PROPOSAL Space Planning and Architectural Consulting Services RFP No. 20-040 Said Hilmy, PhD, SE, LEED AP Principal Agent Dr. Hilmy has 30 years of experience in structural engineering design and analysis and project management with strong expertise in the design and upgrade of steel, concrete, and wood structures. Recognized for his knowledge of code developments and seismic retrofit, Dr. Hilmy has worked on more than $3 billion engineering projects and more than 200 seismic assessments and retrofit projects in California and other states since the 1985 Mexico City earthquake. Dr. Hilmy served on the Seismology Committee of the Structural Engineers Association of California, chairing the Building Response Subcommittee. He is involved in research activities with the University of California, Irvine, and University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Hilmy has authored over 50 papers and technical publications dealing with structural systems and building seismic response. He was selected by the National Institute of Building Sciences of Washington, D.C. to contribute to their on -going research work in developing practical tools for the structural design of buildings to resist extreme loadings and blasts. Dr. Hilmy holds two patents related to an invention of a cost effective seismic dissipation device for building applications. In addition, he has won over 20 `Excellence in Engineering' awards for seismic design from numerous local and national organizations. Recognition included four in 2012 for building seismic designs from the Structural Engineering Association of California (SEAOC) and Southern California (SEAOSC), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and Orange County Engineering Council (OCEC). In addition, Dr. Hilmy has been providing aviation engineering since 1990 and has been instrumental in his contribution, serving as Principal, to the $543 million Airport Improvement Program at John Wayne Airport (JWA) in Orange County, California. The project includes one of the largest seismic upgrade efforts ever performed for existing US airports. In fact, his projects for the JWA Airport Improvement Program have been acknowledged with 8 awards, including "Project of the Year".
