June 2003 through June 2005 As a construction inspector, I was responsible for inspecting routine construction items for conformance to plans, specifications, special provisions, and terms of the contract. I assisted in measurements, computations, and other work in preparing final plans and contractor payment estimates. I also assisted in maintaining required construction documentation such as daily field diaries, doc. records, and sitemanager entries. I assisted in surveying for several different projects. An example of one the projects I worked on is Rte 45 & 59. This project consisted of adding a turning lane to the existing intersection, removing the existing islands, and installing new islands. I was on this project from beginning to end. I was working with one other inspector. I helped with all aspects of inspection. This involved reading the plans and surveying in the new turning lane, laying out the new islands, inspecting the asphalt as it was laid, laying out the striping, filling out daily diaries, measuring seed and mulch, and assuring all materials used were approved for state use. Other jobs I assisted on were: Rte E: We removed an existing bridge and constructed a new one beside the old location and straightened out the sections of roadway leading up to the bridge on both sides. I assisted along with several other inspectors on the project for some of the surveying, I also was present for most of the pile driving to check that bearing was achieved. I helped run concrete tests for some of the pours. Rte 59: Removed the existing 1.5 miles of road and 2 small bridges, then realigned the road and paved it with concrete. For this project I was present for the final grading work and paving. I assisted two other inspectors in checking final grade before paving, I assisted in running all tests for paving, air, slump, and depth sticks. After paving, I assisted in profilographing. Rte K: Removed and replaced 2 bridges. I assisted with surveying on this project and helped run concrete tests during the deck pour. In between working on all the above projects I assisted at the asphalt plant for various projects. This involved running gradations, nuclear asphalt content, obtaining oil samples, filling out a daily diary, checking totalizers, checking binder usage, and filling out an excel spreadsheet which is imported into MoDOTs sitemanager system. While I was a Construction Inspector, I cross trained in Traffic as a Traffic Studies Specialist. MoDOT lets their engineers cross train in other departments so they have a better understanding about how the department operates as a whole. During my time in Traffic I was assigned to address many customer concerns. Each concern had to be responded to and investigated. Some of the concerns were: Speed Limits too High or too Low Need a Deer Crossing Sign at a certain location Intersection Too Dangerous, what can you do.
- 4. With each of these concerns, I would investigate the location, look up historical data, have traffic counts preformed if necessary, and do any computations needed. Once I had all the information I would make a decision as to whether any action needed to be taken and take any such action. For example, in the case of a dangerous intersection I had a warning light installed on top of the stop sign. Another role in traffic was to assist in fixing the timing of the intersections. I helped with aiming the cameras and determining if the signal was working properly. I was also involved in signing. I checked designs plans for construction signing. I assisted in doing sign logging, which is checking which signs need to be replaced. I also was in charge of park signing while I was in traffic. One of these projects was to lay out the signs for the Louis and Clark trail. Intermediate Construction Inspector, Missouri Department of Transportation June 2005 through June 2006 As an intermediate construction inspector I was responsible for inspecting routine and specialty construction items for conformance to plans, specifications, special provisions, and terms of the contract and directed inspection and surveying of routine projects. I assisted in inspecting right- of-way permit jobs and county bridges. I directed survey operations, prepared final plans, change orders, contractor payment estimates, semi-finals, and final inspections. I was in charge of inspecting superpave asphalt plants for various jobs and created all the required documentation and daily field diaries. I was the lead inspector for I-229: A mill and fill for 1.5 miles and a nova chip overlay for 1 mile. I inspected all aspects of these projects, filled out daily diaries, made necessary field adjustments, directed others in inspection duties. Nova chip had not been done previously in this district, so I attended training and learned how to inspect this item of work. I assisted on various projects. A large project I assisted on was Rte 116 removing and replacing two old bridges and raising the road bed by 10 ft. I assisted in surveying and was in charge of surveying at times for the grading work and the bridge. I had to make field changes to some of the grading work, as the photogramitry did not match field conditions. I assisted in running slump and air tests on concrete, entering daily diaries, measuring seed and mulch, and in inspecting bridge construction. Our district bought a new GPS system. I went to all the training offered and learned to use the equipment. I wrote a quick reference sheet for others to use and have assisted in training others to used the equipment. Senior Construction Inspector, Missouri Department of Transportation June 2006 through May 2013 As a senior construction inspector I am directing the inspection, layout, and final plans preparation for construction projects; performing layout and inspection of complicated or critical structures and providing general assistance to resident engineer. I review the plans, specifications, and special provisions applicable to the project. I supervise the other inspectors on my projects and direct their activities in preparing the required project documentation; all survey activities and necessary inspection duties. Maintaining required records, addressing customer concerns, running pay estimates and making necessary field adjustment to a project are all part of my responsibilities. During 2013 I was involved in helping draft and review the