As technical civil subconsultant to the design-build team, the principal developed the geometric alignments carrying the new viaduct over the BNSF rail yard, setting the roadway profile of the bridge and Mt. Vernon Avenue while minimizing impacts to local cross streets. Soffit elevation, settlement and deck thickness criteria were coordinated directly with the bridge engineer.
The principal directed street improvement plans for Cabrera Avenue, Kingman Street, Mt. Vernon Avenue, 2nd and 3rd Streets and a new alley; supervised field surveys of existing conditions; and oversaw water, sewer, hydrology and storm drain plans, temporary construction easements and ADA compliance. Five traffic signals were modified with temporary standards for the detour route.

Survey and civil design for more than a mile of street improvements along the south side of 5th Street, portions of 3rd Street and a new connection between 5th Street and 3rd Street / Church Avenue, including three signal modifications, corridor lighting and drainage design.
A full-coverage topographic survey of the corridor fed a Civil 3D roadway model. The principal oversaw asphalt and jointed plain concrete pavement design, coordinated sewer, water, gas and electrical relocations with East Valley Water District, SoCalGas and SCE, and directed more than 20 temporary construction easements.

4,800 feet of new airport access roadway designed in three months, covering street improvements, traffic signal modification, street lighting, utility coordination, drainage and an ADA path of travel at a secure facility.
The principal directed field surveying, right-of-way surveys, utility investigations and as-built research, and ran a concrete-versus-asphalt pavement cost-benefit analysis. Power for site lighting, guard shacks and the rolling gate was drawn from an existing building, bypassing the typical lead time for a new utility service connection.

Pedestrian and street improvements around Haynes, Vista Grande and Oak Schools to improve ADA access and create a safe path of travel for students, funded through the state Active Transportation Program.
Scope included field surveying and PS&E for street widening, driveway reconstruction, drainage, utility identification and relocation, sidewalks and ADA curb ramps to Caltrans Standard Plans. The principal defined the construction footprint and permanent and temporary acquisitions, and coordinated design of a pedestrian hybrid beacon (HAWK) signal and street lighting.
