What Anderson Perry & Associates does

Anderson Perry & Associates, Inc. is a privately held civil engineering and surveying firm founded in 1975 by Steve Anderson and Howard Perry in La Grande, Oregon. The firm provides 14 distinct professional service lines to municipalities, counties, special districts, and federal/state agencies across eastern and central Oregon and eastern Washington, including drinking water, wastewater, roads, bridges, site development, flood reduction, irrigation, water resources, surveying, GIS, environmental/permitting, funding assistance, construction engineering, and water rights services. AP positions itself as a full-service local alternative to engineering firms based in Portland and Boise, eliminating the need for rural public-sector clients to engage distant consultants.

The firm's technology stack centers on conventional civil engineering tooling: Esri ArcGIS Online (with AP holding an ArcGIS Online Specialty Designation as an Esri Partner Network member), CAD/GIS conversion, LiDAR mobile scanning, drone/UAV surveying compliant with FAA requirements, and hydraulic/sediment transport modeling software. AP has progressively built out service capabilities over five decades — adding materials testing by 1985, water resources and environmental services in 2005, cultural resources management with four archaeologists in 2014, and a dedicated GIS department in 2017. The firm employs nearly 100 staff across four offices (La Grande, Redmond, Hermiston, Enterprise in Oregon; Walla Walla in Washington) and has permitted/designed/constructed more than 175 bridges and completed over 100 funding applications in the past five years.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service professional engagements billed to government clients, with no public pricing disclosed and engagements structured as quote-based project contracts and ongoing engineer-of-record agreements. The firm maintains no app, no API product, no external institutional investment, and no parent company; it operates as an independent professional services corporation with four publicly listed engineering contacts (Lauren Magnaghi, Dane Maben P.E., Braiden Amata P.E., Mike Lees P.E.). Distribution is entirely direct sales through established relationships and public bidding, supported by a website (andersonperry.com), LinkedIn, and Facebook presence. Recognition includes ACEC Engineering Excellence Award and EPA / National League of Cities national recognition in 2019 for the City of Prineville constructed-wetlands wastewater project.

Direct peers

• Century West Engineering: Oregon-based civil engineering firm providing municipal water, wastewater, transportation, and surveying services to public agencies in Oregon and Washington. Directly comparable service mix, geography, and client base to Anderson Perry.
• J-U-B Engineers: Multi-office civil engineering firm headquartered in the Northwest serving municipal water, wastewater, transportation, and GIS clients across the Pacific Northwest and Mountain West. Closest comparable in scale, service breadth, and public-sector focus.
• David Evans and Associates (DEA): Pacific Northwest-headquartered engineering and surveying firm serving transportation, water, and land development clients. Comparable service lines (water, transportation, surveying, GIS) with similar municipal/government client mix, though larger scale.
• Otak: Portland-based civil engineering, planning, and architecture firm serving public agencies across the Pacific Northwest with water resources, transportation, and structural engineering services. Direct competitor for mid-sized municipal engineering RFPs.
• Parametrix: Pacific Northwest engineering, planning, and environmental sciences firm serving water, wastewater, transportation, and natural resources clients. Comparable service portfolio targeting municipalities and special districts.

Broad incumbents

• Kleinfelder: National engineering, scientific, and construction management firm with significant water and public-sector presence in the Pacific Northwest. Competes on larger water/wastewater and infrastructure programs but does not specialize in AP's rural niche.
• HDR Engineering: Global engineering firm with deep water, transportation, and environmental practices across the U.S. Increasingly competing for municipal water and infrastructure work in the Pacific Northwest, though as one of many service lines.
• Stantec: Global design and engineering firm with extensive water, environmental, and community development practices serving public agencies throughout North America. Competes for larger municipal engineering contracts in the region.

Regional players

• GeoEngineers: Pacific Northwest geotechnical and environmental engineering firm with offices in Oregon and Washington. Comparable regional focus and partial overlap on water resources, environmental, and infrastructure projects.

Emerging players

• Consolidated Engineers: Small Oregon-based civil engineering firm offering water, wastewater, and site development services to rural municipalities. Emerging competitor in AP's core rural eastern-Oregon market.
