Development of a condition assessment and asset prioritization and implementation plan for water and wastewater facilities for the City of Boynton Beach Utilities Department.

Development of an asset condition baseline assessment for the City of Stockton and OMI/Thames Water.

Development of a Low Impact Development (LID) Life Cycle Cost Benefit model that determines the costs and benefits of stormwater measures to both the customer and for the SFPUC.

Development of a Stormwater Management Plan and Stormwater Control Plan for an infiltration trench and the first Blue Roof in San Francisco for the San Francisco Department of Public Works (SFDPW), CA.

Construction management, field inspection, and office support for the Pinole/Hercules wastewater pollution plant upgrade.

Provided a literature review to analyze graywater treatment alternatives for the SFPUC.

Identified stormwater and recycled water cost and benefits to the customer and SFPUC with implementation of LID techniques.

Provided a comprehensive water and sewer financial analysis for the SFPUC to set water and wastewater rates, including both the basis for separation of sanitary and stormwater charges and public outreach support as rates were set to increase.

Structural design of four major components and continued constructability support at the SFPUC Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant new Headworks Facility.

Development of stormwater best management practice O&M life cycle costs for street installation as part of the San Francisco Better Streets Plan.

Reviewed NPDES stormwater documents for transfer from private to SFPUC authority and recommended future monitoring program improvements for the SFPUC’s Mission Bay Development.

Identified cost effective alternatives for the replacement aeration blowers, diffusers, and other equipment, and implemented automated controls, and related support systems for the 30 mgd South Central Regional Treatment Plant, FL.

The Town of Davie, FL desired a phased Asset Prioritization Plan for their major water and wastewater treatment facilities as part of the development of a long-term Master Plan. MME developed the field condition assessments, criticality analyses, estimated capital and O&M costs, and dynamic Prioritization Plans for repair and replacement projects to maintain system reliability over a 20-yr period. Facilities evaluated included two water treatment plants, two tertiary wastewater treatment plants, and five master wastewater pump stations for the Town of Davie, FL.

MME principal Steve McDonald led the development of a wastewater rate study that addressed innovative methods and approaches for allocating costs to the various user groups, and that assessed alternative rate structures for the Orange County Sanitation District, CA. This included monthly stakeholder workshops with a Rate Advisory Committee (RAC), and senior OCSD staff and Board members. The RAC members were composed of stakeholders representing the residential, commercial, and industrial user groups.
