Municipal Engineering is a core service that has been offered by Spicer Group since Clifford Spicer started the company in 1944. Our professionals working within this group include civil, electrical, mechanical and construction engineers, and they provide a wide range of engineering solutions to communities around the state for their public works, infrastructure, development, management, and maintenance needs. In addition to providing the original design for many wastewater collection/treatment, drinking water distribution/treatment, storm water, and roadway/bridge infrastructure, the Municipal Engineering Group also assists clients with preparing for future growth by identifying necessary improvements and expansions to these assets to allow for increased capacity and growth needs.

Additionally, our Municipal Engineering Group works side-by-side with our clients to review plans for new developments, subdivisions, roads, and public utility extensions. These plans are reviewed to ensure they meet all necessary municipal requirements of water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and zoning ordinances. Spicer Group provides reviews to verify compliance with local municipal construction standards and verifies that plans comply with fire department requirements, that a Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) permit is issued, and that if easements are necessary, they are prepared, recorded, and submitted to the municipality for inclusion in their files.

For many communities, Spicer Group provides the on-site inspection and construction administration of their owned utilities. We verify that the utilities constructed are in accordance with the municipality’s approved plans and standards and that as-built drawings are completed and returned to the municipality.

 

While many of our projects occur close to home in Michigan, we have completed projects in many other states, some as far away as California. Our Municipal Group team spans multiple offices and is always prepared to respond to our clients in a timely and efficient manner. Over 55 professionals are in this group, and it is led by:

  • Darrick Huff, P.E., who has been with Spicer Group for more than 24 years

  • Shawn Middleton, P.E., who has been with Spicer Group for more than 25 years

  • Phil Westmoreland, P.E., who has been with Spicer Group for more than 8 years
