2023 - Navajo Pipelines Yard Expansion

Project expanded construction yard to include neighboring parcel.

MRPE surveyed, designed, and prepared plans and processed permits for road frontage improvements including driveway and ADA ramps, site improvements, building demolition, grading, frontage improvements and IOD preparation.

The regulatory experience of this Project was like a tragic comedy. This site adjacent to this construction yard had a dilapidated and abandoned building that was occasionally occupied by the homeless. The construction company purchased the property, but when they asked to demolish the building, the city deemed it historic and required a several month process to approve. In the meantime, the city fined the owner for homeless continuing to break and enter the property. The city ultimately required right-of-way dedication, fencing, landscaping, ADA improvements and more just to remove this building and utilize this lot.

Place half mile of new 54" storm drain diverting stormwater to reduce flooding.

This project utilized MRPE background from the Basin 54 drainage study along with surveying and design skills to rapidly complete this pipe extending through roads and private properties.
