How You Can Revive a Bankrupted District and Build a New Wastewater Treatment Plant
How You Can Revive a Bankrupted District and Build a New Wastewater Treatment Plant Discover how Geovanny Romero, District Manager at Morrison Creek Water and Sanitation District, revived a bankrupted district by overcoming financial and regulatory challenges to build a new wastewater treatment plant. Learn from his experience and understand the key strategies that can help you navigate complex hurdles and secure funding for your own wastewater projects. Lesson #1 Origins of Morrison Creek Water and Sanitation District Geovanny discusses the formation of the Morrison Creek Water and Sanitation District. The district was established in the early 1970s when a construction group, the Woodmore Corporation, began developing the area in anticipation of Colorado hosting the Winter Olympic Games. The group aimed to create Olympic Villages and towns to accommodate the influx of people and related activities. They purchased 11,000 acres of pristine Colorado mountain land, and the Morrison Creek Water and Sanitation District was created to serve these communities. Lesson #2: How Geovanny Overcame Challenges in Permitting a Wastewater Treatment Plant l asked Geovanny about the challenges faced during the construction of the new wastewater treatment plant. Geovanny explained that they had to comply with federal and state regulations and ensure the discharged water was clean as it flowed into a reservoir used for recreation. They had to overcome permitting challenges with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). Geovanny shared that they had to conduct three different studies due to the unique requirements of discharging water into a lake. These studies included geological and archaeological requirements, as well as mixing zone studies carried out by a PhD expert. The mixing zone studies assessed how the effluent mixed under different seasonal conditions in the reservoir (summer, fall, and winter). The state requested an additional study in spring, but Geovanny hoped they would understand that more water flow during spring would result in better mixing and not require the additional study. Lesson #3 How Geovanny Overcame Challenges in Permitting a Wastewater Treatment Plant Geovanny discuss the financial challenges of a previously bankrupted district in funding a new wastewater treatment plant. Geovanny shares that he had to start from scratch, talking to various people, attending meetings, and reaching out to larger metro districts for advice. With the help of Adam Sommers at Aquaworks, Geovanny and his team applied for every grant they could find. By doing so, he gained a new perspective and a wealth of knowledge. Ultimately, they secured funding through the USDA, CDPHE, and the Colorado Department of Local Affairs of Local Affairs. The USDA financing, combined with a low-interest loan, covered the entire project cost. By obtaining these grants and loans, Geovanny effectively managed to pay for the project at 50 cents on the dollar, which significantly reduced the overall financial burden on the district.

Top 3 Insights Gained from Taylor with Glacier
Top 3 Insights Gained from Taylor with Glacier I spoke with Taylor Pearson, Estimator at with Glacier Construction, who has leveled up much of rural Colorado with his unique skill set towards project management. Taylor has done an incredible job delivering water and wastewater projects across Colorado in a timely and professional manner. Taylor shared some incredible insights into their company’s success, approach to working with rural and disadvantaged communities, and recent accomplishments. In this blog post, we will highlight the top three things we learned from Taylor during the show. Lesson #1 Glacier Construction’s Secret Niche: Taylor from Glacier Construction revealed their company’s secret niche: focusing on rural and disadvantaged communities that often get overlooked by larger general contractors. Taylor explained that these communities need clean and distributed water just like everyone else, but they often lack the attention and resources of major metropolitan areas. Glacier Construction takes pride in working with small towns and rural communities, such as Cheraw and Eckley, where they have been involved in projects like filter skid replacement and water tower construction. This focus on rural areas sets them apart from other general contractors who prioritize larger, more high-profile projects. One of the most rewarding experiences Taylor shared was their involvement in a CMAR (Construction Manager at Risk) project in the town of Eckley. During a town hall meeting, Taylor and their team presented the project details and pricing to the community members. Seeing the residents’ excitement and gratitude for having someone invest in their community’s infrastructure was a heartwarming and fulfilling experience for Taylor and the entire Glacier Construction team. Lesson #2 Embracing Transparency and Trust as Core Values We discussed the core values of Glacier Construction, with a particular focus on transparency. Taylor explains that transparency is their number one belief, which helps build and maintain strong partnerships with engineers and owners they work with. While some contractors may avoid sharing detailed cost breakdowns to prevent clients from scrutinizing each line item, Glacier Construction takes a different approach. By adopting an open book policy and providing complete cost information, they build trust with their clients. Taylor believes this fosters long-term relationships and repeat business, which is crucial in their industry. This is a clear display of the importance of transparency in building trust and how it can work in a company’s favor, leading to clients becoming their biggest cheerleaders. Taylor emphasizes the significance of maintaining a good reputation in a small market, as a negative mark can have long-lasting consequences. Lesson #3 Understanding CMAR Projects and their Benefits We chat about CMAR (Construction Manager At Risk) projects and their benefits. Taylor explains that unlike traditional design-bid-build projects where the lowest bidder is usually awarded the project, CMAR projects involve a best value selection process. This includes considering factors such as the project team, approach, references, and preconstruction services fees. The CMAR process involves the contractor being selected at around 30-60% of the design stage, and they collaborate with the owner and engineer on design workshops and project kickoff meetings. Contractors can then provide more accurate cost estimates and contingencies, based on their expertise in actual construction costs. As the design progresses, the contractor submits open-book pricing with contingencies. This transparent process allows all parties to see where costs are coming from. Upon approval, preconstruction services are completed, and the project moves into the construction phase. One of the main advantages of CMAR projects is the ability to accelerate value engineering input and incorporate cost-saving measures during the design phase. Contractors can also suggest pre-procurement tactics for long lead items, potentially speeding up the project timeline compared to traditional design-bid-build projects. In summary, CMAR projects offer a more collaborative and transparent approach to project delivery, allowing contractors to provide valuable cost-saving insights and potentially accelerating the project timeline.
