State of Washington Department of Enterprise Services

In 2023, the State of Washington Department of Enterprise Services (DES) selected Millig Design Build to design and install energy-related upgrades at the Washington State Capitol Campus in Olympia. 

DES operates and maintains over 3M square feet of state-owned buildings across Washington. DES also administers the Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) program in Washington, managing a pre-approved list of 14 energy service companies that can be selected by any public entity for turn-key implementation of energy-saving projects. 

When it came to implementing improvements at their own buildings, DES ran a competitive solicitation and selected Millig Design Build to be its partner. 

“Millig brings extensive, real-world experience in planning, designing, constructing, and commissioning upgrades for large campuses with district steam and chilled water systems," said Millig President Scott McVey. "We've been intentional about doing things differently than other ESCOs in Washington, and DES has seen this first-hand. It's thrilling to see our innovative approach and talented in-house team recognized by DES this way."

The project is slated to be completed summer of 2023.
