About our Government Portfolio With the ambitious goal of achieving net-zero energy consumption and carbon emissions by 2030, federal government agencies are focused on innovative technologies to help achieve that goal by improving building performance. GSA’s Green Proving Ground (GPG) platform identifies specific technologies that advance toward the 2030 challenge; these include building-envelope optimization, energy management, water conservation strategies, and on-site power and design of renewable energy systems. We work with government agencies under public-private partnership (P3), design-build and integrated project delivery (IPD) contracts, recently delivering the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse in Long Beach, CA; U.S. EPA’s Region 8 HQ in Denver, CO; and the Benjamin P. Grogan and Jerry L. Dove Federal Building in Miramar, FL. Government agencies, such as the EPA, focus on qualifying emerging technologies, investing federal funds to stimulate private-sector interest in feasibility research, and developing options for sustainable design. Our award-winning design of EPA’s Region 8 headquarters became a case study for federal office buildings with significant energy-saving goals. By focusing on high-performance building design, including energy efficiency, durability, life-cycle performance, occupant productivity and well-being, the project is one of the most studied in the nation. The U.S. Department of Energy and academic and private-sector researchers use the building as a demonstration project for sustainable performance and tenant satisfaction. Syska has supported government agencies at every level and on projects of every scale for more than eight decades. We’re even more excited about the future as federal agencies are raising the bar for high- performance buildings. founded employees offices650192820 02 Project Team Syska Hennessy Group | 6 ORGANIZATIONAL CHART Sean Marcel PE Principal-in-Charge Sam Mahdavian Project Manager and Electrical Engineer Causal Name PE, SE, QSD Civil / Structural Engineer Additional staff members will be used as needed.

The approximately 6.4-million- square-foot facility was built in an area bordered by Aviation Blvd. on the west, Arbor Vitae St. to the north, La Cienega Blvd. on the east and the new 98th Street extension to the south. The facility is connected to the Automated People Mover (APM) and will house more than 18,000 rental car vehicles including ready/return, idle storage and employee parking spaces as well as a Quick Turn Around (QTA) building that allow for car washing, fueling and light maintenance. Once the new building officially opens to the public, rental car shuttles will no longer be needed to access the LAX Central Terminal Area (CTA) as all customers will ride the APM train to get to their rental car company. With the removal of rental car shuttles, LAX will see a reduction in vehicle traffic and passengers waiting to board curbside at the airport. The ConRAC was built using a Private- Public Partnership (P3) contracting model. LA Gateway Partners was responsible for designing, constructing and financing the project and will also be responsible for operating and maintaining it for a 24-year period. Original scope included 30+ level 2 EV chargers. The study took place for the addition of 1,000+ EV chargers for car rental tenants. Furthermore, the ConRAC is furnished with 5.2 MW DC solar PV modules on the roof and carports.

The LADOT has the second largest fleet in Los Angeles County, consisting of over 400 vehicles, carrying nearly 30 million passengers a year and operating over 800,000 hours. Transit operations are expected to grow within the region and LADOT was approved to receive Federal Transit Administration Funds for the purchase of a property on which to build the first downtown LADOT location for fleet inspection, maintenance, and bus lay over, as well as emergency storage and staging as necessary. LADOT wanted to design buildings that were safe, cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing, adapted to the local building industry, and that were sustainable and maintainable, based upon the specific industrial needs of the facility. The new facility facilitates diverse public transit services and incorporates state-of-the-art equipment to accommodate its various transit operations. Syska provided MEP design support and LEED commissioning to reduce the energy consumption, operational and construction cost of the facility. Photovoltaic panels on the roof reduce the energy costs and an urban runoff system filters storm water as well as reclaimed water for landscape irrigation. Highly reflective concrete paving also keeps the facility’s microclimate cooler and the workspaces were designed to utilize natural ventilation.
