In June 2008, R.O. Anderson became the District Engineer for Douglas County Sewer Improvement District No. 1 (DCSID). Duties include the day-to-day inspection of improvements, preparing and monitoring field directives, change orders and progress payments, leading regular construction meetings with the District and the contractors, liaison with applicable permitting agencies, ensuring compliance with the contract documents and specifications and review and approval of proposed improvements submitted to the District. ROA has already successfully redesigned and permitted two key aspects of the redundant force main project for which actual field conditions rendered the original design impossible to construct. Construction costs are estimated to exceed $6 million. Current projects ROA is involved in with at DCSID include: energy recovery from the effluent force main, equalization basins, STPUD intertie, main lift station retrofit, reservoir lining, and effluent force main evaluation.
