Project Overview
Central Washington University (CWU) is requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified engineering teams to provide engineering design, permitting, and construction administration services related to the engineering, permitting, and construction administration of Feeder 14 serving substation 1 at CWU’s Ellensburg campus.

Several of our feeders have exceeded their 30-year life span and introduce a high potential risk for failure. Feeder #14 is one of these critical systems of ensuring ongoing campus operations. In addition to the data center, feeder #14 will also be the primary power path for our second geothermal facility. Over the course of the next 15-20 years, CWU anticipates nearly 500% growth in electrical demand to support its geothermal campus conversion.
