FAMILIARITY OF THE FIRM WITH THE AREA OF STUDY
Johnson, Depp & Quisenberry has a history of major roadway design in Owensboro as well as the many subdivision streets built by our plans. JDQ is well acquainted with the Martin Luther King Loop area and has designed roadway and structures similar in nature to those being proposed for this project.
On the J. R. Miller
Boulevard project JDQ provided the location and design of a new
city street across agricultural land for approximately 1/2 mile and then
following an old railroad bed and within that right-of-way for an additional
3.4 miles. The street was designed as
3-lanes including a continuous left turn lane with curb and gutter for the
entire length. Roadway drainage was
contained within the roadway via a separate drainage system to keep additional
runoff out of an already overloaded city storm system. Fifteen street intersections and one
railroad crossing were designed, as were retaining walls to protect industrial
concerns. The estimated cost exceeded
programmed funds, so the Kentucky Department of Highways turned the project
ownership over to the City of Owensboro and the project was redesigned to City
specifications at a considerable savings.
Johnson,
Depp & Quisenberry has designed
several projects on Byers Avenue in Owensboro.
On Byers Avenue to KY 54, the
access to the Christian Church Homes campus was designed to meet City
standards. This short street (1,100
feet) included curb and gutter, storm sewer, culverts, detention analysis,
removal of paved medians on KY 54 to provide a left turn lane, pavement
striping and resurfacing. JDQ was
also responsible for construction inspection and testing, and contract document
preparation and specifications.
On Byers Avenue at
Horse Fork Creek, our work included survey and design of a two-lane urban
street and bridge over Horse Fork Creek.
JDQ
was responsible for preparation of construction plans, bridge hydraulics,
floodplain permits, structural design and detailing, checking shop drawings,
construction inspection and testing, and some utility relocations.
And on Byers Avenue
at Veach Road, JDQ prepared contract documents and
specifications, performed construction inspection, property owner mitigation
and testing for construction of a segment of city street designed by the City
Engineering Department.
Johnson,
Depp & Quisenberry provided
design and construction engineering services for the J. R. Miller Extension project.
This project, when completed, will be the East Martin Luther King Jr. Loop. The scope of this project was to
extend the existing J. R. Miller Blvd. from Southtown Blvd. Southward along the
old railroad right-of-way to a point south of the Owensboro Center and then
Westward to an intersection with US 431.
A connector road (Theater Way) was included in the project. JDQ provided studies of alternate location
alignments taking into account drainage, construction cost, right-of-way cost
and effects on utilities within the project corridor. Each alternate also addressed the location and construction of
the Greenbelt. The results of this
phase of the project were published in a Project Location Study Report.
JDQ prepared right-of-way acquisition documentation in the form
of plats and deed descriptions to assist the City in the purchase of needed
property.
JDQ prepared all
construction documents and a Project Manual with specifications. JDQ assisted the City with the bidding
process, prepared bid tabulations, and recommended a responsive and responsible
contractor. JDQ is providing full time
construction inspection and materials testing for this project.
Johnson, Depp & Quisenberry recently provided design service to the City on the Scherm Road Ditch Repair project. This
project involved the repair of a ditch bank slide along the edge of pavement on
Scherm Road between Christie Place and a previously repaired slide located
approximately 450’ downstream from the Christie Place/Scherm Road intersection
using a 16’ wide rectangular structural channel section. Plans were also prepared for the
construction of a 16’x6’ reinforced concrete box culvert under Chippewa
Drive. This project included the
preparation of all construction documents and a Project Manual with
specifications. JDQ assisted the City with the bidding process, prepared bid tabulations, and
recommended a responsive and responsible contractor.
JDQ provided design and construction engineering
services for the Grimes Avenue
Reconstruction project. This
project upgraded an 18’ wide urban street with side ditches to a 40’ wide curb
and gutter section with storm sewers for 0.6 miles south of the CSX railroad
crossing. JDQ prepared all construction documents and a Project Manual
with specifications. JDQ
assisted the City with the bidding process, prepared bid tabulations,
and recommended a responsive and responsible contractor. JDQ provided full time construction inspection and
materials testing for this project.
