Clayton Curb and Sidewalk Improvement Project

Orth-Rodgers & Associates, Inc. (ORA), was contracted by the Delaware Department of Transportation for a 3-year Open End agreement to provide design services for Transportation Enhancement Projects throughout the state of Delaware. The Transportation Enhancement (TE) Program allows for Towns, Legislators, Counties and Civic Groups throughout the state to complete transportation related projects that they otherwise would not be able to fund.  DelDOT relied on ORA to develop a Scope of Work, cost estimates, concept plans, construction plans and construction administration.  Concept plans were developed with input from the community leaders and DelDOT. 

This project is an upgrade of sidewalk and curb throughout the Town of Clayton.  ORA prepared Semi- Final and Final construction plans and right of way plans for the project.  Issues that were addressed included tree locations/removals, sidewalk and curb continuity and consistency, curb conditions and reveal height and meeting ADA requirements.  We also coordinated closely with the Town of Clayton and several property owners which enabled us to meet the schedule, and the desired goals of the community.  PS&E was submitted in November 2004 and constructed was completed in September of 2005. 

This project won the DelDOT 2005 Outstanding Projects – Multi-modal Award!
