SERVICES & EXPERIENCE
CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION AND
INSPECTION SERVICES
DLZ provides construction observation and
management on a variety of transportation,
public works, environmental, and facilities
projects. Our engineers and field personnel are
experienced in providing on-site observation
and project oversight to verify
compliance of materials and
workmanship with contract
specifications. The staff can readily
“troubleshoot” problems in the field,
minimizing construction delays and overruns.
DLZ’s testing services provide fast, accurate
assessments during field inspections.
Experienced staff members provide cost
estimates and evaluation of bids, resident
engineering services, O&M manuals, and
project startup services.
Our services include:
 Assisting owners in evaluating
Contractors
 In-house testing of materials and review of
results
 Design and constructability reviews
 Resident inspection and consultation
 Approve Contractor payment requests
 Progress scheduling using P3/P6 and Ms
projects
 Shop drawing review
 Final inspection & final report submittal
 Preparation of O & M documents
 Preparation of “as-built” drawings
LPA PROJECT EXPERIENCE
DLZ has worked on numerous ODOT LPA
Construction Administration Projects. We
understand our responsibility to provide
construction administration services that meet
the needs of the City of Kent and The Ohio
Department of Transportation. DLZ inspectors
have extensive experience working with ODOT
Specifications and the Manual of Procedures.
Our inspectors are committed to enforcing the
specifications to assure the project is
completed correctly and within the Contract
requirements. Any deficiencies in the
Contractor’s work are brought to the attention
of the CPM and the client for corrective action.
Documentation is critical to the success of an
LPA project. DLZ field inspectors use daily
reports based on the ODOT standard daily
report. Other ODOT reports are also composed
depending on the type of LPA project, such as
critical underground installation
documentation, pavement placement,
earthwork quantity calculations, underdrain
inspections, non-conforming documentation,
and work zone review.
All quantities are measured and verified for
payment. The measurements are recorded and
organized according to bid item in a project
box, which is available at any time for the City
Construction Manager to review. The project
box acts as the central location for all the
project documents. Because the documents
are organized according to the bid item, it
makes for a smooth auditing process for the
ODOT LPA construction monitor.
Given that the POR-East Summit Street Project
will be funded by the AMATS, ODOT and Kent
State University, DLZ can track which bid items
have multiple funding sources. A funding
source cost breakdown can be provided to the
City with each Contractor invoice.

8. POR-EAST SUMMIT STREET PID NO. 845468
CUY-006-07.60 CLIFTON BLVD RESURFACING—LPA, City of Lakewood, Ohio
The Clifton Boulevard Resurfacing Project
consisted of resurfacing four lanes of Clifton
Boulevard from State Route 237 to the City's
west corporation line (approximately 0.6
miles). The project also included a
completely new drainage system, curb
replacement, median removal, full and partial depth repairs, as well
as maintenance of traffic. This project was an ODOT LPA and
required quality documentation to satisfy the LPA requirements.
Completed in 2014, the project was delivered to the City of
Lakewood on time and under budget.
DLZ was selected to provide Construction Administration, Inspection Services, and Quality Assurance
Testing for this project. DLZ's inspection responsibilities included composing daily reports, tracking
quantities installed, conducting prevailing wage interviews and obtaining all necessary paperwork
associated with ODOT LPA Projects. DLZ's management responsibilities included reviewing

