TLCG was responsible for preparing site development planning
report; environmental assessment; demolition plans of existing
cabins and auxiliary facilities; and design of new cabins, comfort
station, satellite restrooms, pot washing stations, campgrounds,
parking lots, and utilities at the Malaekahana SRA, Kahuku
Section.
The project was originally intended to replace illegal cesspools;
however, the scope of work quickly broadened to address new
problems identified during initial site investigations. The project
focus shifted to a comprehensive condition assessment of all
property facilities, including the seven cabins that were observed
to be uninhabitable due to structural integrity and presence of
hazardous materials.
During the planning phase of the project, TLCG prepared cabin
replacement recommendations along with a list of necessary
environmental clearances and permits including a shoreline
certification and Special Management Area permit. An
Archaeological Inventory Survey was prepared to comply with
State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) requirements
because the cabins were potentially historically significant.
Cultural impact assessments and biological surveys were
completed for the Environmental Assessment (EA) in accordance
with HRS Chapter 343. The Final EA was published in 2016.
In addition to design of the recommended facility improvements,
TLCG designed new civil and electrical infrastructure to support
the re-designed property. Infrastructure included wastewater
collection and treatment, water, drainage, grading, roadways,
walking paths, ADA-accessible parking stalls, communication,
and power.
Project Status: Construction expected to be completed in 2023.

Company Background
The Limtiaco Consulting Group, Inc. (TLCG) is the consulting
company established by Mr. Felix B. Limtiaco, a former Director
of the Department of Wastewater Management of the City and
County of Honolulu. Founded in 1997, TLCG specializes in
planning, design, and construction services for water,
wastewater, stormwater, and water reuse infrastructure. The
company is also experienced in general civil engineering
projects.
TLCG solves difficult problems with practical solutions
In 2016, the U.S. Small Business Administration selected TLCG
principals as the Small Business Person of the Year for the City
and County of Honolulu. The prized SBA award recognizes the
best of the small business community.
The company has been designated
by Pacific Business News as one of
Hawaiʻi’s “Largest and Top
Engineering Firms” every year since
2009.
Experience and Professional Qualifications
TLCG has built a reputation for openness and honesty with
regulators at the Federal, State, and local levels. We also invest
the time to meet and discuss projects early and often with
regulators in order to build a strong rapport. This strategy of
direct engagement allows us to have frank conversations with
regulators, which can lead to out-of-the-box strategies that
benefit our client, the regulators, and the environment.
Our method of project evaluation involves identifying potential
environmental issues and regulatory requirements as early as
possible during project development. Early identification of
these issues results in superior project delivery. For example,
consideration of endangered species during alternatives
analysis may favor one alternative over another. Another
example is that identification of historic resources at a project
site during design could allow engineers to alter their design to
avoid impacts to the historic resource altogether. TLCG
encourages constant communication between planners,
designers, and construction managers in order to facilitate these
types of solutions.
Our broad range of expertise, strategy of openness, honesty
and engagement, and early evaluation method has taken many
projects from planning to construction efficiently while
minimizing complications.
ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING
TLCG is highly capable in environmental planning and has
successfully prepared environmental documents in accordance

ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE
TLCG received an Engineering Excellence Award at the 2010
Engineering Excellence Awards Competition held by the
American Council of Engineering Companies – Hawaiʻi. The
award is for superior engineering services provided by the firm
for the State of Hawaiʻi, Department of Land and Natural
Resources (DLNR) and Kaʻaʻawa residents whose homes were
in imminent danger of collapse following the 40 days of rain in
2006. “The Limtiaco Consulting Group designed a project which
was on time and came in under budget. The ability to do those
things, while adhering to a compressed design schedule, is the
hallmark of a technically competent firm,” said Carty Chang,
Chief Engineer of the DLNR, Engineering Division.
BEST WATER/WASTEWATER/ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT

Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Awards Banquet.
This project was spurred by consecutive pipeline breaks within
a 250-foot section of 30-inch and 42-inch dual force mains. The
project was declared an emergency because the public’s health
and safety were in imminent danger due to the large service
area associated with the force mains. This project also won an
Excellence Award at the 2014 Engineering Excellence Awards
Competition.

Achievement Awards Banquet. TLCG performed civil design
and construction management services for the State of Hawaiʻi,
Department of Land and Natural Resources for the resurfacing
and reconstruction of the NHRA-sanctioned drag strip to provide
a safe and functional facility for motor sports on Kauaʻi.
BEST SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT
The Wahiawa Police Station NPDES Small MS4 Permit
Program Improvements project was awarded the Best
Sustainability Project Award at the 2017 ASCE Hawaiʻi Section
Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Awards Banquet.
This project was one of the first projects in Hawaiʻi solely

to the issuance of local guidelines on Low Impact Design or
structural BMP standards. TLCG earned an Honor Award for this
same project at the 2018 Engineering Excellence Awards
Competition.
Quality Control / Capacity to Accomplish Work in the
Required Time
TLCG’s work quality is based on the wisdom and engagement
of experienced principals and project managers. Successful
project management begins with the development of a concise
and objective-oriented scope of work and is maintained through
effective communication with the client, stakeholders, and
project team. TLCG employs tried-and-true project control
practices to track productivity, maintain costs, and meet or
exceed project milestones, while ensuring a high-quality work
product. TLCG engineers have more than 330 years of
combined project management and engineering experience.
TLCG maintains five guiding philosophies to ensure project
success:
1. Quality, above all else
2. Service capacity
3. Effective communication
4. Resourceful employees
5. Redundancy
QUALITY, ABOVE ALL ELSE
TLCG’s driving philosophy is its commitment to quality
engineering services. The company recruits hard working and
talented employees, committed to successful projects and
happy clients. TLCG understands commitment to quality
customer service is more important than profitability. TLCG
engineers genuinely care about their projects and clients.
SERVICE CAPACITY
TLCG maintains a database to track current staff workload
relative to upcoming project milestones. This tool allows TLCG
engineers to produce 40 to 45 quality hours of work each week.
Practical employee expectations promote healthy work-life
balance, resulting in happy and dedicated employees. In
addition to managing the workload for existing employees,
TLCG routinely seeks talent before the critical need arises. This
philosophy ensures an ample amount of engineering capacity
while proactively controlling the quality of each employee added
to the company.
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
TLCG invests in relationships through effective communication.
TLCG engineers are empowered to create and cultivate
professional relationships with clients and approving agencies
to ensure project success. TLCG engineers are encouraged to
communicate both good and bad news because it’s the right
thing to do. Effective communication – which TLCG recognizes
requires a tremendous amount of listening – builds trust and
relationships.
CROSS-TRAINING
TLCG services are generally comprised of three disciplines:
Planning, Design, and Construction Management. TLCG invests
in training employees across the three disciplines because
adaptable engineers are better prepared to solve difficult
problems. TLCG engineers are prepared with broader
experiences, armed with deeper appreciation of the various
phases of a project life cycle. This core philosophy also allows
TLCG to use engineers interchangeably to manage dynamic
workloads. TLCG staff members are prepared to temporarily
assist with critical deadlines, thereby increasing TLCG service
capacity.
REDUNDANCY
TLCG builds redundancies for each key employee. This
company philosophy ensures that clients and projects will
continue to be serviced at high levels even when unanticipated
events occur. Employee redundancy practices were exercised
when the company was just four years old. In 2001, president
and founder Felix Limtiaco died unexpectedly. TLCG was not
only able to survive the tragedy, but the company continued to
thrive because of its reliable employee redundancy practices.
Conflicts of Interest
TLCG does not have any conflicts of interest in performing
services for the County of Hawaiʻi.
