Government Solutions

Regional entities like water boards, transportation authorities, and environmental protection agencies play a critical role in managing natural resources, infrastructure, and environmental issues across multiple jurisdictions. We recognize that each region has unique challenges and requirements, and our nationwide footprint gives us the local knowledge to adapt to geo-specific project needs, whether region-specific regulations or area-specific hydrology and geology.

Our team is well-versed in regional regulations and permit requirements and is committed to delivering environmentally responsible solutions that promote long-term sustainability. We also prioritize effective communication with stakeholders to drive project understanding and support.

Our team has completed projects in all 50 states as well as in several territories and has experience working with a range of state agencies, including those tasked with managing environmental quality, natural resources, state parks, game and fish, water development, and abandoned mines. We also partner with state departments of transportation (DOTs) to support a variety of projects, including those focused on piloting and deploying connected and autonomous vehicle technology. Our in-depth understanding of challenges faced by state government entities is due, in part, to the fact that several of our team members are previous state agency geologists, engineers, and project managers.

We understand the importance of creating opportunities for the community to access project information, and we work closely with state agency clients to develop and implement transparent communication plans that create positive outcomes for the agencies and the communities they serve.

We work as an extension of municipal staff in towns and cities across the United States to create more resilient communities. Whether serving as a city engineer in a rural community or supporting master planning for a large city, our goal is to provide sustainable solutions that allow municipalities to stay a step ahead of growth and enhance the quality of life for community members. Municipalities navigate everything from wastewater management and stormwater management to land use planning and zoning to emergency response and more—all while balancing limited resources and changing community needs.

Our team excels at adapting project approaches to match municipal clients’ priorities, and we routinely support project tasks such as identifying and assisting in how to apply for grants, planning and permitting, cost estimating, reviews, compliance, and reporting.

As sovereign nations, tribes face unique challenges when it comes to managing engineering and environmental issues. We understand the importance of incorporating traditional ecological knowledge and community values into our solutions, and we gear every project toward lasting positive impacts for future generations.

We have experience working collaboratively with tribal communities and federal agencies, including the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian Health Service, United States Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Bureau of Reclamation, United States Environmental Protection Agency, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and various state, county, and local agencies.

Whether it be an Agricultural Resource Management Plan (ARMP), a Noxious Weed Plan, or a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review, our professionals are well-prepared to help realize end-state visions on a variety of project types.
