<br />J. Scott Parker
<br />PROJECT MANAGER AND SUBJECT MATTER
<br />EXPERT
<br />Senior Manager
<br />
<br />PROFILE
<br />Scott has over 20 years of experience in local government, utility
<br />management, and private consulting. Prior to joining Raftelis, he served as
<br />the Asset Manager for KC Water in Kansas City, Missouri. Before KC
<br />Water, he served as the Assistant Director for Public Works in both Olathe
<br />and Lenexa, Kansas, where he led the finance, data management, solid
<br />waste, field operations (streets, utilities, traffic), and communications
<br />divisions, and managed multiple Police, Parks, and Fire Department
<br />capital projects. He also has private consultant experience providing capital
<br />planning, financial analysis, data system, asset management, and interim-
<br />executive services to Ft. Smith, Arkansas; Jackson, Mississippi; and Kansas
<br />City, Kansas, all of whom had signed Federal Consent Decrees with the
<br />Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
<br />
<br />Scott’s wide range of experience has given him extensive leadership and
<br />technical expertise in the fields of asset management, information
<br />technology, general management, and operations in multiple domains.
<br />This has allowed him to design, develop, and implement asset management
<br />programs in three (3) communities based on capital optimization strategies
<br />and asset management best practices as defined in ISO 55000 and 55001
<br />and ISO 31000 standards and other industry criteria. As an Asset
<br />Management practitioner, Scott has used his understanding of the field to
<br />design teams that combine the best theoretical concepts of asset
<br />management with the opportunities and cultural circumstances specific to
<br />the organizations for which he has worked. He has demonstrable
<br />experience working with multiple data technologies and systems in the
<br />asset management and utility space, including multiple Computer
<br />Maintenance Management System (CMMS) platforms; ESRI Geospatial
<br />Products; Autodesk GeoBIM; Innovyze hydraulic modeling and asset
<br />management software; and various Closed Circuit Television technologies
<br />utilized for Sanitary and Stormwater Assessments which utilize NASSCO
<br />Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) standards. In Kansas
<br />City, he developed the organization’s first data management strategic plan
<br />as well as its Business Case Evaluation criteria for information technology
<br />purchases, which led to both optimization of existing systems and
<br />reductions in the cost for new tools utilized in the department.
<br />
<br />Scott has developed business risk exposure (Consequence and Likelihood
<br />of Failure) models utilized for investment decisions across multiple asset
<br />classes, including streets, water, sewer, and stormwater. In Kansas City, he helped reconceptualize and reformulate
