Municipal Overview

Page 1

Municipal We’ve built partnerships with municipalities since our inception in 1978. If there’s been a need, we’ve responded. The result? Diverse service offerings that can address any aspect of the built or natural environment. From the sewers beneath the streets to the power lines across the sky, we’re planning, designing, and building the systems and structures that create communities. We don’t swoop into town to land the big project, and only return for the next modernization or expansion. For communities up and down the eastern United States, we’re the Municipal Engineer, on call for whatever project arises. It’s a role we relish. From long-term planning and development to emergency support and mitigation, we’re equipped with planners, engineers, architects, landscape architects, land surveyors, and environmental scientists who care about communities. For public officials everywhere, stewardship of your community’s assets is the heart of the job. It also happens to be one of LaBella’s core values. Our team is committed to being your partner in the stewardship of public finance, safety, education, and infrastructure.


Services for

Municipalities

We’re built to expertly execute projects from start to finish.

Infrastructure Communities need a strong foundation to run smoothly. We work diligently to ensure that every system or structure that supports your community is in good order. We make sure you have clean water to drink, safe roads to drive on, places to park, bridges to cross, and trails to walk. At LaBella, we provide a team approach with skilled and experienced personnel who contribute to the success of each and every project.

Aging infrastructure is an issue that needs to be continually addressed by every community. One of the biggest challenges for these projects can be finding funding for them, that’s where our planning team comes in. From grants to financing options, LaBella’s team can identify resources that will have a lasting impact in your community. We’re planning, designing, and building the systems and structures that enable modern life. It’s innovation meets heavyduty insight.

No matter the project, we build a team that has demonstrated reliability and accountability. We provide a long list of in-house expertise and engage outside partners where appropriate. LaBella serves as a municipal engineer for cities, villages, and towns all over the East Coast. We support boards and departments and engage stakeholders through committees such as comprehensive planning, transportation, and watershed management. Our history providing municipal engineering services has allowed us to develop a high level of proficiency in all of the relevant regulations that will affect your projects.


Stormwater management Whether it’s permitting, design, facilities, retrofits, or a general consultation, we can solve your stormwater management needs. We always keep green infrastructure practices in mind. If your municipality is an MS4, we can support your program by implementing and updating your Stormwater Management Program Plan.

Our team is ready for your next project, and oftentimes that project will start with: where will it go? We offer subdivision and site planning and design along with all necessary approvals. We also provide subdivision support services, including reviewing compliance issues and supporting boards, departments, and any other stakeholders involved.

Recreation

Grants We seamlessly integrate planning, funding, and design to provide a onestop shop for project success. Our planning team takes your community’s vision and brings it to reality. Our industry knowledge is broad and includes planning, economic development, downtown revitalization, and environmental review.

Trails, parks, athletic fields, pavilions: all assets that make your community attractive to its members. We can design these amenities along with parking, sidewalks, and concession stands —anything your community needs to up its game.


Athletic facilities are more in demand than ever. We educate our clients on differences in maintenance, price, longevity, and injury risk.

Landscape Architecture We combine the art of landscape design with the science of site development to create distinctive solutions for any project type.

Public outdoor spaces have unique demands, and our landscape architects can create or improve their function, aesthetics, security, and accessibility. In designing your project, we’ll draw on our experience with the local climate to create spaces that are easy to operate and maintain. Our landscape architects combine the beauty of nature with the science of construction, bringing creative and functional ideas to life! Our team is adept at providing impactful solutions for the places where we live, work, and play.


Buildings LaBella specializes in the design of energy-efficient, high-performance facilities. Whether it’s a town hall, public library, fire department, police building, bus garage, DPW facility, community center, courthouse, or park facility, our architectural and engineering teams have got you covered. We can design new, improve existing, or completely rehabilitate older buildings for your municipality.

Energy planning and commissioning services can help reduce your operating costs for public facilities, and we have ample experience in delivering accessibility solutions without compromising historic character. Should your project require a public information campaign, LaBella can provide project visualization tools that make communication and consensusbuilding simple.


Geographic Information Systems (gis) LaBella utilizes GIS technology to map infrastructure systems for municipalities. We can start brand new mapping of all your infrastructure assets using old handwritten records or existing CAD files and fill in the gaps with highly accurate field collected data. Or, we can “mash-up” multiple data sources into a single Geodatabase to make maps that are as smart and interactive as they are beautiful. This information can be put to good use by sharing it within your organization, online, and through mobile apps. GIS is becoming more powerful, affordable, and easier to use for small local governments looking for Utility Infrastructure Asset Management solutions.

Environmental Environmental services are critical in getting your project approved and on its way. Our team of environmental professionals, landscape architects, and engineers provides general consultation, wetland delineations and mitigation, permitting, agency relations, and stream restoration. LaBella offers construction services, including environmental consulting, contracting, and remediation services. We also provide solid waste and recycling services for both public and private clients.


At LaBella Associates, our job is to create—structures, plans, ideas, results. As a nationally recognized Design Professional Corporation, that’s a given, right? But here’s what really drives us: creating partnership between our team and our clients. So much so that we become one team, unified in the unrelenting pursuit of exceptional performance on each and every project. Reliability. Accountability. Collaboration. Respect. Not skills we went to school for, but innate in LaBella team members. The pursuit of partnership is embedded in our culture—has been since our inception in 1978. And it affects client outcomes in profound ways. It means we’re built to expertly execute projects from start to finish. That we have the talent and resources to take on any challenge. That projects are completed on time, on budget, and beyond expectations. And that we win awards— not just for our talent, but also for our ethics, employee culture, and growth. Today, our wheelhouse is broad, with four key service offerings: Buildings, Energy, Infrastructure, and Environmental. Our reach is widespread with staff located throughout the country and Europe. We’re headquartered in Rochester, NY—but our impact is seen, felt, and experienced around the world.
