BROWN & KYSAR, INC.

We strive to be the premierfull-service engineeringconsulting partner for smalland midsize public utilities inthe Pacific Northwest.

Well-Respected History

Our firm started 33 years ago (1985) as Rex Brown Consulting Engineers(RBCE). RBCE was founded by Rex D. Brown, an amicable engineer fromTexas. Rex and his engineering staff, including Erik Kysar starting in1990, developed a market niche serving the needs of public utilities thathad little or no engineering staff. In 2006, Erik bought the utilityengineering-service firm and became both principal and owner, changingthe firms name honoring Rex’s legacy - Brown & Kysar, Inc. (BKI).

Their tradition continues today on a larger scale. The business hasexpanded since Erik turned over management of the company and laterownership (in 2018) to the executive team. This change is in ownership onlyas Scott Lindsay, Eddie Jackson, Guy Colpron and Byron Woltersdorf arecommitted to carrying on Rex and Erik’s client-centered approach, as well asthe Brown & Kysar name.

Our Approach (Power in Partnership)

BKI continues to serve public power in the Northwest by providinghands on, practical engineering, permitting and planning solutions. Broad Industry Insights – We leverage our industry knowledge and

contacts on behalf of our partners to provide perspective for informeddecision-making.

Service of Discovery – We listen to our partners to identify practicalsolutions that account for system, financial and political considerations.

Boots-on-the-Ground – We like to get our hands dirty and are alwaysavailable to support our partners no matter what the situation.

Broad Experience

BKI prides itself on employing multi-disciplinary individuals with a widevariety of experience. Our combined experience equates to more than 250years in the electric utility industry.

Over the past 33 years, BKI has performed numerous system planningstudies, electric distribution, transmission and substation design projectsfor public power utilities in Oregon and Washington. Since its founding,BKI has worked exclusively with Electric Cooperatives, Rural ElectricAssociation’s, Public/People’s Utility Districts and Municipalities who areand always have been the core of our customer base. Such a largenumber of successfully completed projects with numerous PacificNorthwest public utilities demonstrates the outstanding qualifications,specialized experience and technical competence of the BKI Team.

High Expectations

Through BKI’s discovery process, we work with our partners (clients) toclearly identify their problems and provide solutions that address theirspecific needs. Our experience helps us make informed design decisions,control both engineering and project costs and streamline schedules.

Long-Range Planning Study and Work Plan

As part of the USDA Rural Utility Services (RUS) loan applicationprocess, BKI completed a Long-Range Plan and Current Work Plan(CWP) for Harney Electric Cooperative. This involved a detailedsystem survey and full computer modeling of the utility’s system,development of recommendations and several written reports forsubmittal to the RUS. The CWP detailed over $40 M in long-rangefinancial investment, emphasizing proactive equipment replacement,reduction of power losses and increased capacity.

2009-2023 System Planning Study

With projected steady load growth along with increasing pressures onreliability, Wahkiahum PUD needed a clear vision to guide decisionsfor the next 15 years. BKI completed a System Planning Study thatsets forth recommendations for both the Cathlamet and Grays Riverservice areas, including a new substation and several majorequipment replacements.

T3ba’das to Manzanita Transmission Rebuild

The T3ba’das to Manzanita project was a 34.5kV to 115kV conversionthrough very difficult terrain. It was broken into three phases overseveral years due to funding constraints. In addition to design, thescope of work included geotechnical investigation, archeologicalinvestigation due to its location on tribal property and biologicalinvestigation since it is in the tide flats of Hood Canal. The footingdesign in the tide flats was especially challenging, since the soil wasvery poor up to 80 feet deep; the footing ended up as 40 deepcaissons essentially “floating” in the soil.

Worden 115kV Transmission Line

The Worden tap is a double-circuit 115 kV transmission line to a newsubstation. The line is all self-supporting steel poles in poor soils witha full-length static and provisions for two fiber optic cables. The twoprimary challenges on this project were landowners with changingrequests very late in the design process, and the poor soilsnecessitating a challenging footing design to support the double-circuittransmission.

Fields to Quinn River Transmission Line

The new 115kV, 52.5-mile transmission line replaces the existing 9.7-mile transmission line section from Fields Switching Station to FieldsSubstation. This section was replaced with H-Frame structures with nodistribution under build. The existing 42.8-mile line section from FieldsSubstation to Quinn River Substation was replaced with single-poletransmission structures utilizing line post insulation and distributionunder build. The under build utilized the existing 3/0 conductor whichwas moved from the existing structures to the new structures.Although the entire project area fell under the NESC Medium LoadingZone for overhead line loading, areas of concern were evaluated forhigher wind and ice loads.

Redesign of I-84 Overhead Line Crossing

BKI redesigned the circuit for Northern Wasco PUD’s (NWPUD) I-84overhead crossing near US 197 after the line was damaged by aconstruction crew. The BKI team utilized PLS-CADD, AutoCAD andappropriate regulations for interstate highway crossing to optimize thedesign. Staking sheets and guying and anchoring guidelines weredrafted for NWPUD for their future use.

SUBSTATIONS

Multiple Substation Projects

There were multiple substation projects with the city of Centralia.Cook’s Hill and North Port were greenfield 20/27/33 MVA substations,including planning the size and location, design, specifications,bidding, relay and protection settings, transmission line, working withBonneville Power Administration (BPA) for the tap and metering, andfinal inspection and commissioning. Ford’s Prairie and Zimmermanwere major remodels, which included complete rebuilds of thesecondary sides, ground grid, oil containment, relaying and exitfeeders. The Yelm Hydro was a complete rebuild of a generator step-up station including transmission breaker with distance relaying,ground grid, oil spill containment, fault current analysis and generationprotection settings.

Multiple Substation Projects

There have been multiple substation projects with Wasco ElectricCooperative. Tygh Valley was a major remodel of an old BPAsubstation including a new power transformer, transmission breakeron a transmission tap, regulators, station service, protection recloser,settings, and ground grid. Pine Hollow was a complete removal andrebuild of another old BPA substation from the transmission high-sideto the exit feeders and everything in-between. Kah-Nee-Ta consistedof a new ground grid and feeder reclosers with the associated settings.The Muddy Ranch and Rosebush consisted of ground grid upgrades.Endersby is next to a sensitive watershed area, and therefore includeddetailed oil spill containment equipment along with new a new groundgrid with grounding wells, regulators, secondary bay and reclosers.

Riverbend Landfill Interconnection Study

BKI completed an interconnection study for the Riverbend Landfillmethane gas generation plant owned by Waste Management inMcMinnville, OR. The study was based on an initial plant size of 3.28MW with a rating of 4.1 MVA at 0.8 power factor. Maximum futurepeak generation was assumed to be 8.2 MW. System upgrades andoperational policy modifications were recommended to optimizeintegration of the generation source.

Yelm Hydro Upgrades

Yelm Hydro is a run-of-the-river hydroelectric project on the NisquallyRiver. The plant contains three generators, nominally rated at 3MW,3MW and 6MW respectively. BKI’s scope of work consisted of multipleprojects over several years. One phase included the upgrade of allcontrols and protection at the hydro plant, including the protectioncoordination with BPA. Another included the BPA metering andmonitoring. A third consisted of developing as-built documents for theentire station. There were also multiple additional projects such assafety controls at the spillways, providing an alternate source of stationservice, etc.
