As a subconsultant, SI Engineering, P.C. (SIE) provided REI services for the reconstruction of Beekman Street. The project involved the rehabilitation of sewer mains; reconstruction of roadway, curbs, and sidewalks, including street lighting; traffic signal installation; and private utilities work. SIE was responsible for reviewing contract plans and specifications for the project, reviewing DDC standard sewer specifications, water main and highway specifications, and DEP and DOT standard drawings as needed to familiarize staff with the standards to be utilized. SIE performed construction inspection of the installation of sanitary and storm sewers, water main, and roadway restoration work. The latter included placement of new curb, sidewalk, concrete base, and asphalt, among other work, in conformance with approved plans and specifications. Various accounting, internal controls, and auditing procedure applications were followed in order to maintain cost controls.
The project followed the NYC Comptroller’s Directives as per project needs. Work involved challenging issues related to construction on heavily travelled streets in the City of New York. SIE completed the project to the satisfaction of the Engineer-in-Charge (EIC) and Community Boards.
