• Provide advice and assistance to the Engineering Flight in writing, coordinating, and processing DOD Form 1391s in support of Facility Sustainment Restoration Modernization (FSRM) and Military Construction (MILCON) projects.


• Manage the development of 1391's, threshold reporting and compliance with AFI's.


• Develop rough order of magnitude (ROM) construction cost estimates utilizing government provided software (similar to RS Means).

• Provide advice with documenting requirements and acquiring both the authority and resources necessary to accomplish the work.


• Provide advice with obtaining and verifying information to justify and gain Congressional funding approval.


• Provide advice in support of working with Civil Engineering Operations Flight and other USAFA mission partners through asset management to develop requirements.


• Provide advice in support of generating documentation in pre-acquisition efforts for FSRM and MILCON projects.
