Progressive Engineering Consultants, Inc. (PEC) is a Minority Business Enterprise certified as a DBE in
Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, DC, and Baltimore City. PEC was established in 1980 as a consulting firm to
provide various engineering services to government agencies and private developers. In 1992, PEC
incorporated and expanded their engineering services to include Construction Management and Inspection
and CPM schedule service & construction claims analysis. Currently, these are PEC’s main areas of focus.
In early 2013, PEC’s new ownership focused on increasing quality and reliability to our clients. PEC took
positive steps to ensure PEC’s internal clients – our PEC employees – were provided every opportunity to
achieve a positive lifestyle. As just one example, PEC provided an increased benefit package which included
80% paid premiums for health and dental insurance and 100% paid premiums for life & accidental
death/dismemberment, and short & long term disability insurance. By providing PEC internal clients a
positive working environment, PEC, in turn, provides excellent service for our external clients.
PEC’s additions of Mark J. Flack, P.E., Bill Davitt, and Jennifer L. Grabowski, have enhanced relationships with
our clients and these individuals provide superior service in their respective areas. PEC is active in the
consultant engineering community and has joined ACEC (American Consultant Engineers Council), MAE
(Maryland Association of Engineers), and CEAM (County Engineers Association of Maryland).
These efforts have resulted in a dramatic increase (over 200%) of personnel within the past year and we
continue to grow by adding excellent people to PEC’s organization. The PEC team will soon number over 80,
and includes, managers, engineers, inspectors, and administrative staff. PEC will continue to provide highly
qualified, motivated and properly certified personnel to meet the needs of our clients.
Mark J. Flack is PEC’s Vice President and a State of Maryland Registered Professional Engineer. Mark has
over 32 years of experience in construction administration, management, and inspection. Mark’s State career
encompassed nearly every facet of highway construction culminating in his service as the State Director of
Construction. Mark will be fully participating with PEC clients on all future contracts and is committed to
continue to provide excellent service.
Bill Davitt is PEC’s Director of Scheduling/Claims Analysis. Bill has over 31 years of experience in
construction and CPM scheduling. Bill’s background of management and inspection of construction at
Maryland State Highway Administration and his CPM schedule expertise provide a unique, experienced
perspective for claims avoidance and issue resolution on all construction projects. Bill is well known across
many Government agencies for his expertise in construction claim analysis and CPM scheduling and is
expanding PEC’s CPM and Claim Analysis section.
Jennifer Grabowski, PHR is the Director of Administration at PEC. Jennifer has extensive experience within
the A/E industry including billing, human resources, and marketing. She also assists with marketing and
teaming arrangements. As PEC’s Director, Jennifer supports PEC’s staff in all aspects of human resources.
PEC’s recent and continued growth and success are, in part, attributable to Jennifer’s excellence in service.
PEC continues to provide support for Maryland Government Agencies open-ended CMI and supplemental
engineering contracts. In addition to providing construction inspectors, PEC has also filled several
management positions. PEC personnel are performing as construction managers, utility engineers,
construction auditors, access permit inspectors and construction coordinators for multiple projects. PEC
supports the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) by providing positions for administration, safety, and
track inspection, and Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA) by providing a Senior Mechanical Inspector.
