From intimate resi- dential dreams to landmark commercial developments, we believe in both pushing architectural boundaries, while honoring Montana's authentic beauty. We believe that successful architecture grows from open dialogue with our clients. This produces a deeper understand- ing of not only who they are and what their vision for their project is, but also how that vision can be fulfilled and expanded upon. 'lhe result is a structure that not only does its job exceedingly well but is also beautiful and appropriate to the setting in which it resides Commercial and Civil spaces must do more than house operations — Primarily they need to work. They need to inspire productivity, at- tract customers, reflect brand values, and most importantly speak to the surrounding community. Our designs create environments that drive success and harmony with their surroundings. From sustainable multi -family residences that inspire neighborhood connections to energy -efficient commercial spaces that support local business growth, every design considers its broader impact on our mountain community. We believe that architecture should do more than occupy space — it should enhance the quality of life for all residents and contribute to a sustainable future. Building Relationships with our Clients: We begin by building strong relationships with our clients. We want to know not just what you want to build, but why. Often, clients don't know exactly what they want —that's why they seek out design professionals. By getting to know you better, we can help inform you of what's possible and guide you in the right direction. Our goal is to uncover your project's core purpose. Site Analysis: We evaluate your site's potential by considering everything from topography and natural features to solar orientation and local zoning requirements. This thorough analysis allows us to inform you of your property's true potential for development. Feasibility Study: Our team has decades of experience working with various City, County, State, and local HOA ordinances and require- ments. We pride ourselves on our ability to efficiently navigate these entities and their rules, enabling us to guide you on what is allow- able for your project. Collaborative Discovery: Through open dialogue, we learn about your aesthetic preferences, functional requirements, and long-term goals. This is your project —we're here to help bring your vision to life. Virtual Visualization: Using our advanced 3D modeling technology, we enable you to visualize a variety of design possibilities. Sustainable Integration: We identify opportunities to integrate energy -efficient solutions and sustainable practices that align with your vision while honoring Montana's natural environment. Comprehensive Design Development: Our integrated team develops detailed plans where every element work together. Coordination with Partners: Just as we focus on building strong relationships with our clients, we also prioritize maintaining strong con- nections with local contractors and engineering teams, ensuring seamless communication throughout the project. Project Oversight: We remain actively involved throughout construction, so that your project is executed according to plan while main- taining our high standards for quality and sustainability. Our Process: Project Programming: We create a comprehensive list of Wants and Needs for the project. Together, we'll address key details such as desired size and estimated budget. Thoughtful discussions ensure we fully understand how to best help you achieve your design goals. Conceptual Design: After finalizing the program, we create conceptual design drawings —such as site plans, sketches, and early 3D mod- els —to help you visualize the project's direction. This phase involves collaborative feedback to refine and shape your vision. Our goal is to produce clear, easy -to -understand drawings that effectively communicate the design to you. Design Development: This phase focuses on refining the design further, building on the initial concepts. Key details such as site plan- ning, materiality, and major building systems are clarified and finalized. Through this process, the design becomes more defined and ready for the next stages of development. Construction Documents: After the owner approves the final concept design, we develop detailed construction documents. Necessary consultants, such as engineers, interior designers, and landscape architects, will be brought on as needed, and their work will be seam- lessly coordinated with ours. These finalized documents will meet the requirements for permitting, bidding, and construction, ensuring a smooth transition to the next phase. Bidding/Value Engineering: If needed, Montana Creative can assist in selecting a ral contractor for t e project. We work closely with the client and contractor throughout the bidding process, ensuring a smooth an nsparent experience. Should value -engineering mea- sures be required to align the project with budgetary goals, we will collaborate t ' plement them effectively, helping move the project toward construction. Construction Administration: Montana Creative will support the contractor by addressing design -related questions, reviewing material submittals and shop drawings, and responding to requests for information. We can also conduct site visits to assess and approve project progress and construction quality. Additionally, we are available for final walkthroughs and punch lists to ensure the building is complet- ed to the highest standards.

