Meskel & Associates Engineering (MAE) is serving as the Prime Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) consultant for the Hogan Street Improvements project in downtown Jacksonville. The project corridor extends along Hogan Street from Water Street to Bay Street and includes portions of the Water Street right-of-way, as well as improvements within an adjacent private plaza area. This project is part of Segment 2 of the City’s Emerald Trail program, further expanding downtown multimodal connectivity.
MAE is providing full-service CEI oversight, including construction management, contract administration, and field inspection services. Our team is coordinating closely with the City of Jacksonville, contractor, utility providers, and adjacent property stakeholders to ensure successful delivery within an active urban environment.
The project includes comprehensive streetscape and infrastructure enhancements designed to improve pedestrian accessibility, safety, and aesthetics. Improvements consist of maintenance of traffic, site preparation, utility coordination, storm drainage upgrades, curb removal and replacement, milling and resurfacing, signing and pavement markings, and installation of landscaping, irrigation, and electrical systems. Additional features include pedestrian access trails, concrete sidewalks, and decorative hardscape elements such as concrete and composite pavers within both the public right-of-way and adjacent plaza areas.
MAE’s responsibilities include review of contractor submittals and shop drawings, processing pay applications and change orders, responding to RFIs, and monitoring project schedule and budget. Field staff perform daily inspection of critical construction activities including maintenance of traffic, earthwork, drainage installation, concrete operations, and streetscape improvements.
Through proactive coordination and detailed oversight, MAE is supporting the successful transformation of this key downtown corridor into a more accessible, functional, and visually enhanced urban space.
