Fred Doran, P.E. <br />Facility Efficiency and Financial Evaluation <br />Mr. Doran managed projects to evaluate the efficiency of several solid waste management systems' <br />delivery of solid waste services, including transfer and landfill operations. His work included field <br />observations and benchmarking of major cost and revenue components compared to peer communities. <br />His recommended modifications regarding use of system personnel, equipment, operations, funding <br />methods and waste delivery quantities have contributed to a reversal in the decline of a regional solid <br />waste management system and improved efficiencies in other systems. His financial reviews also <br />included regional market tipping fee analysis in the face of competition between multiple landfills and an <br />evaluation of needed capital improvements and operations & maintenance programs of a system <br />consisting of an RDF plant, landfill and nine transfer stations. <br />• Crow Wing County MMSW and Demolition Landfills — Minnesota; permit work included EAWs, <br />permit applications, plans and specifications for cell construction and closure, and annual reporting. <br />• East Central Solid Waste Commission — Mora, Minnesota; directed development of a permit <br />application for a vertical expansion, implementing 3:1 slopes and final cover removal to increase <br />capacity over existing footprint. Prepared plans and specifications and documented construction of <br />composite lined cell. <br />• Scepter Industries Industrial Waste Landfill — Bicknell, Indiana; directed design of composite liner <br />with leachate collection, provided quality assurance on construction and managed development of <br />landfill expansion plans, as part of permit modification. <br />• Solid Waste Management Efficiency Study — City of Phoenix, Arizona; led this landmark evaluation <br />study of the City's service delivery efficiency, including field observations and benchmarking of the <br />collection systems and landfill operations. Recommended specific changes and overall strategies for <br />cost savings, service improvements and contracting opportunities. <br />• Gregory Canyon Landfill — San Diego County, California; completed due diligence review of facility <br />permit and design documents on behalf of the developer to secure project financing. <br />• LandComp Landfill Valuation — LaSalle County, Illinois; provided review of permit, design <br />documents, and proposed operating budget. Developed operations cost model for use in calculating <br />facility value for financing. <br />• Fountain County Solid Waste Management System — Indiana; evaluated six alternatives to manage <br />waste, including transfer station, county or regional landfill, or direct haul out of county. Included <br />costs for closure of existing landfill and all cost categories for constructing a new landfill. <br />• Landfill Valuation — Kent County, Michigan; developed operations cost model used in calculating <br />value of MSW combustor ash and MSW by-pass landfills. <br />• Regional Market Tipping Fee Analysis — Private Company; Midwest; reviewed costs for landfill cell <br />development, operations, financial assurance and environmental monitoring and the impact of these <br />costs on tipping fees of landfills competing with the client landfill. Compared the tipping fees of these <br />competing landfills with market information on regional tipping fees. <br />SAIC Energy, Environment & Infrastructure, LLC I 3 <br />