GCCM Method Montana Creative Architecture + Design has extensive experience working within the General Contractor Construction Manager (GCCM/CMAR) project delivery method, emphasizing early collaboration, clear communication, and alignment of design decisions with budget and schedule goals. Our team works closely with construction managers throughout design and construction to support constructibiliry reviews, cost control, and efficient project delivery. We have successfully completed numerous GCCM projects for Whitefish Mountain Resort, where early contractor involvement was essential to managing complex logistics, seasonal construction constraints, and phased work. Close coordination with construction managers allowed us to address constructibiliry challenges early, integrate operational needs, and maintain project momentum in a demanding environment. Additional GCCM experience includes multiple projects for the Don K Automotive Group, as well as the Whitefish Emergency Services Center, the Whitefish Lake Golf Course Addition, and Casey's Bar. These projects required careful coordination, adaptability, and ongoing collaboration with construction managers to support active operations and evolving program needs. Across all projects, our experience with the GCCM delivery method has consistently contributed to successful project outcomes. Contract Dispute Issues Our firm has never filed litigation, arbitration or a claim against any town, city, county or state jurisdiction. We have successfully completed every municipal project that we have begun. i We have also never had any contract or negligence claims filed against Montana Creative by a town, city, county or state jurisdiction. We have also not been terminated prematurely from a services agreement with a town, city, county or state jurisdiction.

Montana Creatives current ownership & design team was not involved in the project until after completion in assisting the department with some items from con- struction and operations. In 2005 Emergency response times had approached 8-13 minutes with about 2,000 emergency calls each ,year when the City of Kalispell proposed to build a 13,000 square foot, three -bay satellite station to serve the northern area of the city. This new station, features a 16-person training room, drive -through bays, fitness/wellness room, on -site training elements, and provisions to meet the demands of future growth. The prominent tower extends through the rear of the station and serves as a necessary and functional training component to conduct fire -rescue operations. The use of indigenous materials and representative features create a contextual fit with the architecture of Montana and the immediate neighborhood. The proposed Victor Fire Station's design process was complete in 2009. Montana Creative teamed with CR Architects and won this project through an RFP process, despite being the furthest location from the project site, apx. 3 1/2 hours away. The owner's group had a very tight time schedule and needed to submit for a grant six weeks after procuring the design team, with one of the requirements for the grant being to have a building permit. The design team went on a fast -track approach to asses the Owner's needs, develop a program, do an analysis of their existing facility, and develop a plan and set of documents that procured a building permit, all within six weeks. Unfortunately Grant Funding was not secured to build the proposed project but still is a great example of the commitment and abili- ties of the assembled design team. 7 7�� M NJ 6 CENTRAL VALLEY FIRE DISTRICT BOZEMAN FIRE STATION #1 Cost: $10.6 Million I Size: 29,000 sq. ft. I Completed: 2019 Central Valley Fire District's new Station #1 was designed to meet all essential facility code requirements. Additionally, several rounds of value engineering were required to bring the project into budget. There was a strong desire, as an important community project, to purchase materials from as many local suppliers as possible and contract with a 1001/o local workforce. To meet this goal, Morrison- Maierle's structural design incorporated multiple system approaches (both lateral and vertical), various materials, unique geometries, specialized lateral load transfers across materials and systems, as well as providing considerations of differential systems movement. The structural lateral load -resisting systems included masonry and wood shear walls, steel braced frames, and steel moment frames. The roof construction varied, with metal steel deck, SIP panels, wood -sheathed diaphragms, and composite metal deck Roof framing consisted of metal deck on steel joists, SIPS on wood trusses, and GLBs supporting SIP panels. A combination of masonry and wood -bearing walls supported the framing, with steel framing used for the cantilevered canopy. The most unique feature of Central Valley's Fire Station #1 is the detached decontamination (DECON) Facility. It is the first and only kind in the United States and is used to clean fire clothing and equipment of toxic particles known to cause cancer. In order to construct the DECON facility, the design required high exposed masonry walls with multiple openings for natural light. In addition, it also incorporates an interior extractor, which required its own dedicated foundation system. BONNER FIRE STATION #4 Cost: $2.5 Million I Size: 14,000 sq. ft. I Completed: 2022 Morrison-Maierle provided the engineering design of a new fire station for the Missoula Rural Fire District in Bonner, Montana. This new fire station, situated in the Bonner Industrial Park, was designed to absorb the expected growth in the area over the next 20-30 years. Currently, it houses three career and six resident firefight- ers. The building includes a dormitory, kitchen, common area, report room, clothing and turnout room, mechanical mezzanine, and apparatus bay. Since the fire station is classified as an essential facility, the structural demands on the building were higher than typical construction and the apparatus bay were resisted with a combination of steel trusses and masonry shear walls, while the rest of the building is supported by traditional wood framing. A variety of heating systems, including a multi -zone gas -fired furnace and radiant tube heaters, were designed to accommodate the different facility areas. The building is served by an on -site well with three pressure tanks and water softening, and provisions were made for a future "commercial style" extractor washing machine with minimal impact.

