topographic survey of the project corridor has also been completed.

One challenge for the Bridge 241 project will be utility coordination --- high pressure gas lines are located on each outside coping line.

Hanson engineers have come up with a cost-saving innovative solution to repair the structure’s interior bents – we are including the utilization of ‘structural steel jackets’ in our plans – a proprietary item that will be used for the fi rst time on a project in the State of Indiana. This innovation will reduce project costs by up to 50 percent.

Project Portfolio

Lake County, Indiana

Lake County Bridge No. 108 carries Colfax Street over Brown Ditch. The existing structure was in very poor condition and was closed to traffi c in late 2012 due to incremental settlement at the north interior support. The existing timber piles and the timber pile cap were splitting and crushing to an extent that closure was required. Hanson provided a temporary emergency repair design that shored the superstructure at the failed support, for which design documents for contractor quotes were completed in one week. The temporary shoring provided capacity for two lanes of traffi c and a 10 ton load, and was intended to keep the bridge in service and the roadway open to traffi c only until a replacement structure could be designed and constructed.

Lake County then selected Hanson to provide comprehensive design and construction inspection services for Bridge 108’s replacement. The new structure is a three-span cast-in-place concrete slab bridge. The spans are 26 feet - 30 feet - 26 feet, for a total structure length of about 82 feet. The structure’s end bents and interior piers are supported on piles. The width of the new structure is 30 feet and includes two 11-foot lanes. Roadway improvements were necessary to tie the new bridge profi le and width into the existing, and to accommodate standard guardrail lengths. Minor channel grading was also part of the project’s scope. Construction observation services encompassed the new bridge, roadway improvements, and minor channel grading. On-site inspection has included demolition, embankment and stone placement, drainage improvements, steel piling installation, asphalt and concrete placement, and permanent pavement markings. Bridge 108 opened to the public mid-November of 2014, fi nishing on time and under budget.

Monroe County, Indiana

Hanson was selected to provide roadway and bridge design, surveying, and construction inspection services for this locally funded roadway reconstruction project. The project scope involved the rehabilitation of a bridge, which, together with a lower roadway grade design, increased the under clearance by four feet – a design that now accommodates emergency-responding equipment to pass under the bridge. Hanson chose to replace the bridge superstructure on the existing substructure while lowering the road, providing Monroe County with an economical solution and a safer rail crossing than the at-grade option.

This project required extensive coordination with the Monroe County Highway Department, Monroe County Airport (as the bridge is in the approach to the primary runway), Indiana Railroad, FAA and INDOT. Utilities – including power, water, gas, fi ber optics, telephone, cable, etc. – passed through the underpass, and they had to be relocated by the specifi c utility all within a timely and well-coordinated manner.

Project Portfolio

Timberlane, Illinois

Selected by the Village of Timberlane to provide preliminary and fi nal engineering services for the Orth Road box culvert structure, Hanson’s services involved the complete replacement of the existing box and pipe culverts utilizing federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) funds. The new structure is a multi-cell pre-cast concrete box culvert, accommodating two 12 ft. lanes and 8 ft. shoulders on each side. Preliminary engineering services involved a Bridge Condition Report (BCR) and topographic survey of the existing bridge and surrounding features, including cross-sections of the drainage structure utilized for hydraulic analysis. Existing hydraulic data and fl ood studies was used to evaluate the required waterway opening for the new structure, and a hydraulic analysis was performed to determine stage elevations and fl ows for the design year and 100-year fl oods. Hanson was also responsible for the preparation of a joint permit application for submittal to the Army Corps of Engineers, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and the Illinois DOT. Final design services included the preparation of preliminary plans, specifi cations and estimates for the multi-cell precast concrete box culvert structure. Throughout preliminary and fi nal design, Hanson was responsible for project management and coordination with the Village of Timberlane and the DOT.

The Morsay Drive Bridge is located immediately east of Fairview Drive in Rockford and carries four lanes of traffi c (two in each direction) over Keith Creek. It consists of a two-span reinforced concrete slab superstructure on closed concrete abutments and a solid concrete wall pier. The pier and abutments are founded on timber piles. Through the bridge, the roadway is horizontally curved; for this reason, the deck width varies and accommodates super-elevation. Hanson engineers provided preliminary and fi nal design and construction engineering services for an in-kind superstructure replacement. The existing substructure was rehabilitated as required. The feasibility of staged construction was evaluated and compared to the costs for staged construction and road closure. Approach roadway improvements were necessary to accommodate superstructure replacement and staged construction. The condition of the northwest stream bank immediately adjacent to the structure was evaluated to determine if bank stabilization measures were necessary. A topographic survey included a stream profi le and cross-sections of the drainage structure to be utilized for hydraulic analysis to determine stage elevations, fl ows, and velocities for the design year and 100-year fl oods. LRFD design was used for the new superstructure.
