Federal Match Div III (Crosstown Phase 2) – The second of five phases of the
Crosstown (Spring/Fishburne) project includes improvements to the surface
collection and conveyance system on Spring and Cannon Streets from the western
terminus of the first phase of the project (Septima Clark Parkway) to Lockwood Blvd,
President Street from Cannon St to Fishburne St (excluding the portions improved
during the first phase), Fishburne St from Harmon Field to Ashley Ave, and Ashley
Ave from Fishburne St to Sumter St. Drilled drop shafts will also be constructed
during this phase of the project in anticipation of the tunneling portion (Phase 3), as
well as pedestrian, vehicular, and landscaping improvements. The City of
Charleston is receiving Federal Match money (50/50 grant) from the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) funneled through SCDOT. The City is
administering the project as an LPA (Local Public Agency) which has a plethora of
special reporting requirements. Crowder Construction is the low bidder on the
project and the City has received the requisite SCDOT concurrence to award the
project to them. It is anticipated the project will break ground sometime in April 2015
with the contract duration being 600 days. For information only.
2. Amendment #11 for Davis & Floyd Spring/Fishburne Design Contract –
Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI) for Crosstown Phase 2 –
Construction Engineering & Inspection services are being provided by Davis & Floyd
(with Black & Veatch as sub-consultants for the drilled drop shafts) for the second
phase of the Crosstown project. The scope and scale of this phase of the project, as
well as the requirements of the LPA program, will require extensive and close
inspection of the construction activities. Services include contract management and
administration, engineering, inspection and testing, verification surveying, and public
relations and informational meetings. The CEI will be executed in a similar manner
as the first phase of the project, implementing, of course, lessons learned from that
phase. Other sub-consultants include ECS Carolina, Design Works, AET Robotics,
and Atlantic South Consulting Services, a DBE firm. For information only.
