What Eisman & Russo, Inc. does

Eisman & Russo, Inc. is a privately held civil engineering and construction management firm founded in 1985 in Jacksonville, Florida, by Dick Eisman, PE, and Tom Russo, PE, PSM. The firm provides planning, engineering design, Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI), program management, and disaster recovery services, primarily to county, state, and federal transportation agencies across the Southeast US, with professional engineers licensed in 15+ states. Core delivery spans highway, bridge, interchange, toll road, and rail/transit infrastructure under Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and PPP delivery methods, and includes specialized disaster recovery services via its wholly-owned E&R Environmental subsidiary (debris monitoring, FEMA and FHWA reimbursement applications, grant writing).

The firm operates more than 200 engineers and maintains a network of 14 regional offices across Florida in addition to its Jacksonville headquarters, with named clients including the Florida Department of Transportation (multiple districts plus Florida Turnpike Enterprise), Jacksonville Transportation Authority, Central Florida Expressway Authority, City of Jacksonville, Clay County, St. Johns County, Broward County, and Flagler County. Differentiated field technology includes Automated Machine Guidance (AMG) 3D modeling for paperless construction, an Automated Debris Management System (ADMS) mobile application, and automated pavement distress/roughness data collection. The firm has ranked among ENR's Top 100 Construction Management firms for more than ten consecutive years.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated through project-based contracts awarded via competitive government procurement (primarily with FDOT and Florida county/municipal agencies), with disaster recovery work sourced through emergency mobilization frameworks post-event. Pricing is set through competitive bid on government projects rather than published rates. GTM is direct enterprise field sales into public-sector owners. The firm has remained founder-family-controlled private ownership with no disclosed private equity, venture, or parent-company involvement.
