Aspen School District

Civil and environmental engineering for upgrades at the Aspen School District.

In 2002 the Aspen School District was approved for a 90-million-dollar bond to upgrade their facilities. RFE in collaboration with several local team members designed major upgrades to the site and its infrastructure. Pedestrian and vehicle access were improved to be in compliance with ADA requirements. In addition, significant upgrades to the drainage were designed and installed to address long standing issues. Phase 1 was completed in the 2022 and further Phases are planned for the coming years.

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.
