Experience

Mr. Standridge was the CM for the Gasparilla WWTP design/build project. This project included a fast-track installation of a 0.5-million-gallon-per-day (mgd) package plant at an existing golf course in Boca Grande, Florida. The design/build approach facilitated the 6-month construction window available during the golf course’s off-season. During this 6-month window, an existing circular package plant was removed and replaced by a larger, deeper package plant and an existing concrete package plant was rehabilitated. Construction activities were complicated by the requirement to continue processing wastewater at the existing facility, the tidally impacted surficial groundwater, and an extremely tight construction site. Mr. Standridge has also recently completed other design/build projects in central Florida.

For the City of Tampa’s Water Quality 2000 project, Mr. Standridge was the CM. This project included mechanical, electrical, and automation improvements for the Hillsborough River and Morris Bridge Water Treatment Plants and associated re-pump stations.

For the Summerville Commissioners of Public Works in South Carolina, Mr. Standridge served as CM and resident observer for the 2-year, 10-mgd wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) expansion project. The new plant included carrousel biological nutrient removal basins, sludge handling and load-out facilities, effluent storage basins, a pumping station, an administration building, and a remote post aeration facility. His responsibilities included overall project management, review of project schedules, coordination of shop drawings and request for information (RFI) responses, initiation of change orders, and oversight of inspection personnel.

Mr. Standridge was CM for the Reedy Creek Improvement District wastewater treatment and reclaimed water system upgrade in Orlando, Florida. This 3-year, fast-track program consisted of a WWTP expansion, rapid infiltration basin, composting facilities, material recycling facility, reuse water distribution system, and administrative facilities. His responsibilities included reviewing project schedules, initiating change orders, reviewing and coordinating shop drawings and responses to RFIs, and overall management of inspection personnel and testing laboratories.

Mr. Standridge was the CM on two well projects for the Englewood Water District, Florida. The first project consisted of drilling twelve 12-inch-diameter groundwater production well pumps and a 16-inch transmission main to supply an existing lime softening WTP. The second project included testing and developing two 12-inch reverse osmosis (RO) production wells and one 6-inch monitoring well. Also for the Englewood Water District, Mr. Standridge was CM for an RO treatment plant and supply wells, and four major water transmission mains, a meter repair building, and an office building addition.

For Pasco County, Florida, Mr. Standridge was CM for a project that featured the construction of two regional treatment plants, one of which was 3.0 mgd and the other 3.5 mgd. His responsibilities included overall management of inspection personnel and coordination of construction activities of multiple prime contractors. Mr. Standridge assisted in shop drawing review, change order administration, testing laboratory coordination, and other SDC.

Mr. Standridge was also the lead resident observer for a multimillion-dollar, two-phase Hillsborough County Aviation Authority Airport Expansion Airside "F" project. This project involved constructing concrete runways, aprons, taxiways, underground fueling systems, and storm water runoff facilities with outfall structures. He was responsible for the overall management of inspection personnel and the coordination of construction activities of multiple prime contractors. He assisted in shop drawing review, change order administration, testing laboratory coordination, and other SDC.

Mr. Standridge was resident observer for two wastewater injection wells, a pumping station, and transmission mains for the City of St. Petersburg, Florida. The wells and pumping station were constructed at the City's Southeast WWTP. The 54-inch to 24-inch-diameter telescoping injection wells were constructed to a depth of 2,000 feet.

Other projects for the City of St. Petersburg for which Mr. Standridge served as resident observer include four sludge-dewatering facilities, a 5.0-mgd storage tank and pumping station, and two injection wells.

Mr. Standridge served as resident observer for an award-winning alum sludge-dewatering project at the Hillsborough River WTP in Tampa, Florida. This project included the construction of two large sludge thickeners and a two-story sludge dewatering facility housing six 2-meter belt presses, polymer mixing and feed systems, and a sludge loading station.
