Reputation, Service Capabilities & Quality LSW Architects, in partnership with TCA Architecture, brings a highly qualified and proven team to serve the City of Kalispell for the design of Fire Station 63. As Prime Architect, LSW provides leadership, continuity, and deep public -sector experience, while TCA contributes nationally recognized fire station expertise. Together, the LSW+TCA team offers a balanced combination of local knowledge, technical depth, and specialized public safety experience directly aligned with the City's priorities forthis project. LSW has served public and municipal clients for more than 70 years and is recognized for dependable service, clear communication, and responsible stewardship of public funds. The firm has extensive experience delivering civic and municipal facilities through all phases of design and construction and is well -versed in public agency processes, budgeting requirements, and coordination with multiple stakeholders. With a local office in Bigfork, Montana, LSW brings direct familiaritywith Flathead Countyjurisdictions, permitting processes, regional construction conditions, and the importance of long-term relationships with City staff and public safety leadership. TCA Architecture serves as LSW's key design partner and provides deep, fire station -specific expertise informed by the planning and design of more than 350 fire and emergency response facilities nationwide. TCA's experience strengthens the team's ability to design highly functional, operations -driven facilities that prioritize responder safety, durability, and long-term adaptability.

Similar Projects and References Pages 8-10 showcase three comparable projects completed for municipalities and local government agencies. Each example includes a brief description of the professional services provided for similar project scopes, along with client reference information. c. Collaborating with GCCM The LSW+TCA team is well -versed in the General Contractor Construction Manager (GCCM) alternative project delivery method. Collectively, the team has participated in more than 40 GCCM projects nationwide serving in a range of leadership and supporting roles. A representative list of GCCM fire station projects is provided on Page 11. Our GCCM experience has been consistently positive and informs a proactive approach to managing project risk. The team has found that engaging the GCCM contractor during schematic design under preconstruction services agreement provides the greatestvalue, allowing early collaboration on goals, constructability, cost, and schedule. This integrated approach supports informed decision -making from the outset and aligns owner, contractor, and design team perspectives. Drawing from extensive experience on complex public safety facilities, the team proactively addresses common risk areas by coordinating early utility interfaces, identifying and tracking long -lead items, and reviewing potential supply -chain constraints. The team also supports early procurement strategies, evaluates material availability, and develops design alternatives as needed to maintain schedule and budget. While collaboration and partnership are central to the GCCM process, the team also advocates for transparency and accountability through parallel estimating, early subcontractor engagement, and competitive pricing. The team supports maintaining flexibility, including the option to transition to traditional delivery if a final guaranteed maximum price cannot be achieved. d. Litigation, Arbitration, and Claims LSW has not initiated nor been a named party to litigation, arbitration, claims, or premature terminations related to the services proposed. One matter, Sincloirv. City of Ridgefield and Ridgefield School District, named LSW initially; however, LSW was removed from the case, and there is no active claim involving the firm. Snohomish County Fire District 21 Rural Fire District In 2018, TCA provided design and permitting services for afire station project that experienced significant delays related to permitting, AHJ, staffing shortages, and industry -wide cost escalation during COVID.

LSW + TCA 3.3.2 - RELEVANT EXPERIENCE E' CITY OF OLATHE EMS/Fire Station 8 Olathe Fire Department was established the same year as the town, in 1857. Today, Olathe is the fourth largest city in the state of Kansas. Our team develop two fire department projects on two separate sites for the City of Olathe. We began the process with programming and master planning with a large group,16 people representing various positions within the fire department. We listened and guided the group through a charrette process with the stakeholders for both projects and gained invaluable insight from the various individuals who perform unique tasks. We toured the existing stations in Olathe as well as stations in nearby in Lenexa and Overland Park. The team also visited the South Platte Training center to observe training activities and to understand the features and operations of the training program. The fire station occupies 1.5 acres of the 10-acre site with the balance of the site slated for a city park. Unique site conditions informed the two-story station design, and the site topography allows for walk-in access to each level. The 10,671 SF fire station features three apparatus bays with support and decon spaces, shop, EMS storage, offices, six bunk rooms, day room, kitchen, and fitness room. TCA provided Fire Facility Design Consulting Services to Architect of Record, Finkle+ Williams. • Design Focused on Firefighter Health & Safety • Improved Turnout & Response Times • Durable, Low -maintenance & Easy to Clean Materials • Adaptable to Accommodate Future Operational Needs & Growth TMA LOCATION Olathe, KS SIZE 10,671 SF / 3-Bay CONTRACT TYPE GCCM FINAL COMPLETION 19/2021 FINAL COST $5.3 M ( PARTICIPATING TEAM MEMBERS Brian Harris Sarah Elley REFERENCE Fire Chief Jeff DeGraffenreid City of Olathe Fire Department 913.971.7900 1 jgdegraffenreid@olatheks.org ( r Statement of Qualifications Prepared for the City of Kalispell Fire Department 3.3.2 - RELEVANT EXPERIENCE r CITY OF KETCHUM Headquarters Fire Station 1 The project team evaluated the outdated facility, developed an operational program, provided bond election support, and design and construction support for the facility after bond passage.. The city -owned site, selected from a survey of 22 sites, shares parking and physical training space with the adjacentYMCA facility. The two-story station features four apparatus bays with decon and support spaces, crew living and sleeping quarters, a community meeting room, and administrative offices. Crew living spaces are oriented toward mountain views to connect with nature. The sleeping room signaling system was designed so that each call is independently routed to select firefighters based on urban, wildfire, or mountain rescue response need. The station's flat roof with high parapets safely supports heavy snow loads and minimizes potential damage or injury to users and equipment. The sustainably designed station is durable and low maintenance, capitalizing on an energy -efficient envelope, mechanical and electrical systems to achieve LEED v4 Silver certification and meet Net Zero 2030 goals.

