Construction Management
SWE Solutions provided Construction Management services for fourteen (14) landscaping improvement projects totaling $14.5 million. The projects, distributed systemwide, were executed by three general contractors and necessitated meticulous coordination and oversight.
The scope of services provided under this project included onsite inspections, contract administration, design change oversight, project documentation, and final record preparation. The management of fourteen (14) contracts covering the entire Illinois Tollway system required extensive daily coordination and scheduling with the Illinois Tollway CCM, PMO, maintenance staff, multiple general contractors, and subconsultants to ensure all work is being monitored and performed in accordance with the construction contracts.
The project includes the planting and establishment of approximately 20,000 trees and shrubs. Upon establishment, the plantings are maintained and monitored for an additional two-year period. Typical maintenance and monitoring includes weed control, fertilizing, mowing, pruning, and replacing any plantings that do not establish to a healthy, live condition.
