CASCADE EARTH SCIENCES SUMMARY

Cascade Earth Sciences (CES) is a full-service environmental and engineering firm that has been providing solutions to our clients’ water and environmental needs since 1976. We assess how society’s activities affect and interact with the natural environment - and we help to improve it synergistically. We have assisted the agricultural community, federal and state agencies, cities and towns, natural resource management agencies and industrial clients throughout the world.

Our goal is to provide our clients with sustainable solutions that combine science, engineering, and natural systems. We strive to conserve financial and natural resources while improving the environment, one project at a time. We are customer focused and client satisfaction is consistently measured. Client surveys for projects completed show that 98% of customers would recommend CES and planned to use CES again. CES was honored with State and Federal project awards in 2014. We currently have approximately 35 employees with offices in seven locations to serve our clients (see map below).

In 1998, Valmont Industries, Inc. (Valmont) purchased CES as a “wholly-owned” subsidiary representing their environmental and water management division. Valmont is a global leader providing mechanized irrigation (Valley™ Brand) and infrastructure products with total sales over $3 billion. Valmont’s size precludes CES from being considered a small business; however, since being purchased by Valmont, CES continues the tradition of providing local support and service to our clients. Since CES is part of Valmont Industries, a publicly traded company, CES is required to comply with all federal regulations that direct the financial reporting requirement associated with publicly traded companies. In addition, the CES accounting system is a job costing system that tracks labor hours and vendor invoice by project. All CES and client records are maintained for seven years at our corporate headquarters in Albany, Oregon.

CES has a multidisciplinary team of geologists, engineers, and scientists that is capable of providing the proposed SIN services. Our professional staff maintains professional registrations in their respective fields in the various states in which we provide services. We have several teaming arrangements with other firms to provide specialized expertise (i.e., risk assessments, cultural resources, etc.) and additional professional services should the need arise. We have successfully maintained (with multi-year renewals) an indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service – Region 6 for more than 20 years providing very similar services as proposed below.
