RPA’s range of survey services includes right-of-way delineation, topographic survey, boundary survey, ALTA, aerial mapping, base mapping, legal descriptions / exhibits, strip maps, easements, staking, platting, and condo platting / horizontal regime.

PREDESIGNThe predesign process is a collaborative effort. It requires the development of options to discover the ideal solution for each challenge. RPA’s range of services includes: Design Concept Reports (DCRs), Candidate Assessment Reports (CARs), Project Assessment (PA) Reports, Scoping Letters, Change of Access Reports, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Offi cials (AASHTO) Criteria Report, feasibility studies, site selection reports, design memorandums, pedestrian safety projects, PM-10 projects, local government projects, and Floodplain Delineation Studies.

DESIGNRPA’s engineering design services involves processing specialized techniques to meet desired needs and applying standards and regulations which govern this process. RPA’s process involves knowledge, creativity, and vision. RPA believes that the success of a project is the result of continual coordination with the project stakeholders, a complete understanding of the scope of work, and an experienced design / survey team. RPA’s range of design services includes transportation, water / wastewater, site civil, and parks.

POST DESIGNRPA continues to provide support and assistance long after the design is complete. It is our practice to work with our clients until the project is operable and most importantly, until they are completely satisfi ed.

public and private clientele.

The Sahuaro Ranch Sports Complex Project is the centerpiece of the City of Glendale’s Parks and Recreation program, providing ample recreational opportunities to the community. The existing site was not meeting the needs of local residents and required signifi cant improvements. Thorough engineering and planning analysis allowed RPA to identify signifi cant issues that led to the existing site’s continuing deterioration and diffi cult maintenance. By utilizing the latest 3D modeling technology, RPA seamlessly integrated planning and engineering design solutions that helped transform the site into a multi-use, user-friendly facility. Sustainable design elements helped to resolve complex drainage and accessibility issues, as well as reduce operations and maintenance costs for the city.

Civil infrastructure is a fundamental element of everyday life. We depend on it for our overall well-being and rely on its sustainability to simplify our daily lives. RPA recognizes the important impact that civil infrastructure plays in our communities and considers this signifi cant responsibility when it undertakes any project. For more than three decades, RPA has been providing such services to public and private clients statewide. We specialize in industrial, commercial, residential, and sports facilities. RPA’s experience also includes award-winning park designs. Our comprehensive experience allows us to provide the best value and project

success to our clients.

The City of Peoria entered into a long-term extension of their agreement with both the San Diego Padres and the Seattle Mariners organizations to continue spring training at the Peoria Sports Complex. As part of the agreement, signifi cant improvements and expansions are being made to each clubhouse and associated facilities. As a CMAR project, RPA worked closely with the contractor throughout the design phase on implementing strategies to protect existing facilities in place where required, reduce project costs through incorporation of value engineering, and to defi ne appropriate construction sequencing. The proposed clubhouse improvements were designed for LEED certifi cation and project design implemented Low Impact Development (LID) concepts throughout the civil design. The project schedule played an important role in the design process. The design and construction schedules required close coordination with Major League Baseball organizations to ensure no disruption to their spring training schedules.

Inadequate drainage facilities can cause catastrophic fl ooding, threaten public safety, and damage the surrounding infrastructure – including roads, utilities, homes, businesses, and agricultural land. RPA has experience and technical expertise to develop hydrologic models, map fl oodplains, and design complex storm water management systems that control storm water runoff and eliminate fl ooding problems. Our expertise includes complex water resource modeling projects involving on-site and off-site drainage for roadway, corridors, storm

drain design, and drainage master plans.

The project included design of open channels, storm drain system and detention basins. The multi- agency fi ve mile long project had an accelerated schedule due to funding constraints. The design plans were divided into three sections so that it could be constructed in phases. The hydraulic modeling was complex and included unsteady HEC-RAS and SWMM analysis. The results of that modeling revealed the existing box culvert at Bell Road could be preserved, which provided substantial cost savings to the client. The preliminary design was completed within schedule and budget. The fi nal design for Phase 1 will be completed in March 2015.

RPA’s energy + power portfolio represents a variety of local, national, and international projects encompassing renewable energy, hydropower, substation, and communication towers. Our firm has been approved by the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) to complete projects in Sub-Sahara Africa and we are currently delivering energy through hydro and solar power to

this region.

RPA was contracted by APS to provide project management, site planning, conditional use permitting, public outreach, civil engineering, drainage, landscaping, irrigation, environmental design, and construction management services for the Doney Park Renewable Energy Site (DPRES), a 10-acre solar photovoltaic energy generation and 69 kV substation. The site is located in the Doney Park area of unincorporated Coconino County. This utility scale renewable energy generation facility is part of the larger APS Community Power Project which received a Department of Energy Grant to study the impact of a high concentration of distributed renewable energy directly to the electric grid. As one of the fi rst utility scale photovoltaic projects in Coconino County, RPA had the opportunity to work with County staff to review the existing design standards and policies effect on solar photovoltaic sites. We worked with the County to determine appropriate design standards and practices, many of which required variances from existing County standards. Through the conditional use permit application process we worked with multiple County departments in order to ensure the site plan and design would fulfi ll all of the county objectives and goals, while also meeting the technical requirements for the development of photovoltaic energy generation sites.
