I was hired and assigned to the USACE Project to complete the $15,000,000 project. The project

water air conditioning system, state of the art fire alarm system, solar hot water system and a fire
sprinkler system including automated pumping systems.
Comayagua is in central Honduras with limited availability of construction material that would meet
government specifications. The majority of the installed electrical/mechanical systems were
imported from the United States and monitoring and expediting materials through the Honduran
ports/airports and customs required constant monitoring and personal intervention to minimize
delays. The work force consisted of workers that did not understand project specifications and I
spent a great deal of effort in instructing and mentoring the diverse work force to ensure that project
specifications were met. Subcontractors were from a number of different Central American
countries that required understanding of cultural differences and daily interface to minimize conflicts
