Ultimately, the bridge away or damaged several bridges and rendered was selected based on life cycle cost, minimizetion of environmental impacts, and agency input. large sections of roadway impassable, including a primary road on the Fond du Lac Reservation that The ambitious project schedule involved repairing damage to the existing roodway and environment and was essential for access to homes and emergency constructing a new bridge before the onset of winter weather. There were also cultural and natural resource issues services. to consider, such as maintaining fish passage in the existing trout stream. With these considerations, CM/GC was chosen as the project delivery method to help mitigate schedule risks and improve constructability. The CM/GC With Fond du Lac Reservation residents needing process allowed valuable input from the contractor on availability of materials, especialy considering the significant this route restored as soon as possible, the Federal demand due to repairs underway following the foods, and on locally viable construction methods.
