Experience in Providing Consulting Engineering Services Seeking a qualified Civil Engineering Firm that can provide cost-effective solutions in its engineering approach, is knowledgeable about the state, communicates well, and is responsive to the DTMB’s needs is a very critical step to ensure the DTMB’s goals are reached. SDA has been providing civil engineering and surveying services throughout southeast Michigan for 60 years. Our current and wide-ranging client base and the experience of our staff in serving these communities provide us with an advantage that we believe few other firms can offer.

Our firm has never lost sight of its goal to establish itself as the "Benchmark of Excellence" in the professional field of Consulting Engineering and Surveying. We understand that the DTMB is sensitive to the costs associated with designing and constructing facilities. Therefore, SDA will work hand-in-hand with the DTMB and State Agency to determine practical and cost- effective project solutions. SDA provides the complete engineering package. We can take a project from the investigation phase through design, construction, and operation and maintenance. Throughout our successful design and project delivery, we incorporate many sustainable ecological solutions and context sensitive design. Department of Technology, Management & Budget General Professional Design Services PR14-085 Part 1 - Section 1 - Page 1 II-1 Understanding of Project and Tasks Our design philosophy is simple: Our solutions must solve the problem. We work diligently to understand the challenge. Our design must be constructible and practical. Once complete, our solution must be efficient from an operations and maintenance standpoint. The sequence of work tasks called out in the State of Michigan standard contract is a good guideline of the anticipated sequencing of the Work Plan, specific tasks, and deliverables needed for typical projects. We understand that work associated with this ISID contract could include any of the seven phases of the standard contract: Phase 100 – Study Phase; Phase 200 Program Analysis; Phase 300 - Schematic Design; Phase 400 – Design Development; Phase 500 - Final Design; Phase 600 – Construction Administration Office; and Phase 700 Construction Administration Field. We understand that each assignment that comes as a result of this contract will likely have different requirements, ranging from the study phase through design and construction.
