Rockingham County is located in the center of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Nestled

along the Interstate 81 corridor and only a two-hour drive to Washington, DC. Rockingham County is the
third largest county in Virginia and encompasses the Harrisonburg-Rockingham metropolitan area.
The Rockingham County Public Works Department manages 2 water treatment plants, a wastewater
treatment plant, a solid waste landfill, water and sanitary sewer piping and pumping systems that serve
the community. The County requires engineering services for all of these areas. At the landfill, VDEQ
permitting, groundwater monitoring, landfill gas system management, and overall general engineering
services are required. As the County expands, Public Works, Community Development, and Engineering
Departments are becoming involved in transportation and land development projects that require civil
engineering services.

Initial engineering services to be provided include the following:
Development of final design, permitting, contract administration and on-site construction
observation services of projects from bidding through completion.
Consulting and reporting to Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), VDEQ, and Virginia
Department of Health (VDH) as well as other governmental agencies will be required.
Expertise in groundwater monitoring and landfill gas management is a part of the landfill services.
Expertise in sanitary sewer pump station design, pump sizing and system analysis, water system
modeling, tank, waterline and water pump station troubleshooting and analysis, to assist staff in
the maintenance and operation of the water/sewer system.
