PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Munitions Storage Area, U.S. Department of Air Force, Andrews AFB, MD. (Project Executive, 2012-2014).
This is a new munitions storage facility. The contract is valued at $22.5 million and involves total site development
of 31 acres of forest to construct 21 individual structures. Of the 21 structures, 16 are storage facilities for
munitions, one is an administrative building and four are maintenance and support buildings. The storage facilities
are designed for security and blast protection purposes. New MEP and fire/life safety systems were installed to
support the complex. Ron is responsible for project oversight and delivery of the project on-schedule and within
budget.
Eisenhower Executive Office Building Modernization, Phase III
U.S. General Services Administration | Washington, DC | 2010 - 2014
Grunley was the design/build contractor for the modernization of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB),
a National Historic Landmark. The building provides office space for approximately 1,500 Federal workers including
the Administrative Offices of the President and Vice President. Phase III involved the renovation of the Pennsylvania
Avenue Wing and is valued at $212 million. Grunley modernized 213,000 square feet and incorporated security
enhancements to match those included in the initial phases of the project. We performed complete tenant fit-out,
MEP upgrades, window replacements and fire life/safety upgrades. The project was designed to obtain LEED Silver
certification. This project was completed while the building remained occupied and fully operational.
Role and Responsibilities: During the EEOB Phase III project, the owner opted to include $80 million in additional
work that was originally slated for a later renovation. The additional work was added to the as change orders.
Ron worked closely with the A/E, Design Manager and Owner to develop pricing and design alternatives. This
process required multiple design and constructability reviews as well as approval by the Owner and tenants.
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Building 8 Madison Dormitory, Quantico, VA. (Project Executive,
05/2013-2015; Senior Project Manager, 05/2012-04/2013). This is a $20 million renovation of the existing 83,000 SF
Madison dorm under a design-build contract. The seven-story dormitory is located on the FBI National Academy
campus. After the building is abated, the interior will be gutted and fit-out. The building will receive a new energy
efficient mechanical system, fire and life safety upgrades, new switchgear, new windows and a total roof replacement.
During preconstruction, Ron assisted with project design reviews, CPM schedule development, cost model
estimating, value engineering, and constructability reviews. During construction, Ron ensures that the project is
constructed to the specified quality requirements, within the project budget and in compliance with the project
schedule. Ron serves as the primary point of contact for the client.
3. National Audio Visual Conservation Center
Packard Foundation | Culpeper, VA | 11/2001 – 01/20032010
This $120 million project involved a multi-phased renovation that converted a vacant old treasury building into a
film storage facility. The existing facility was underground. DPR abated the existing waterproofing, re-
waterproofed it and covered it up again. Then, DPR constructed 120 each 6’ x 8’ blast proof containment pods.
The temperature of the facility is maintained at 55 degrees and 35% humidity to store the film properly.
U.S. Secret Service Field Office
U.S. Secret Service | Baltimore, MD | 05/2002 – 12/2003

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Headquarters
Democratic National Committee | Washington, DC |1/2004 – 1/2006
This $7 million project involved 60,000 SF of new construction and interior and exterior renovations. The existing
3 floor building was vacated, gutted and rebuilt. New footings were installed within the existing structure to
support new structural steel that supported new openings cut into the floors. A new media center was built. The
DNC had also purchased the top two floors of the adjacent building (Democratic National Club), the lower floor of
which was a restaurant and remained in service during construction. A new 3 floor structural connector was
constructed between the two buildings, and gutted and rebuilt the two floors above the restaurant while it
remained in operation. The connector had to be supported by caissons in a very tight area only 15’ from the
railroad tracks. Due to the angle of repose and restrictions with regard to the track, the team had to redesign and
make use of caisson supported grade beams. In addition, the switchgear that supplied the restaurant was
housed on the second floor of a small portion of the building. This was demolished to provide the new connector.
Role and Responsibilities: This CM at Risk contract was accepted with the knowledge that the contractor had to
develop a method for supporting the walls of the building during structural reinforcement while the ground floor
restaurant and offices remained open and fully operational. Ron performed the roles of both Project Executive
and Project Manager. During the execution of the project, he helped to redesign the structural reinforcements for
the building as well as footings required to reinforce caissons supporting an 80’ connector between buildings that
was constructed within 15’ of a railroad track with overhead powerlines. Ron was instrumental in directing the
project and ensuring that it was completed as scheduled despite the challenging pre-existing conditions.

outpatient care center completed within seven-months. The one-story building includes 30 exam rooms, three
minor procedure rooms and support areas, skilled lab rooms, radiology, mammography, ultrasound areas and a
full-service pharmacy. This project utilized the Green Guide for Health Care to incorporate extensive green
features and approaches. Thermoplastic Olefin, a highly reflective material that maximizes thermal efficiency in
the building, was used for the roofing. BIM was used for coordination of the large amount of self-performed
concrete work, totaling 32,000 SF, and for the extensive under slab plumbing work.
U.S. Pharmacopeia World Headquarters
U.S. Pharmacopeia | Rockville, MD | 6/2005 – 10/2008
This $68 million project involved the renovations to 35,000 SF of existing space, and 325,000 SF of new
construction at the world headquarters building. The facility includes 175,000 SF of lab space. In addition to
individual 50 person conference rooms, DPR built a 175 seat conference center. This project won 12 awards
overall from the Washington Building Congress, Associated Builders & Contractors, the American Institute of
Architect, Associated General Contractors of America, and McGraw-Hill.
Roles and Responsibilities: The critical schedule for this project required significant intervention when extensive
issues with the Owner’s permits arose at the 50% CD phase. Ron worked with Owner to get early packages
approved for earthwork and concrete and to obtain a valid base building permit to allow construction to begin
before the final GMP was performed. His efforts saved 4 months on the overall schedule, which was significant to
the Owner who had personnel installed in other leased buildings. The 4 months savings in scheduled saved the
5. Owner over $2,200,000 in lease extension fees. He was also instrumental in proposing value engineering
suggestions that resulted in $7,000,000 in additional savings.
National Institute of Health Building 10
Boston Properties | Bethesda, MD | 05/2007 – 08/2008
This $500 million project involved an addition to office and laboratory space on the NIH campus. The new addition
was connected to an existing, occupied building on 1-1/2 sides. Approximately 60% of the new space was lab
space. The challenge was tying-in to the existing building where any vibrations from construction operations had
to be coordinated with the doctors performing MRIs and X-rays. This project is LEED® Certified.
Role and Responsibilities: As Project Executive, Ron was the Owner’s principal-point-of-contact and had overall
authority and responsibility for the contract. He interacted with the Owner, project team and staff for general
