Summary
Kaskaskia Engineering Group, LLC (KEG) provided INDOT Utility Coordination Services and Data Collection as a sub to VS engineering for the Evansville, Indiana Signal Emergency Vehicle Preemption Projects. The purpose of the project is to provide Traffic Signal Preemption for the Evansville Fire Department Response Area at signalized intersections within the corporate limits of Evansville. The project team’s scope was to provide engineering services to complete the traffic signal equipment inventory, assessment, and collection, conduct field data collection, and prepare construction plans and contract documents for traffic signal upgrades for the installation of emergency vehicle preemption (EVP) equipment at 230 traffic signals owned by the City of Evansville (181 total) and Indiana Department of Transportation (49 total). KEG provided the INDOT Utility Coordination Services under the new Full Limited Utility Coordination Process, which included a GIS Map of the Signals and Initial Notice to the Utilities.
Project
KEG was responsible for collecting and organizing traffic signal as-builts for all 230 traffic signals in the project. This process included coordinating with INDOT records, the City of Evansville Traffic Systems Engineer, and various other consulting firms who have done signal work for the City. KEG then scanned in hard copies and organized all the files with easy-to-use naming conventions and keys. KEG staff also visited the INDOT signal on the project and collected/organized pictures of the handholes and controller cabinets.
