<br />Leonard Barrera, PE, WEDG, ENV SP, CFM
<br />Project Manager
<br />riprap revetment and a steel sheet pile toe wall. Project includes coastal engineering, living shoreline design, benthic
<br />survey, permitting due diligence, seawall design, grant research, and boardwalk design.
<br />Adaptive Redesign of Jose Marti Park, Miami, Florida. Serving as a model for resilient waterfront parks that can
<br />adapt to current and future flood rises associated with climate change and sea level rise, this project explores ways to
<br />minimize tidal flood impacts and enhance waterfront access to residents. Leonard was responsible for the inundation
<br />modeling, and waterfront engineering design, including living shorelines, while the Cummins Cederberg team also led
<br />the environmental permitting, coordination with FIND, and grant management.
<br />Tidal Flood Mitigation and Shoreline Protection, Hollywood, Florida. The project consists of evaluating 22 areas,
<br />covering over 10,000 LF of shoreline, along the areas known as North and South Lake in the City of Hollywood. Each area
<br />will have specific solutions to address seasonal flooding challenges, which may entail the design and implementation
<br />of varied shoreline protection infrastructure such as of living shorelines, rock revetments, and bulkheads, to meet the
<br />requirements of the new Broward County ordinance. Leonard analyzed tide gauge data to determine tidal prisms, lag
<br />time, and water elevation differences. The analysis from this data will be used in the design of the flood mitigation
<br />structures.
<br />Miami Shores Village Bayfront Park Seawall Replacement, Miami Shores, Florida. Engineer of record for the design,
<br />permitting, and construction of improvements to the 900 LF of seawall at Bayfront Park. The project, funded by grants
<br />from the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP),
<br />aims to stabilize the shoreline to prevent erosion and surge flooding.
<br />Bal Harbour Village Vulnerability Assessment & Coastal Resilience Plan, Bal Harbour Village, Florida. Senior
<br />coastal engineer for town-wide vulnerability assessment under the Resilient Florida grant program. Developed a
<br />comprehensive asset inventory using statewide, local, and county data, cataloged in a GIS geodatabase per Section
<br />380.093 F.S. Reviewed coastal and sea level rise analysis using FEMA storm surge and NOAA projections for 2040
<br />and 2070. Conducted critical asset exposure and sensitivity analysis for 8 flood scenarios, producing flood inundation
<br />maps and asset-specific flood depth tables. Identified focus areas for future planning and budgeting. Participated with
<br />team in public workshops, outreach and GIS Story Map development to gather resident feedback.
<br />Town of Bay Harbor Islands Resiliency and Seawall Condition Assessment, Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. Shoreline
<br />assessment and island resiliency study for the entire Town of Bay Harbor Islands. The shoreline assessment included
<br />20,000 feet of shoreline, including seawalls, rock revetment, residential areas, bridges, and they causeway that
<br />connects the town to the mainland. LiDAR survey data was processed to provide 3D elevation map, and an analysis of
<br />the water levels to predict sea level rise, along with tidal data analysis.
<br />City of Miami Springs Vulnerability Assessment, Miami Springs, Florida. Senior coastal engineer for the City of Miami
<br />Springs’ Vulnerability Assessment and Resilience Plan, funded by the FDEP Resilient Florida grant program. Tasks
<br />included compiling data on critical assets, conducting sea level rise and flood depth analyses, and creating future
<br />planning scenarios. Developed a numerical hydrodynamic model using the state-of-the-art DHI MIKE 21 software to
<br />simulate the effects of compound flooding from king tides, storm surge, and rainfall. Reviewed GIS data to identify and
<br />categorize critical assets, produced a Digital Elevation Model, and gathered water and storm surge data. Developed
<br />detailed inundation maps and proposed resilience strategies to inform the city’s adaptation plan
<br />Matheson Hammock Park Sea Level Rise Flood Mitigation Study, Coral Gables, Florida. Assisted in preparing a Sea
<br />Level Rise Flood Mitigation Study to analyze the impacts of sea level rise on the park’s infrastructure and operations,
<br />as well as develop flood mitigation concepts for planning and budgeting. Compiled existing survey data within the
<br />Park and LiDAR data for the area to prepare a general topographic map for the Park; assessed the condition of
<br />existing infrastructure to understand conditions, remaining service life and adaption feasibility relative to sea level
<br />rise; performed an assessment of the environmental conditions on site to generally understand and document current
<br />conditions, as it would relate to environmental permitting; conducted an engineering analysis to provide extreme tide
<br />water levels; developed flood mitigation concepts and preliminary cost estimates; coordinated stakeholder involvement;
<br />developed an implementation strategy; and presented the results and findings into a report.
