energy facilities. He managed projects exceeding $200 million and over a million direct labor
hours throughout the United States. Responsible for contract administration of all phases of
construction, including preparation, negotiation, and award of prime construction contracts,
along with final contract and claim negotiations. His experience also encompasses project
planning, scheduling, monitoring, cost evaluation, value engineering/constructability studies,
QA/QC, establishing field offices and staff, and coordination of design. Developed up-front
planning that lead to final validation and commissioning planning.

Mr. Mlcoch’s representative assignments include the following:

Biotest Pharmaceuticals Corp – Plasma Fractionation Capacity Expansion Facility,
Boca Raton, FL. Project/Construction Manager for this $32 million, 25,000 SF expansion
project. Responsibilities included overseeing cost, schedule and overall construction
activities.

Bristol-Myers Squibb – Multi-Product Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant,

Sanofi Pasteur – Spray Irrigation Project, Swiftwater, PA. Project Construction

Manager overseeing the design, procurement and construction of a complex irrigation and
reclaim water project. The critical start up of a new flu vaccine facility and water treatment
plant was dependent on the successful fast track completion of this system. The system
was spread out throughout the entire Swiftwater campus and remote forested areas which
required extensive coordination with plant operations and unique safety procedures. All
safety, cost and schedule requirements were met by achieving zero injuries, cost under run
and allowed both facilities to start up on time.

suite included the installation of new Bioreactor, Media Prep and Buffer Prep super skids;
CIP skids, Autoclave, Parts Washer as well as other facility equipment packages and the
use of re-used cell culture and purification equipment. The project was challenged by limited
logistical space and working closely within and next to an existing operating facility. In spite
of the many challenges, the project was the fastest project in GSK history going from
conception to production and allowed for sequential occupation and startup of the
facility.

scope included studies and analysis of multiple areas in the facility so as to develop
recommended solutions that could be completed using a phased implementation plan

Élan Holding, Inc, Gainesville, GA. Performed preconstruction planning, constructability

reviews and home office project support throughout design and construction of a 5,200 SF
solid oral dosage manufacturing facility. The process steps and technologies include

weighing. The project also included clean storage and staging areas, refurbishment of an
existing 1,300 SF Encapsulation area as well as an extension to the existing central utilities
building.

Merck & Co, Elkton, VA Performed preconstruction planning, constructability reviews and
home office project support during design and construction of a 25,000 SF Sterile API
manufacturing facility. Design improvements were primarily to alter the material and
personnel flows and air pressurization within the facility to comply with current regulatory
expectations. The project included demolition of a portion of the existing building and
expanding it to meet size requirements. A portion of the building included modular wall and
ceiling technology. Challenge was to construct the process and facility upgrades within a
tight schedule in between annual manufacturing shutdowns.

Immunex/Amgen, West Greenwich, RI. Senior Project Manager for new 250,000SF
Manufacturing facility for the increased production of Enbrel. Facility consisted of (9) nine
20,000-liter bioreactor production trains. Project also includes a new cGMP 124,000SF
warehouse, new central utilities building, and new 94,000SF laboratory/administration
building. Direct responsibilities included formalizing a modularization program.

Merck & Co, West Point, PA Senior Construction Manager for a new biologics vaccine
manufacturing packaging and warehouse facility (Bldg 60) that encompasses cell culture

and virus production, microbial fermentation, and downstream processing. Overall, the
principal planning concerns for this project included the integration of this large new facility
into the client’s existing site, tying into existing utilities and maintaining current circulation
patterns. A key goal for the project was to design the facility to allow multiproduct capability
for campaign production of several biologics in the same facility. The project received the
Business Roundtable 1994 Safety Excellence Award.
