• <br />r ~•°~, <br />f~T <br />ROBERT ~. HUZJAK, P.E. <br />PRESIDENT <br />BACKGROUND <br />Mr. Huzjak specializes in dam, reservoir, and water supply engineering, geotechnical <br />engineering, and project management. With more than 24 years of experience, he has <br />participated in more than 600 civil, geotechnical, and water resources projects in a variety <br />of geologic environments in the west and mid~uvestem United States. He has successfully <br />led small to large multi-disciplined water reservoirs and heavy civil planning, permitting, <br />design, and construction projects with professional services budgets as large as $7 million. <br />Projects include embankment, concrete, and tailings dams; gravel pits; riverfront facilities; <br />landfills; deep excavations; tied-back walls; geotextile and geogrid reinforced walls and <br />steep slopes; residential, commercial, and industrial developments; landslide evaluation and <br />stabilization; pavements, roads, and bridges; bored and driven-pile foundations; construction <br />and permanent dewatering; and waste impoundments. Mr. Huzjak had a leadership role in <br />the permitting, planning, design, rehabilitation, and construction of water resources projects <br />and dams with construction costs from less than $0.05 million to over $600 million. <br />EDUCATION <br />M.S., Civil Engineering (Geotechnical), University of Colorado, Denver, 1988 <br />B.S., Civil Engineering Technology, Youngstown State University, Ohio, 1982 <br />PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION <br />Registered Professional Engineer: Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, <br />Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah, Wyoming <br />RELEVANT EXPERIENCE <br />RUETE;R-HESS DAM AND RESERVOIR ENLARGEMENT, DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO, FOR <br />PARKER WATER 8a SANITATION D~TRICT. Project Manager/Chief Engineer for the <br />enlargement of Rueter-Hess Dam. Final design of the enlargement is being performed <br />concurrent with construction of the initial dam. The zoned earthen dam will be raised 61 <br />feet, resulting in an ultimate dam height of 196 feet, the crest length wilt be about 7,500 <br />feet, and the embankment will contain about 16 million cubic yards of fill. Managed <br />expediting design and obtaining approval from the regulatory agencies to expand the length <br />of the grout curtain and to raise the height of the tower to accommodate the enlarged dam <br />prior to designing the embankment and spillway. This approach resulted in significant cost <br />savings to the owner because the work could be constructed without demobilization and <br />remobilization of the contractors. <br />COLORADO CITY RESERVOIR, PUEBLO COUNTY, COLORADO, FOR COLORADO CITY <br />METROPOLfTAN DISTRICT. Project Manager for planning-level study for a new 80-foot-tall <br />earthen embankment dam. Responsibilities included identification and evaluation of key <br />technical and environmental items that could impact development of the Project. <br />Performed geologic reconnaissance and developed a conceptual design for the <br />embankment, outlet works, and spillway. Prepared a cost estimate for the Project. <br />
