Building a Bridge

Cherry Road Bridge Project

This is a proposal to create a solidly engineered pony truss bridge at Cherry Road to be concluded by August 31, 2012. We have assembled a competent project team to help us accomplish this task. We have carefully selected project members based on area of expertise. Guided by the overall engineering and design blueprint and under the direction of a capable Project Manager, each team member will employ his or her unique skill set (and extended team members) to see this project through to completion in a safe, cost effective, and timely manner.

Project Leadership

The Owner, Mr. Tom Jones, has initiated this project and will ultimately assume ownership upon its completion. A long-time private developer, he has identified the need for the Cherry Road Bridge in conjunction to other larger scale projects he has underway in the area. He has agreed to provide funding. In addition, he will manage a private team of experts -- including legal and financial managers -- as a part of his own staff.

Marilyn Branson and her team will be assuming all design responsibilities -- from conception, to planning, to final presentation of the design solution to Mr. Jones. Her professional design team includes structural and transportation engineers. Because she will not be involved in the actual construction of the Cherry Road Bridge, it is critical that her plans and specifications are clear, unambiguous and thorough so that the Contractor (who will have little to no involvement in the design phase) will have clear and concise plans to complete this project correctly.

That responsibility lies with Mr. Scott Cooley, a top rated construction contractor with more than 21 years in industry. He is responsible for the planning and managing of the overall bridge construction after the final design has been approved. He will assemble and lead a superior team of subcontractors that includes carpenters, masons, electricians, surveyors, quality control inspectors, material suppliers, ironworkers and many others. His top-down leadership will be critical in order to hold subcontractors to agreed upon terms and timelines and also manage costs and payments. Mr. Cooley and his team will ultimately "deliver" the finished product and ensure that the Cherry Road Bridge is completed on time, within budget, and at the standard set forth in the specifications.
