<br />Structural Engineering
<br />
<br />Structural engineering is often integral to full-service civil engineering, and our structural engineers are experienced in bridge design,
<br />warehouse and industrial facilities planning, stormwater and water management structures, as well as design for municipal facilities and
<br />transportation-related structures. KHA's structural staff has provided design services for a variety of different project types. Our engineers
<br />are very familiar with local, state, federal, and national design codes and requirements. Our staff is well versed in the design and analysis
<br />of concrete, steel, wood, and masonry structures. Services include, but are not limited to: traffic signal/light pole analysis; retaining wall
<br />and box culvert design; foundation design and analysis; and building/bridge design and rehabilitation. Collectively, our engineers have
<br />been responsible for the design of 700 bridges and inspection of more than 3,500 bridges, many of which have also included hydraulic
<br />analyses. With staff certified in both bridge inspection and scuba diving, we have logged hundreds of hours of underwater inspections.
<br />
<br />Preparation of Complete Construction Contract Plans/Special Provisions
<br />
<br />We invest significant energy during design and construction to help the construction process proceed smoothly. The first step in making
<br />the construction flow seamlessly is a well-conceived design, with a complete set of plans and specifications that gives the contractor
<br />thorough instructions. At KHA, we invest the extra effort during design to accomplish this goal. Often, we have been complimented by
<br />contractors on the completeness and clarity of our plans. A clear set of plans leads to fewer questions and problems, and ultimately,
<br />fewer change orders. We take pride in designing "buildable" plans, and our knowledge of construction issues and costs is evidenced by
<br />the firm's outstanding record of on-time and on-budget completions.
<br />
<br />Public Involvement
<br />
<br />Public support is important because it often determines overall design programs, funding strategies, implementation priorities, and
<br />ultimately the successful completion of projects. KHA is a statewide leader in public involvement and has received awards from the
<br />American Planning Association (APA) and the American Society of Landscape Architects (AS LA) for our work in this area.
<br />
<br />Our planners, engineers, and scientists have extensive experience in public involvement at both local and regional levels. We have
<br />conducted numerous public involvement activities ranging from PD&E studies to statewide plans. We are strongly committed to
<br />conducting public participation programs that educate, inform, and build consensus for a particular solution. Each project is different
<br />in terms of the stakeholders and the critical issues involved-thus, each public involvement program must be tailored to specifically
<br />address the project's needs. Our team can offer the following public involvement services:
<br />
<br />. Town Hall meetings
<br />. Stakeholder meetings
<br />. SmartBoard presentations
<br />. PowerPoint presentations
<br />. Workshop design and facilitation
<br />. Charrette design and facilitation
<br />
<br />. Media interviews
<br />. Innovative notification techniques (postcards, flyers, website announcements,
<br />email remainders, and press releases for television/radio)
<br />. Educational seminars
<br />. Extensive graphics support, including 3-D modeling
<br />
<br />Post Design Services
<br />
<br />An important and essential aspect of any project includes the administration, financial, and closing documentation portions of a
<br />project. These include but are not limited to bidding and award documentation, construction documentation and reporting, design and
<br />construction reports and associated documentation, billing and associated Requests for Reimbursements, and disadvantaged business
<br />enterprise documentation. Our team has an experienced and successful track record with each of these elements and can guide the
<br />City through these steps. In addition, KHA offers the services of full-time professional accounting and administrative staff to support our
<br />project team. Our accountants can provide accurate billings, Request for Reimbursement, and other administrative support and can
<br />provide quality control for these types of activities.
<br />
<br />Bid Administration
<br />
<br />Upon completion and approval of contract documents, our team is prepared to assist the City in the bidding and award of proposed
<br />improvements. KHA will prepare and can distribute bid documents on behalf of the City, provide contractor recommendations for
<br />prequalification of potential bidders, attend pre-bid conferences, review contractor bids and prepare bid tabulation, and provide contract
<br />award recommendations. Although our aim is to prepare a plan set that can stand by itself, we will respond to contractor requests for
<br />information and clarification in a timely manner.
