Statement of Qualifications for On-Call Hazardous Materials and Environmental Site Assessment Consultants Project No. 2021-807 Prepared for State of Washington Department of Enterprise Services March 25, 2021 March 25, 2021 State of Washington Department of Enterprise Services (DES) 1500 Jefferson St SE Olympia, WA 98501 Attention: Kevin Barber Re: Qualifications for Facility Professional Services, On‐Call Consultants Project No. 2021‐807—Hazardous Materials and Environmental Site Assessment Consultants Dear Mr. Barber: To support your mission to improve state‐owned facilities throughout Washington, you need qualified consultants who are cost‐conscious and responsive. Hart Crowser is an excellent fit for this contract for these reasons: Rapid response. We’re used to acting fast under on‐call contracts. For example, King County needed immediate sample results for an important upcoming meeting. Within 24 hours, the Hart Crowser team provided a cost estimate to conduct the work. We completed two rounds of sampling and analysis and developed a presentation of data results within two weeks. This responsiveness met the County’s needs for the important meeting and provided critical data for the County and their negotiations on a legal matter. We’ve successfully completed several similar expedited hazardous building material projects in Spokane for DES under this existing on‐call contract. We deliver successful on‐call projects. We have repeatedly been selected for on‐call environmental contracts by public agencies such as the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology), Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), King County, Port of Tacoma, DES, and others. Why? Because we consistently meet the needs of our customers and complete successful projects for both simple and complex sites. We will respond quickly wherever the need. Our team has offices strategically located throughout the state—including eastern Washington—and will dedicate the necessary resources to meet the needs of your diverse client organizations. We have a proven ability to mobilize to public projects in urban and remote areas throughout Washington. We are excited by the opportunity to continue working with DES and look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, HART CROWSER, INC. MICHAEL W.
