SA-2 Pressure Control Station Relocation <br />and Transmission Main Improvements <br />RFP No. 21-127 <br />Mazen Kassar, PE <br />Electrical/Controls Engineer <br />Mr. Kassar has more than 29 years of experience in electrical <br />engineering and industry standard that includes electrical <br />engineering staff management, project management, construction <br />management and supervision, water and wastewater treatment, <br />petro-chemical design, and environmental soil and groundwater <br />treatment. Mazen's background includes designing medium and <br />low voltage power distribution, designing instrumentation, control <br />systems and SCADA systems for a wide -variety of projects, and <br />the installation of electrical systems for remediation projects, <br />including soil vapor extraction systems and groundwater pump - <br />and -treat systems. Other experience includes, working with utility <br />companies to provide new electrical service to new projects, <br />working with local Building and Safety Departments to obtain Plan <br />Check and construction permits, field trouble shooting of electrical <br />and mechanical systems, system commissioning and startup. <br />EXPERIENCE <br />Carlsbad Seawater Desalination Conveyance Pipeline, KSD Joint <br />Venture, Carlsbad, CA Managed electrical design for 52,000 linear <br />feet of pipeline that serves the product water from the planned <br />Education: <br />BS, Electrical Engineering, <br />California State University, <br />Long Beach, 1990 <br />Reg istrations/Certifications: <br />Professional Electrical <br />Engineer, California, <br />No. 15809, 1998 <br />General Construction, <br />Class B, California, <br />No. 777845, 2008 <br />ETAP Electrical Power <br />Modeling, 2010 <br />Professional Affiliations: <br />Institute of Electrical and <br />Electronics Engineers <br />Office Location: <br />Irvine, CA <br />Total Years of Experience: <br />29 <br />50 mgd desalination plant in the City of Carlsbad. Pipeline diameter is <br />54-inch welded steel pipeline operating at a maximum pressure of 500 psi. The pipeline is routed <br />through the cities of Carlsbad, San Marcos, and Vista. The electrical design included designing power <br />for cathodic protection system at multiple locations, designing power, control and instrumentation for <br />large flow control facility and underground turnouts. <br />Mid -Basin Injection: Centennial Park Design Services, Orange County Water District, Fountain <br />CA Four injection wells are included in this project and will be constructed below ground vaults. <br />Wells are proposed to inject 12 MGD of GWRS water into the principal groundwater aquifer <br />approximately 1,200 feet below ground surface. Submersible backflush pumps will be installed within <br />the injection wells. Electrical Engineer responsible for designing two shared facilities' power distribution, <br />injection well's instrumentation and control, communication with the other sites and headquarters. <br />Long Beach 8 Valve Improvement, Electrical Power Svstem Upgrade. Long Beach Water <br />Department, Long Beach, CA. Tetra Tech provided full service Construction Management Services <br />for the Long Beach Water Department during construction for Long Beach Valve 8 Improvement <br />Project. Work involved connection to the MWD pipeline at the Long Beach Valve 8 project sites just <br />east of the intersection of Wardlow Road and Cherry Avenue complete with pipeline replacements and <br />electrical and instrumentation upgrades. Mr. Kassar provided electrical and SCADA assistance during <br />startup of the facility. <br />SJVWB-ERRP Phase 1 Well Equipping and Treatment Facilities Preliminary Desian. Eastern <br />Municipal Water District, San Jacinto, CA. Supervising the electrical design for a project that <br />includes preparation of a Preliminary Design Report with an evaluation of the pipeline corridors from <br />four wells to a central treatment plant, review of treatment technology for iron and manganese removal, <br />disinfection using chloramines, booster pump station and reservoir and well equipping evaluation. <br />Preliminary design drawings will be prepared to a 30% design level that addresses the civil site, <br />mechanical, process, electrical and instrumentation components of the treatment and blending facility, <br />site work and pipeline plan and profile sheets. Project field work will consist of a geotechnical <br />investigation of the well sites, treatment plant and pipeline corridors, aerial and ground survey, <br />potholing and corrosion analysis. <br />TETRA TECH <br />
