BARTLETT & WEST, INC.
TOPEKA, KS

Founded in 1951 by Charlie West and Harry (Bus) Bartlett, Bartlett & West started as a small entrepreneurial firm engaged primarily in land development projects such as those for the Kansas Turnpike. The company quickly gained recognition in 1956 for designing Kansas’ first rural water system, positioning itself as an innovator in rural water solutions. A significant transformation occurred in 1986 when eight project managers acquired Bartlett & West from Charlie West and converted the profit-sharing plan into an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which presently holds 100% of the company's stock. This strategic shift marked a new era of ownership, aligning all employees as stakeholders in the company. Over the decades, Bartlett & West has evolved into a nationally-ranked top engineering firm by prioritizing client and community interests. The company extends its support to arts programs, education, and health and human services through extensive volunteer efforts by its team members. Distinctively, as a 100% employee-owned enterprise, each member or employee-owner enjoys direct financial benefits from the company's growth through profit-sharing and stock value appreciation, fostering a shared vision for success. Utilizing their expertise and passion for innovative problem-solving, Bartlett & West continues to be an integral partner to businesses and communities at large. Based in Topeka, Kansas, with mailing operations conducted from 1200 SW Executive Drive, the company was officially incorporated in Florida on March 2, 2012 (Filenum: F12000000963). Bartlett & West maintains its headquarters operations in KS under the FEI number 480770612. Their current management team includes Mark Salvatore as Secretary, Keith A. Warta as Chairman, and Mary Tilley serving on the Board of Directors. For additional information and updates on their services, interested parties can visit Bartlett & West at bartlettwest.com.
