46. Unique Challenges • Aggressive Schedule – An 18 month construction schedule for $60M in wet weather facilities per consent decree. Multiple projects…Same site. • 2-year Ballasted Flocculation Performance…24/7 for 2 Years – Conducting the study while waiting for and being able to respond to storm event at all hours of the day or night, including holidays. • Economic Recession and Furloughed City Staff – Maintaining a positive working relationship with an embattled client staff where many lost pay and benefits during a severe economic recession. • 90% Local – Putting a solid, capable and local team together with the right skill set to meet a 90% local hours contract requirement. • Water Quality…Not Flood Relief – Careful maneuvering of TWI, a program to improve receiving water quality, through several local flooding and basement backup events that have occurred.
