<br />I <br /> <br />Dr. D.B. Simons, who provided services on sub-consultant arrangements, was very <br /> <br /> <br />helpful in leading us to some key references and providing background information <br /> <br /> <br />on work that had been done by or for various agencies in the area of riprap stability. <br /> <br /> <br />He provided background on Agricultural Research Service and rock drops that he <br /> <br /> <br />had designed for the Denver Water Board. Besides the Urban Drainage and Flood <br /> <br /> <br />Control District, he was a key person when we consulted with on conceptual ideas <br /> <br />that were being investigated. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Gene Schaefer of Jorgensen, Hendrickson and Close, Inc., was helpful on providing <br />structural design and cost guidance. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />During the field evaluation phase many trips were made with members from our staff <br /> <br /> <br />and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District to give further background. The <br /> <br /> <br />District had a great deal of file information which they made available so that we <br /> <br /> <br />could develop a fairly comprehensive file on design, analysis, construction dl'awings <br /> <br /> <br />and specifications, and field inspection reports during construction. The staff members <br /> <br /> <br />of both that worked on these efforts were: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Urban Drainage and Flood Control District <br /> <br /> <br />Frank Rosso - Maintenance <br /> <br /> <br />Dave Bennetts - Maintenance <br /> <br />II <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />McLaughlin Water Engineers, Ltd. <br />John M. Pflaum, P.E., Associate <br />Michael R.

Each has high quality examples of successful <br /> <br /> <br />projects. Mike Galuzzi did has Master's work in the area of riprap stability, which <br /> <br /> <br />was especially helpful in the field work area. All three have worked on successful <br /> <br /> <br />grouted rock projects. Charles Hardt, the principal in our Tulsa office, provided <br /> <br /> <br />information on several projects and different approaches. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />
