   The July 1 that Bill Berzins, P.Eng., spent in Banff in 2001 is etched in the Earth Tech vice-president's memory. But unlike thousands of visitors enjoying a Canada Day getaway, Mr. Berzins was "deeply immersed" in something other than the typical mountain experience - he worked in the bowels of the picturesque town's wastewater treatment plant.
   ...
   As a result, says Mr. Berzins, the town is spared "detailed day-to-day management of the operation. Its role is to do the due diligence to confirm that we have met the performance criteria established by the owner."
   
   Earth Tech bears responsibility for most plant operational costs over the duration of the contract. That, Mr. Berzins notes, creates a powerful incentive for his firm to select the right equipment and design.
   ...

   ...
   Among these savings, Mr. Berzins notes, are those that stem from the elimination of "risk premiums" factored into traditional delivery methods.
