Background:

J. Scott has over ** years of experience with transportation civil engineering and utilities. He has 12 years of experience in airport program management, planning, design and construction management at DTW, MIL, STL, MDW, ORD, DEN and GYY airports. 2018-20 fiber optic network design included last mile AT&T, fiber to the home for 4000 homes in Pella, Iowa and smart grid power substation control fiber network across Iowa. He has subsurface underground utility experience with local, county and state roadways, highways, light rail extensions, airports, railroads, fiberoptic networks and power substations. Expect accuracy in ground control, and ability to weigh record documents, occupation evidence and boundary surveys with utility locations.

Mr. Phipps applies ASCE 38 to surface utility locates, fits occupations for right of way then applies ASCE 38 quality levels to plot best judged position from records using the right of way solution. Preliminary Engineering requires level C or better locates for preliminary cost estimate. Design requires specific scoping of level B and A for relocations. A grant decision tied to scope of utility relocations requires ties to project monuments, with ground truth resulting in utility relocation cost estimate. The land acquisition for Metro St. Louis light rail was tied to FTA approved utility relocations. Scott report status of 335 plats and legal descriptions to acquisition for 22 miles of track, 7 stations and maintenance yard. Mr. Phipps completed five ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys with boundary analysis in Jackson County Missouri in 2017 and continues a practice of transportation engineering led by surveying.
