<br />Bachelor of Engineering Technology, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida, 1994
<br />Registrations: Professional Engineer, Florida, License # 59485
<br />Professional Affiliations: American Society of Civil Engineers, Water Environment Federation
<br />Training Certifications: Ad -ICPR (H &H Model) Training, 1996, HEC -RAS Training, 1999
<br />XP -SWMM (Stormwater Management Model) Training, 2002, 2004
<br />FDEP Qualified Stormwater Management Inspector, Inspector # 5318
<br />HEC23 — Stream Stability and Scour at Hydraulic Structures, 2003
<br />LEED Certification No. 10445754, 2009
<br />Professional Experience: Mr. Ross is a Water Resources Engineer with over 18 years of experience in
<br />Transportation Engineering, Hydraulics and Hydrology: Surface Water and Ground
<br />water modeling, drainage design and land development, flood control, environmental
<br />resource permitting, stormwater master planning studies, canal- culvert design and
<br />stormwater management plan review. He was the Central Broward Water Control
<br />District's (CBWCD) Plans Review Engineer.
<br />Proiect Experience:
<br />City of Sunny Isles Beach Drainage Study for
<br />dispute involving Rick Conner, Residents and a
<br />General Contractor, Sunny Isles, FL ® Lead
<br />Engineer assigned a drainage study from then City
<br />Engineer, Rick Conner, P.E. The scope of work
<br />included evaluating the impact of flooding on 5
<br />existing properties by a new single family home that
<br />was built significantly higher due to updated FEMA
<br />flood elevations for the 100 year storm in the City of
<br />Sunny Isles Beach.
<br />City of North Miami Basin 5 Improvements,
<br />City of North Miami, Florida Engineer of Record for
<br />best management practices for water quality and
<br />flood mitigation for Basin 5's flooding problems. A
<br />detailed hydrologic analysis of the city of North Miami
<br />Basin's #5 and an extensive hydraulic analysis of
<br />existing and proposed stormwater pump station
<br />structures. This hydrologic analysis included data
<br />collection using DB- HYDRO, USGS and NOAH
<br />databases for rainfall, stage and flow; basin
<br />characteristics including field visits during storm
<br />events, soil testing results, existing permits,
<br />evapotranspiration and surveys. The scope of work
<br />for the hydraulic rating analysis included analyzing
<br />two existing pump stations on NE 14th Avenue and
<br />136th Avenue (existing FLYGHT Pumps) included
<br />developing system and pump curves to approximate
<br />deficiencies. New pump stations were proposed to
<br />accommodate much larger volumes of runoff from
<br />increased development upstream. Flow rating
<br />analysis of the new structures was performed to size
<br />adequate size pumps to keep the flood prone areas
<br />dry on common storm events.
<br />University of Florida Tropical Research &
<br />Education Center, Homestead, FL — Engineer of
<br />record for the expansion of the University of Florida's
<br />Tropical Research & Education Center (UF TREC) in
<br />Homestead, Florida. The scope of work for the
<br />project includes master planning about 8 acres out of
<br />the 125 acre property to grow the campus with an
<br />additional 5 buildings, parking lots, roads, utilities,
<br />drainage, landscape, etc. In addition to the Master
<br />Planning effort, Mr. Ross was responsible to design,
<br />permit and provide construction engineering services
<br />for Phase 1 of the Master Plan's expansion, a
<br />roughly 6,000 SF building that will include labs for
<br />research in mainly the agricultural field. The project
<br />started in June 2011. Masterplanning will finish in
<br />late June; final design for construction documents is
<br />December 2011; construction will start in early 2012
<br />and completed by December 2012.
