Summary [pic]
Seasoned construction professional/ manager with decades of experience in
civil infrastructure, heavy industrial, and commercial projects. Thorough
knowledge of construction methods and practices, contract management, and
budgeting/ cost accounting.
Major Accomplishment
[pic]
Managed a hand-assembled, specialized team of contractors, engineers, and
consultants completing the rehab of aging civil infrastructure on 400 acres
of the former Mather AFB. Wrote the contract Scopes of Work, much of which
was unusual or innovative (for example, sidewalk, curb and gutter was
placed with a modified slip form machine to eliminate the expense of hand-
forming along existing roads).
This $100M+ project was successfully completed in ten phases. I negotiated
modifications in the local jurisdiction's specifications to cut costs and
speed schedules while still delivering high-quality work.
Other Projects[pic]
Retail Stores: Contract management and the direct construction oversight of
oil-change stores, including both site work and vertical construction.
Oil Processing Modules: These were refineries built in the lower 48 for
transport on barges to the North Slope. I served variously as an estimator,
becoming a Lead Concrete Estimator; Structural Field Engineer; and Cost
Engineer.
Other Industrial: Field Engineer for mechanical facility improvements at a
soup manufacturing plant and a bread factory. Contract management for the
construction of a sewer lift station, including keeping submittal logs.
Municipal/ Other Government: I was an inspector on two municipal capital
improvements projects, a major trunk sewer main extension and a storm/
sewer separation project; an inspector on Michigan DOT highway projects;
and a Senior Inspector for Sacramento County, California. As a Project
Engineer, I handled EIRs and other preconstruction phase responsibilities
for State of California prison construction.
Numerous New Residential Subdivisions: Direct contract and construction
management of up to eight projects simultaneously, each with an average
total contract value of $500K.
Promoted to Department Director, with these comments by a VP- "Donna
demonstrated excellent managerial and decision-making skills, as well as an
ability to work under pressure."
