Firm Qualifications - Continued <br />Construction Related Services <br />Boyle Engineering manages more than $130 million of construction in a <br />normal year. This magnitude of construction related services allows the firm <br />to develop comprehensive systems to support the process but is not so much <br />that the consultant's internal procedures become difficult to adapt to an <br />owner's requirements. More than 70 percent of our current construction <br />management is for governmental owners. Of that, more than 45 percent is on <br />water related projects. <br />Database and GIS Applications <br />Conducting a detailed hydrologic investigation often requires accessing and <br />utilizing a large volume of data including streamflows, reservoir contents and <br />releases, diversions, ditch characteristics, water rights, rainfall, snowfall, <br />temperature, evaporation, ground water pumping, and other pertinent data. <br />Efficient management of this data is a prerequisite to an efficient, successful <br />investigation. <br />Boyle is familiar with and regularly uses most of the major sources of water <br />data for Colorado and the U.S. Data maintained in computerized data bases <br />such as HYDROBASE, GWSI, WATSTORE, STORET, and OASIS are <br />usually obtained and processed directly by Boyle's computerized data <br />retrieval and management procedures. In addition, Boyle has in -house the <br />U.S. West HYDRODATA and CLIMATE DATA databases which contain <br />all of the recorded USGS streamflow, lake level, water quality, and NOAA <br />meteorological daily values for the 17 western states. Most of the agencies <br />maintaining the databases described above have their own unique data <br />management systems. Boyle's engineers and computer scientists are familiar <br />with the storage, retrieval, and programming aspects of these agency systems <br />as well as many general purpose data management systems, including <br />ACCESS, dBase IV, ARCINFO, MOSS, PC File, and DMS. <br />Field Investigations and Geotechnical Studies <br />Design and analysis services on dams typically involve field investigations to <br />define material properties, the geologic extent of rock units and soil mass, <br />and the characterization of special geologic features and discontinuities. <br />Boyle has been responsible for field investigations on new and existing <br />embankment, concrete, and RCC dams. Typically, these field investigations <br />included topographic survey, cross - section surveys, geologic reconnaissance, <br />drilling and field testing, borrow investigations, and laboratory testing. <br />- 8 - f30VLE <br />
