Packet A
1. Qualifications/Expertise of Firms on Team
Century West Engineering Corporation (Century West) is excited for the opportunity to assist the Washington State Department
of Transportation (WSDOT) with completing additional improvements at the Methow Valley State Airport (Methow). We
understand the significant role that the airport serves as a base for wildland firefighting activities. Based on our understanding
of the seasonal needs to support helicopters used for firefighting activities developed while completing the Airport Layout
Plan (ALP), we included three helicopter parking positions on the plan. Since the ALP was completed, our engineering team
completed the runway lighting, runway safety area (RSA) grading, and fencing project at Methow Valley State Airport. We have
also more recently designed several helicopter facilities at other airports including a large helicopter complex at the Bend
Municipal Airport in Oregon.
With our knowledge and history of planning experience at Methow, experience designing helicopter facilities, excellent working
relationship with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Seattle Airports District Office (ADO) staff, and proximity from our Bothell
office, we are uniquely qualified to complete the design for these important helicopter facilities on the aggressive timeline
required to satisfy FAA funding requirements. Following the outline identified in the request for qualifications (RFQ), we have
prepared the following statement of our qualifications to deliver the 2019 Methow Valley State Airport Helipad Project.

1. C. Experience Working with Subconsultants
Century West has long-term experience working with all of the subconsultants proposed for this project. The following projects
are recent as of the last three years and exemplify our ability to work as a team with each subconsultant successfully.
BEND MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, HELICOPTER OPERATIONS AREA; BEND, OR
SUBCONSULTANT: Century West serves as the City of Bend’s airport planning and engineering consultant
Environmental Science responsible for a wide variety of technical project assignments. Bend Municipal Airport has
Associates, Inc. seen a dramatic increase in helicopter operations over the past 10 years, with helicopter traffic
ROLE: Environmental now accounting for half of the airport’s current 140,000 annual operations. The significant
Assessment increase in activity and the unique mix of aircraft had created operational challenges at the
airport to maintain safety for all users. Our previous assignments included a full airport master
PROJECT DATES: plan update and an EA for the airport’s new helicopter landing area. The 2012 Airport Master
2014 – 2017 Plan evaluated the issue and recommended physically separating fixed-wing and rotor air traffic
by developing a dedicated helicopter operations area (HOA) with helipads, helicopter parking,
hangars, fueling, and other associated developments. The 2015 FAA EA for the helicopter
facilities project, which included updated air traffic analysis, noise analysis, and a 30% design
was required to quantify site characteristics and impacts. ESA assisted Century West with
preparation of environmental documentation for construction of the helipad. Findings
concluded a potential wetland on-site caused by a leak in the adjacent property’s irrigation
canal, but since the potential wetland was man-caused, ESA and Century West developed a
plan to work with the Oregon Department of State Lands and the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) to remove jurisdictional claim over this artificially created irrigation wetland. This joint
effort kept the project on track and moving forward per FAA standards.
BOWERS FIELD, RUNWAY 7-25 REHABILITATION; KITTITAS COUNTY, WA
SUBCONSULTANT: The recently completed AMP identified several development projects anticipated within
HWA Geosciences Inc. the current five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) cycle. Runway 7-25 is the crosswind

for redevelopment. The master plan concepts improved AIP-eligible Runway 11-29 and new
PROJECT DATES: parallel taxiway and apron areas to enhance airfield capabilities and safety, while allowing for
2019 – Ongoing future development sites on Airport property. Out of the master plan, Century West has carried
forward engineering and construction implementation of the Runway 7-25 pavement break and
closure, as well as undertaking an EA for the other airfield improvements anticipated in the near
term. We initiated the FAA form 7480 process for closing of the runway, designed the pavement
break, and supported the County’s construction implementation. Century West implemented
a demolition approach to retain pulverized materials on-site to use on the future runway and
taxiway improvements anticipated in the EA. These measures are anticipated to provide cost
savings on the future development projects. As a subconsultant to Century West, HWA is
providing pavement and geotechnical engineering, inspection, and materials testing.
DAVENPORT MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS; DAVENPORT, WA
SUBCONSULTANT: Century West provided the project management, subconsultant coordination, and document

April 2017 – Ongoing 150/5100-17 Change 6, FAA Order 5100.37B, and 49 CFR Part 24. The FAA AIP grant
awarded for the land acquisition project included an AGIS survey. LandTek provided field survey as a subconsultant to
Century West. Century West maintained bi-weekly coordination meetings with the FAA and the Airport where project needs
WSDOT | Methow Valley State Airport Helipad Project 4
required. Agenda items for these meetings tracked the progress on tasks assigned to project team members (FAA, Airport,
Century West, and subconsultants), and were documented in the meeting minutes. Routinely scheduled project meetings,
regular phone conversations, and email exchanges with the FAA ensured project expectations were communicated clearly
and consistently.
GRANT COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, RUNWAY 14L-32R LINE-OF-SIGHT REHABILITATION; MOSES LAKE, WA
SUBCONSULTANT: Century West performed the design of the Runway 14L-32R Line-of-Sight (LOS) Improvements

