    I’m excited to share that I have officially completed my internship with BKF Engineers in their SWPPP department! Over the past 10 months, I conducted weekly inspections at two construction sites in San Luis Obispo County. In addition to inspections, I performed water quality testing during rain events and supported site teams in managing stormwater runoff to remain compliant with permit requirements. With both projects now successfully closed out, I’m wrapping up an incredibly valuable experience. A huge thank you to Cathy Schwarz for helping me get started, and to the entire SWPPP team for their constant support and guidance along the way. Through this experience, I gained hands-on knowledge of QSP/QSD roles and developed a strong understanding of how the Construction General Permit operates. I’m excited to carry this new perspective and appreciation for water management into my next opportunity!

    Happy National Public Works Week! 👷♂️👷♀️ The theme for this year's #NationalPublicWorksWeek hosted by American Public Works Association theme, “Rooted in Service, Powered by Community,” recognizes the people, partnerships, and long-term commitment behind the infrastructure systems communities rely on every day. At BKF, the theme reflects our mission to deliver thoughtful, client-centered solutions that strengthen communities and create lasting value through collaboration, innovation, and integrity. BKF celebrates National Public Works Week by highlighting two projects honored with 2026 APWA Silicon Valley Project of the Year Awards in this year's branded theme: - The Town of Hillsborough’s Shady Lane Storm Drain Replacement Project, (Utilities category, over $2 Million) - The City of Menlo Park Haven Avenue Street Improvement Project, (Transportation category, $2 million–$5 million). We are honored to support our clients as these recognitions reflect BKF’s commitment to improving public infrastructure. Rooted in resilience and public safety, the Shady Lane Storm Drain Replacement Project helps protect the Town of Hillsborough’s infrastructure and quality of life for the community for years to come. BKF supported the Town of Hillsborough by providing engineering design and coordination services to replace and upsize aging storm drain infrastructure, improving drainage capacity, reducing localized flooding risk during heavy rains, and supporting roadway improvements within a constrained residential environment. The Haven Avenue Street Improvement Project improves transportation access and mobility for the Menlo Park community while creating safer, more accessible travel options for all users. BKF supported the City of Menlo Park as the primary consultant for a multimodal corridor improvement project featuring ADA-accessible upgrades, roadway and traffic signal improvements, and a new bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing that closes a critical Bay Trail gap. #BKF #NationalPublicWorksWeek #APWA

    Wrapping up an impactful few days at the Association of California Water Agencies Conference in Sacramento. 🌊 Days 2 and 3… A lot of the discussions centered around the future of water infrastructure, resilience and the challenges agencies are navigating across the state. 💧It was great hearing different perspectives and learning more about the priorities shaping upcoming projects and long-term planning efforts. From a Business Development standpoint, conferences like ACWA are always a reminder that strong partnerships and genuine connections are what continue to move our industry forward. 🚧 Appreciative of everyone who stopped by booth 101, shared ideas and took time to connect throughout the week. Looking forward to continuing the conversations beyond the conference! 🙌 Representing BKF Engineers with pride! 💪#BKFStrong 🔵🟢⚪️ #ACWA2026 #NetworkingNinja #BusinessDevelopment #WaterIndustry #CaliforniaWater #CivilEngineering #Infrastructure #Networking #Collaboration

  • Congratulations to SFCTA, HDR, and the BKF CM team on winning the ASCE Region 9 2025 Outstanding Roadway and Highway Project Award for the Yerba Buena Island I-80/Southgate Road & Interchange project. We attended ASCE's California Infrastructure Symposium Awards Luncheon to accept the project’s fifth major award to date. BKF provided construction management services for this $36M reconstruction, helping improve safety and multimodal access at a critical Bay Bridge connection. The project enhances connectivity for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians while supporting the future of Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island. This work reinforces our role as a leading CM firm in the Bay Area, delivering complex infrastructure solutions in highly constrained environments. Our experienced CM transportation group plays a key role in supporting projects like this from design through construction. #BKF #ASCE #BayArea

    BKF’s Government Solutions Northern California Regional Lead Patrick Dobbins presented to the ASCE San Jose Branch about his 10-year effort to deliver the City of Gonzales’ Industrial Wastewater System. The program will increase the city’s wastewater capacity and prepare for upgrading the existing wastewater treatment plant. “This project creates the capacity needed for both housing and industrial growth in Gonzales, while addressing long-standing treatment challenges tied to agricultural processing,” Patrick said. Located in the heart of the Salinas Valley, Gonzales needed an economical and efficient solution that would support both community growth and industry demands. The new system improves how wastewater is managed and supports long-term sustainability. BKF’s Construction Management and Government Solutions teams played a key role in moving the project forward from planning, design, financing, permitting, and construction. 🏆 The project was recognized with the APWA Monterey Bay Chapter Project of the Year (Environmental) in 2026, underscoring its lasting impact on the region. #BKF #ASCE Andrea Mosqueda, PE
