b. Primary Office: The primary office responsible for managing and handling these two projects will be MA’s headquarters office in Duluth, Georgia. Our proposed project manager, Joe McGrew, PE, and all the key resources (Efren Dilidili, PE, Steven Jing, PE, and L.N. Manchi, PE) will be supported by both the named staff in the organization chart and our total resources in Duluth. Duluth is MA’s main headquarters and is modeled as a mini-DOT with business units for survey, roadway, traffic engineering, structural/bridge, planning, environmental, right of way, hydraulics, geotechnical (AASHTO-certified laboratory), and others being housed in this facility. The benefit of having the subject matter experts in the same facility is a tremendous asset that allows our staff to quickly react to any project issue and have unified coordination with project stakeholders. MA and the proposed team are quite familiar with both of these project sites. The SR 8/Ponce de Leon bridge is a vital arterial roadway and pedestrian connection in the Druid Hills historic district. For pedestrians, it connects two of the historic Olmsted linear park units – Shady Side and Oakgrove. MA managed the restoration of these facilities through our TE contract with GDOT. Our rail planners are familiar with the Peachtree Road bridge over the CSX railroad from our numerous rail planning contracts with GDOT.

The Duluth office is located approximately 40 minutes from each proposed project and 30 minutes from GDOT’s general office. Our subconsultants – CCR Environmental, Long Engineering, and Morrison Design – are located within 30 minutes of MA’s Duluth office and 30 minutes of GDOT headquarters. MA has worked with all three consultants for many years and there is an established project coordination process that is extremely effective. The benefit is that this close proximity, along with MA’s low overhead, creates cost savings for GDOT.

c. Narrative on Additional Resource Areas and Ability: Joe McGrew, PE, project manager, will coordinate all major activities and will be the primary contact with the GDOT project manager. Joe has more than enough resource time capacity to manage this project. As the project manager, Joe will have weekly coordination meetings with the appropriate staff, such as lead roadway engineer, project traffic engineer, roadway hydraulic engineer, QC/QA engineer, and others as deemed necessary. He will also coordinate all appropriate progress reports, schedules, etc. to the GDOT project manager as required. Each project has unique characteristics requiring a team approach and robust public outreach efforts. The Ponce de Leon bridge rehabilitation needs to carefully reflect the character of its historic setting. The Peachtree Road bridge will require coordination with the City of Atlanta and adjacent proposed beltline facilities to accommodate the high volume of pedestrian traffic, as well as vehicles and buses. Joe has successfully managed other projects in sensitive environmental areas.

Upon award of the contract, Joe’s initial task will be to develop a final concept, budget, and schedule for each site. During the development of the concepts, Joe will work closely with Efren Dilidili, PE, lead roadway engineer, and L.N. Manchi, PE, NEPA lead, to identify the critical areas that need to be addressed. This includes wetlands, stream impacts, and potential historic sites.

Prior to concept submittals, M.J. Sheehan, PE, QC/QA, will review the report. M.J. will also review the plans for each major item and milestone prior to submittal at GDOT. The reviews include profile/grade, PFPR plans, FFPR plans, right-of-way plans, and final plans. Railroad coordination will be a key task for the Peachtree Road bridge replacement project. The volume of roadway traffic and proximity to a major regional healthcare facility, Piedmont Hospital, will also require careful development of staging plans and special provisions for maintenance of traffic. Upon concept approval, M.J. will coordinate through the GDOT project manager the survey request for GDOT to provide. NEPA, SUE, and design activities will begin. Efren Dilidili, PE, will be supported in the design by Ralph Ramsdell and Ken Timpson, PE. Ralph has 35 years of design experience and was a design engineer for many large projects in Georgia, including the I-85/SR 316 Interchange in Gwinnett County; Jodeco Road at I-75 in Henry County; and I-75 improvements and state route widenings in Cook and Lowndes Counties. Ken has more than 21 years of design experience with projects such as McGinnis Ferry Road at SR 400 in Forsyth County and Jennings Mill Parkway Extension in Oconee County. Both have extensive knowledge of the Department’s Design Policy and Procedures, AASHTO Design Guidelines, etc. Don Jones, RLS, will lead our survey activities.

Yong Shao, PE, PHD, will be responsible for any geotechnical work, soil surveys, or pavement evaluations/designs. Yong has more than 15 years of experience and manages MA’s geotechnical section and our AASHTO-certified laboratory. Roadway hydraulic design will be performed by Eric Brown, PE, who leads MA’s efforts in this area and in MS4 requirements. Eric has more than 28 years of experience with highway design and hydraulic modeling with the required software, HEC-RAS, HY-8, StormCAD and other hydraulics and hydrology software. Bill Ingalsbe, PE, with Long Engineering (a DBE firm), who recently retired from GDOT’s Bridge Office, will provide the bridge hydrology design. Brandy Morrison, of Morrison Design (a DBE firm), will provide Joe her expertise in historic architectural rehabilitation. Her award-winning work in documenting historic bridges and structures on the Atlanta BeltLine will be an asset to the Department.

The same team, both key leads and support staff, has worked together on a number of projects. They work together well and work well with GDOT staff.

MA’s team has the depth, resources, and work load capacity to complete this work on schedule. Joe is a proven project manager with the time available to exceed GDOT’s expectations. We note the schedule given in the RFQ to have the projects let in 2018. The workload of our entire team has been projected and we are committed to meeting the Department’s overall schedule.
