Our staffs knowledge of transportation requirements allow LPA to cross borders and provide confidence to the Owner that we can meet criteria special to their projects. Our staff provides experiences in all facets of the industry including concrete and asphalt plant inspection, asphalt and concrete roadway inspection, bridge foundation inspection, material sampling and testing, traffic signal installations, grading, drainage, and paving. The LPA Team also has personnel available who are certified and trained in specialty areas such as pre- stressed plant inspection, pile driving analysis, asphalt QA /QC managers, construction survey verifications, Traffic and Erosion Control inspections and SiteManager trained. PAST PERFORMANCE ON SIMILAR PROJECTS For the past 25 years, LPA has demonstrated its qualifications in all facets of Project Management, inspection and testing, utility coordination, erosion and traffic control inspections on numerous DOT and County Projects. LPA is extremely proud of the work that has been accomplished with the CEI Division. In the past 10 years CEI has successfully performed on the SCDOT CRM Program, Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax Program, Berkeley County, Richland County and the current SCDOT On Call Contract. These programs ranged from dirt to pave roads to complex Design Build projects. These projects, combined with the experience gained from other DOT and County projects including but not limited to resurfacing, intersection improvements and Dirt to Pave projects make our Team one of the best - rounded and most experienced groups of professionals available to assist the City of Augusta on this program. Over the past two years LPA has successfully completed projects with various scopes for Charleston, Lexington, Richland, and Berkeley Counties. The LPA CEI staff provided oversight for 2005 Berkeley County Roadway Resurfacing, 1997 -2007 Richland County Resurfacing, Palmetto Commerce Parkway Phase 1 and 2, 2006/2007 Charleston County Resurfacing, Charleston County Local Paving projects(Dirt to Pave) and Two Notch Road SCDOT. As a part of these program activities, our staff worked directly with local officials to accommodate changes needed to maximize dollars.
