40 Million Reasons to Be Proud of This Team The day started with a project status update from Shannon Parks, Managing Engineer – Collections System, Johnson County Wastewater (JCW), on the State Line Pump Stations and Forcemain project. It reminds me how proud I am of this team and of One GBA. Selected in 2022, this $40M investment will improve system reliability and reduce long-term costs for approximately 500,000 JCW residential, industrial, and commercial customers. What makes it special isn’t just the scale. It’s how it brought together nearly every part of GBA (survey, stream team, architecture, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, controls, traffic/transportation, public involvement, procurement support, and construction inspection), working alongside I-Solutions to enhance our designs through constructability review and real-world building insight. That collaboration helped make a complex project significantly easier to build and is a great example of how our integrated approach sets our team apart. All of this is happening in the highly visible City of Leawood, Kansas along a heavily traveled corridor, requiring constant coordination while navigating floodplain design, waste remediation, complex utility conflicts, and supply chain challenges. Tim Schneller and Colleen Connor are leading the overall effort, with Jacob Cox, PE and Mike Hart guiding construction inspection. It’s been a true team lift. #TeamGBA #GBAWEG #Municpal #RemarkableSolutions #JCW

Proud moment for our team and our community.   The U.S. 69 Corridor Modernization and Expansion Project (69Express) marks a historic milestone for Kansas infrastructure.  GBA is incredibly proud to have played two key roles in delivering Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT)’s largest project in history.   As a major design participant providing roadway, traffic, and drainage design services, survey staking, and as the construction management team lead supporting construction for the design-build team, our people had the opportunity to help shape and deliver improvements that will enhance safety, reduce congestion, and improve travel-time reliability for thousands of daily users along this critical corridor. Even more impressive, this collaborative team delivered the project 10 months ahead of schedule, demonstrating what is possible when strong partnerships, trust, and shared commitment come together. We were honored to work alongside outstanding partners, including Parsons Corporation and the Joint Venture of Ames Construction & Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. (ESS), and many other stakeholders who brought expertise, innovation, and dedication to every phase of the project.    Congratulations to Secretary Calvin Reed, KDOT Project Manager Steve Rockers, and the entire KDOT team, as well as Mayor Curt Skoog and the City of Overland Park, for their leadership and vision in advancing infrastructure that will serve our communities for decades to come.   Most importantly, I want to recognize the incredible GBA team members whose hard work, collaboration, and professionalism made this achievement possible. I couldn’t be more proud. At GBA, we believe in creating remarkable solutions that strengthen our communities, and projects like this demonstrate the lasting impact we can make together.   #TeamGBA #Infrastructure #Transportation #DesignBuild #KDOT #OverlandPark #Teamwork #Kansas https://lnkd.in/gcPHpZvq
