Scott Baker

Scott Baker serves as a Resident Engineer with the W07V Endist St Paul under the Department of the Army, where he provides technical oversight and procurement support for critical civil infrastructure projects. In this role, he ensures that construction and maintenance activities align with military readiness standards, coordinating closely with contracting teams to execute acquisitions for water, sewer, and related civil works systems. His responsibilities include reviewing technical specifications, validating contractor performance, and ensuring compliance with federal construction codes and Army engineering directives. He is instrumental in translating operational needs into enforceable contract requirements, primarily managing firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for heavy civil engineering services. Mr. Baker maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including TAI HOLDINGS, INC, JT LAWN SERVICE, LLC, JOHN FABICK TRACTOR CO, LUMIN ADVANTAGE CONSULTING COMPANY, and R.B. NATIONAL, LTD. CO., many of which specialize in heavy equipment maintenance, site grading, and utility infrastructure installation. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and performance history, fostering collaboration between field engineers and contractors to ensure timely, safe, and compliant project execution. He demonstrates a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, consistently directing all eligible acquisitions to small business concerns without distinction among socioeconomic categories. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize local economic impact and build a resilient, diversified contractor base capable of supporting Army infrastructure missions across the continental United States. Mr. Baker’s procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 237110—Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction—encompassing the design, installation, and rehabilitation of potable water distribution, sanitary sewer collection, stormwater management, and associated appurtenances. His technical expertise lies in municipal-grade utility systems serving military installations, with deep familiarity in trenchless technologies, pipe materials, and environmental compliance standards under EPA and Army Corps guidelines.
