Today, we are one of the largest engineering firms in the <br />region and one of the fastest growing engineering firms in the nation. CMTA expanded in 2012 to integrate our expertise in <br />energy -efficient engineering and design -build construction to offer performance contracting services through our Energy <br />Solutions division, which is NAESCO accredited. <br />Our performance contracting team consists of over 140 individuals living in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, <br />Virginia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, and Minnesota, making our company one of the largest <br />performance contracting providers in the region. <br />CMTA is a national leader in implementing renewable projects and energy efficiency for clients all over the nation. No <br />other engineering firm or contractor produces the high -quality and energy -efficient performance that CMTA consistently <br />delivers. This is not just a generic "marketing" statement; we back it up with real performance data throughout our <br />proposal. CMTA has designed and installed over 150+ megawatts of solar photovoltaic systems for our clients. <br />Our Energy Solutions and Engineering Design teams include 49 offices in 19 states and 1,126 employees. CMTA's <br />employees include 5 NABCEP certified technicians, 260 licensed engineers, 125 LEED Accredited Professionals, 19 WELL <br />Accredited Professionals, 125 engineers in training (EITs), 21 Certified Commissioning Agents, and 30 Certified Energy <br />Managers. Combined, our engineering staff brings hundreds of years of engineering design, construction, and design - <br />build experience to any project. <br />What Makes Us Different <br />CMTA is entirely different than our competitors, and through this proposal we will clearly illustrate these differences. The <br />text of this document will appear in bold orange italics when depicting a CMTA differentiator. These themes resonate <br />throughout the various sections of the RFP response: <br />1. Engineering Firm First, Energy Services Company Second <br />CMTA's project managers and engineers have all implemented photovoltaic projects, starting with a blank piece of <br />paper and finishing the design down to the final detail. Our goal is to consistently install PV systems to ensure <br />maximum on -site electric offset and balance this with a favorable payback for our owners. <br />2. Single Project Manager and Point of Contact <br />CMTA always delivers zero handoffs and one point of contact on our projects. This is true for all project phases, from <br />conception to construction completion, and on into Measurement and Verification. This is the CMTA standard for all <br />projects, as one point of contact promotes seamless communication and continuity prior to, during, and beyond <br />construction. <br />3. Independence and Neutrality <br />CMTA is not tied to any brand or vendor of PV equipment or electric vehicle charging infrastructure. We can therefore <br />discern and provide the right product for each project circumstance, as well as soliciting competitive bidding for each <br />component or service, thereby increasing quality and lowering price. <br />Like no other energy services company, engineering firm, or contractor, CMTA desires to make a long-term commitment <br />to our clients. While other contractors build the job and are 'done," CMTA stands with the client throughout the entire <br />performance period and beyond, be it 20 years or longer. <br />Page 1 1 <br />1- Cover <br />Performance Contracting I MEP Engineering I Zero Energy Engineering I Technology I Commissioning <br />
