This month, we spoke with Jonavi Garcia, Project Manager for Fryman Management, Inc. (named after its founder and president Ross Fryman) about the company's role on the APM. Fryman is a DVBE firm in charge of traffic control design and implementation, as well as permit coordination. All of the company's employees are from the Southern California area, so they have first-hand knowledge of how challenging traffic can be—especially around LAX.
With a project of the APM's scope, Jonavi explained, her team has to coordinate with several other companies in order to manage the flow of traffic around equipment and supplies traveling to the work site. "It can be challenging to adapt to the constant changes in development and procedures," she said, "but it is equally rewarding to know everyone on the project is working hard to reach the end goal."
Design Engineer Omar Ramirez works full-time on the APM and coordinates a significant amount of the Area Shutdown Requests within the Central Terminal Area. Omar appreciates how integral Fryman is to the LINXS team. For him, the most rewarding part of the job is "being knowledgeable about everything going on, having everyone see your work and being able to answer questions they may have about it."
