<br />including interchange and roadway improvement, municipal street reconstruction, environmental
<br />planning and documentation, access management, safety improvement, and intersection signalization.
<br />Brandon specializes in traffic design including traffic signals, signing and pavement markings, ITS, lighting,
<br />and construction phasing and temporary traffic control.
<br />Education

<br />Relevant Experience
<br />General Engineering Consultant for Preconstruction Services Master Contract Program, MN — Task
<br />Manager. Kimley-Horn was selected as one of the consulting firms for the 2013 GEC contract. Potential
<br />services under this contract included preliminary and final design, bridge design, public involvement,
<br />traffic engineering, geometric layouts, permitting, utility coordination, environmental documentation, as
<br />well as others. To date, Kimley-Horn has received 11 assignments under this contract.
<br />Traffic Analysis, Environmental Documentation, and Preliminary and Final Design of I-35W Interchange
<br />at County Road H, Saint Paul, MN — As a subconsultant, Kimley-Horn worked with Ramsey County to
<br />redesign the CR H interchange. The project included retrofitting the existing folded diamond interchange
<br />to accommodate traffic from the development of the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP)
<br />site. Kimley-Horn’s role was redesigning CR H from the ramp terminals through the intersection of Old
<br />Highway 8. The ramp terminal intersections are being replaced with five-legged, multilane roundabouts
<br />to minimize the size of the bridge, saving project costs. The roundabouts will provide the best level of
<br />service for traffic while delivering a better safety performance than traffic signals. The roundabout on the
<br />east side of I-35W is designed to be constructed with a simpler configuration, but expandable when traffic
<br />volumes increase in the future. When constructed in 2016, these will be the first five-legged multilane
<br />roundabouts in Minnesota. Kimley-Horn is now providing construction phases services for Ramsey County
<br />on this project.
<br />Trunk Highway 53 Final Design, Virginia, MN — Project Engineer. Served as traffic engineer during the
<br />final hydraulic design, traffic design, permitting, and construction phase services for the relocation of an
<br />existing highway located adjacent to an active mine. The timeframe for design was severely limited due
<br />to the client’s obligations with the mining company to facilitate expansion of current mining operations.
<br />As a result, a CMGC process was used, which functioned similar to a Design-Build in that the contractor
<br />became involved from the beginning of the final design process and took part in weekly progress meetings
<br />with the design team. The project consists of over four miles of new roadway, an interchange with TH
