Military Contingency Contracting Ken Trascher
Areas of performance: Kuwait, Somalia, Albania, Macedonia and Kosovo. Services performed include initial entry, establishing marketing, operations and administration and eventually Country Manager of on-going design-build general contracting operations.

Construction projects included various commercial, institutional and medical facilities, infrastructure, civil and life support and other contingency support services dictated by the specific environment.

Of note:
Projects in Kuwait, Kosovo, Albania and Macedonia resulted in teaching and training hundreds of local civilians in economic empowerment skills such as construction trades in concrete, electrical, plumbing and quality control, and administrative functions such as accounting, personnel management, logistics and procurement. In all cases, construction quality achieved international standards including the British Standards Institute (BSI).

Projects involving vertical environments such as large volumes of concrete or asphalt included quarrying, bulk cement sourcing, batching plants, transport, elaboration and final testing. Vertical integration is typically maximized to enhance efficiency, control quality and to guarantee production schedules. Similar vertical integration and operational synergies can be developed in services offerings for unique industries such as petroleum and telecommunications.

One negotiated project in Kuwait was to reinstate the oilfields in conjunction with the collection and destruction of unexploded ordinance. The project encompassed 850 square kilometers in five separate oilfields spread throughout the country. A fifty-six day schedule was allowed from the moment of notice to proceed, with a $10,000 per day liquidated damage penalty. The project was completed on time and at completion engaged forty-four front-end loaders, six dozers, several school buses including two hundred laborers, fuel trucks, E.O.D. teams, etc. The contract was performed for Royal Ordinance, a subsidiary of British Aerospace.
