PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Rolling A WWTP Sludge Pond Modifications, Dayton, Nevada. I was the

primary designer for this project, which included raising the existing

sludge pond at the Rolling A wastewater treatment plant six (6) feet and

modifying aeration equipment. This project required state and local

permitting, which included a building permit and dam permit. I also

prepared a Dam Breach Analysis and Project Manual for the project.

Autumn Village Apartments, Reno, Nevada. I provided civil design and plan

preparation to redevelop the existing site from a single family residence

with a paved parking lot to apartments for low income housing. The

improvements include storm drain, sanitary sewer, water utility

realignments, grading, and parking lot improvements. This project was

initially considering LEED accreditation but due to the additional costs

the owners decided against it. I was still able to incorporate designs

elements that promote green building. Design elements were covered

parking, concrete paving, and landscape storm water drainage. This project

is currently under construction.

Victorian Square Plaza Phase 2A, Sparks, Nevada. I was part of the team

that prepared plans and specifications for public infrastructure

improvements to this pedestrian plaza. The project utility work included

sanitary sewer relocation and upgrades, storm drain system upgrades, water

and gas services. The streetscape included colored and textured concrete,

and brick paving. This project was primarily two new one way streets with

associated utility relocations.

Truckee Meadows Wastewater Treatment Facility (TMWRF) Secondary Access

Feasibility Study, Sparks. Nevada. The existing TMWRF site is surrounded

by a floodplain. I investigated nine (9) different alternatives to provide

permanent, flood proof access to the facility. One alternative was to use

DUKW vehicles to provide access to and from the facility during a flood

event prior to construction of permanent access.

Red Rock Road, Reno, Nevada. I prepared the plans, permits, paperwork for

the annexation into the City of Reno, and construction documents for the 3

commercial buildings and a gas station located on a three (3) parcels

totaling 4.25 acres in Reno, Nevada. This project included on site

stormwater treatment and detention with unique design parameters. This

project required detention of the 5 yr, 10 yr, and 100 yr - 24 hour

duration storms and the 5 yr and 100 yr - 10 day duration storms. This

project also required annexation into the City of Reno and a Special Use

Permit. The project also was reviewed and approved by FHWA and NDOT.

Since this project was an annexation into the City of Reno it required

major infrastructure improvements which included widening, grading, and

replacing approximately 920 LF of Silver Lake Road; an addition of 2200 LF

of water main; an addition of 2620 LF of sewer main; and left turn

improvements within NDOT and FHWA Right-of-way.

Wildcreek Townhomes, Sparks, Nevada. I was part of the team that provided

the design for the residential townhome project which included 142 townhome

dwelling units on an 8 acre parcel in Sparks. Design tasks included water,

sanitary sewer and storm drain design; complex earthwork included over

excavation of expansive clays; rockery retaining walls; under grounding of

existing overhead utilities and street improvements within NDOT right of

way.

Victorian Square Plaza Phase 1, Sparks, Nevada. I was part of the team

that prepared plans and specifications for public infrastructure

improvements to this pedestrian plaza. The project utility work included

sanitary sewer relocation and upgrades, storm drain system upgrades, water

and gas services. The streetscape included colored and textured concrete,

and brick paving.

1538 C Street, Sparks, Nevada. I was part of the team that provided the

civil design, project management and plan preparation for the demolition

and removal of an existing mortuary building and constructing a 15 unit

live/work development on a 0.34 acre parcel with associated parking lot and

landscaping. The improvements include storm drain, sanitary sewer, water

utility services, and parking lot improvements.

Sierra Vista Elementary, Reno, Nevada. I designed an onsite stormwater

infrastructure that utilized a low cost underground detention system to

mitigate the problem of Sierra Vista Elementary's runoff flooding the

adjacent downstream apartment complex. The flooding caused problems for

the tenants in the parking lot and impeded the emergency access lane. The

runoff is metered through an orifice plate to flow from the underground

detention to the Orr Ditch at less than historic conditions. I served as

the project lead to design the project to satisfy the needs of Washoe

County School District, Wolf Run Properties, Orr Ditch Company, and the

City of Reno.

Diedrichsen Elementary, Sparks Nevada. I designed a valley gutter along

the existing curb and a greater slope within the parking lot at the

existing main parking lot at Diedrichsen Elementary School which had

problems with runoff to the existing storm drain collection system. There

was saturation of the ground soil due to storm runoff and irrigation of the

landscape areas. To alleviate the saturation of the soil due to

irrigation, perforated pipe was installed along the perimeter of the

landscape areas and were tied into the existing catch basin. Valley

gutters were also provided in the playground and drainage swales along the

building to channelize flows away from the building and into the existing

storm drain infrastructure.

Walton's Funeral Home, Gardnerville, Nevada. I provided civil design,

project management and plan preparation for the 4,479 SF Walton's Funeral

Home in Gardnerville, Nevada. The improvements included storm drain,

sanitary sewer, water services, and street improvements to State Route 756

(Centerville Lane). The project is located in an AO flood zone with shallow

flooding of 1 foot. I prepared a Floodplain Analysis of this project and

submitting a CLOMAR-F to FEMA.

Dartmouth Drive Traffic Calming, Reno, Nevada. I provided civil design,

plan preparation, and construction administration for repaving Dartmouth

Drive and installing traffic calming features. The project involved

approximately 58,000 SF of asphalt replacement and 19 traffic calming

features including roundabouts, speed bumps, landscape islands, and cobble

stone street sections. The narrow street section presented a unique

challenge to emergency access vehicles; however, through collaboration with

city staff I quickly arrived at an acceptable solution. The acceptable

solution was to coordinate the improvements with the fire department

station that would provide emergency services to the residences adjacent to

Dartmouth Drive so they were aware of the street improvements.

1000 Marietta Way, Sparks, Nevada. I provided the civil design to utilize

an undeveloped area on the parcel for storage. This undeveloped area was

unpaved and shared a property line with the Railroad. Stormwater from this

site predominately used for automobile services was also draining into an

existing storm drain without pretreatment of sediment and petrochemicals.

The site was designed to provide for a concrete masonry unit wall

maximizing the projects space, minimizing cost, while not encroaching on

the Railroad Right-of-way. The site was graded so stormwater from

approximately 75% of the 2.82 acre site would drain through a sand/ oil

interceptor to be treated before discharging into the existing storm drain

infrastructure.

Monroe Residence, Washoe County, Nevada. I provided civil design, plan

preparation, and construction document preparation for this custom home

located in Washoe County, Nevada. This project required installing 183 LF

of 2 - 36" reinforced concrete pipes to perpetuate stormwater under the

driveway of this home. These pipes also had to cross the Big Ditch

Irrigation ditch. Fill was brought in to have these pipes cross over the

top of a newly installed 42" reinforced concrete pipe carrying the

irrigation waters within the Big Ditch.

Hart Residence, Washoe County, Nevada. I provided civil design, plan

preparation, and construction document preparation for this custom home

located in Washoe County, Nevada. This project required no development

within the White's Creek sensitive stream buffer zone and a variety of

geometrical design variations regarding walls, driveways, and vegetated

drainage swales. The site was also designed to provide a balance in the

earthwork to minimize the amount of imported structural fill.

City of Sparks Maintenance Yard, Sparks, Nevada. I provided civil design,

plan preparation, and construction document preparation for the pavement

replacement and storm drain improvements for the City of Sparks Maintenance

Yard. I provided a jointing plan for the 40 ft wide - 9" PCC on 3" ABC

pavement section used around the building to replace existing deteriorated

asphalt pavement. I also designed and graded the site to provide upgrades

to the existing storm drain collection system.
