5 HEAVY CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE: Colorado Springs, CO ( ): As City Engineer, responsible for approximately $50 Million annually in capital construction, maintenance and operations for the City s transportation and stormwater infrastructure systems. Principle transportation programs were funded by the Pikes Peak Region Transportation Authority (PPRTA). Major PPRTA capital projects included: Woodmen Academy Boulevard Interchange. $66 Million urban interchange at the City s busiest intersection. Included NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) process and partial ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) funding, necessitating intensive FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) and CDOT (Colorado Department of Transportation) oversight. Design firm URS. Construction contractor Edward Kraemer & Sons. Completion in Austin Bluffs Union Boulevard Interchange. $36 Million Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) along one of five strategic eastwest corridors.

6 HEAVY CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE (continued): COSMIX. Also during my tenure as City Engineer occurred one of the largest construction projects in Colorado Springs history COSMIX (Colorado Springs Metro Interstate Expansion). This was to Colorado Springs what T- REX was to Denver. The $150 Million COSMIX Project was managed by Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) but had significant impacts on the City and required extensive coordination and management by myself and my staff. This project widened I-25 through downtown Colorado Springs, replaced or constructed 12 bridges, impacted Monument Creek and Fountain Creek (the City s primary streams and watersheds), and required huge railroad coordination issues. The construction phase of COSMIX lasted nearly three years, and impacted traffic, people and other projects in many ways. My roles included serving on the executive partnering team with the design-build contractor and CDOT representatives. Stormwater Projects. Colorado Springs has serious problems with its stormwater drainage systems. I helped to implement a stormwater utility fee that commenced in 2007 to fund much needed improvements to the City s streams, watersheds and drainage systems. Major Stormwater Projects accomplished during my tenure included: Fountain Creek channel restoration adjacent to the Gold Hill Mesa development project and State Highway 24W. Fountain Creek channel improvements downstream from the confluence with Monument Creek. Cottonwood Creek channel stabilization and improvements from Monument Creek to Academy Boulevard, and from Union Boulevard to Rangewood Drive. Sand Creek channel stabilization and improvements, from Platte Avenue to Constitution Avenue, and from Academy Boulevard to Platte Avenue. Fountain Chelton Road drainage improvements and outfall project. South Douglas Creek restoration upstream of Centennial Boulevard. Templeton Gap Floodway restoration and improvements, from Union Boulevard to Austin Bluffs Parkway. Rustic Hills Drainage channel improvements. West Fork of Sand Creek channel improvements. Numerous emergency drainage repair projects. The Stormwater Fee also funded important maintenance and environmental programs associated with the City s streams and drainage systems. My work in the Stormwater arena also supported the formation of the Fountain Creek Watershed, Greenway and Flood Control District, which is modeled after the Urban Drainage District in Denver. Unfortunately for Colorado Springs, the Stormwater Fee was ended in 2010 for political reasons, thus reducing the City s stormwater programs to a bare minimum level as funding is made available from the General Fund.

7 HEAVY CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE (continued): Fort Collins, CO ( ): As City Engineer, responsible for approximately $15 Million annually for transportation capital projects, maintenance and operations. Primary programs included Capital Projects, Street Oversizing, and Pavement Management. Major heavy construction projects during my tenure included: Mason Street Corridor, Phase 1 design and construction of the bikeway from Harmony Road to Prospect Road. Timberline Road Extension from Prospect Road to Mulberry Street, including the bridge over the Poudre River. North College Avenue and Riverside Avenue Improvements. West Elizabeth Street (Campus West) Improvements. Prospect Road Widening and Improvements, from Timberline Road to I- 25. Mulberry Lemay Avenue Intersection Upgrade, in conjunction with CDOT and the Wal-Mart development. Timberline Harmony Road Intersection Improvements. Taft Hill Road Widening from Drake Road to Harmony Road. Liaison with Bureau of Reclamation on Horsetooth Dam and Reservoir improvements. Peachtree City, GA ( ): As City Engineer, responsible for capital projects, development regulation and support, floodplain administration, traffic engineering, support to the Public Works and Planning Departments, utilities coordination, and other duties as assigned. Major heavy construction projects during my tenure included: Design and construction of the City s Fieldhouse and Aquatics Center. Design and construction of the Baseball and Soccer Complex, comprising 86 acres with 6 soccer fields, 8 baseball fields and support facilities. Design and construction of a 10,000 square foot expansion to the Library, doubling the size of the existing facility. Peachtree City s hallmark is its 90-mile network of multi-use paths for pedestrians, cyclists, and golf carts. Reconstruction of the multi-use trail bridge over State Highway 54 near City Hall was an important and high visibility project for the City. Another was the design and construction of a multi-use trail along Hip Pocket Road and the west side of Lake Peachtree. Intersection improvements and signalization of Huddleston State Highway 54, and Kelley State Highway 74. In 1994, Hurricane Alberto produced major flooding and associated damages throughout the Atlanta region. In Peachtree City, we had 3 bridges washed out which required replacement on an emergency basis. I managed those projects along with the associated claims for FEMA reimbursement. Page 7 of 12

