The board relied on the experience and expertise of
the joint venture partners to improve and expand
upon the scope of the initial plan. Throughout the

over the design specified in the RFP.
Open communication came into play again
during construction. With the team managing
multiple job sites, efficiency and time management were crucial to maintaining a tight schedule.
Open communication between the design-build

commissioning and start-up. CH2M HILL and
Western Summit operated the facility for the
first three months prior to the formal acceptance
test, allowing the team to fine-tune systems and

optimize operations. During this three-month
period, the newly hired operating staff shadowed
the design-build team members, learning how to
operate the Buckman facilities from those already
familiar with them.
The project came in early and is currently
delivering more than 70 percent of Santa Fe’s
annual water supply—15 million gallons daily

the project and the owner’s satisfaction.
Representing stakeholders, the Buckman

partner, the CH2M HILL/Western Summit
Constructors Joint Venture, achieved its
goal—delivering potable water to Santa Fe
and the surrounding county.
