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