Gerald Spencer has prepared more than 200 Final Government Construction cost estimates (refer to Construction cost Estimating ) that were used in the FAR and DFAR bidding process and the construction contract award process for acquisition of Federal Government Construction Contracts.

Gerald Spencer was appointed to City of Houston Plumbing Review Board in 1970 and has been re-appointed by each mayor since 1970.  He is now currently the chairman of that City Government Board.

Gerald Spencer has extensive experience as the Mechanical and/or Electrical EOR for more than 1300 construction projects during the past 44 years. These projects include educational projects, medical projects, research laboratory projects, military housing projects, space simulation projects, cryogenic projects, HVAC rehabilitation and correction projects, electrical renovation projects and high rise construction projects.  This includes HVAC systems as large as 8000 tons, and plumbing systems to 13 floors in height, various types of facility fire suppression and smoke control systems.

This also includes interior and exterior lighting systems, interior and exterior power distribution systems, un-interruptible power systems, single and parallel diesel and gas turbine driven generator installations, computer power conditioning systems, electrical overhead and underground primary distribution systems 15KV and 35KV class, specialized data processing power systems & grounding systems, shuttle flight critical power and grounding systems, computer rooms, and x-ray machines.  This includes medical research and patient care projects at The Methodist Hospital and the M D Anderson Cancer Center - Smith Research Laboratory,   This includes radio frequency shielded design for U S Army missile maintenance facilities. 

EOR for the design of the air conditioning, heating and ventilating systems in more than 1,200 construction projects over the past 30 years.  EOR for HVAC systems such as side pocket VAV, dual duct VAV, single duct VAV, bypass multizone, single zone constant volume, chilled water return for reheat, cooling coil bypass, hot gas heat reclaim, evaporative cooling, enthalpy control, chilled water, direct expansion, steam heating, direct gas-fired heating, laboratory ventilation, variable volume fume hood exhaust, variable volume OSA supply.  Gerald Spencer  has designed many nonstandard HVAC systems for special applications and energy conservation.

Gerald Spencer has extensive construction contract administration experience plus general contractor experience when clients have requested that Gerald Spencer also be the general contractor in order to expedite the construction.  These projects include health care facilities, medical & chemical research laboratories, computer equipment rooms, high rise buildings up to 19 floors, office buildings, hotels, educational facilities, aircraft control towers, army ammunition plants, food service facilities, warehouses, hazardous waste processing facilities, radioactive nuclear materials (plutonium) laboratory production facilities, dormitories, barracks, and military family housing projects.

Gerald Spencer has certificates from U S Army for completing the (EMCS) energy management control systems course, the U S Army environmental engineering course, and the U S Army M-CACES (Computer Aided Cost Estimating System) course.

Gerald Spencer has been using PC computers for engineering calculations and word processing since 1979.

Gerald Spencer has prepared more than 100 formal energy analysis with formal life cycle cost analysis and formal reports completed for several Government Agencies over the past 20 years.

Gerald Spencer has performed trouble shooting to solve irregular HVAC, Data Processing Power supply quality, and Electrical grounding problems for various DoD agencies and NASA during the past 25 years.

Gerald Spencer is an expert computer operator of the following Mechanical Design Programs: CHVAC, RHVAC, MHVAC (Metric), EZDOE, Energy Analysis, EC Earth Coupled Heat Pump, REFRIG, Kypipe - Water multiple loop flow analysis, Sansys – Civilsystems® - Gravity Water Flow Analysis for sanitary sewer and storm water flow analysis.

Gerald Spencer maintained active DoD Personal Security Clearance and DoD Facility Security Clearance until Fall 2002.

Gerald Spencer is the EOR for the design and installation of all types of emergency power systems including diesel engine, natural gas engine, and turbine engine driven electrical standby power generators, including new switchgear and controls for four 1350 KVA generators with parallel 3000 KVA transformers for the Mission Control Center at NASA-JSC.  The largest gas turbine engine generator (750 KVA) where Gerald Spencer is the EOR was installed the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company.  Many of these projects had multiple engine generators that were controlled by programmable controllers. Gerald Spencer, PE is the EOR for the construction of more than 25 engine driven power generation systems.

Gerald Spencer is the EOR for all types of plumbing systems such as high rise domestic cold and hot water pressurization, fire standpipes, fire sprinklers, domestic hot water generation by heat of compression reclaim, medical gas distribution systems, laboratory services, sewage treatment, water wells, domestic water systems, storm sewer systems, sanitary sewer systems, natural gas distribution systems, backflow prevention systems, gray water systems and Halon fire protection systems.  Personal experience includes 37 years on the City of Houston Plumbing Review Board.  Performed an energy management function on most of our construction projects for the past 41 years.  Gerald Spencer is the EOR for the design of all types of energy management systems that control the cycling of energy consuming equipment according to a preset program for the optimum use of energy.  Gerald Spencer is the EOR for  the design of radio control of electrical loads for the purpose of load shedding to reduce electrical demand charges.  We consider small subsystems such as adding capacitors to motors for power factor improvement. Often a project requires the preparation of formal reports to justify the expenditure of funds for improvements or new construction.  These reports take into consideration all capital investment, operating costs, taxes, interest, maintenance and replacement costs on a life-cycle cost analysis basis.  Gerald Spencer is the EOR for the design of industrial piping systems and with steam and process distribution piping design in refineries.  Gerald Spencer is the AE of record for chilled water for systems as large as 12,000 tons, steam piping for pressures as high as 400 psig and condenser water systems as large as 12,000 tons.
