Kimberly Alexander, PE I Psomas <br />Project Engineer — Hydraulic Modeling <br />REGISTRATION <br />1997/Professional <br />Engineer/Civil/CA #57087 <br />EDUCATION <br />1994/MS/Water Resources <br />and Environmental <br />Engineering/University of <br />California. Irvine <br />1992/BS/Civil Engineering/ <br />University of California. <br />Irvine <br />PROFESSIONAL <br />AFFILIATIONS <br />• American Society of <br />Civil Engineers, Orange <br />County Branch <br />Kimberly Alexander's 25 years of experience includes water resources <br />management, facilities master plans, groundwater modeling, contaminant <br />transport modeling, and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling and analysis. <br />She has developed methods for comparing various management <br />alternatives by combining mathematical modeling and optimization <br />programming and taking into account financial incentive programs and <br />political constraints. <br />Project Experience <br />On -Call Water Distribution System Modeling, City of El Monte, CA: <br />Performed all modeling services and technical analysis for this model <br />update and on -call modeling work effort. The hydaulic model files for <br />the City's water distribution system were obtained in InfoWater software <br />and were last updated in the City's 2010 Water Mater Plan. The model <br />was updated based on system improvements, recent demand data, and <br />current well data and operation to accurately depict existing conditions. <br />Psomas has subsequently used this model to conduct fire flow analyses <br />for the City in conjunction with proposed development projects and <br />to determine required system improvements to meet the City's water <br />service criteria. A new continuous water source from three wells located <br />outside the City was modeled prior to coming online to set well operating <br />criteria and ensure capacity to receive the new water. <br />Hydraulic Model Update and On -call Modeling, City of Buena <br />Park, CA: Project Engineer for updating the City's water model from <br />their 2005 Water Master Plan as part of Psomas' selection by City as <br />on -call water engineer. Reviewed current water demands from meter <br />read data and updated entire system demand loading for 3,400 pipe <br />H2ONET computer model. Tested various scenarios including various <br />capital improvements recommended in previous master plan but not <br />constructed and developed a series of Technical Memoranda to update <br />recommendations. These recommended projects were then designed <br />by Psomas and all have been constructed. One new recommendation <br />that came from Psomas' model update was the consolidation of an upper <br />pressure zone with the major Zone 1, which allows this zone to receive <br />groundwater directly from the Zone 1 well system, expanding the ability <br />of the City to supply less expensive groundwater and also reducing <br />pumping costs. <br />Water Master Plan Update, City of Brea, CA: Project engineer for <br />preparation of an update to the Water Master Plan for the City of Brea <br />and its sphere of influence. Responsible for the analysis of the entire <br />system using a 4,000 pipe H2ONET computer model. Evaluated various <br />water supply scenarios, system storage and replenishment, proposed <br />new developments within the service area, fire flow throughout the <br />system, and related deficiencies and recommended improvements. <br />PSOMAS fiF na 19-icn - . ; i ciry of Santa Ana <br />
