Grand Isle Consolidated Water District,
Grand Isle, VT
GME has
been working with the water users of Grand Isle since 1991. The
original Preliminary Engineering Report was conducted for the Grand
Isle Fire District No. 3, which has since merged with the G.I.F.D. #1
and G.I.F.D. #2 to form the GICWD. The current system, built in three
phases, now consists of a Lake Champlain Intake, a 356,000 gpd
Kinetico™ Filtration System (selected for use following a successful
Pilot Study by GME), over 100,000 feet of distribution lines, a
300,000 gallon storage tank, and water meters for each user. A
second, 132,900 gallon storage tank was constructed during the summer
of 2003.
A project
for the Bell Hill Tank Bypass and Emergency Connection to G.I.F.D. #4
was constructed in 2007. GME was contracted in 2009 to complete a
comprehensive subsurface data collection, integration and mapping
study. The information collected during the mapping study is currently
being used to create a WaterCAD® model of the system.
Town of Bristol, VT
Subsurface
Planning Study
Water, Wastewater
and Stormwater
System Improvements
GME has
been working with the Town of Bristol since 1992. In 2005, we assisted
with a waterline replacement project, replacing 2,817 linear feet of
existing 4-inch waterline with a new 8-inch ductile iron water main on
Pine Street, North Street and Plank Road. New service connections and
water shut-offs for all users were supplied. In 2009, we assisted the
Town with utilizing ARRA funding for the removal and replacement of
approximately 3,200 linear feet of existing storm drain and
appurtenances, a partial re-grading of North Street, implementation of
curb and gutter, and approximately 2,000 linear feet of water main
replacement. Construction Contract Documents, Bid Phase Services, and
Resident Inspection services have all been provided.

Richmond, VT
Subsurface Planning Study and Report
Preliminary Engineering, Final Design & Construction
Richmond
Village Infrastructure Rehabilitation
In 2005, GME successfully completed research and evaluation of all four
subsurface infrastructure systems to address necessary upgrade and/or
replacement, with a Final Report presented to the Selectboard in 2006.
In 2009, we assisted the Town with utilizing ARRA
funding to begin addressing improvements detailed in that Report:
a stormwater upgrade on Millet Street and Tilden Avenue, and a Sewer
Lining and Renovations project on Depot Street to improve the condition
of the existing sanitary system, will both be completed in 2010. |

North
Walpole Village District,
Town of
Walpole, NH
GME
provided Professional Engineering Services for a successful CDBG
Program Feasibility Study Grant application to complete an upgrade of
the water treatment system. Services included a Preliminary
Engineering Report, including a Pilot Study for removal of manganese,
and a Supplemental Preliminary Engineering Report for the proposed
water system upgrade, preparation of Opinions of Probable Cost, and
assistance with potential funding scenarios.
Construction commenced in summer 2003 on a total of five construction
contracts with Final Completion in spring 2007. The total
construction cost for the project was approximately $3.2 million.
Construction Phase Engineering was completed for less than 10% of the
construction cost for this project.
Town of
Fairfax, VT
Water and
Wastewater
System
Improvements
GME worked with the Town of Fairfax Selectboard through
Planning, Preliminary Engineering, Final Design and Construction
Phase, First Year Services and Operator Training for a $2.1 million
water system upgrade in 1999 and 2000. The water system upgrade
project was completed in a timely manner and several change orders
during construction reduced the construction cost from $1.84 million
to $1.77 million.
A 20-year evaluation of the wastewater treatment
facilities was performed in 2001, detailing necessary repairs with a
schedule for improvements. That inspection included manholes,
pump station sites and treatment facility and treatment building,
sludge removal, disinfection and flow meter analysis.
GME also assisted the Town with successful
Re-Certification of the Solid Waste (Wastewater Sludge) Management
Facility in 2005. The 20-year evaluation and Re-certification
projects were completed by GME within budget and in a timely manner.

GME
successfully assisted VYCC with the site design and engineering of a new
training center in Richmond housing up to 20 full-time employees and
hosting events for up to 300 staff and visitors. We also assisted with
obtaining a water and wastewater permit and Act 250 permit.
An
engineering amendment was written at VYCC’s request for additional
services for the new facility to include preparation of a monitoring
plan, groundwater monitoring in the spring of 2005, and the re-design of
the subsurface disposal system for the project.
Currently providing General Consulting Engineering Services for a
possible expansion of the East Monitor Barn in 2011.
