As a Subcontractor, PEER provided 3 full-time staff (environmental engineer, civil construction engineer, clerical staff) that were co-located with the project team at the Blue Plains AWWTP. PEER also provided additional key staff on an as-needed basis such as technical writers, electrical and mechanical engineers, MAXIMO specialists, and financial analysts. The environmental engineer was assigned to the team working on treatment process additions, and upgrades and modifications. The civil/construction engineer was assigned to the High Priority Team that manages upkeep and repair of the AWWTP facilities; he also conducts emergency tasks or items that must be resolved quickly, such as the replacement of the heating and ventilation system at the O Street pump station, which pumps most of the flow to the AWWTP.
