<br />MDWASD Ocean Outfall Legislation Program Management Services, Miami-Dade County, FL: Served
<br />as Owner’s Representative/Sr. Project Manager for the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department
<br />as part of the $3.3 billion Ocean Outfall Legislation Program Management team, an 11-year program
<br />with 28 capital projects that is the culmination of a 2008 regulatory mandate by the Florida
<br />Legislature to stop all wastewater discharge to the ocean by 2025. As a result of this mandate, WASD
<br />is implementing system-wide wastewater facility upgrades through the OOL program. Managed
<br />projects in complying with the requirements of the OOL in the most cost-effective and timely manner
<br />to stay within budget and to meet the regulatory deadlines imposed by the legislation.
<br />West Avenue North Neighborhood Utility and Resiliency Improvements, Miami Beach, FL: Civil/
<br />Stormwater Engineer. CES is the Lead Consultant/Designer and Engineer of Record for the design
<br />and construction of the water transmission/distribution system, sanitary sewer collection system, and
<br />stormwater drainage system for the West Avenue neighborhood in Miami Beach. The project includes
<br />the verification and development of a stormwater model, a new 120,000 GPM master stormwater
<br />pump station, and the design, vertical rehabilitation, harmonization, and ultimate construction of
<br />2.2 miles of roadway, sidewalks, landscaping, and related infrastructure, including water meter
<br />service conversions from the rear of private properties to new water lines and connections in the
<br />right-of-way. The project includes the design of a “Bay Walk” for pedestrians, which extends into
<br />Biscayne Bay at the west end of the Lincoln Road Corridor and proposed stormwater pump station.
<br />MDWASD Engineering, Design and Related Services for the Local Pump Station Improvement
<br />Program, Miami-Dade County, FL: Project Manager & Civil/Stormwater Engineer for the inspection/
<br />evaluation, analysis and design of multiple sanitary sewer lift stations ranging from 20 HP to 60 HP
<br />and associated force mains. The challenges found in designing these upgrades relate to two items.
<br />First, meeting the FEMA Base Flood Elevation for some of these small locations while maintaining
<br />operations and maintenance protocols is a challenge. Under this contract, we have converted several
<br />wet well / dry well systems into submersible stations. These conversions are requiring significant
<br />structural design to reuse the existing facilities. This effort is more cost effective than installing a
<br />new wet well.
