PROJECT EXPERIENCE

City of Venice | Utility System Energy Use & Efficiency Study; Venice, FL Engineering Manager. The study includes a detailed review of the existing energy use, existing utility bills, proposed energy savings opportunities, equipment improvement recommendations and a high-level review of solar PV opportunities. The study included a detailed review of the WTP, WRF, wells and lift stations. Recommendations were noted for possible ways the City could reduce energy use by changing operations and potentially updating equipment.

Hillsborough County | Northwest Regional WRF - Solids Dewatering Facility Design;

Hillsborough County, FL Engineering Manager. This design project is a $895,000 Task Order under Black & Veatch’s General Engineering Services Agreement with Hillsborough County. It includes the design of a new biosolids dewatering facility in a unique delivery collaboration with the County. Steve worked with the Project Manager, Rebecca Oliva, to oversee nearly 100 professionals for the 60%, 90%, and 100% deliverables on schedule and under budget. All engineering disciplines, architecture, cost estimating and BIM modeling professionals collaborated on this innovative design, which is currently in the bid phase.

Hillsborough County | Valrico AWTP Energy Optimization & Renewable Energy Study; Valrico, FL Engineering Manager. The study includes a detailed review of the existing energy use, existing utility bills, proposed energy savings opportunities, equipment improvement recommendations and a detailed initial design of an optimized solar photovoltaic system.

Peace River Manasota Regional Water Supply Authority | Peace River Facility Renewable Energy Study; Arcadia, FL Engineering Manager. Responsible for a Solar PV feasibility study for the Peace River facility. The report focused on the opportunity to add solar PV to the land owned by the Authority. There were four sizes reviewed from small demonstration-scale systems all the way to 75 MW utility scale systems.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE

STA-1W Expansion No. 1 Design and Construction | South Florida Water Management District; Palm Beach County, FL Project Director. Provided geotechnical engineering support services to MWH Americas, Inc. for the site investigation and design of a 6,500-acre expansion of the STA-1W stormwater treatment area located immediately west of the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. The project is a component of the Restoration Strategies projects identified to assist in meeting the Water Quality Based Effluent Limit (WQBEL) that would achieve compliance with the State of Florida’s numeric phosphorus criterion as determined by the EPA. Directed the collection of field and laboratory test data, lead the development of the geotechnical data report and the geotechnical design report, completed seepage analyses for selected levee and control structures, and assisted in the development of the preliminary design report. Also provided the resident engineer and engineering support services during construction.

Southwest Florida Water Management District | Wysong Water Conservation Structure Alternatives Analysis and Design Project Manager. Investigate and determine conceptual rehabilitation alternatives for the Wysong Water Conservation Structure. Performed topside and underwater inspections to conduct a detailed condition assessment, performing a structural analysis for the navigation lock, and developing conceptual rehabilitation alternatives and final report. Black & Veatch is developing up to three conceptual rehabilitation alternatives for the main spillway and one replacement alternative for the navigation lock based on the findings of the condition assessment. The alternatives must achieve SWFWMD’s goals for the system, including maintaining current river hydrology, mitigating scour and erosion effects around the structure, enhancing flexibility to operate the structure for a wide range of elevations, minimizing environmental impacts, and increasing ease of routine maintenance and annual inspections.

Lake Manatee Dam Phase I Repairs | Bradenton, FL Project Director. Oversaw design, permitting, and construction management of emergency repairs associated with an in-stream reservoir constructed in the 1960s.

Repairs predominately consisted of the construction of temporary work platforms, a 3,000-foot-long, 90- to 110-foot-deep trench remix deep (TRD) cutoff wall through the central portion of the earth embankment, and a 300-foot-long jet grout wall in the vicinity of the principal spillway. Close cooperation was required between the owner, state, contractor, and engineer to meet the accelerated repair schedule.
