't TETRA TECH <br /> County of Hawaii-Statement of Qualifications for Fiscal Year 2025 <br /> Client(s) Project Name Description Period of <br /> Performance <br /> Hawaiian Electric Company owns and operates the Mikilua#4 12kV electrical line,which is located on Mt. <br /> Ka'ala and provides service to the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)tracking station.Approximately 1.8 <br /> miles of the existing line near the top of Mt. Ka'ala is being relocated to address safety and <br /> Hawaiian Electric Mt.Kaala Overhead maintenance/access issues due to hazardous terrain and the presence of endangered species and native <br /> vegetation. Tetra Tech is providing planning and permitting services for the project including extensive <br /> Company Distribution Line 2017 to present <br /> (RECO) Relocation Project biological surveys and other due diligence studies, preparation of an environmental assessment in <br /> compliance with HEPA,compliance with endangered species regulations(Endangered Species Act and HRS <br /> Chapter 195D), and agency consultation. Tetra Tech is also responsible for obtaining the necessary <br /> approvals including a Conservation District Use Permit,Natural Area Reserve System(NARS)Use Permit, <br /> Forest Reserve Use Permit,and a Habitat Conservation Plan(HCP). <br /> Tetra Tech addressed a number of environmental and permitting issues associated with the installation and <br /> operation of six meteorological(met)towers,the initial design of a 200 to 400-MW wind farm,and the initial <br /> siting studies for the proposed submarine cable between Lanai and Oahu.Tetra Tech conducted a variety of <br /> Lanai Met Tower services including a feasibility analysis,biological and cultural resource studies;identified federal,state,and <br /> Castle&Cooke and Wind Farm local permits required for the wind farm and cable project; obtained permits and completed studies for 2007 to 2014 <br /> installation of six meteorological towers;prepared a joint USFWS and DOFAW approved HCP and USFWS <br /> NEPA EA for the met tower project addressing four threatened or endangered wildlife species; conducted <br /> post construction monitoring for listed species at met towers;and provided environmental permitting support <br /> services for the proposed wind farm project. <br /> The Lalamilo Wind Project repowered a decommissioned wind farm located near South Kohala on the island <br /> Site Constructors Lalamilo Wind of Hawaii.Tetra Tech conducted a general biological survey of the project site,coordinated ESA consultation 2013 to 2014 <br /> Project with USFWS and DLNR,and prepared and submitted the HEPA Environmental Assessment.Tetra Tech also <br /> provided community outreach support and visual simulations of the proposed wind farm. <br /> Critical Issue Tetra Tech has completed a number of CIAs for renewable energy developers in Hawaii for commercial <br /> Analyses(CIA)for solar, wind, hydro-pumped storage and other energy projects. CIAs evaluate readily available data from <br /> several proposed public sources and typically include:analysis of biological resource data includingvegetation,wildlife,habitat, <br /> Confidential commercial wind, yp y y g <br /> Clients solar,hydro-pumped wetlands, and protected areas; analysis of land use resources and permit requirements including the Various <br /> storage,and other development of federal, state and local permit matrices; identification of potential issues with surrounding <br /> energy projects in communities, including transportation/traffic impacts, noise/visual impacts, or socioeconomic impacts; and <br /> Hawaii assessment of potential inference with military training routes and airport and weather radar systems. <br /> Tetra Tech provided engineering support for the build-out of a structure with an existing passive methane <br /> Warehouse Passive venting system where renovation activities would result in penetrations of existing system and new building <br /> Methane Venting additions not covered by the existing system;Oversaw a team of engineers that designed a passive venting <br /> Pacific Ocean System Design and methane system for the building expansion; Directed the preparation of the work plan, design drawings, 2011 to 2012 <br /> Producers,Inc. Field Quality Control, technical details and construction specification for retrofit system and submitted to HDOH for review; <br /> Honolulu,HI Conducted field quality control inspections during the two phases of system installation; Provided routine <br /> status updates to HDOH during the project. Our cost-effective design saved Pacific Ocean Producers <br /> approximately nine months and$80,000 compared to approach proposed by another consulting firm. <br /> PAGE 14 <br />
