SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS
<br />Mr. Kanelidis’ background experience encompasses site design, civil, geotechnical, surface water
<br />management, water, and wastewater services for both the private and public sector. He also
<br />had significant involvement with his prior firm in representing Sunshine Water Control District as
<br />District Engineer working on numerous Capital Improvements Projects. As a Project Manager at
<br />CGA, his responsibilities include preparing contract proposals, developing and managing project
<br />schedules, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, developing quantity take- offs and cost estimates,
<br />preparing various engineering plans and technical specifications, permitting, bidding assistance,
<br />project management during construction, addressing Contractor RFI’s, reviewing shop drawings,
<br />negotiating and reviewing change orders, as-built reviews, and final project certifications. As an
<br />engineer with design and field experience, he is versatile in his ability to perform the tasks at each
<br />individual project stage.
<br />EXPERIENCE
<br />Phase 3A Infrastructure Improvements, Bal Harbour, FL: Project Manager for a water, sewer,
<br />drainage, and roadway improvements project within a gated residential community. Primarily driven
<br />by aging infrastructure, the project included approximately 700 linear feet of 8-inch gravity sewer
<br />replacement with new sanitary structures and sewer laterals, 500 linear feet of new 15-inch and 18-
<br />inch drainage pipe with new structures, 5,000 linear feet of new curb and gutter, 8,000 square yards
<br />of asphalt milling and resurfacing with some minor re-grading, and 2,600 linear feet of new 8-inch
<br />and 10-inch water main with services, valves, and hydrants. The new water main was designed and
<br />constructed by a combination of pipe bursting and horizontal directional drilling to limit disruption
<br />and restoration. Additionally, the existing water services were fed by a water main located in the back
<br />of the lots, creating a significant maintenance challenge. Therefore, water meters and services had to
<br />be relocated to the front of each property, requiring horizontal direction drilling of new services to the
<br />back of each lot to reconnect to existing service points. Project scope included design, permitting,
<br />coordinating with Geotechnical and SUE Subconsultants, cost estimating, preparing technical
<br />specifications, updating front-end documents for advertising, assistance during bidding, evaluating
<br />bidders, daily construction inspections, administering construction progress meetings, reviewing
<br />payment applications, negotiating Client-requested change orders, approving shop drawings,
<br />reviewing RFI’s, and final project certification to close out permits. CGA is currently under contract
<br />for construction services as the project finishes. 2017 – Present.
<br />Phase 3C Infrastructure Improvements, Bal Harbour, FL: Project Manager for a water and sewer
<br />improvements project within a gated residential community. The project included over 2,200 linear
<br />feet of 8-inch and 10-inch water main (primarily installed by horizontal directional drilling) and 500
<br />linear feet of 8-inch and 10-inch gravity sanitary sewer. The associated work for the new water
<br />and sewer mains also included relocating water services from the rear to front of properties, fire
<br />hydrants, three manhole structures, and sewer laterals. Project scope included design, permitting,
<br />coordinating with Geotechnical and SUE Subconsultants, quantity take-offs, daily construction
<br />inspections, administering construction progress meetings, reviewing payment applications,
<br />approving shop drawings, reviewing RFIs, and final project certification to close out permits.
<br />SE 2nd Avenue and 7th Street Water Improvements, Dania Beach, FL: Project Manager for a water
<br />main replacement project within a residential community that included over 6,000 linear feet of new
<br />12-inch water main, valves, hydrants, services, asphalt milling and resurfacing, and new pavement
<br />markings and signage. The existing water main was experiencing frequent breaks due to its age and
<br />was undersized given the development over the years. Therefore, the design included upsizing the
<br />pipe and improving fire protection within the project area by adding additional hydrants. There are two
<br />schools within the project limits, so coordination played a key role with both the City and the County.
