Vetted Before the Award
Federal construction is a distinct discipline. Success requires more than technical competence; it demands fluency in acquisition rules, agency-specific standards, past-performance documentation, small-business utilization, and the operational realities of working on active government installations. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business with more than 40 years of continuous federal work, we bring both the credentials and the execution capability that agencies need.
We operate as a full-service general contractor capable of self-performing major civil scopes—earthwork, flood control, utilities, concrete, and related work—while managing specialty subcontractors under a single, accountable structure. That combination is particularly valuable on set-aside and partial set-aside procurements, where agencies seek SDVOSB primes that can deliver rather than merely broker the work. Our past performance includes levee repairs for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, national cemetery expansions and upgrades for the Department of Veterans Affairs, erosion-control and site work for the National Park Service and Federal Highway Administration, and related civil projects that demonstrate both technical depth and reliable close-out.
We understand the practical demands of federal work: security and access protocols, quality-management systems that satisfy Corps and VA requirements, environmental compliance that survives audit, and documentation packages that support payment and close-out without prolonged negotiation. Proposal development, estimating, and project controls are aligned with the evaluation factors federal agencies actually use—technical approach, past performance, and small-business participation—so that our submissions are competitive on both price and non-price factors.
The long-term objective is clear: to operate at the standard of the nation’s largest federal contractors while retaining the agility, self-perform capacity, and veteran-owned accountability that distinguish a high-performing SDVOSB. Clients who engage us receive a partner structured for federal success—technically capable, administratively disciplined, and oriented toward the same outcome the government seeks: infrastructure that performs, on time and within the public trust.

I could go on and on about RKE exceptional overall performance, scheduling abilities, technical proficiency, and ability to control costs. RKE properly staffs the project with knowledgeable and motivated onsite field personnel and off-site project management personnel align the documentation with their suppliers and construction forces. This contractor can self-perform work as needed as well as manage multiple specialty subcontractors and suppliers through each phase of construction. In addition, RKE has great communication and coordination skills which are key in both a fast-moving construction site that is closed to the public and coordinating phased work on or adjacent to an active VA medical center that is open to the public, where public access must be safely maintained during the entire construction project duration. I highly recommend RKE for your next project.