We ^ are locally based within the County, allowing us to respond quickly, attend meetings in person, and maintain a strong �-^�1 understanding of local conditions, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations. We maintain sufficient staffing capacity to support this project without impacting other commitments. Our team includes experienced professionals with extensive knowledge of similar municipal facilities, ensuring that specialized design requirements, operational needs, and constructibility considerations are addressed efficiently. Our familiarity with Flathead County's permitting processes, local jurisdictions, utilities, contractors, and review ct agencies minimizes risk related to approvals, coordination, and schedule delays. Additionally, our experience designing bJD facilities in similar climates and operational environments allows us to proactively address issues such as cold -weather construction, durability, and long-term maintenance. Because of our local presence, depth of staff, and proven experience with comparable projects, we view service delivery rin Flathead County as a strength rather than a challenge. Our approach emphasizes clear communication, early Ct coordination, and proactive problem -solving to ensure a smooth design and construction process for the Kalispell Fire 4_4 Department. Going through the Process Our firm approaches this project as a partnership with the Fire Department focused on open communication, early coordination, and practical problem -solving. Being locally based in Flathead County allows us to stay closely involved and respond quickly as questions or challenges arise. -61 Early in the process, we work closely with the Fire department staff and stakeholders to clearly define project goals, U operational needs, and site considerations. Early programming and coordination with maintenance and operations staff U help ensure that functional requirements —such as equipment clearances, issues with existing facilities, workflow, and C)O future flexibility —are fully understood and incorporated into the design. Timelines and budgets so we can address all ^� items upfront so everyone is on the same page moving forward. gl- We anticipate that we will need to engage the local residents and public at least one time and council several rimest to get their input or keep them abreast of where things sit. We are very familiar with those steps and can provide all required information including estimates, renderings, plans and other desired documentation. We also typically run those process with as much involvment from the department as they desire. Budget and schedule are managed through frequent check -ins and transparent discussions at each design phase. We will engage a Contractor to assist us with estimating purposes. This contact will be engaged under Montana Creatives contract with the City. We find that engaging a local contractor for estimating services is the best way to develop a realistic estimate in real time. By providing early cost feedback and maintaining realistic schedules, we can address concerns before they become issues. Our familiarity with local review agencies, contractors, and permitting processes further helps keep the project moving smoothly. During construction, we remain actively engaged through regular site visits, clear communication with the contractor, and ongoing coordination with the City and Fire Department. As a small firm, our clients work directly with the same team throughout the project, which builds trust, accountability, and continuity. This collaborative, hands-on approach allows potential issues to be addressed promptly and ensures the project is delivered in a way that supports the City's long-term operational needs. 13 Meeting the City's Needs Montana Creative Architecture + Design will support the City of Kalispell Fire Department by delivering efficient, O durable, and a highly functional Fire Station tailored to operational needs. We will work closely with Staff to program and design Station 63 based on our standard process. Based on the information already provided, we have developed a Conceputal worksheet that would be similar to what we would initially develop based on early concept meetings. This worksheet outlines our initial understanding of the desired elements and how it may fit and work on the site. This worksheet is not in anyways, a final design, but gives everyone something to react to and start developing a design that works for the department. In this exercise we often see what we like, don't like, what works and doesn't work, what we have too much or too little of, potential