G. STEVE LOWRY Page 4 an opinion of probable construction cost used in presentation to the potential purchaser of the project. Project Manager for design of SOOO feet of a replacement 30-inch raw water transmission line for the City of Arvada, Colorado. The existing line, a prestressed non-cylinder concrete pipe, was believed to be in need of replacement based on earlier corrosion studies. As part of the design for replacement, field studies were perfomled that showed the line was in better condition than anticipated. The City opted to avoid replacement, at a capital savings of approximately $IM. The preliminary design of the replacement line was completed, including surveying, development of design criteria and preparation of drawings and specifications. Project Manager for a study of water-supply altematives for the City of Fort Morgan, Colorado. Mr. Lowry assisted the City in planning a 40-mile extension of the Northem Colorado Water Conservancy District's water supplies via a major raw-water delivery pipeline to the City. Altematives for additional ground-water development, reverse osmosis treatment, and utilization of Lower South Platte water supplies were considered. The preferred altemative included a 130 AF raw water reservoir, a 7 mgd treatment plant, 40 miles of 36-inch diameter raw water line, 12 miles of 33-inch diameter treated water line and 4.5 mg of treated water storage. The project also induded review of state, local, and federal permitting requirements The water supply altemative studies were performed in an environment of considerable public interest in the development of water supplies and the economic impacts. He assisted the City in preparing applications for Colorado Water Conservation Board and Farmer's Home Administration funding of this $40M project. Project Manager for the General Mail Facility, Denver, Colorado. Mr. Lowry managed preparation of a site development package including paving, earthwork, and utilities for a $65 million U.S. Postal Service facility. Utilities included 5,000 feet of 12-inch waterline, 2,000 feet of S-inch sanitary sewer, 2,500 feet of up to 36-inch storm sewer and an 11/ AF retention pond. Design included 6-inch and S..inch thick concrete paving for 35 acres of parking roads and maneuvering areas. Mr. Lowry supervised earthwork program involving IS0,000 cubic yards of material. He managed a boundary survey of the site and development of site topographic mapping using aerial photogrammetry. He coordinated utility work with Denver agencies. At the time of construction, this was the largest commercial concrete parking area in the State. Dams and Water Supply Reservoirs, Irrigation Project Manager for design of the Towaoc Canal Reach 3 and Towaoc Laterals, as part of the USBR's Dolores Project near Cortez, Colorado. Mr. Lowry managed the design of 19 miles of canals and 31 miles of pipe laterals. The alignment traversed previously undisturbed land and required careful handling of topsoil and a comprehensive revegetation program in order to mitigate the impacts of heavy construction equipment. The project included design of seven siphons totalling 3 miles in length, four road crossings, three checks, 54 farm deliveries, three turnouts, a 4S-inch diameter pipe chute 16,600-feet long, an energy dissipater for 326 feet of head, two bridges and 45 cross drainage structures to handle up to I'M)NTGmll',W IIIATSor, <fD)
