(Well 32), treatment of secondary contaminants (Well 27 and 18), and Michael Schulz, Brandon Keller,
upgrades to existing wells (Well 16b/c and Well 17). Our team completed David Kinzer, Randy Brixey
the design and construction engineering for the Well 32 facility,which
includes a 2,000 gpm vertical turbine well pump. This project includes Contact:
provisions for future treatment, a separate generator room, and a separate Kyle Radek
electrical room. Most recently Keller designed a new treatment facility at the Assistant City Engineer
City's existing Well 18 and Well 10B sites to address high concentrations 208.898.5500
of iron, manganese, and ammonia. The projects included demolishing the kradek@meridiancity.org
existing well building and constructing new buildings to house the well and
new pressure treatment vessels. Previous projects included treatment for
manganese, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide with a pyurolusite filter media.
Keller's team also assisted the City in designing a blended well system to r
improve water quality and reduce chlorine demands. Cn 32

QUALIFICATIONS OF THE PROJECT MANAGER
LAPPY RUPP, PE I PROJECT MANAGER
MS, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Brigham Young University
Licensed: CA, ID, MT, NV, OR, WA, WY
s Larry's resume instills confidence in his ability to successfully manage wastewater treatment
projects. He provides proven experience in meeting clients' budget, schedule, and quality
needs. He offers a keen sense of detail and exceptional management experience. Having
previously served as Project Manager for the City on the Clif Bar Pretreatment Facility,
we hope the City recognizes his high level of dedication. In addition to the Clif Bar Pretreatment Facility, Larry
previously managed projects for the cities of Lewiston, Jerome, Meridian, Boise, Burley, Kuna, Emmett, Middleton,
and Caldwell, ID; and Clarkston, WA.
Larry will serve as the City's Project Manager and will coordinate the team's efforts to ensure each project meets
the City's expectations. Larry excels as a manager for complex planning, design, and construction projects. His
career has focused on wastewater treatment and conveyance design projects, including work on plants ranging
from 1 MGD to 200 MGD. Larry's attention to detail and teamwork approach results in quality projects that are on-
time and within budget.
Larry is experienced in conventional and advanced treatment technologies, including phosphorus removal,
membranes, UV disinfection, solids handling, and reuse. He has written papers and given presentations, such as
"Overcoming Barriers to Comply with a Temperature Limit" and "Flexible MBR Design to Meet Future Phosphorus
Limits." Larry will draw on his past experience and knowledge to successfully lead wastewater treatment and reuse
project efforts.
He recently managed a $35.8 million improvement project for the City of Jerome, and is familiar with local
wastewater issues. Larry designs and manages water and wastewater treatment projects for clients throughout
Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Utah, and California. He is familiar with the requirements and oversight process of
IDEA and has coordinated with multiple other jurisdictions including, IDWR, the Environmental Protection Agency,
the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers, canal companies, power companies, water utilities, and other supporting utilities. o
