<br />RE: REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING
<br />SERVICES, ELLENSBURG, WASHINGTON
<br />MWA's mission is to serve the essential needs of every community we touch. Your project has
<br />the potential to provide Klttitas County residents with multiple essential public safety and health
<br />needs in one building. The needs analysis forthe Kittitas County Coroner's Office and Public
<br />Health Department will provide feasibility and cost information that will allow the County to
<br />prepare development funding for this project. To improve feasibility, the County is partnering with
<br />Kittitas Valley Fire & Rescue and Kittitas County Airport. By developlng a facility at the Kittitas
<br />Couniy Airport on County-owned land, the new safety and health facility development costs are
<br />reduced and service is expanded through airfield adjacency. lnc uding fire facilities will improve
<br />airport and community resiliency - this project is a win-win-win for Kittitas County.
<br />A DEDICATED AND EXPERIENCED TEAM
<br />MWA brings 37 years of experience serving the essential needs of the community through
<br />innovative, thoughtful, and respectful design. We have completed health, fire, and aviation faciLi-

<br />Terminal-McAllister Field, Spokane lnternational Airport, and Portland Lnternational Airport, on
<br />multiple projects, including needs analysis and feasibility studies, renovations, adaptive re-use,
<br />tenant improvements, and new construction. Our fire and public health experience includes
<br />Portland Fire and Rescue, llwaco Fire Department, and the City of Portland Emergency
<br />Com munications Center.
<br />BRINGING LONGSTANDING TEAMING RELATIONSHIPS TO YOUR PROJECT

<br />tural and civil), FSi Engineers (mechanical), Landis Engineering (electrical), and Sound NW

<br />and health projects. We are pleased to include proposed Subject Matter Expert, MWL MWL

<br />knowledge and experience in needs analysis and feasibility studies on airport properties.
<br />When pursuing projects, MWA considers the overallworkload and availability of our team and
<br />teaming partners. The individuals highlighted in our proposal are currently working in Central
