Regional Traffic Operations Center (RTOC)
Construction Management
Location: Rochester, NY
Owner: Monroe County
The $10.2 million 42,500 SF Regional Traffic Operations Center facility is shared by four entities - the New York State Police Department, the Monroe County Department of Transportation, the New York State Department of Transportation, and the Greater Rochester International Airport. The Airport portion of the facility is used to house runway and apron maintenance heavy equipment.
Lu Engineers provided construction management services on this project. A three-part construction effort was planned to better maintain schedule and cost. Phase 1 of the construction involved environmental mitigation of the site. Phase 2 included relocation of existing East Airport Road, site grading and drainage improvements. Phase 3 construction involved the construction of the Regional Traffic Operations Center facility.
Lu Engineers was able to establish a partnering relationship between the Owner, facility users and Contractors. This process began during the concept phase to ensure all stakeholders were contacted to identify their needs and whatever limitations (i.e. security or space restraints) their facilities imposed on the design process.
Lu Engineers reviewed designs for constructability, developed schedules for each design package, and combined individual schedules of each prime contractor into a master control schedule. Through meetings, up-front identification of problems, and a clear understanding of each member's role and responsibilities, the Lu Team was able to complete the project on schedule and within the allocated funds available.
