Pipe options were pretensioned concrete cylinder pipe, steel, ductile iron and <br />PVC. Prepared over 400 sheets of drawings, full technical paragraphs, and supporting <br />documentation. Responsible for all technical, administrative and management tasks, <br />including coordination of six subconsultants and three technical advisors. The construction <br />cost of the project was $50 million. <br /> <br />Project Manager for design and construction services for outlet modifications to Joe Wright <br />Reservoir for the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. The reservoir is located 65 miles west of <br />Fort Collins at an elevation of 10,000 feet above sea level. The reservoir contains <br />approximately 1,000,000 cubic yards of earth fill with a maximum height of 120 feet. The <br />existing outlet works was modified to allow for low-flow winter season releases from the <br />reservoir to meet minimum instream flow requirements. Design considerations included a <br />system to control releases of 1-3 cfs at all reservoir levels, flow measurement, protection <br />from freezing temperatures and ice buildup, operation of new control valve(s) from the <br />control house, and operation of the system without daily monitoring. An 80-wattt solar <br />system was installed to provide electrical power in this remote location. <br /> <br />Project Manager for preliminary and final design of Eastlake Reservoir #3 in Thornton, <br />Colorado for the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and City of Thornton. Mr. <br />Lowry managed engineering services for preliminary and final design for drainage and flood <br />control improvements along Brantner Gulch. Reservoir #3 is a former agricultural facility <br />located in a park setting with extensive wetlands. The project upgraded the facility to current <br />standards, including a new spillway, new outlet and raising of the embankment. The level of <br />the permanent pool was selected to satisfy the needs of the park setting, while allowing the <br />City of Thornton to meet both the safety requirements of the State Engineer's Office and the <br />detention needs of the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District. A storm drainage system <br />consisting of RCP up to 54-inches in diameter and an open channel with 700 cfs capacity was <br />constructed below the outlet to convey discharges. Coordinated subconsultants in the areas of <br />landscape architecture, geotechnical engineering, and surveying. Two public involvement <br />meetings were organized and directed by Mr. Lowry. <br /> <br />Project Engineer for the design of repairs to the Cache la Poudre Diversion Dike in Fort <br />Collins, Colorado. This fusible plug near the Drake Water Reclamation Plant had failed and <br />required replacement. The design evaluated use of various materials. A combination of <br />impervious material and rip rap was used to allow limited overtopping before erosion would <br />take place. Recent criteria developed by the US Bureau of Reclamation were used in the <br />design. <br /> <br />Technical Reviewer for the final design of a major drainage and irrigation canal in the <br />Everglades. This canal is part of the restoration of the Everglades. The design optimized the <br />cut and fill volumes while accounting for varying thickness of rock along the route. Review <br />of the hydraulics, earthwork calculations, and grading was performed. <br /> <br />MI)NTGOMEI<Y 1""\T50," (fJ)> <br />
