Summary

Scott Roden of Civil Science said his Dickinson office would handle surveying, design and materials testing for the Buffalo Gap Road project and recommended early coordination with the Forest Service to avoid permitting delays.

Scott Roden introduced himself as the project manager for Civil Science and described the firm’s local capacity to support the Buffalo Gap Road design. "In our Dickinson office, we'd be able to get all the surveying... all the design and materials testing we get into this construction will all come out of the Dickinson office," Roden said, emphasizing the firm would not rely on distant offices for core tasks.

Roden reviewed the firm’s history on regional transportation projects and said Civil Science has handled gravel-surfaced road grading and pavement projects across western North Dakota. He told the board the company already pulled state LIDAR to create preliminary alignments and could advance to roughly 30% design without initial ground survey work. Roden framed early Forest Service discussions as essential: "permitting definitely draws that time frame in."