8 HEAVY CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE (continued): Army Career ( ): Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The most significant heavy construction experience of my professional career was the assignment to Mobile (Alabama) District of the US Army Corps of Engineers from During this time, I was a project engineer, assistant office engineer, and construction inspector for lock-and-dam construction on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in Northeast Mississippi. Of the 10 locks and dams on this multibillion dollar project, I worked on 3: Locks C, D, and E. All involved day and night construction operations, on-site concrete batch plants for mass concrete production, huge earthmoving operations for canal and levee construction, and construction of support facilities (roads, bridges, labs, offices, etc.) for the remote locations. Construction Engineering. The first 3 years of my Army career ( ) were spent with the 46 th Engineer Battalion (Construction) at Fort Rucker, Alabama. I started as the Earthmoving Platoon Leader, where I learned handson about heavy construction equipment capabilities and the logistics associated with heavy equipment. We built and maintained roads, airfields, and similar horizontal construction projects in support of the Army s Aviation Center. I later graduated to Company Operations Officer and finally to Battalion Construction Officer, where I handled design and vertical construction techniques necessary to support soldiers during combat operations. I was also involved in Civic Action projects, building ball fields and recreation facilities in local communities around Fort Rucker. Heavy Equipment. As Company Commander of the 568 th Engineer Company (Combat Support Equipment) in West Germany, , my mission was to provide heavy construction equipment to support combat training throughout the Fifth US Army Corps. The 568th maintained firing ranges and training areas in order to prepare for mobility and counter-mobility missions in case of war. This again provided me with a great deal of experience in moving, maintaining and employing heavy construction equipment. Public Works. The last assignment of my Army career was as Public Works Director for Forts McPherson and Gillem in Atlanta, Georgia, from This position took me to higher levels of management and administration, and I became experienced in all aspects of infrastructure management for two Army posts which functioned like small cities. Projects included sustainment of roads, utilities, housing areas, and office buildings, and especially support for two major headquarters (FORSCOM and 3 rd Army). This experience became an excellent transition to my civilian, municipal engineering career that followed. Page 8 of 12

9 Pre-CSU TEACHING EXPERIENCE: Instructor/Trainer US Army Engineer School: Upon completion of my Master s Degree in Civil Engineering from CSU in 1985, I spent the next three years at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, at that time the home of the Army s Engineer School for officer training. Most of that time was spent in three assignments related to teaching: Instructor Primarily classroom instruction, with some field training exercises and terrain walks, teaching newly commissioned Lieutenants a variety of subjects including construction, combat engineering, and small unit tactics. Commander, EOBC Training Detachment The EOBC (Engineer Officer Basic Course) is the first Engineer Branch training for newly commissioned Lieutenants. As Commander of the EOBC Training Detachment, I was responsible for all of the non-classroom training for Lieutenants. We had 3 companies (approximately 100 students each) with staggered schedules. We conducted physical fitness training, field training exercises, and other training designed to prepare young officers for service in Army Engineer units. Leader of the Lieutenants Training Team Organized, led and managed a special ad hoc group which designed the curriculum and program of instruction for the then future EOBC (Engineer Officer Basic Course) in preparation for the impending relocation of the Army Engineer School to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. This was seen as an opportunity to improve Lieutenants training in the more field-oriented environment at Fort Leonard Wood. It was also a consolidation of Engineer officer and enlisted training at the same locale. Guest Speaker CSU Infrastructure Class: While City Engineer in Fort Collins ( ), I was occasionally invited to speak to the Civil Engineering students taking the Infrastructure Management Class (now CIVE 578). This provided me an opportunity to organize and present real-world examples and lessons on construction management, municipal engineering challenges, and infrastructure asset management. Presentations: With two careers in public service, I have made numerous presentations in public arenas. Whether to General Officers in the military or Mayors and City Councils in municipal government, I have extensive experience preparing and presenting a variety of topics to both friendly and hostile audiences. A few recent examples are described under PUBLICATIONS & PRESENTATIONS, following. Page 9 of 12
