EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE

POLICY AND PROCEDURE DEVELOPMENT.

Worked on development of policy and procedure for TxDOT’s Environmental Affairs Division (ENV) in a sole capacity (September 2006 to present) and as a major component of other TxDOT job descriptions (April 1997 to August 2006). Duties ran the gamut from:

o Analysis of legislation and regulations; to o Development of programs and procedures with division- and agency-wide scope; to o Development of politically sensitive materials for internal and external distribution; too Development of a major contracting program.

Specific areas of policy and procedure development include:

Environmental Management System (January 2009—Present): Member of core group to develop plan for statewide implementation of a program required by a 2007 Environmental Protection Agency Consent Agreement and Final Order regarding environmental compliance during construction. Plan includes policies, programs, and procedures spanning project development and construction. In addition, serve as member of core group to develop comprehensive environmental management system for compliance with all environmental requirements during project development, construction, operations, and maintenance for construction projects, and for nonconstruction activities. Activities include adapting TxDOT’s environmental program to project management and development requirements needed to incorporate environmental planning and compliance into the Primavera v.6 project management system and into an emerging structure for resource sharing among TxDOT Districts and Regional Service Centers.

SOP Development for Environmental Functions of Regional Service Centers (September 2009—Present): Member of core group to develop standard operating procedures and service level agreements to implement resource-management functions of newly created Regional Service Centers. SOPs will establish processes by which District project managers identify and schedule resources in Primavera v.6, and by which Regional Service Centers find and obtain binding commitments from other districts and divisions. The combination of the Regional Centers, P6 requirements for targeting/scheduling named resources, and the reorganization of Environmental Affairs Division will fundamentally alter TxDOT operations.

Data Coordination for TxDOT’s Program for Implementing the American Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Act (January 2009—Present): Participated in a multi-division team in preparing, collecting, and maintaining project data needed to identify projects that qualify for funding under the ARRA.

o As data needs became known, developed a data management structure for tracking completion of project milestones needed to issue contracts under ARRA funding;

o Coordinated data collection from 25 TxDOT districts and 5 TxDOT Divisions;o Verified eligibility of projects for ARRA funding, and coordinated confirmation of eligibility

by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA);o Developed report formats to accommodate rapidly evolving program needs and

FHWA/Congressional reporting requirements;o Provided daily to weekly reports to ARRA program leadership.

ENV Liaison to the Steering Committee for TxDOT’s Comprehensive Development Agreement Program (2004-Present): The Steering Committee directs TxDOT’s program for financing, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining major highway facilities under long-term comprehensive development agreements in public-private partnerships. Examples of CDAs

5

include the former Trans-Texas Corridor-35; Trans-Texas Corridor-69; SH 130, SH 45, and US 183A in central Texas; and the SH 121, IH 635, North Tarrant Expressway, DFW Connector projects in the DFW metroplex area. The Steering Committee consists of TxDOT’s Executive Director, Chief Financial Officer, Assistant Executive Director for Innovative Project Development, and Director of the Texas Turnpike Authority Division. Activities included:

o Participation in Steering Committee meetings and agenda planning meetings;o Development of standard and project-specific contract provisions for CDAs for

concessions and design-build projects;o Member of proposal evaluation teams for the Trans-Texas Corridor-35 strategic

development CDA and the IH 635 managed lane project;o Participation in negotiation of environmental compliance provisions of the CDA with

Cintra-Zachry LLC for Segments 5 and 6 of the SH 130 project;o Participation in post-award project board trouble-shooting meetings for Segments 5 and

6 of the SH 130 project;o Development of policy and procedure for managing environmental compliance related to

design-build projects generally, and concession projects specifically;o Program design and coordination of development of standards for deliverables and

compliance action plan to streamline environmental compliance on Segments 5 and 6 of the SH 130 project.

Principal Developer of QA/QC Program for SAFETEA-LU Section 6005 NEPA Delegation (late 2005 – May 2007): Section 6005 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) of 2005 established a pilot program for delegating FHWA’s responsibility for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Texas was one of five states named to participate. Section 6005 required participating states to implement a QA/QC program to monitor and evaluate compliance with NEPA and other environmental laws. Activities included developing:

o Performance measures and procedures for evaluating compliance;o Data base structure for collecting standardized data;o Analytical tools for identifying random and nonrandom deviation from 100% compliance;

ando Presentations to explain the system to the ENV Division Director and TxDOT

Administration.

Co-developer Programmatic Categorical Exclusion Decentralization Program (January 2007 July 2008): An agreement with the FHWA defines a programmatic categorical exclusion (PCE) as one of three classes of projects that are categorically excluded from the requirement to develop an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement under NEPA. About 90% of TxDOT’s projects are handled as PCEs. The results of the Section 6005 delegation program (above) served as a springboard for developing a mechanism for fundamentally reorganizing review of PCE projects by shifting the responsibility for review from ENV to newly established Regional Environmental Centers. Activities included:

o Developing conceptual foundations and basic procedures for decentralization, and presenting them to TxDOT Administration;

o Developing standard operating procedures for interactions between TxDOT districts, regional centers, and ENV, including procedures for implementing the transfer of responsibility;

o Coordinating development of standards of submission for deliverables (based on concept from SH 130 project);

6

o Developing and implementing training for district staff;o Participating on committee to develop procedures for using enterprise document

management system for developing, circulating, and controlling documents associated with the PCE decentralization.

ENV Liaison with Local Government Project Procedures Task Force (2007-2008): A 2005 audit showed that administration of federally funded projects implemented by local governments was problematic as a result of poor training of TxDOT and local government staff. The LGPPTF was established to develop materials and training to address these issues. Activities included:

o Expanding the concept of the compliance action plan for SH 130 to address project development in addition to project implementation;

o Coordinate and develop elements of the plan for inclusion in the local government procedures;

o Vetting the procedures in consultation with the FHWA and task force members;o Developing a training module to be used as part of a certification process for local

governments.

Presented as part of Local Government Project Procedures certification training for local governments and the Northgate consortium, Dallas.

o Standards of Uniformity/Standard Operating Procedures Program. Discussion of how trends in TxDOT’s shift toward standardization of the environmental process conflicts with national trends toward project-specific environmental processes as well as TxDOT’s adoption of the Primavera V.6 project management system. Proposes the use of compliance action plans as a tool for adapting standards to project-specific needs. Presented at TxDOT/TTI Annual Short Course, College Station.

o Embracing Adversity. Discussion of how fear of adverse effects can lead to a potentially self-defeating tendency to do an environmental assessment instead of an environmental impact statement in cases where it would be useful to discuss significant beneficial impacts. Uses the land-bridge freight shuttle project as an example. Presentation at TxDOT Planning Conference, Houston.
