Ken Berard, PE
<br />Task Manager — Technical Studies/Reports
<br />Hydraulic Modeling
<br />Mr. Berard has extensive experience in many facets of water
<br />engineering. Mr. Berard has performed numerous studies ranging from
<br />complete water master plans to efficiency studies. His design experience
<br />includes preparing bid documents for reservoirs, pump stations, wells,
<br />pipelines, chlorination facilities, and pressure reducing facilities. Mr.
<br />Berard also has extensive experience in hydraulic modeling. He has used
<br />and is familiar with more than six software packages in addition to open
<br />channel flow software. Rounding out Mr. Berard's experience is work he
<br />has done in inspection, construction administration, shop drawing review,
<br />and plan checking.
<br />EXPERIENCE
<br />Water Master Plan, City of Inglewood, CA. Project Manager for the City
<br />of Inglewood Water Master Plan. The City has a population of 100,000
<br />and needed to prepare for the redevelopment of the Hollywood Park area
<br />including the development of an 80,000 seat NFL stadium and 6,000 seat

<br />music venue. wer demands considered unique demand patterns for the
<br />proposed NFL stadium and support facilities. The City's GIs system was utilized to facilitate modeling of the
<br />three pressure zone distribution system with InfoWater software. The distribution system included four
<br />groundwater wells, treatment plant, pump station, two reservoirs, four pressure reducing facilities, two MWD
<br />imported water connections, six emergency connections, and 156 miles of piping. A prioritized capital
<br />improvement program and financial plan was developed with 6 priorities and a total of about $55 million in
<br />construction costs.
<br />Water Master Plan, City of Monterey Park, Monterey Park, CA. Project Manager. This master plan included a
<br />hydraulic model analysis of the 12,000 services, 12 pressure zone system using Cybernet software. Continuous
<br />improvements as well as capital improvement recommendations were included. Also included were suggested
<br />design standards and a summary of probable future water quality regulations and their likely impact.
<br />Hawthorne Boulevard Transmission Hydraulic Analysis, City of Torrance, CA. Project Manager. Project
<br />Manager to assess impacts of assorted options to connect a 12-inch 4,300-foot-long transmission main.
<br />Computer modeling utilized H2O Map and evaluation included water age, fire flow, pressure, and other criteria.
<br />Recommendation was for a very simple option which resulted in the lowest construction cost.
<br />Hydraulic Analysis of the Durfee Avenue Grade Separation Project, Pico Water District, Pico Rivera, CA.
<br />Project Manager. Project Manager for study that included water system modeling and analyses. Hydraulic
<br />analyses were performed in H2ONET to evaluate the proposed pipeline and fire hydrants relocation, as well as
<br />removal of a railroad crossing pipe. Fire flow scenarios were created in the model to evaluate fire flow capacity
<br />with the proposed improvements. Various runs were used to evaluate the possible effect of proposed
<br />improvements to the water system. Recommendations included increasing the proposed fire hydrant lateral size
<br />to meet fire flow requirement and increasing the proposed relocation pipe size to facilitate removal of the
<br />railroad crossing pipe.
<br />Westridge Pump Station, City of Anaheim, Anaheim, CA. Project Manager for evaluation of existing pump
<br />station pumping efficiency. Evaluation considered replacing four existing pumps of varying capacity with three or
<br />four pumps of different capacities to more efficiently pump common low flows while maintaining higher domestic
<br />flow and fire flow capacity. Objectives also included evaluation of control algorithms to reduce pressure
<br />fluctuations when pumps turn on and off.
