Company Description:

strategic planning utility consultant groupEagle 1 Resources LLC, (E1R) a strategic planning utility consultant group, was started in April of 2004. This company was founded on the premise that with proper advance planning, utility companies would be able to reduce their non-revenue producing expenses on governmental projects.
E1R also works with municipalities to coordinate governmental project installation to allow the utilities to plan better and schedule their work in a timely manner. This has been highly successful in allowing the E1R client base to reduce their project expenses and increase a spirit of cooperation with the municipalities. During the last two years, E1R has documented savings for their expanding client base of over $300,000.00. This $300,000.00 savings was funded by a specific client in the amount of $18,000.00. A return of over $16 dollars per dollar invested. E1R has developed a base of contacts across the continental United States to promote and develop a spirit of cooperation for the utility industry. Our past successes have opened paths to the development of the Plastic Encasement Trust, LLC presently being reviewed by all 48 continental United States Department of Transportation Utility Engineers.

Eagle 1 Resources has worked with previous clients to investigate and determine the true ownership of the property presently being utilized by the railroads. This research has extended back to the mid 1800’s during the growth of the railroad community and the government land grants provided to the railroads during this expansion era. Eagle 1 Resources presently has over twenty (20) years of research to authenticate these railroad ownership issues (or lack of ownership issues) and assist with the removal of annual crossing rental fees and/or encroachment fees. We have developed an information packet with a step by step procedure to investigate and determine the true ownership of the railroad right of way.

E1R presently is a family owned three (3) person operation. David L. Thomas is the President and majority owner of the business. Dave has thirty two (32) years of experience in the Natural Gas Industry and has successfully completed many multi-million dollar projects for the Natural Gas Industry. He is the primary contact with the governmental sector and has been highly successful in developing a contact base in the governmental / utility workforce. Dave has also cultivated contacts with several other industries, including Telecommunications (BellSouth / AT&T), Power (Southern Company), Water (Birmingham Water Works), and Cable Industry (Charter Communications). A copy of the resume and professional references for Dave Thomas is included in this business plan.

Sheila R. Thomas is the Vice President and Director of Operations. Sheila is the primary administrator of the office operations and works to insure project administration details are completed on time.  Ben Thomas is Director – Administration Support and is responsible for technology / office administration support.

Working agreements are in place with several engineering consultant groups to supplement the required work force as needed.
