Location: Falls Township, PA

Client: Falls Township

Services: Provided project management, site-civil, and landscape architectural services for the construction of approximately 2.5 miles of multi-use trails connecting the surrounding communities to the Falls Township Community Park. The project involved the design of a pedestrian bridge, seat-walls at vista points, and landscaping. In addition, the project required the performance of flood studies, pavement designs, traffic signal modification plans, shop drawing reviews, construction observations, construction meetings, processing of contractor’s request for payment and preparation of punch lists. It also required continuous coordination between various governmental agencies such as FHA, FEMA, DEP, PHMC, DVRPC, PennDot, as well as the local residents.

Eustace Engineering was also retained to review the contractors’ work for compliance with the construction documents prepared by others and evaluated the contractors' request for the release of the maintenance bonds on a 228-acre Community Park and its associated athletic fields, basketball courts, roller hockey rink, play ground, pavilions, sledding hill, boat ramp, walking trails, and landscaping. This required coordinating with the Municipality, the design consultant, the contractor and their subcontractors, and attendance to on-site meetings.
