Neil Harper, PE <br />Project Manager <br />Neil Harper is a professional engineer with 19 years of experience in <br />project management, engineering, planning, design, and construction <br />support services for a variety of municipal and public agency projects. <br />Specific areas of practice include water, wastewater, and water reuse <br />systems. Mr. Harper's relevant experience includes water distribution and <br />treatment facilities, pumping facilities, and reservoirs. <br />He successfully manages projects and communicates regularly with <br />clients to develop a thorough understanding of the project and the client's <br />needs. Mr. Harper focuses on tracking project milestones and their <br />relation to the project schedule and budget, allowing for ongoing <br />knowledge of the project status. <br />Project Experience <br />Education <br />California Polytechnic State <br />University, San Luis Obispo <br />BS, Bio-Resource and Agricultural <br />Engineering, 1999 <br />Seismic Evaluations and Preliminary Design for 23 Reservoirs, San Certifications <br />Bernardino Municipal Water Department, San Bernardino County, Professional Civil Engineer (PE), <br />California. Served as project manager, responsible for project to perform CA No. C63288 <br />seismic evaluations and full analysis of 23 reservoirs and preparation of a Professional Affiliations <br />technical memorandum. As part of our work, Dudek team members met American Society of Civil Engineers <br />with Water Department engineering and operations staff to identify Orange County Water Association <br />operational constraints for each reservoir. The 12 steel and 11 concrete <br />reservoirs ranged from 0.1-MG to 10-MG of storage capacity. Analysis for each resevoir included a review of <br />existing drawings and other available docuemnts, field investigations to review the existing condition of each <br />reservoir, reviewing inspection records, and completing structural/seismic analyses in accordance with the 2010 <br />CBC, ACI 350, and other governing code requirements. We developed multiple alternatives and conceptual <br />repairs for each reservoir that included estimated construction costs and repair durations for each reservoir. Our <br />findings were memorialized in a technical memorandum and allowed the Department and Dudek to <br />collaboratively select and package 13 of the reservoirs into 3 separate design packages. <br />Design of Seismic Repairs and Upgrades for 13 Reservoirs, San Bernardino Municipal Water Department, San <br />Bernardino County, California. Following the seismic evaluation and preliminary designs of the 23 reservoirs, <br />served as project manager for Phase 2 of the project which involved design of the upgrades for 13 of the <br />reservoirs that was split into 3 separate bid packages. Each bid package was comprised of 3 submittals (75%, <br />100% and Final) which entailed construction drawings, specifications, bid documents, and an engineer's cost <br />estimate. The 13 reservoirs selected for design upgrades were collaboratively chosen by the San Bernardino <br />Municipal Water Department and Dudek based on the estimated cost and perceived urgency of the upgrades, <br />estimated construction durations/outages of the reservoirs, water system operational constraints and phasing, <br />and reservoir construction type (concrete or steel). <br />25B-" 3 Page 1 <br />
