Vilano Pier Floating Dock

Vilano Beach Floating Pier Vilano Beach, Florida DCCM provided engineering design services for a 100-foot floating dock installed perpendicular to the Vilano Pier in St. Johns County, Florida, enhancing boater access to the Vilano Town Center. The project required careful evaluation of challenging site conditions, including heavy boat traffic, wind-driven wave action, and strong tidal currents. Our team conducted a comprehensive review of existing conditions and anticipated loading requirements to inform the development of performance-based design specifications for the floating dock system and associated gangways, ensuring long-term functionality and durability. In collaboration with subconsultants, DCCM supported the project through bathymetric surveying and water quality analysis to assess water circulation and flushing characteristics critical to the dock’s performance and environmental compliance. The team also coordinated permitting efforts with regulatory agencies, including the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). During construction, DCCM provided ongoing support through contractor submittal reviews and coordination, helping to ensure the project was delivered in accordance with design intent and regulatory requirements.

Rio Grande Valley Metropolitan Transportation Plan

Rio Grande Valley Metropolitan Transportation Plan Edinburg, Texas The Rio Grande Valley Metropolitan Planning Org (RGVMPO) selected DCCM to assist in the development of their 5-year update to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) originally adopted in 2020. This 2050 MTP Update is the first full MTP update for the new RGVMPO, which was formed in 2019. DCCM assistance to the RGVMPO allowed them to adopt the 2050 plan in December 2025 and obtain favorable ratings for the plan from FHWA Texas. The 2050 MTP includes the MPO’s robust evaluation of potential project funding and financial capacities at the local level as a complement to DCCM’s evaluation of federal funding trends and forecasts. The 2050 MTP included recommendations and network prioritization results from the Resilience and Sustainability study to support the development of a Resilience Improvement Plan as well as strategies and recommendations developed in the RGVMPO Transportation Performance Management Framework also completed by DCCM. The incorporation of Performance Management Framework principles enhances how the RGVMPO can gather data on and report progress toward meeting federally required performance goal areas during MTP implementation. The DCCM team incorporated best practices as part of an enhanced community-based public outreach and stakeholder engagement approach. The approach included major outreach events such as setting up tables and booths at the UTRGV Back to School Bash where over two thousand students attended multiple farmers market pop up events, surveys and interviews with community leaders and cooperating agencies, as well as tabling at a critical mass bike ride in Harlingen. All provided opportunities to develop goals, objectives and priorities for program improvements which aided the MPO team in assessing the opportunities to improve mobility choice and options for the regional population. In addition, this has led the MPO into ongoing discussions with regional government entities, agencies, and authorities on gathering and substantiating funding availability to assist with broadening the project implementation program sustained through the financially constrained short, mid-, and long-term implementation program. With their program developed, the DCCM team assisted with updates and scenario evaluation of network performance and operational characteristics using the regional travel demand model. This evaluation allowed the DCCM team to assess and support development of future network improvements capable of building sufficient capacity to accommodate projected changes in land use, economic development, population, network connectivity, and employment.

St. Johns County Health & Human Services Center

St. Johns County Health & Human Services Center St. Augustine, FL DCCM provided engineering services for the Health & Human Services facility located near the St. Johns County office complex. Completed in three phases, the project encompasses over 40,000 SF of building footprint on a 16-acre site. Notably, the Center’s stormwater facility includes a wet detention pond paired with two bio-retention ponds, providing diversity of landscaping to the site. Project scope included complete civil site design, stormwater and utilities infrastructure design, and permitting with St. Johns County, City of St. Augustine, FDEP and SJRWMD. Our team coordinated and managed all aspects of this project and worked closely with the building architect, St. Johns County Construction Services, and St. Johns County Survey Department. We coordinated with subconsultants to determine the wetland line and flood plain impact, and conduct geotechnical investigations. We also worked with the City of St. Augustine Public Works Department, as the City provided utility service to this site, and USACE to obtain permitting for this project. Our team helped the county prepare bid specifications, assisted with bid evaluation, subsequent contract administration and engineering construction inspection of the contractor. This project serves as an example of DCCM’s experience in working with several entities to complete a large project on an accelerated schedule.

Wheatland Wastewater Improvements

Wheatland Wastewater Improvements Wheatland, IN DCCM led an internal and external team of engineers to design and develop a new sanitary sewer system for the Town of Wheatland. This system included designing three positive displacement blowers for a new extended aeration plant along with several miles of new low pressure force main, one lift station, and a package wastewater treatment plant for the town of 500 people. The team evaluated wastewater lagoons for Wheatland being crucial for maintaining compliance with regulations and ensuring effective treatment. One of the key challenges in the design of project was ensuring the project met the Town’s limited budget, supported by a $14M SRF grant award for water/wastewater. Through a combination of creative design and funding solutions and selection of a minimally invasive technology such as low pressure sewer, DCCM was able to secure reasonable bids that allowed the project to proceed.

I have seen Aaron Crow, Poject Manager, work along with his team members as he is always clear and concise on what he is asking for. I believe the team excels under his leadership and never feel overwhelmed or worried about the projects because they communicate with us to keep everyone organized and on task. They have definitely been an asset to our Town and Utility!” Erika Goble Wheatland Deputy Clerk Markets Municipal Water Services water Conveyance Treatment Water Resources

Hendricks County Jail

Hendricks County Jail Danville, IN DCCM led the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department through their design process for a new jail facility and administrative offices. Completed in 2022, the 159,621-sq.ft. facility was designed with the future in mind, creating a space that not only fulfilled their immediate needs but also had the ability to adapt and change with the community. Our collaborative approach led to a highly operational and staffing efficient design that allowed the county to maintain their previous staffing levels while doubling the inmate bed count and created therapeutic spaces that enhanced rehabilitation. The goal was to accommodate the immediate and future needs of the County by creating the space to be easily expandable and operationally efficient with state-of-the-art technology. The design elements were optimized with a keen focus on inmate/staff safety and staff retention to provide a less institutional and more normalized living and working environment At a Glance 159,621 Square Feet $58M Project Cost Markets Buildings Government Services Buildings & Places Architecture Justice MEP
