The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District and the Metro Flood Diversion Authority, to include the city of Fargo, North Dakota; and the city of Moorhead, Minnesota, received the National Academy of Construction Special Achievement Award for the Fargo/Moorhead Metro Area Flood Diversion project Oct. 12, during a ceremony in Boston.
According to the NAC, the award highlights creativity, innovation, vision, and accomplishments of practitioners in the engineering, design and construction industries. From concept to construction, USACE and its partners consistently solved challenges on this complex project to include splitting work between the entities to allow simultaneous design and construction which expedites project completion by approximately 10 years when compared to traditional delivery methods. Additionally, as the first USACE project in the nation to leverage a public private partnership delivery model, the St. Paul District, the Cities of Fargo and Moorhead and the Metro Flood Diversion Authority are setting the example of how to deliver projects to the nation more efficiently in a resource-constrained environment. Dozens of consultants and construction firms have participated in the effort, showing the strength of the private commitment to the project.