11. POR-EAST SUMMIT STREET PID NO. 8454611
PROJECT APPROACH
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING — The POR-East Summit Street Project
consists of the reconstruction of 1.22 miles of East Summit Street from
Willow Street to Whitehall Boulevard. The project includes new curb,
sidewalk, bike lanes, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water mains, traffic
signals, lighting, signing and pavement markings, retaining walls and
landscaping. The anticipated schedule is August 2015 to December 2017.
With the East Summit Street corridor being one of the most highly
congested roads in the area with a current level of service of “E”, this
project is very important with respect to traffic flow and limiting pedestrian and vehicular conflicts.
DLZ visited the site on April 16, 2015.
TECHNICAL APPROACH — DLZ’s project team will consist of a qualified construction project manager,
Mr. Daniel Uhlir, PE, three full-time construction inspectors, a documentation clerk, an on-call survey
crew, QA/QC oversight, and SWPPP inspection as needed.
Quality assurance tests will be performed by DLZ’s cross-trained certified ODOT inspectors. This
saves the City money by not having to provide additional personnel. Compaction tests will be
performed during subbase preparation along with moisture and density tests. Asphalt placement will
be monitored to determine temperature, asphalt yield, and thickness. Concrete testing will be
performed by ACI Level I technicians.
DLZ will attend the pre-construction conference and provide meeting minutes. DLZ will support the
City and discuss prevailing wage and LPA documentation requirements with the Contractor to ensure
they are understood. Mr. Jacob Goroncy, EI, the project documentation clerk, will distribute the
Project Bill of Materials (PBOM) drawn from the construction documents. He will track material
compliance and make the Contractor aware which materials need to be approved and accepted prior
to acceptance for payment. DLZ will collect TE-24’s from the Contractor when materials are delivered
to the project site and verfiy materials from the Qualified Products List (QPL).
The documentation clerk will also schedule the regular progress meetings. DLZ will prepare the
meeting agenda as well as the meeting minutes, which will be distributed to all parties. DLZ’s team
will assist the City in monitoring the Contractor's construction schedule (which is posted in the field
office) and address any deviations with the City. If a change order or extra work becomes necessary,
DLZ‘s team will work with the City to evaluate the items for justification of labor, equipment, and
material charges and provide a written recommendation to the City.
The documentation clerk will review all Contractor pay requests before presenting them to the City.
Quantities will be verified that they match the inspection team’s records and that all materials have
been approved with proper documentation.

12. POR-EAST SUMMIT STREET PID NO. 8454612
PROJECT APPROACH
QUALIFICATIONS — DLZ is well positioned to provide the City of Kent with qualified construction
management and inspection services based on the following:
 DLZ has provided LPA construction services on over 35 projects for various local agencies in Ohio.
We understand ODOT’s LPA audit requirements and work regularly with the ODOT specifications.
 DLZ has successfully provided construction administration and inspection services for roadway
projects for several Ohio clients including the City of Tallmadge, the City of Stow, the City of
Lakewood, the City of Shaker Heights, the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission and
ODOT.
 DLZ construction inspectors use ODOT standard forms in conjunction with the Manual of
Procedures (MOP) to record the quantity measurements for payment.
RELATIVE ODOT KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE — As an example of LPA ODOT knowledge, DLZ
provided CA/CI services on the Northeast Avenue Roundabout Project (SUM-261-16.83) for the City
of Tallmadge. This ODOT LPA Project consisted of the construction of a modern roundabout to
replace a six-legged intersection on Northeast Avenue. This project was similar to the East Summit
Street Project having extensive excavation and embankment, underdrains, curbs, subbase
preparation and new pavement. Traffic control was also very demanding. All project documents
were reviewed by the ODOT LPA Construction Monitor and were successfully completed.
INNOVATIVE APPROACH — DLZ understands the concerns of the traveling public and Kent State
University. The maintenance of traffic plan (MOT) and detour routes will be a critical component of
this project. DLZ suggests a summit meeting between the Contractor, the City, the University and DLZ
to review the MOT to have a complete understanding of the work. Open discussion is encouraged to
determine if work can be adjusted or accelerated to minimize traffic and pedestrian disruptions.
SAFETY — DLZ is a leader in field safety. All inspectors are required to be OSHA 10-Hour certified.
Inspectors are provided with hard hats, safety vests safety glasses, and trucks with safety lighting. At
a minimum, the inspection staff attend monthly tool-box talks or weekly contractor safety meetings.
The DLZ project manager is OSHA 30-Hour certified.
INCREASED QUALITY, TIME SAVINGS, AND COST REDUCTIONS — DLZ utilizes the web-based e-
Builder project management information system to track daily project documentation. DLZ has
successfully implemented this system on several construction management projects. e-Builder
provides a central database and allows the City real-time access the latest project information,
keeping the staff up to date. The software eliminates delays in receiving paper copies of reports and
makes the inspector more efficient in his reporting activities. It is also a great organization tool with
respect to potential audits by ODOT.
