Service overview

What this service involves

Calicore supports water and wastewater projects through planning, condition review, alternatives evaluation, civil design, rehabilitation documents, procurement, construction coordination, and closeout. The scope is defined around the owner’s asset, operating constraints, and current decision.

Assignments can include field investigation, plans and specifications, cost and constructability review, bid support, responses to contractor questions, change review, and construction-phase documentation for small and mid-sized utilities and public agencies.

Step by step

How the process works

The exact scope is matched to the project, but a typical assignment follows these steps.

01
Define the owner’s decision
We identify the operational problem, asset condition, project objective, budget, schedule, permitting constraints, and outage requirements.
02
Review records and field conditions
Record drawings, standards, failures, maintenance information, site data, and accessible conditions are assembled.
03
Develop the design path
Alternatives are compared and the selected approach is developed into the agreed civil plans, details, specifications, and cost or constructability support.
04
Support procurement and construction
When included, Calicore assists with bidding, submittals, RFIs, field questions, changes, testing, and closeout.