new contract specifications for Quality Management. I reviewed the submittals turned in by the contractors to show how they were going to fulfill the new contract requirements of Quality Management. Quality Management is a method MoDOT is trying to place more of the quality assurance and inspection responsibility on the contractor. I was also working on a project with 7 re-decks in Kansas City. This project did not conclude before I moved to Virginia. During 2012 I was project manager on an overlay on I-29 which included mud jacking bridge decks. I reviewed all the office final plans prior to leaving the office and worked with the District Final Plans reviewer. I also was involved in inspecting county bridges on the 2 year rotation for safety inspection utilizing my NHI training. During 2011, I was project manager on a bridge superstructure replacement project and 2 KTU full bridge replacement projects. The KTU bridges were single spans with a concrete deck. The bridge superstructure was on Rte F and involved removing the existing superstructure from the top of the caps op. New steel girders were installed and a new concrete deck placed. I was project manager on 10 bridge re-decks during 2010 and one bridge removal and full replacement. The bridge removal and replacement was
- 5. located on Rte U and was a KTU project. The bridge is a box girder bridge held together with post tensioned cables and overlaid with asphalt. This bridge did not open until Decemeber 23, 2010 so cold weather was a factor for placement of the grout and all the concrete. One of the projects was a combination contract with 3 re-decks, 2 on Rte MM and 1 on Rte AA. The bridges are steel girder with existing shear studs. Two bridges were on Rte 33. These bridges did not have existing shear studs. The contractor installed shear studs. Another contract I was Project Manager for included Rte 116, Rte A and Rte N which accounted for another 3 bridges. The other contract I worked on was re-decks on Rte 136 and Rte 13. The Rte 13 bridge is over I-35. The bridge is designed on a vertical curve with a scew. The pour sequence of this bridge required 2 separate pours. For 8 of the bridge re-decks I was responsible for checking and verifying the haunches were figured correctly. For Rtes 13 and 136 I was responsible for figuring the haunches. I have developed a spreadsheet to calculate the haunching. The project I worked on during the 2009 construction season was 3 bridge re-decks on one contract. The contractor had 50 calendar days per bridge and worked on them one at a time. The re-decks involved removing the old deck, placing shear connectors, widening the bridge deck, pouring barrier, and adding guardrail. I also assisted on another contract with 2 re-decks involving replacing the girders. In addition, when Im not needed on one of the bridges I assisted on a large un-bonded concrete overlay on I-35. The project I worked on during the summer of 2008 was on Rte 69. This project involved concrete repair, base widening of 3 feet on both sides and a two-lift overlay for 6.8 miles. While on this project I worked on training a new hire graduate the duties of an inspector in the field and in the office. Rte AC was a project I worked on from October 2006 until May 2008. I had two technicians working with me. Rte AC is 1.5 mile of new road with a 486 ft bridge. I was actively involved in moving utilities for this project as none had been moved before it started. I developed a working relationship with all of the utilities in the area. Our utilities engineer went on maternity leave and then took a new position, thus I was very involved in contacting the utility companies to get the necessary adjustment made. On this project I had two technicians assisting in running the compaction testing, monitoring pore pressure devices and settlement gauges, running slump and air tests on concrete, entering project documentation and in measuring for erosion control. I monitored and gave guidance to their activities. I used the GPS equipment for surveying all grading operations. I was the survey leader on this project, I ran the instrument, while the others assisted by being rodmen. Signals were placed at the AC and Pickett intersection. I had to make decisions regarding the locations of control boxes and signal basins interfering with utilities and drainage structures. There were several issues which required considerable discussion and thought to be dealt with. This job was a test for Pile Dynamic Testing. I worked with the RE (Scotty Williams), Jeff City (Tom Fennessey), and the contractor to develop driving criteria we were comfortable with. The results from the testing proved difficult to interpret due to wide variations, thus in depth discussions were necessary to come to conclusions as to what the actual driving criteria should be. Another major issue on this job was the amount of water at the North end. Underdrains had been designed, but as we began the dirt work it became obvious that the soil would not stabilize with the amount of water present. The solution worked out was to install drains on a V, which consisted of an 8 perforated pipe backfilled with 3 clean rock surrounded by geotextile fabric. This work was done by force account due to the fact that neither the contractor nor MoDOT could predict the difficulty of installing the drains. Throughout the project I worked with the RE and the contractor to resolve issues that arose. Other jobs I have worked on are Rte H (widening) and Rte A (removal of bridge). For these two projects, I gave guidance and training to the inspectors in charge of the projects and provided technical assistance. I have been actively involved in training others to run superpave asphalt plants. I taught the superpave portion of an in district training and did hands on training with several individuals. I ran the asphalt plant for an experimental superpave mix using rubber. I was in constant contact with our central office trying to work out problems which arose during production. I cross trained as a materials inspector for one month. During this period of time I assisted in PAL inspections, general material inspections, and calibrations of asphalt and concrete plants. Senior Construction Inspector A. Morton Thomas and Associates May 2013 through May 2015 Assisted on various projects as needed when started with AMT as a fill in inspector.
