The project replaces an existing 2,500 LF small diameter tank line from the Four Season water tank to the Tahoe Woods Subdivision with 12″ tank line to provide fire flows that comply with the California Fire Code. The new line also provided electrical service to the water tank to enable the TCPUD to remotely monitor the water level inside the tank. Special considerations in this project include close coordination with the USFS. The water tank and waterlines are on USFS land acquired through the Burton Santini Act. A USFS Special Use Permit, including specific resources documentation and analysis as well as proper legal privilege was needed from the USFS and the Tahoe Woods Subdivision.

Martis Valley Trail is a paved, multi-use recreational trail, that connects the communities of Truckee and Northstar, and ultimately the Lake Tahoe Basin. The 9+ mile trail begins near the southern limits of the Town of Truckee, crosses through Martis Valley, and ends near Sawmill Flat Reservoir at a junction with Forest Route 73 (AKA the Fiberboard Freeway), allowing connection to Tahoe’s north shore. AEC worked with the environmental consultant to complete an equal-weight CEQA analysis of two project alternatives. Multiple resource areas required bridge/boardwalk crossing evaluations to minimize impacts.

The Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD) completed the construction of their Transportation Maintenance Facility (TMO) in Fall 2003. AEC was involved in the survey, civil design, and portions of the permitting for this project. The TMO facility proposed new construction to house the TTUSD Transportation Department Administration Facilities, enclosed parking for 6 to 14 school buses, a vehicle repair facility for the maintenance and repair of school buses and other District vehicles, and a Transportation Department refueling facility. Additionally, on site parking was provided for public parking with 17 standard stalls and two accessible stalls, employee parking with 74 standard stalls and one accessible stall, and outside parking for 40 standard 40' school buses. The AEC survey department provided base mapping for planning, civil design, and the construction staking for this project, as well as legal descriptions and exhibits to accommodate the lease of the land to TTUSD. This required research of title reports, deeds, existing easements, and assessor's maps.

The KBCCIP involves the redevelopment of the urban core of Kings Beach with curb and gutter, sidewalks, street furniture and stormwater quality improvements. In the conversion of the highway to three lanes, street parking must be moved from the side of the highway to separated parking lots. AEC planned, designed and permitted four separate public parking lots, approximately 20-30 spaces each. This task includes CEQA processing for three of the lots.

Complete design services for a water line interconnection between Tahoe Cedars Water System and McKinney Quail Water System (MQWS). In anticipation of TCPUD’s acquisition of the Tahoe Cedars Water System, the project increases the capacity and storage capable of delivering sufficient fire protection requirements to all areas of Tahoe Cedars for both districts. In addition to adding fire hydrants to meet current fire protection requirements, the project also improves water system operations by providing source redundancy.
Date of completion: 2000
AEC provided surveying services for the Highway 267 Northstar Right Turn Lane for Northstar-at-Tahoe constructed in the Fall 2000. The project required the surveying, permitting, and civil design of a right turn lane from State Highway 267 onto Northstar Drive. AEC provided coordination with Placer County and Caltrans in the preparation of plans for work within both agencies' right-of-way. AEC staff completed project surveys, a legal description and plat for an offer of dedication to Caltrans, civil design and final as-built plans.

Pickleball courts in the Squaw Valley Park used to consist of two courts established by local residents utilizing an overflow parking area. The past five years have seen an explosion in the popularity of the sport. AEC was retained by Placer County Parks Division to design new pickleball courts for an expanded facility. An analysis matrix was completed that ranked various features of three alternative sites and configurations. AEC designed three new courts that were constructed in 2016 at Squaw Valley Park.

As part of Measures E and U General Obligation Bond passage, AEC provided civil engineering design services to reconfigure the parking lot and access to improve safety and efficiency. New improved design elements include, upgrading the parent drop off; providing a separated bus drop off zone; adding a second driveway entrance to improve circulation; and adding a pathway to, and installing crosswalk improvements at Alder Drive.

Schaffer’s Mill is a 475-acre planned development located in Martis Valley, east of Truckee, California. AEC was retained to design and develop improvement plans for the amenity parcels consisting of a clubhouse, restaurant, cart barn and sales center, and a parking lot with 123 spaces. Site amenities included tennis courts, pool, and sport court with separated restrooms. In addition, AEC has provided Construction Documents and Final Maps including field surveys, easement descriptions, utility, roadway, and lot layout, drainage, and construction phase/staking services for golf maintenance facilities, development of 109+ townhomes and over 100 custom lots.

The project involved dredging of lake access to the previous dredged elevation of 6220’ to enable boat operation at lower lake levels. AEC was retained for civil design, topographic and bathymetric surveys, construction inspection/monitoring, as well as permit compliance. AEC provided TRPA, Lahontan, CDFW, and California State Lands permitting compliance/acknowledgement as well as environmental clearance for a California State Parks Right-of-Entry in order to facilitate an early construction start date.
