JON AKE, CONSULTING SEISMOLOGIST, L.L.C

JON AKE, CONSULTING SEISMOLOGIST, L.L.C. provides specialized seismic analysis and geophysical consulting services to support critical infrastructure resilience and hazard mitigation efforts. The contractor’s core expertise lies in earthquake hazard assessment, ground motion modeling, site response analysis, and seismic risk characterization using industry-standard tools such as SHAKE2000, OpenSHA, and spectral analysis techniques. Their work involves interpreting geological data, conducting probabilistic seismic hazard assessments (PSHAs), and delivering technical reports that inform building code compliance, facility siting decisions, and emergency preparedness planning. A key differentiator is the integration of field-collected geotechnical data with numerical simulations to produce defensible, peer-reviewed seismic evaluations tailored to federal and state engineering standards. Award history is not available, so specific agency engagements cannot be confirmed. However, based on the contractor’s technical focus, it is reasonable to infer potential involvement with agencies requiring seismic safety evaluations, including the U.S. Geological Survey, Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and General Services Administration, particularly for projects involving critical facilities, nuclear infrastructure, or defense installations in seismically active regions. The contractor operates under NAICS 541690, which encompasses other scientific and technical consulting services, reflecting a niche positioning in applied geophysics and engineering seismology. Their market presence is defined by high-specialization services rather than broad IT or construction support, serving clients who require rigorous, science-based seismic risk assessments. The entity is structured as a small business (2J) and is located in Lakewood, Colorado, indicating regional proximity to key federal and state geotechnical stakeholders. No government certifications are held, and the business operates as an independent consulting practice with no indication of subcontractor networks or large-scale teaming arrangements.
