Our Services
TAILOR-MADE FOR PUBLIC MISSION
UNDERSTANDING THE PUBLIC SECTOR OBJECTIVE
We consider ourselves partners in fulfilling the vision. Our posture is one of listening, our approach is strategic and our engagement with the public is measured and thoughtful. Agencies rely on this approach and our experience to translate their policy goals and asset potential into credible, well-executed outcomes. And yes, sometimes it takes late nights and early mornings to get it done right.
PUBLIC ASSET DISPOSITION
We prepare, position, and broker public properties for successful disposition through disciplined analysis, deliberate packaging, and measured negotiation. We advise agencies on disposition strategy, development potential, and material risks affecting marketability and value, including zoning and entitlement feasibility, environmental conditions, and physical constraints. We support offering structure, due-diligence coordination, and credible articulation of value to the private sector, helping agencies achieve outcomes that balance market response, policy objectives, and responsible public stewardship.
WSDOT CERTIFICATION
Compliance extends beyond accurate conveyance documents and procedural adherence to equipping agencies with practical regulatory tools that reduce cost and schedule risk. Having trained more than 100 engineering firms and public agencies on compliance strategy, our team delivers proven, defensible solutions. Our experience includes marquee regional transportation projects recognized by WSDOT for achieving certification on schedule, grounded in providing agencies with the strategic tools needed to maintain momentum and withstand scrutiny.
FACILITATING AND INTERPRETING THE DUE DILIGENCE TASK
Goodman Strath provides independent feasibility analysis focused on identifying and interpreting risk. We help clients understand and price uncertainty—particularly environmental conditions, contamination exposure, and regulatory liability—so decisions are grounded in clarity rather than assumption. Our advisory also addresses zoning and entitlement feasibility, permitting constraints, and building inspection findings. By translating technical due diligence into practical, defensible conclusions, we support informed counter-offer strategies and acquisition decisions that withstand scrutiny and align with long-term public and institutional objectives.
ROW AND CONSTRUCTION LIAISON
We serve as a trusted liaison between contractors, private property owners, and public agencies, managing construction-phase communications, complaints, and claims tied to right of way and temporary construction easements. By leveraging established property-owner relationships and proven public-outreach expertise, we relieve agencies of a sensitive operational burden while preserving goodwill, reducing conflict, and maintaining project momentum.
SCHEDULE REDUCING STRATEGIES
Drawing on two decades of experience working across WSDOT Local Programs and public agencies statewide—including many years with team members embedded in-house at WSDOT—we apply regulatory tools with precision and intent. This institutional insight allows us to help agencies materially reduce right-of-way delivery timelines, in some cases by more than fifty percent, while maintaining full compliance and defensibility.