and limitations and a possilbe design asthetic that we will modify and develp a concept plan. Once we have developed a conceptual design that we all are happy with, we go out for initial pricing. The concept we are showing came back from Compass Construction with an initial estimate of $400/sf = $2,881,600.00 for wood construction to $600/ sf = $4,322,400.00 for Steel and Concrete Construction. Once we develop a conceptual design and we get initial pricing back, we review, adjust the project as necessary and move into the next phases of design from Schematic to Design Development and then Construction Documents. In each phase we further refine and develop the project in conjunction with the department develping more details and confirm our pricing with more estimates. �--1 Through a collaborative programming and design process, we will maintain close alignment with budget, schedule, ct and operational goals from schematic design through construction documents into bidding. 4--1 During bidding and construction, we will support the City with clear documentation, responsive coordination, and on -site involvement to help ensure successful project delivery. Our practical, hands-on approach aligns with the City's anticipated schedule and supports a smooth transition from design through construction. In listening to ownerships goals with a redundant, straight forward design that works, we would also propose training for staff in the systems of the buildings systems to provide a smooth transition into operations. Managing Project Timeline -E—� Montana Creative Architecture + Design takes a practical, straightforward approach to planning, scheduling, estimating, and staffing. At the start of the project, we work with the City to develop a clear work plan and milestone schedule that aligns with the overall project timeline. That schedule is updated as the project moves forward and Oserves as a shared tool to track progress and keep everyone aligned. We would anticipate the following time frames: Concpetual Design 6 weeks (dependent on owner response time), Design Development 4 weeks, Construction F-�-i Documents 6 weeks. Bidding and Permitting 6 weeks. Based on talking to local contractors, Construction 10-12 months depending on contractor availability. Cost estimating is built into each phase of design. We prepare budget checks at key milestones and coordinate closely with our consultants —and when applicable, construction managers —to confirm assumptions and evaluate options early, helping avoid surprises later in the process. Under our contract MTC would hire Compass Construction to be our cost estimator assuring accurate and up to date budgetary pricing. Staffing is managed through internal resource planning that assigns a consistent project manager and a right -sized design team for each phase. This ensures the City has a reliable point of contact, timely responses, and the appropriate expertise from initial planning through construction. We anticipate having Aaron Wallace as the lead and (1) of our technicians providing production for this size of a project. Engineering outlined no issues meeting this schedule. Ability to Proceed Montana Creative Architecture + Design is prepared to proceed immediately upon selection. Aaron Wallace, Principal Architect and lead for this project, will be available without delay to begin work and engage with City of Kalispell staff and stakeholders. This immediate availability allows for a prompt project kickoff, early coordination, and timely initiation of programming and site evaluation tasks. Currently Mr. Wallace has 5 projects moving into construction with several smaller remodels and potential projects in development. He is looking for his next larger project and if we secure Fire Station 63, would be his primary project moving forward. Other partners in the firm have several projects under contract including single family homes and smaller commercial projects and remodels. Those projects will not affect MTC or Mr. Wallaces schedule. We average 50 projects a year of all size and scale and a project of this size is pretty average for our team. Our firm's size and structure enable direct principal involvement throughout the project, ensuring continuity, responsiveness, and efficient decision -making from the outset. With Aaron Wallace serving as the primary point of contact, the City can expect clear communication and focused leadership from project start through completion. 14 Conceptual Worksheet ..._ _ — M *` a LATIO 6.657 SF FIRST FLOOR 3:800 SF of BAY SPACE 3257 SF of OPERATIONS 547 SF SECOND FLOOR 7.204 SF TOTAL CONSTRUCTION METHODS.
