CR 67, Motor Parkway Reconstruction, LIE South Service Road to CR 17, Wheeler Road (CI)

LKB Engineering was retained by Suffolk County Department of Public Works to perform Preliminary and Final Design Phases I-VI as well as construction support services for this federally-aided project. Elements for this project included data collection and analysis, survey and mapping, capacity analysis, subsurface investigation, preliminary investigations and detailed environmental studies including ground water, air quality and noise, and alternative alignment studies.

A Design Report was prepared based upon this preliminary work. Two public meetings and a public hearing were conducted. Final design included the preparation of plans and specifications for the replacement bridge and the modifications of approximately one mile of approach roadways. Final design elements included the replacement of the existing five lane wide/four simple span bridge with an eight-lane wide/two span continuous structure. Roadway and underbridge lighting, improved drainage, and right-of-way takings were required. The project required the addition of turning and/or through lanes to handle traffic congestion, and stage construction to accommodate traffic during construction.

Upon acceptance of the contract documents, LKB Engineering provided services during the bidding phase, which included responding to inquiries from prospective bidders; review of contractors’ qualifications and references; preparation of a bid summary; and recommendation of the award to the lowest responsible and qualified bidder. LKB Engineering’s construction support services during the construction phase included review and approval of detailed shop drawings, catalog cuts, and miscellaneous submittals for compliance with contract documents; review and responses to RFI’s (Request for Information) and Change Order Requests; and attendance of progress and project meetings, as necessary.
