Aspen City Offices & Rio Grande Place

Infrastructure for Rio Grande Place, Aspen Police Department, city offices, and Pitkin County office building, jail, and court house.

RFE commenced design work on the new Aspen City Office at Rio Grande Place, completing the land use application and attending public meetings to address civil engineering issues. The project was then phased into the infrastructure at Rio Grande Place and the actual building site. In addition to extensive civil engineering work, RFE inspected, recorded, and documented the construction to ensure the contractor was following City of Aspen and Aspen Consolidated Sanitation District’s Construction Standards.

Challenges & highlights

As Engineer of Record for the Basalt Sanitation District, we oversee projects ranging from wastewater treatment facilities to collection system improvements.

We serve multiple districts across Colorado’s mountain communities and have partnered with Basalt Sanitation District since 2018. This long-term relationship reflects our commitment to consistent results.

The results

Our long-standing relationship and proven track record allow us to help the District make informed, long-term decisions that strengthen the community and better serve its customers.

Through nearly a decade of partnership, we have developed deep institutional knowledge of the District’s systems, allowing us to solve problems more efficiently and approach planning holistically.

During our tenure as District Engineer, we have helped secure over $1.5 million in grant funding for capital projects, completed a rate study to guide the next 30 years of service, and established a financial plan that supports long-term stability alongside future improvements.
