P Streets & Drainage Aging roadways and storm drainage infrastructure is an issue that numerous communities are facing.

At Hawkins-Weir Engineers, we understand that funding these improvements is challenging and the available budgets need to be managed and allocated wisely. We strive for projects to be completed with minimum public disruption, safely, and within the project's schedule and budget. Our storm drainage designs focus on improving the conveyance of stormwater through various closed and open channel systems, with improved water quality design aspects. We provide innovative solutions to ' improve various forms of transportation from pedestrian walking trails and bikeways to major arterial streets. Hawkins-Weir Engineers offers innovated solutions to roadway and stormwater designs to keep communities and stormwater on the move.

These services include regulatory assistance, project funding assistance, expert witness work, surveying, structural design, rate studies, land development services and more. Equipment & Facilities They say a carpenter is only as good as his tools; that same ° sentiment applies to engineering design. That is why our firm is heavily invested in the cutting-edge software systems used by the leaders of our industry. Slide rules and spreadsheets served the engineering field well in the past, but the efficiency demanded in a modern world requires powerful computer simulators, 3D designs, and GIS models along with the expertise to operate them. These advanced tools save our clients' money by decreasing design time and ".df ' improving overall project efficiency. Hawkins-Weir Engineers has continually evolved with advances in technology to provide our clients state-of-the-art solutions, I but we haven't forgotten the value of common sense and , old-fashioned customer service.

For that reason, quality control is one of our top priorities. All of our designs are reviewed at the 30%and 60% project milestones by senior engineers who are members of the project's Technical Review Team. These engineers apply their years of experience to improve your project. At the 90% project milestone, members of the Technical Review Team, along with members of the Design Team, ' - perform a cross-checking review to eliminate any interdisciplinary conflicts. Inconsistencies between the designs of the various disciplines (mechanical, civil, structural, electrical, etc.) are the most common cause of change orders during a construction project. These types of errors can easily be identified and corrected prior to bid by the proper application of a multidisciplinary cross-checking review. This review simplifies construction and saves our clients' money. In addition to the required involvement of the Design Team and the Technical Review Team in the quality control process, Hawkins-Weir Engineers encourages our clients' active involvement in the design process. Project documents are provided to the client for review at the 30%, 60% and 1 90% milestones (or more frequently if desired). Meetings are held at these milestones to listen to our clients and answer any questions that they might have.

Project Description Client: Arkansas& Missouri Railroad The Arkansas & Missouri Railroad (AMRR) recently partnered with the City of Van Buren, Arkansas, to replace a failing concrete retaining wall that was jeopardizing the City's Construction Costs: primary drainage infrastructure in the downtown area as well $388,000 as an AMRR trestle that was constructed in 1913. Hawkins- Weir Engineers (HW) facilitated negotiations between the Contractor; City and the AMRR resulting in a 50/50 partnership for Crawford Construction Company project construction costs. The AMRR's portion of these costs was less than $200,000, and resulted in savings to the City and the AMRR of approximately $350,000 each. In addition to its financial success, the project secured the future operation of the City's drainage improvements and the AMRR's trestle, while simultaneously improving the appearance of this area of downtown Van Buren. HW is proud of the role that we played in this project from facilitating negotiations to engineering design and construction management services. 110 South 7th Street ■ Van Buren,AR 72956 ■ 479,474.1227 j 211 Natural Resources Dr. ■ Little Rock,AR 72205 ■ 501.374.4846 438 East Millsap Rd.■Suite 200 ■ Fayetteville,AR 72703 ■ 479.455.2206 1 403 Garrison Ave.■ Suite 101 ■ Fort Smith,AR 72901 ■ 479.242.4685 IF ),WHAWKI NS 4WE I R E N G I N E E R S, I N C.

AM f Project Description Client: City of Lavaca,Arkansas The City of Lavaca, Arkansas, had two objectives when moving forward with plans to improve one of the City's main residential streets, North Division Street. The first goal of the Construction Costs: project was to improve the roadway from an estate type street $506,000 with open ditches to a curb and gutter street with enclosed drainage. The City's second goal was to provide a safe Contractor: walking corridor from Arkansas Highway 96 to Oak Bower Cove Creek Construction, Inc. Community Park located at the northern end of North Division Street. The project accomplished both of the City's objectives, and the final construction cost was approximately 8% less than the original contract price.
