Reconstruction of Pale San Vitores Road, (Design-Build), Design Partner to the Construction Contractor

This project entails the design of the reconstruction of portions of Pale San Vitores Road, the main thoroughfare for Guam’s primary visitor industry district. Portions of the road were damaged by waterline failures and required extensive structure repairs. The work included design of relief drainage for the northeast end of Tumon. The existing drainage disposal facilities are undersized due to a lack of land area, and the relief drainage is required to mitigate flooding damage to low-lying properties.

Landfill Operations Road & Mass Grading (Cells 1 & 2), Guam, Project Construction Manager and Consultants to Construction Contractor – Phase I

We are the project management and technical consultants to the construction contractor for the construction of 38 stations of operations road for a landfill being constructed in southern Guam. Primary project technical specs are FP-03. The project includes the construction of two landfill cells 40’ deep with drainage improvements, and the perimeter road (21+stations). The project was made particularly challenging because the design incorporated the use of expansive soils as embankment. The work included Project Management, Value Engineering Analysis, schedule and time analysis, mathematical models for cost and time claims and coordination with the government-appointed CM and the client. The project is on-going – change orders for additional quantities and materials have been issued, and a time extension for an excessive rain days claim is under review. All work has been found to meet or exceed project specifications.

Tumon Bay Infrastructure & Beautification Project, Project Administration, Design Management and Construction Management

Construction management services for infrastructure and utilities restoration, including water and wastewater subsystems, construction of 4 miles of highway, 5 lanes wide with landscaping, curb, gutters, sidewalk, and utilities installation or relocation. The project was made especially challenging as it involved coordinating the work of numerous design consultants and regulatory agencies. Included public relations outreach, design reviews and interaction with user agencies, affected parties and regulatory agencies. Project budget was achieved. Contract modifications for changed scope or alternate materials were awarded in both Phases I and II of the reconstruction. Both phases were completed within the allotted time frame, and within budget, including approved modifications.
