As a DBE/MBE Subconsultant to a major transportation Joint-Venture Team, BvF performed comprehensive preliminary and final design services associated with preparing construction documents and standards for the modification of ETC signing approaching the toll plazas at the Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway. The existing signing approaching the ETC lanes includes a variety of messages at different facilities. The proposed modifications will provide a uniform message at all facilities with the ETC logo and the “NO CASH” message to reflect the video tolling option.

BvF was responsible for obtaining all available CADD files, including existing mapping/survey, right-of-way, pavement markings, sign panels and locations, and preparing Base Plans of existing conditions. BvF also conducted a field inventory of existing signing at the toll facilities that required modifications, including weight restriction signing, to verify sign locations, sizes, messages, structures/supports, and conditions, and modified Base Plans as required. BvF prepared the Final Review Signing Plans, including General Notes and Proposals, Plan Sheets, Guide Sign Messages, Details and Dimensions, Sign Support Details, and Signing Quantities, as well as Construction Cost Estimates for each facility.
