<br /> alternatives to integrate PRASA's GIS data with its existing MIS, as well as the GIS efforts from other
<br /> government agencies and private projects. As the GIS Program Director, Mr. Perez participated in all
<br /> aspects of the project, including its initial conceptualization, participation in the survey of existing MIS
<br /> systems,meetings with PRASA staff,development of the Action Plan and overall project leadership.
<br /> GIS-PRASA Project, Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) - The Project
<br /> consisted in the creation of a GIS system that combines the data from the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and
<br /> Sewers Authority's (PRASA) existing MIS in its commercial, operational and infrastructure areas. The
<br /> system is being developed in three phases defined in the Action Plan (short, mid and long term) and is
<br /> designed so that it is integrated into the existing MIS and can be used by the engineering, operations,
<br /> commercial, and presidential offices.The system is based on a GIS geodatabase model; its development
<br /> also included modifying the existing MIS hardware including installing,programming,and configuring the
<br /> servers that contain the geodatabases and other related information. As the GIS Program Director, Mr.
<br /> Perez participated in all aspects of the project,including its initial conceptualization and execution.
<br /> Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority MIS Systems Assessment, Puerto Rico Infrastructure
<br /> Financing Authority (PRIFA) - The Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority (PRIFA) is a public
<br /> corporation of the Government of Puerto Rico which began implementing the American Recovery and
<br /> Reinvestment Act(ARRA) Federal Program in 2009,with a total estimated investment of over $6MM. In
<br /> order to maximize PRIFA's efficiency in the management of the ARRA Program,the agency conducted an
<br /> assessment of its current MIS and operational systems.As the MIS Consultant, Mr. Perez conceptualized
<br /> and led the execution of this project in one month. Activities included the performance of personnel
<br /> interviews to define potential MIS issues, and analysis of various MIS alternatives to properly equip the
<br /> Program Management Organization to execute this critical project for the economy of Puerto Rico.The
<br /> ® end result thus far has been an increase in efficiency of PRIM that have led to an increase in the
<br /> likelihood of receiving more federal competitive and discretionary funds for Puerto Rico.
<br /> PRASA Master Plan, Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority(PRASA) - Potable water
<br /> system inventory for the whole Island required for the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority. The
<br /> main objective of the Plan was to serve as a planning tool for the operation and development of the
<br /> aqueduct and sewer systems for the Island up to the year 2025. In addition, the Plan facilitates the
<br /> identification of current and future raw water resources and the evaluation of their quality. Part of the
<br /> project was to provide a way to easily identify the areas around the Island where the aqueduct and sewer
<br /> systems are deficient and need improvements. Mr. Perez led the technical processes to develop
<br /> infrastructure inventories in a GIS platform.
<br /> Valenciano Dam Reservoir, Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) - Construction of a new
<br /> dam and reservoir which would inundate 554 acres and a drainage area of 14.5 square miles. Its
<br /> maximum storage volume available would be 20,000 acre-feet and yield an average of 14.4 mgd,with a
<br /> maximum yield of 21.6 mgd. The College of Engineers & Land Surveyors of Puerto Rico gave it an
<br /> Outstanding Surveying Project award. The surveying and geospatial data was gathered data was
<br /> gathered from a wide array of sources over the last four decades due to various postponements. The
<br /> methods and technologies used range from transit&tape measures to topographic surveys using LIDAR,
<br /> including the use of total stations, GPS, GIS, and photogrammetry, among others. The vast effort
<br /> included in integrating the information from multiple coordinated systems, data, technologies, and
<br /> methods,makes this a truly outstanding project. Mr.Perez was the GIS Manager for the project.
<br /> ENERGY
<br /> Puerto Rico Wind Farms, Pattern Energy Group, LP - The project included the studies necessary for
<br /> installing wind farms in several places along the island of Puerto Rico.This electric energy would be sold
<br /> at a very attractive price, without creating adverse environmental impacts to the areas surrounding the
<br /> windmill farms.Since production of electric power varies with the wind,a location plan of the wind farms
<br /> ® was needed in consideration of wind characteristics at each of the proposed locations. Some of the
<br /> parameters evaluated were wind speed, temperature, altitude, availability of land, access to the
<br /> ♦♦♦• proposed properties,and accessibility for connection to the electric power grid. Mr.Perez coordinated all
<br /> the GIS efforts for this project.
