Utilities

This Division services the planning and design needs for the firm’s regional utility districts and municipal utility departments. Typical water system projects include raw waterlines, storage tanks, transmission and distribution mains, and booster stations. Sanitary sewer projects include sewer line extensions and replacements, sewer separation, and lift stations. The firm’s clients include counties, cities, villages, townships and public utilities. BCI assists the majority of its clients with obtaining grants, low-interest loans, and in some cases, loan forgiveness. This includes funding sources such as ODNR, OPWC, OEPA, OWDA, OVRDC, CDBG, ODOT and FAA. Most of these programs require compliance with NEPA standards. BCI also has experience working with RCAP.
