Engineering Design and Construction Management Services for Campus Streets, Roadways and ADA Repairs, Dillard University

Trigon was the prime for this project to provide engineering design and construction management services for $1.2 million of Post-Hurricane Katrina rehabilitation to sidewalks, roadways and ADA repairs on the campus of Dillard University.

Trigon coordinated the effort with the University, FEMA, City of New Orleans and GOHSEP. Damage identification and documentation by Trigon (based on flooding and post-hurricane response/recovery activities) increased the scope of roadway to be repaired, to the benefit of the University and students. The project was put on hold as the University negotiates a version to the FEMA Project Worksheet (PW) to incorporate the repair items identified in the Project Scoping Report prepared by Trigon in early 2015.

Trigon provided the following general services:
Management and oversight of surveying and incorporation of results into design.
Design of the improvements, including site visits to verify field conditions and
preparation of contract documents (specifications and drawings).
Preparation of opinion of probable construction cost.
Bid phase services to support the City in successfully bidding and awarding the construction contract, including attendance at pre-bid meeting, issuing addenda, attending bid opening, preparing bid tabulation sheets, and assisting the City with evaluating the bids.
Construction phase services, particularly with respect to conducting the pre-construction conference, technical review of submittals, responding to RFIs, periodic site visits to observe work progress, and support to the City in contract closeout procedures.
