<br />EXPERIENCE
<br />Mr. Rodriguez has over 30 years of professional responsibility in infrastructure planning, design, construction, and
<br />operation for an array of capital projects in civil, sanitmy, and environmental engineering fields; for municipal and
<br />other public agencies and for private industry. Mr. Rodriguez has served as consultant and City Engineer to a number
<br />of municipalities as well as having experience as Director of the Public Utilities Depmtment serving a population of
<br />160,000 with potable water and wastewater utilities, including as 16 MGD water treatment plant. He was the lead
<br />project manager for the closure of the NW 581h Street landfill in Miami-Dade County, a 360-acre Superfund site,
<br />which included final cap and stormwater management and creation of freshwater wetlands. Mr. Rodriguez's
<br />experience covers a wide range of services including water, wastewater, and stonnwater utilities, utility rate
<br />structures, capital improvement, and emergency response planning. His expertise also covers the area of coastal and
<br />saltwater wetlands. He was project manager on the restoration of the mangrove wetlands in the Oleta River Basin,
<br />which covered 7 acres requiring regrading and replanting. He has designed other salt water and fresh water wetlands,
<br />including sub-aquatic grasses and littoral zones to form part of migration areas. Specific project experience includes:
<br />
<br />Highlands Village Neighborhood Improvements, City of North Miami Beach, Florida - Senior Civil
<br />Engineer for a $6 million dollar neighborhood improvement project in a low lying area of the City of North
<br />Miami Beach with extensive flooding and water quality problems resulting from failed onsite septic
<br />systems. The project included design of a pumped deep well disposal system, design of a wastewater
<br />collection and transmission system, including a new pump station and force main, design of roadway and
<br />site improvements, preparation of construction plans, permitting and preparation of grant applications
<br />seeking financial assistance to complete the project.
<br />
<br />South Miami Watermain Extension - Phase IA & IB, City of South Miami, Florida - Senior Engineer
<br />for this project which consisted of the installation of approximately 2,640 lineal feet of 8" D.1.P. water main
<br />with associated fire hydrants, water meters, valves, fittings, pavement restoration and 1" pavement overlay
<br />throughout a residential community within the city limits of South Miami. Although most of the project
<br />took place within residential streets, there was a need to tap into an existing water main along a highly
<br />traveled road.

<br />
<br />NW 16th Street Water Main and Sewer Force Main, Lauderhill, Florida - Senior Engineer for this
<br />project which included 3,100 L.F. of 16" DIP; 400 L.F. of 16" HOPE Pipe (HDD under US-441); and 800
<br />L.F. of 12" DIP. The main purpose of this wastewater transmission main project is to provide wastewater
<br />service to new development in the east portion of the City; in particular to the new Central Broward
<br />Regional Park, new developments such as Georgetown, and to provide pump station flow relief. A large
<br />16" diameter HD polyethylene pipe crossing under US-441 was required.
<br />
<br />Monticello Service Area Sewer System, North Miami Beach, Florida - Senior Engineer for the planning
<br />of the Monticello Pump Station included the tributary of commercial properties along N.E. 163rd Street and
<br />single/ multi-family neighborhoods within the service area of the Monticello District. The first phase of
<br />construction consisted of installing gravity sewers to the commercial sector; disconnecting existing septic
<br />tanks, and working with the individual property owners to properly locate the service laterals. The pump
<br />station is sized to accommodate a future extension of the sewers to the residential areas.
<br />
<br />. MCC Pump Station and Force Main - Project Manager for this Project which consisted of renovations
<br />and upgrades to a wastewater lift station that was "piggy-backing" into another pump station, which in turn
<br />exhibited more than 10 hour/day in operation. The project consisted of constructing a Y2 mile long force
<br />main and upgrading the pump station to permit manifolding into existing transmission main, thereby
<br />allowing both stations to operate well within the 10 hour day maximum. The design included a casing
<br />crossing of a railroad spur and sequencing of the work to allow full-time by-passing of the flows and
<br />providing uninterrupted flows.
<br />
<br />. Medley Booster Pump Station, Town of Medley, Florida - Project Manager for this pump station project
<br />which included the site selection, hydraulic analysis, preliminary design report, final design, construction
<br />documents, construction administration, pump testing and start-up services. This project was awarded an
<br />Engineering Excellence Honorable Mention award from the Florida Institute of Consulting Engineers
<br />(FICE). The Medley Booster Pump Station is a project whose implementation provided an innovative, cost-
<br />effective solution to chronic problem in the area.
<br />
<br />. Freshwater Wetlands Enhancement; 58th Street Landfill, Miami-Dade County - Project Manager in
<br />the design of closure of a 360-acre landfill on EP A's priorities list. Design offorty-acre freshwater wetland,
<br />including eradication of exotic vegetation, providing for stormwater retention of the site. Design of
<br />remedial actions, site grading, stormwater management, littoral and sedimentation areas, perimeter dikes,
<br />overflows and underdrain system. Wetlands' perimeter was approximately 8,000 feet long.
