PUBLIC PROJECTS

Summit Drive ADA Improvement Project

  • Surveying
  • Design
  • Construction Management
  • Inspection Services

This City of Bend project consisted of replacing 92 ADA ramps and associated sidewalk on Summit Drive over Awbrey Butte. The road grades in this area are as steep as 9%.  HWA provided surveying, design, construction management, and inspection services for the City of Bend. The new compliant curb ramps and landings, which meet PROWAG regulations, required creative solutions for working in and around existing facilities, including walls, fences, utility poles, structures, and existing landscaping.

ODOT North 3rd Street Pedestrian Connectivity Project

  • Project Management
  • Surveying
  • Engineering
  • Construction Document Preparation

HWA worked closely with the City of Bend to successfully deliver this ODOT administered project. The project goals were to provide pedestrian connectivity and ADA complaint facilities along this busy major arterial. HWA provided the project management, surveying, engineering, and construction document preparation services necessary for the replacement and/or installation of approximately 1100-feet of sidewalk and associated ADA facilities.  Design work for this project was completed within the budget and a tight schedule driven by the grant funding requirements. HWA was also responsible for the CE/CA of the project during the fall of 2011.

South Third Street Pedestrian Improvement Project

  • Topography  Survey
  • ADA Ramp Designs
  • Construction Plans, Specifications, Cost Estimates

HWA was teamed with OBEC and Lancaster Engineering to provide survey and design services for this City of Bend project to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety on this 2.4-mile section of busy major arterial roadway. This project was administered through ODOT due to the funding source. The project construction was recently completed. HWA has provided a detailed topographic survey of the entire corridor, prepared detailed ADA ramp designs, and construction plans, specifications, and cost estimates. Due to the retro-fit nature of the project, creative designs have been required to provide safe, compliant facilities within the existing development and Right-of-Way constraints.

Phase 2 ADA Improvement Project

  • Surveying
  • Design
  • Construction Management

In June of 2010, HWA completed the construction plans and specifications for the Downtown District, Downtown Core, and Bus Route & Overly bid packages. These three separate construction contracts were completed in the fall of 2010. HWA provided surveying, design, and construction management services to the City of Bend. In total, the project included the reconstruction of approximately 180 curb ramps. The ADA requirements for location of the new compliant curb ramps and landings required creative solutions for working in and around existing facilities, including walls, fences, utility poles, structures, and pedestrian crosswalk amenities.

General Obligation Bond Transportation Improvements

  • Engineering Construction Documents Preparation
  • Topography Surveys
  • Boundary Resolutions
  • Legal Exhibits

HWA was a key member of a team assembled to deliver this $30 million City of Bend roadway improvement project along Reed Market Road.  HWA was responsible for preparing the engineering construction documents for the Reed Market Road stretch bordered by the railroad crossing to the west, and Newberry Drive to the east, and included the 15th Street roundabout. In addition, HWA also prepared topographic surveys, boundary resolutions, and legal exhibits for the entire project corridor.

Utility infrastructure improvements included 8-inch gravity sewer mains with external drop manhole design, 8-inch and 15-inch gravity storm sewer mains, a 16-inch water main extension, and franchise utilities in an area with significant existing constraints.

The transition of the Reed Market Road and 15th Street intersection to a completed roundabout required creative design elements around established existing obstacles and utilities, conscientious traffic control phasing, area business and public relations, and thorough utility coordination in order to ensure a smooth construction process with limited interruptions.

  • Design
  • Engineering
  • Construction Management

HWA provided surveying, engineering and construction management services to help the City of Bend complete a half-mile long pedestrian, bicycle, and traffic calming project on Galveston Avenue between 14th Street and Lindsey Court. The project added sidewalks, twenty-two ADA curb ramps, and bike lanes to a busy section of roadway through an established neighborhood. The project included traffic calming measures such as varying roadway widths, landscaping, raised medians, striping, a curvilinear alignment, and on street parking.  HWA provided topographic surveying and mapping, designed the improvements, prepared construction drawings, resolved right-of-way boundaries in the corridor, and provided construction management services.

5th and 6th Street Improvements

  • Construction Documents, Specifications, Cost Estimates
  • Curb Ramp Grading Details
  • Engineering Services

In 2009, HWA designed and prepared construction documents for the City of Redmond’s 5th Street Improvement Project that replaced roadway, sidewalks, intersections, eighty-eight (88) curb ramps, drainage facilities, a water main, and water meters along 15 blocks within the historic downtown district. HWA completed the project on an accelerated schedule – going from 15% design to 95% design in just five weeks. The rapid schedule was necessary to ensure that Redmond would qualify to receive ARRA funding for the project. The project was prepared using ODOT standards. HWA prepared construction plans, specifications, cost estimates, and curb ramp grading details. HWA also served as a sub consultant to W&H Pacific during the CE/CA phase of the project to provide engineering services, answer construction questions, respond to RFI’s and assist with other tasks as needed. Construction was completed in July of 2010.

Following completion of 5th Street, HWA began preparation of design and construction documents for 6th Street. The project is similar in scope to 5th Street and replaces curb, sidewalk, seventy-six ADA ramps, eleven intersections, pavement, and bike lanes for approximately 1 mile of arterial roadway through Redmond’s business district. This section is currently under construction, and HWA is providing supplemental CE/CA services to ODOT.

  • Project Management

HWA was the team lead for this City of Bend sewer main extension project, providing an important link for the City’s overall Southeast Interceptor sewer transmission main project for additional required capacity as the City continues to grow.  The project included the design of over 6,800 feet of 8-inch through 24-inch sewer mains within existing roadways in an area with high traffic use, and adjacent to St. Charles Hospital and Bend Memorial Clinic.  HWA’s survey staff provided a full topographic survey of the project, including boundary resolutions, and easement preparations at critical locations along the sewer alignment.

As the lead engineering and project management firm, HWA provided extensive engineering designs of the sewer infrastructure and associated improvements through road corridors with many existing major utilities.   HWA has managed the project overall over a team that includes staff from five different firms and delivered the complete Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E) package on time and well under budget.  Construction was completed in early February, 2018.

Private Projects

St. Charles Expansion and Offsite Storm Sewer and Water Main

  • Design
  • Stormwater Management Solutions

This expansion project included the design of accessible site, parking and emergency vehicle circulation elements for this important and central hospital facility in Madras.  In an area with very poor drainage, creative storm water management solutions were incorporated in order to maintain the historical runoff flows while capturing the drainage from the significant increase in hardscape and roof areas.  Solutions included underground chambers for runoff storage, and a weir vault to limit the outfall to the City storm sewer system. 

Along with the on-site development, this project included the design and construction of over 1,200 feet of off-site 18” storm sewer and associated lateral piping, manholes, and catch basins within existing streets.  As part of this project, HWA also completed the design of over 800 feet of 10-inch and 12-inch water main within ‘A’ Street along with associated fire service laterals, hydrants, and pressure reducing valves, completing a tie-in to the DVWD system for the hospital’s fire service.
