Richard A.

I am a Construction Project Manager and Contract Specialist with over a decade of hands-on field and project controls experience, including seven years serving as a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Horizontal Construction Engineer. I specialize in federal and commercial preconstruction, contract compliance, and risk mitigation for assets exceeding $10M. I partner with General Contractors, Developers, and Subcontractors to ensure strict FAR compliance, protect profit margins, and streamline operations from the initial bidding phase through final closeout. My preconstruction and contract expertise focuses on winning bids and protecting contractors during disputes. I specialize in dissecting DoD IDIQ RFPs, building strict Section L and M compliance matrices, and executing precise material takeoffs. For active or disputed projects, I build complete forensic litigation support packages, auditing cost variances and mapping timeline impact analyses so you are fully prepared for legal or financial review. As a certified USACE CQM-C and OSHA 30 professional, I also manage active project controls. I develop master Critical Path Method schedules, drive submittal logs, and coordinate RFIs to prevent costly schedule delays. I build and manage these workflows utilizing only the industry software I have mastered through direct experience, including Procore, Microsoft Projects, Bluebeam, Advanced Excel, AutoCAD, Revit, and federal databases like USACE RMS and eCMS. I am highly versatile, comfortable in high-stakes environments, and possess a proven track record of recovering struggling projects.