2. C. Project Management Capabilities
The following project examples demonstrate Greg’s ability to manage project schedule, scope of work/scope creep, budget
issues, and changes that arise throughout the life of a project.
BREMERTON NATIONAL AIRPORT, AIRFIELD ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS; BREMERTON, WA
Century West provided the design services for the airfield wide lighting, signage, and navigational aide improvements
project. The existing high-intensity runway (HIRL) and medium intensity taxiway (MITL) lighting, various airfield signs, select
NAVAIDs, and other electrical system components are experiencing increasing operational/maintenance issues and are in
need of replacement and upgrading. This project consists of replacing these airfield systems, equipment, and associated
infrastructure. In addition to this project, Century West has been assisting the Port with FAA coordination for development
within the Airports Industrial Park. Century West is also currently providing design services for site development of a new
hangar complex. The design of the project took place throughout 2018 and the project was initially bid in Spring 2019.
After the job was bid, the FAA released guidance allowing the use of LED for HIRL systems, previously not allowed. The Port
had a strong desire to pursue the use of LED for the HIRL system. As a result, Greg was able to develop a schedule that
enabled the Port to use the existing budget FAA had allocated for the project and allowed Port to pursue the LED HIRL
option. The project rebid is scheduled for February 2020, and construction is anticipated in Summer 2020 with construction
administration services provided by Century West.
WSDOT | Methow Valley State Airport Helipad Project 10FLORENCE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, ELECTRICAL PROJECT; FLORENCE, OR The Florence Municipal Airport had on-going maintenance issues with their existing electrical system and desired to upgrade the Airport’s electrical capabilities to match what was depicted in the ALP. The existing Medium Intensity Runway Lighting (MIRL) system and Runway 33 PAPI was constructed in the 1980s and had reached the end of their useful lives. The Runway 33 PAPI no longer met FAA siting criteria and needed relocating. The Airport desired to add a PAPI to Runway 15 and runway end identifier lights (REIL) to each runway end as a part of the project. Additionally, the Airport pavement inspection report identified the need for pavement maintenance repairs including crack sealing and a slurry seal of the entire Runway 15-33 and parallel Taxiway A. Century West, under contract with the City of Florence and using FAA AIP funds and a Critical Oregon Aviation Relief (COAR) grant from the Oregon Department of Aviation (ODA), addressed all components of pavement maintenance and lighting improvements during project design in spring 2018. The project was on an accelerated timeline to open grants due to FAA funding constraints. Greg was able to navigate the accelerated timeline, and deliver the final plans to meet FAA expectations. The project was bid in July 2018, and due to a competitive bidding market, bids came in higher than anticipated. Due to other pavement maintenance activities at the Airport, the City elected to remove pavement maintenance items from the scope of work and focus on the electrical improvements; however, there was still a funding shortfall to construct all of the electrical items. Led by Greg, Century West was able to clearly delineate the electrical items and pavement maintenance items in the scope of work for the contractors to bid on the job, making it easier to determine a prime contractor. Although bids for the project came in higher than estimated, Greg worked with the contractor on this change to develop an alternative that included directional boring in lieu of in-pavement trenching in select locations that resulted in a cost savings to the project. As a result, the City was able to fund all of the electrical improvements due to Century West’s work with the contractor and FAA. AUBURN MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, RUNWAY 16-34 EXTENSION FINAL DESIGN; AUBURN, WA Century West assisted the City of Auburn in their efforts to extend Runway 16-34, the Airport’s sole runway. Century West’s role began during the Airport Master Plan that was completed in 2015 and identified a need for a runway extension on both runway ends. Being constrained in an urban environment, the Airport would have to use declared distances to maintain the existing runway threshold locations. Greg managed the EA for the runway extension in 2017; however, the FAA required additional documentation to support the runway extension. Through an additional planning exercise, Greg and the Century West team made a case to the FAA that justified the use of declared distances on the runway and successfully received project approval from the FAA to begin design. The design of the project took place in 2019 and bid by summer 2019. Portions of the project were separated into various bid alternates to be awarded based on available funding. The project was designed on an accelerated timeline to meet FAA funding deadlines and is scheduled for construction in 2020. 2. D.
