Rock Stars of the Week!

WanapumI hope these guys don't mind ... But I feel compelled to share a little about a couple of rock stars within our organization.

Alex Matarazzo and Cliff Saunders work in our Kennewick office.  They are land surveyors ... and I think they represent some of the best of that industry.  But, what I appreciate most about both is that they represent our company values so completely.  They work hard to service our client's needs, no matter the effort.

Recently, we received a last minute need from a very important client, the Grant County PUD.  The request was a critical one, that would support the ongoing effort to repair the Wanapum Dam.  It's a cool project and we are excited and grateful to be supporting the PUD in that effort.  This particular request came in late on a Friday and the need was for Monday morning.  Unfortunately, Alex and Cliff were also slated to be in Soda Springs, ID (another great project for BPA) starting the same Monday for a ten day stint.

For mere mortals, this would likely represent a challenge ... But not for these two.  In response, Alex and Cliff spent their precious weekend setting up for the critical survey and then performing the onsite work needed to keep the GCPUD project moving forward.  On Monday, they then headed off for Soda Springs to service another mission critical project (this project is worthy of another blog post at a later date).

This wasn't ideal ... and we'd prefer to take care of our client's needs during regular hours, but it reflects the dedication both Alex and Cliff have to our company and client relationships.

Anyways, this is a very long winded way of saying thank you to both Alex and Cliff for their extra effort on behalf of an important client.  As a company, we are extremely fortunate to have a group a great employees who really care about our client's projects and needs.
