In addition, I have made all the initial property owner contacts and artanged access for the environmental and survey crews to conduct their studies along the route in the feasibility study. I am also, acquiring easements for Calpine projects in Sonoma County and Contra Costa County. From January of 1999 until its completion in early 2001, I was involved every detail of permitting & easement acquisition for the trans-oceanic AT&T Fiber-Optic cable installation from Dunnigan, CA in Yolo County, through Lake County [o Manchester, CA in Mendocino County. Simultaneously, Iworked on the AT&T Fiber-Optic cable installation projects from Cloverdale Peak to Santa Rosa and a small AT&T project in the City of San Francisco. My role was Right-of--Way Supervisor for these projects. My responsibilities were as follows: As this route followed an existing route, I updated the route line list for curcent ownership and created a database of owners. Then I sent letters telling landowners on the route of our project. I then followed up with pre-construction letters and personal phone calls. There were over a dozen re-routes along the existing route. I researched the landowners for the re-route locations, contacted them and negotiated new easements. I kept in contact with them throughout the construction process and handled all property owner complaints that occurred as a result of the cable installation and paid damages accordingly. In addition, I obtained all the encroachment permits for placing the fiber-optic cable within the public roads of Mendocino, Lake, Napa, Yolo Counties and Caltrans District 1 & 3. And I supervised a clerk and another agent during the construction phase. The yeaz before, I did the same thing for an AT&T project from Manchester, CA (neaz Point Arena) to San Francisco, i.e., 1 contacted landowners, negotiated new easements for re-routes and obtained all encroachment permits for Mendocino, Sonoma, Marin counties and the cities of Santa Rosa, Cotati, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Novato, Corte Madera, Mill Valley, Lazkspur, Sausalito and San Francisco. In the above projects, my status was that of consultant to For]<ert Engineering & Surveying (FES). They do the turnkey engineering for AT&T. Paul Gallagher (916-801-7142) was the project manager on these projects. Previously, I had similar responsibilities for AT&T on a copper cable removal project from Lucin, Utah to Re;d Bluff, CA; again, I was a consultant to FES. And a WorldCom trans-oceanic Fiber-Optic cable project in San Luis Obispo County. I was a consultant to Network Development Consultants, Inc., (NDC). I reported directly to Stuart Cohen, the president ofNDC (530-226-6675).
