| Profile Mr. Frost has 41 years in the consulting engineering business with an emphasis on engineering, construction, and inspection QA/QC. He started his career as a construction engineer inspector conducting materials testing and inspection of soils, concrete, asphalt, structural steel, and other building materials. His professional career as a civil engineer allowed him to gain expertise in geotechnical engineering including shallow and deep foundation design, various retaining wall designs, landslide and slope failure remediation, concrete and asphalt pavement design, and various ground improvement techniques. He has used his technical design experience combined with his construction quality control and quality assurance expertise to resolve thousands of construction deficiencies. The root cause for many of these deficiencies involved improper construction techniques that failed to meet project plans and specifications. His construction knowledge combined with progressive managerial and leadership experience in a variety of engineering design and construction projects has given him the ability to investigate and resolve problems in both engineering and construction. Mr. Frost had responsibility for managing professional teams consisting of engineers, architects, inspectors, technicians, trade craft, and other highly skilled workers. Mr. Frost has led multiple large consulting contracts with fees more than $750 million dollars. Construction values for several of these contracts exceeded a billion dollars. Mr. Frost is credited with providing innovative solutions using technology to drive increased productivity and improved quality, while reducing costs. He is an accomplished seasoned professional leader and manager with a diverse experience profile. Highlights include: • Construction & Civil Engineering project experience in planning, design, cost analysis, operations, execution, and quality assurance - quality control for geotechnical, structural, environmental, inspection, and construction engineering projects. His experience has been achieved through a wide variety of projects involving both new construction and renovation construction projects. These include highways, bridges, tunnels, utilities, single to multistory buildings, warehouse structures, airfields, industrial and manufacturing plants, power and communications centers, tanks, towers, dams, and nuclear power plants, and tunnels. • Principal-In-Charge or Project Manager on Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build projects involving pre-planning, design, procurement, inspection, testing, demolition, earthwork, erection, layout, surveying, cast in place concrete, pre-stressed concrete, structural steel, and various pile systems.
