Garrett County Airport – Garrett County, Maryland
The Garrett County Airport Runway Extension and Parallel Taxiway project consists of a 2,000 runway extension and a complete build of parallel Taxiway A.
Phase I of this project was the construction of the fill for the runway extension and taxiway. 600,000 cubic yards of material was moved in order to build the fill for the runway. Other work associated with this project was the relocation of the Airport Rotating Beacon and the relocation of the Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS).
Phase 2 of this project was the installation of a new runway and taxiway lighting system, installation of new PAPI’s (Precision Approach Path Indicators), New Terminal Building, Relocating the Fuel Distribution System and complete paving of the taxiways and runway.
United States Postal Services – Baltimore Maryland
I was the Construction Manager on four (4) new Postal facilities built in the Baltimore MD area. Responsibilities included the coordination of shop drawings, with the A/E and Contractor, Coordination of RFI’s, RFP’s, Change Orders, Payment Applications, Progress Meetings and submittals with the Owner’s Representative, the Contractor and The A/E Firms.
Each building is approximately 22,000 square feet in size with a retail section and an open work space for sorting stations.
Lorain County Regional Airport – Lorain , Ohio
This project was divided into two separate projects because of funding issues. The first project consisted of three major items of work. Major item 1 consisted of installing 78,000 cubic yards of fill material to create a new runway safety area at the ends of the runway. This was done to bring the safety areas up to new FAA standards. Major Item 2 consisted of installing a new Localizer antenna and building to house all of the electronic equipment for the localizer. The Localizer is the primary instrument landing system at the airport. Major item 3 was the installation of a new MALS/REIL system. MALS/REIL stands for Medium-intensity Approach Landing System with Runway End Indicator Lights.
The second project was the rehabilitation of the runway. Runway was ground to a new profile and then overlaid with 6†of asphalt. Asphalt was not allowed to be placed in lifts thicker than two (2) inches.
FEMA Assignment in New York City – World Trade Center Terrorist Attack of September 11, 2001 I worked on the Debris Removal operation for the World Trade Center. I was a Project Officer working with the Construction Management team that was performing the debris removal from one of the zones. (Initially, the area and amount of work was deemed to be to much for one contract so the area was divided into four sections or zones.) I reviewed all of the contractor’s force account labor, equipment, operating expenses and all other aspects of performing the debris removal. The contractor submits his costs to the owner along with his backup documentation and the owner then reviews the costs. I then review the costs to make sure that they are in compliance with FEMA regulations (The Robert T. Stafford Act) and that they are eligible for reimbursement under the Act. All work performed under a Federally Declared Disaster has to conform to this Act to be eligible for reimbursement from the Federal Government. .
FEMA Assignment in Puerto Rico and Florida. I was the Debris Coordinator for the clean-up efforts after Hurricane Georges (Puerto Rico) and Hurricane Irene (Florida). The assignment in Puerto Rico lasted almost 1 year and the assignment in Florida lasted 3 months. Because of my work during the recovery operations from Hurricane Georges, FEMA revised the Debris Program. I was asked to be part of the team to revise the program and assisted by proofreading the changes that were made and to see how these changes could be implemented into the program. That is how the Debris Management Teams came about. I also wrote the After Action Report for the Debris Removal operations in Puerto Rico. This paper was presented at a meeting that was held in Puerto Rico with the Infrastructure Division Director. Another part of the job was the review of the contracts that were being used for the debris removal operations. This was a review of the contract to make sure that the contract conformed to FEMA guidelines as set forth in the Robert T. Stafford Act and that reasonable costs were being charged for the debris removal operations. Contracts were not approved or disapproved, the applicant was informed if the contract was within the guidelines or not and if the contract was not within the guidelines, what action was required to correct the contract. Also performed audits of the applicant’s records and verified that the work that was done as per the contract specifications. Worked closely with the applicant to ensure that their record keeping system clearly identified the eligible costs associated with the debris removal operations.
Relief Sewer Projects in Erie Pennsylvania. I was the Resident Representative on 7 Sewer Projects for the City of Erie. Projects consist of installing new 36†Diameter Sanitary Sewer lines in the city and modifications to the lines at the headwork of the Waste Water Treatment Plant. The depths of the new lines varied from 15 feet to over 30 feet. Duties included attending all meetings with the contractors; scheduling the testing of the concrete work, backfilling operations and asphalt work; supervising other inspectors in their day to day operations; preparing estimates for the work performed; monthly progress reports to the owner; and taking care of the general files for all of the contracts. The United States Army Corps of Engineers monitored this project. They came to the project and reviewed all records and performed safety inspections of the work in progress

Ohio Turnpike Commission, Gate 15 Toll Plaza Renovation. Inspector for the building responsible for the inspection of the Staff Building and the utility and communication lines to the toll booth facilities. The office building was a 3,500 square foot building and 11 tollbooths of about 250 square feet each. The project was made more complex by the specifications that stated each tollbooth would be an independent unit. By that, each tollbooth will have its own power source, communications, heating and ventilating system. All wiring to the tollbooths had to be underground with spare conduits for future electronic equipment to be installed under another contract. The existing toll plaza had to remain in operation during the building of the new facilities. (The company listed me as an I was the only person on the site that had any experience with buildings.)

I worked closely with the State of Ohio Project Engineer keeping him informed of the daily operations that were being performed. (Most of his time was spent in meetings with the state engineers.)
