Interstate 84 East project receives national ARTBA award A national roadbuilder's organization recently selected ITD, Connecting Idaho Partners, RBCI and the Langdon Group for an award in community relations for their work to keep the public informed of progress on the Interstate-84 East family of projects. It recognizes the “outstanding efforts of individuals, companies, public agencies and industry-related associations,” according to their submission form. RBCI did the public involvement work for all of the I-84 East construction. The Langdon Group was the outreach team for the airport kiosk effort related to Vista. “Consolidating public outreach activities under the management of a single stakeholder coordinator and issuing bundled contracts increased efficiency and facilitated cost savings, resulting in delivery of timely, consistent messages. Use of innovative tools and techniques ensured stakeholders’ awareness of construction activities prior to initiation, resulting in greater safety for the public and construction workers. Stakeholder feedback demonstrates the value and success of this dynamic, multifaceted, comprehensive community outreach program.” Published 5-6-2011 |
