EDUCATION Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, University of Miami. 1987 Master of Science in Environ- mental Engineering, Florida International University, 1995 PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION Registered Engineer Reg. No. 54858 ba Leonardo Rodriguez, PE Senior Civil Engineer Professional Design Experience Mr. Rodriguez has over 15 years of Civil Engineering experience of which approximately seven years have been as project manager. He has been the primary point of contact for public and private sector clients for projects ranging from Municipal utility improvements. roadway resurfacing and reconstruction. as well as County local and area wide drainage improvements. Mr. Rodriguez has spearheaded the Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) and Corp of Engineer Dredge and Fill permitting efforts on various projects ranging in size from 5 acres to 250 acres. He is intimately familiar with the South Broward Drainage District. the Broward County Health Department. the City of Miramar and the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (MDWASDI. City of Miami Public Works Department standards and specifications. the Miami-Dade County Public Works Department, and the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM). Project Experience Haulover Beach Park Master Plan Improvements. Senior Civil Engineer responsible for the paving. grading and drainage and utility infrastructure improvement due diligence associated with this Mi- ami-Dade County Parks and Recreation Department beach side park in Miami-Dade County. A boundary and topographic survey as well as geotechnical testing was coordinated and utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing water management and drainage system associated with open green recreational areas. parking designated areas, marinas abutting the Itracoastal Water Way and areas landward of the existing dune line along the beach. Also evaluated the service level of the existing water distribution and sanitary sewage collection and transmission system. A comprehensive facilities report was developed that identified deficiencies to existing systems and recommended improvements to the water management and drainage system, the water distribu- tion system and the sanitary sewage collection and transmission system. Schematic designs of the recommended improvements were developed Close coordination with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEPl. and the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Re- sources Management (DERMI was maintained throughout the master plan process. Deering Estate Rehydration Project - Project Manager in charge of the modeling, analysis, develop- ment of construction plans and construction phase services associated with the Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation Department Deering Estate site. A critical component of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERPJ, this 40 acre project will serve to rehydrate a historical fresh water wetland slough that bisects the Deering Estate property. A hydrologic model was developed that calculated the storm water stages as a result of a combination of natural storm water input into the slough, input of fresh water into the slough via a pump drawing water from the C-100 spur canal and drainage through solution features. In addition. the model considered a control structure at the downstream end of the slough near the bay with a variable crest elevation. The model was used to simulate various combinations of water input conditions with various weir crest elevations to identify the optimum design condition. Construction plans for the weir were developed considering the extreme environmentally sensitive location of the site. All components of the weir control struc- ture were designed based on hand construction techniques with minimal mechanical construction equipment. An environmental resource permit (ERP) from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEPl, a dredge and fill permit from the US Army Corp of Engineers and a Class I coastal construction permit from the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Man- agement (DERM) was processed and obtained. South Broward Drainage District Comprehensive Facilities Report (SBDD) - Project Engineer respon- sible for analyzing the interconnected canal and lake system serving the entire SBDD. The Inter- connected Pond Routing (ICPR) software was utilized for the analysis to identify bottlenecks in the water management system and recommend improvements. A comprehensive facilities report was developed identifying deficiencies and recommending improvements. This report was developed to assist the SBDD in obtaining extensions to their Management of Surface and Storm Water (MSSWj Permit. 10 www.bermellaajamil.cam
