b. Primary Office

All work will be performed out of Michael Baker’s Norcross office, which is our base office for transportation projects in Georgia. This office has a comprehensive staff of professionals experienced in the essential disciplines needed to provide this project to the Department on scope, schedule and budget. Out staff includes nine Road Designers, four Structural Engineers, two Traffic Professionals and two Environmental Scientists. This group of professionals have been working together for over 10 years and has the experience for interchange reconstruction projects with collector-distributor systems. Our team was not just assembled for this project. We have worked together successfully for a long time. The knowledge gained over the years of serving the Department allows Michael Baker management to accurately staff projects to ensure projects are designed within scope, schedule and budget. We have the ability and availability to fulfill all of the Department’s goals with the project.

c. Additional Resource Areas and Ability

Experience – Michael Baker’s Norcross office has designed 5 limited access interchange projects over the past 18 years. Many of those projects were designed by the individuals assigned to this project, and recent additions of new staff only adds to Michael Baker’s level of competence and expertise. Michael Baker designed the Bouldercrest Road at South River Bridge and we had to be familiar with this project. There are a lot of moving parts to this project. The Michael Baker Team has the knowledge and ability to make this a successful project for the Department. We understand how MS-4 requirements must address runoff quality and quantity and this will be incorporated into the design.

Availability – At this time our local staff is well below utilization capacity as we have only been selected on ONE project (a small single bridge replacement) out of program delivery since 2007, and could take on several major projects before reaching capacity.

Scope, Schedule and Budget – The scope, schedule and budget have been established for this project. The Michael Baker Team will keep the project within the scope as defined in the approved concept. The schedule as mentioned in the RFQ will not present any problems to the team. We will tightly manage the design to ensure no additional environmental issues arise. We are also experienced with Interchange Modifications Reports and FHWA coordination and know these items could have an effect on project schedules. These items will also be managed to not have any delays to the project. Michael Baker also possesses LIDAR capabilities to expedite the survey effort if needed.

Environmental Issues – The Michael Baker Team has extensive experience with the preparation of environmental permits so the updates to the special studies will present no problems. This project will require a lot of coordination with stakeholders such as business groups, homeowners associations and all property owners. We have the experience required to formulate all the ideas from these groups into a successful project. This project also has environmental justice issues which will trigger the requirements of Executive Order 12898 and Title VI. There is also historic resources within the project corridor which will be addressed during the design process. The Michael Baker Team is experienced with the special studies requirements for this project and will update the studies expeditiously to ensure the schedule is not affected.

Right of Way Acquisition – The acquisition of proposed right of way and easements has the potential to impact a project schedule. The Michael Baker Team has acquired the services of Manley Acquisition Services to ensure this potential is not realized. Manley has performed right of way services on GDOT design-build projects so they know how to deliver right of way and not adversely affect the project schedule. They have the highest degree of experience to deliver projects on schedule.

Constructability – As with any project of this magnitude, staging is key. Traffic must be maintained during the construction so that motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists have access to all of the services and roadways within the project. The Michael Baker Team has the expertise to ensure the project is properly staged so that traffic and access will be maintained during the construction process.

Value Engineering Experience – Even though a Value Engineering Study has been completed on this project, the Michael Baker Team has members with Value Engineering Study experience to ensure the Department will receive the most value for every dollar spent. Michael Baker also has a Certified Value Specialist on staff to help with any possible items that may contribute value to the project. Of course, Department approval will be obtained before any implementation occurs.
