This project was created to remove and replace the failing gabion lined drainage channel installed during the spring/summer of 2011. Tiffany was employed to work with both county officials and the selected engineering firm (Kimley-Horn & Assoc.) on the design, constructability and budget for this project. We worked side by side with both entities providing design input and value engineering alternatives including budget reviews to insure that the project came in under budget. TCC met severe time constraints on both the design and construction phases of this project.
The project consisted of the removal and replacement of two and three-tier gabion baskets with a 6” concrete channel for the entire length of the drainage channel (2334 lf) in addition to traffic control and dust mitigation. Additionally the County requested work above and beyond the contractual scope of work, which Tiffany completed at no additional cost to the County through value engineering.
The project schedule was tight and work had to be completed prior to the monsoons. TCC placed multiple crews on the site to insure early completion. The adjacent property owners expressed their appreciation for the diligence and quality our crews maintained throughout the duration of the project. The gabion basket supplier (Macaferri) brought other gabion contractors to our site to “show them how the finished product should look”. Tiffany also assumed coordination duties with APS and Century Link for utility relocations relieving county officials from this burden.
