Civil Engineering - Planning & Design

Firm Experience

IL 97/125 & IL 97 from West of IL 4, Illinois DOT: QEI was the prime consultant for this project and prepared the roadway and bridge plans, completed the fields surveys, and prepared 63 right-of-way plats for land acquisi�on. QEI was responsible for the development of roadway plans, specifica�ons and es�mates of approximately 5 miles of IL 97 expressway west of Springfield, IL between IL 125 and IL 4. The proposed improvements included the construc�on of 5 miles of four-lane, divided, par�al accesscontrolled highway. This includes construc�on of a westbound to northbound right-turn, free-flow, single lane ramp at the IL 125 junc�on and a northern bypass around the town of Bradforton. The intersec�ons of IL 125/IL 97 and IL 97/Bradforton Road will both be signalized. Bradforton Road will be extended north across the proposed IL 97 to �e into the severed Moore Road. It included construc�on of the new access roads and entrances for exis�ng proper�es. The improvements also required replacement of the IL 97 over Prairie Creek Bridge and Sangamon Valley Trail Bridge over IL 97. As part of the development of the Combined Report, QEI assisted the District with the EA Re-evalua�on for this project. QEI performed the design for the re-alignment of Prairie Creek including the Hydraulic Report and the hydraulic modeling of the stream re-alignment. QEI also prepared the bridge TS&L plans and the final bridge design plans for the Prairie Creek structures and the Sangamon Valley Trail structure. IL Route 75 from Rock River to IL Route 2, Illinois DOT: This $10 million project consisted of complete reconstruc�on of approximately 0.6 miles of IL 75 and widening and resurfacing of approximately 0.8 miles of IL 75. The project scope called for the removal of the exis�ng pavement in the reconstruc�on area and replacement with full depth PCC pavement with concrete curb and gu�er. Beyond the reconstruc�on area, the project required full depth widening and resurfacing of the remaining roadway with new shoulders. Work also included provision of turn lanes at intersec�ons, an improved drainage system, new and reconstructed sidewalk, and new traffic signals at 2 intersec�ons. Project also included complex traffic control plans, construc�on of a mul�-use path, and the design of 42 ADA compliant curb ramps throughout the project. Project required removal of unsuitable material for a por�on of the reconstruc�on sec�on and the use of a variable depth aggregate subgrade within the reconstruc�on sec�on. Project also involved complex ADA curb ramp design, specifically at loca�ons where there were very �ght constraints due to buildings, some historic, abu�ng the sidewalk. Traffic control was complex due to the restricted nature of the exis�ng roadway and required the use of temporary pedestrian channelizing barricades, and an alternate/detour route. The project also required addi�onal changes a�er the le�ng due to various commitments related to nego�a�ons for land acquisi�on. High Speed Rail, Ridgely Avenue Crossing Design, Illinois DOT Bureau of Railroads: The project consisted of the reloca�on and reconstruc�on of the intersec�on of Ridgely Avenue and North 11th Street / Factory Street in the City of Springfield. The design included raising the profile of Ridgely Avenue and the realignment of the intersec�on to provide a safety improvement for the railroad grade crossing to accommodate the future High Speed Rail corridor. Improvements included pavement removal and replacements, sidewalk, curb and gu�er, entrances, grading; open and closed drainage systems, landscaping, maintenance of traffic, and erosion control. Elgin O’Hare West Bypass, U.S. Route 20 to IL Route 83, DuPage and Cook Coun�es, IL, Illinois Tollway: Provided engineering services and prepared contract plans and specifica�ons for proposed improvements including addi�onal lanes and resurfacing and construc�on of the Elgin O’Hare West Bypass between U.S. Route 20 and IL Route 83 in DuPage and Cook Coun�es. Work included providing appropriate soil erosion and sediment control design and plans as necessary in accordance with the Tollway’s Environmental Studies Manual and Erosion and Sediment Control Landscape Manual for the sec�ons of the bypass from east of Arlington Heights Road to Lively Boulevard and from Lively Boulevard to Supreme Drive. Work also included handling necessary permi�ng with regulatory agencies as required to secure the permits required for the construc�on of the project.

Tasks included reviews of exis�ng data and prior plans/studies; development of the purpose and need for improvements including capacity and crash analysis of the exis�ng geometric condi�ons; and assistance with development of various design alterna�ves including capacity and traffic opera�ons analysis. QEI performed a historical crash analysis to determine if there are roadway design or traffic control features contribu�ng to the crash risk that could be either eliminated or reduced as part of the long-term improvements. QEI aided in the development of 17 ini�al conceptual design alterna�ves, which were reduced to seven a�er a fatal-flaw analysis. QEI u�lized Synchro to analyze traffic opera�ons for the exis�ng condi�ons, the no-build scenario with future condi�ons, and the seven final design alterna�ves that included various at-grade and grade-separated op�ons. The results of the crash and capacity analyses, studies of other engineering and poten�al social, economic, and environmental impacts for the eight design op�ons, along with final recommenda�ons, were summarized in a feasibility study report.
