Senate Bill 786 Printer's Number 839

PENNSYLVANIA, May 27 - Westmoreland Engineering and Fayette Engineering, as well as

the Department of Transportation.

(4) In 1981, Mr. Sucevic cofounded Sucevic, Piccolomini

& Kuchar (SPK) Engineering, Inc., in Uniontown, where he

served as President, Lead Bridge Designer and mentor to many

aspiring civil engineers.

(5) Since its inception, SPK Engineering, Inc., has

designed hundreds of bridges across Pennsylvania. Under Mr.

Sucevic's leadership, the company has led the way in bridge

and roadway innovation, earning several awards. Notably, the

firm received the 1993 Prize Bridge Award from the American

Institute of Steel Construction, Inc., for the Belle Vernon

Bridge on Interstate 70, the 1997 Pennsylvania Quality

Initiative Award for Community Support and Customer Focus for

the Peach Street Corridor, U.S. Route 19, roadway

improvements in Erie County, the 1998 Pennsylvania Quality

Initiative Structure Award for the Cucumber Run Bridge on

State Route 2019 in Fayette County, the 2003 Congestion

Management Award from the Pennsylvania Partnership for

Highway Quality for the Pennsylvania Route 18 Widening

Project in Mercer County and the 2006 Civil Engineering

Achievement Award from the American Society of Civil

Engineers, Pittsburgh Section, for the Erie Bayfront

Connector Highway Project.

(6) However, one of Mr. Sucevic's more complex projects

was the 1996 replacement of the Pennsylvania Route 381 bridge

over Meadow Run in Ohiopyle. This project showcased his

expertise due to its challenging design, narrow highway

conditions, span length, underclearance height and the

necessity to maintain continuous traffic flow.