Wherever possible, the design retains the original structural walls and electrical room to keep the project within budget and allow for efficient use of dollars. The remodels primary goal was to enhance firefighter sleep, health, and wellness. To that end, each engine company was given its own dedicated corridor and exterior access sleeping room lockers, and the entire plan was guided by exposure and contaminate control best practices. TCA and LSW are working in partnership to deliver fire facility design expertise, drawing on TCA's specialized knowledge to inform needs, community outreach, conceptual design, schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration support. A critical element of the phasing strategy was the establishment of an on -site, temporary fire station to ensure uninterrupted operations throughout construction. This approach aligns with ourteam's focus on maintaining emergency service continuity during every phase of the project. • Design Focused on Firefighter Health & Safety • Design Efficiencies • Uninterrupted Operations During construction • Cost Effective LSW I T M A LOCATION Vancouver, WA SIZE 9,191 SF CONTRACT TYPE GCCM FINAL COMPLETION Q3 2026 FINAL COST $10 M PARTICIPATING TEAM MEMBERS Brent Young Chris Spurgin Brian Harris Sarah Elley REFERENCE Deputy Chief Nathan Leek Vancouver Fire Department 360.487.72041 nathan.leek@cityofvancouver.us 0 Statement of Qualifications Prepared for the City of Kalispell Fire Department 3.3.2 - RELEVANT EXPERIENCE I GCCM PROJECTS l Fire Station 21 Portland, OR Joint Training Crested Butte, CO Fire Station51Tukwila,WA FireStation52Tukwila,WA 2-Bay Fire Station 8,400 SF 4-Bay Fire Station 26,200 SF 2-Bay Fire Station 12,540 SF 3-Bay Fire Station 16,850 SF all; d; .3r - P�M Fire Station 8 Olathe, KS Fire Station 9 Olathe, KS Justice Center Lenexa, KS Fire Station 6 Lenexa, KS 3-Bay Fire Station 10,671 SF 2-Bay Fire Station 14,014 SF Police, Courts,911,Training121,850SF 3-Bay Fire Station 32,000 SF IL � — 0 Fire Station 50 Dallas, TX Fire Station 27 Da Has, TX Public Safety Center Lancaster, TX Public Safety CenterSkagway, AK 4-Bay Fire Station 9,700 SF 2-Bay Fire Station 23,600 SF 4-Bay Fire Station + Police 55,258 SF 6-Bay Fire Station + Police 26,370 SF Fire Station 4 Boise, ID Fire Station 8 Boise, ID Fire Station 1 Ketchum, ID Fire Station 14 Salt Lake City, UT 3-Bay Fire Station 13,775 SF 3-Bay Fire Station 111,936 SF 4-Bay Fire Station 116,530 SF 4-Bay Fire Station 17,200 SF n mh� 110 mow gift Fire Station 3Salt Lake City, UT Fire Station 62 Spanish Fork, UT Fire Station 52 American Fork, UT Fire Station 42 Clearfield, UT 3-Bay Fire Station 18,200 SF 3-Bay Fire Station 118,800 SF 3-Bay Fire Station 17,100 SF 4-Bay Fire Station 18,200 SF �� W71 Public Safety Center Bozeman, MT Fire Station 2 Bozeman, MT HQ Fire Station 3 Bigfork, MT Public Safety Facility Big Sky, MT 5-Bay Fire Station + Police 194,000 SF 3-Bay Fire Station 111,500 SF 5-Bay Fire Station 123,300 SF 3-Bay Fire Station 121,000 SF LSW+TCA 1 11 3.3.3 Company and Personnel Qualifications es"Z&IT Photo: Yellowstone Club -Public Safety Headquarters 11 Big Sky, MT 4 i';;J,(Ountmo,. 3.3.3 - COMPANYAND PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS* � ORGANIZATIONAL FLOWCHART *Criteria a & c were adequately answered in section 3.3.1.

Forthis support we have included Luke Hamman of Tell Construction Advisors on ourteam. ISSUE: Delivering a construction project in the current market requires the ability to anticipate and plan forthe dynamic cost and procurement variables that will impact cost and schedule. SOLUTION: Our approach to cost and procurement variables is mutli- tiered. Using target value cost modeling, we develop buckets for cost allocation. As costs in each bucket become more clear, we realign the costs from other buckets to stay on budget as the risk is reduced. Establishing this cost model early and updating it regularly is how we getthe highest value out of it. We also believe that having a design side estimatorto reconcile GCCM estimates is valuable. The addition of a locally based cost estimator allows us to do a peer review of the estimate, elevating the level of accuracy in take off numbers, market expectations, and identifying gaps. We have proposed to include CDK Enterprises on ourteam for their extensive local trades and materials knowledge in Flathead County. ISSUE: Insertinga newstation into an existing neighborhood brings the community valuable benefits in terms of safety, but fostering and maintaining community support for the project is keyto make it a welcome addition. SOLUTION: The LSW+TCA Team have extensive experience in navigating the public relations side of building new public infrastructure. Authentic public engagement means getting the community to engage, listening and mitigating concerns, and keeping them appraised of developments. Together with the City, we will create a proactive public outreach strategy (Stakeholder Engagement Plan) to identify stakeholders, plan touchpoints, and to manage expectations. LSW's sister company, Riff Creative, was created for instancesjust like this. Riff will help plan the strategy forthe roll out of information and engagements. They will help to build a narrative and provide content fortelling the story. They can also be a resource for creating surveys, videos, and other information sharing mechanisms. ISSUE: Managing the complexities of delivering the project on an accelerated schedule that aligns with the delivery of new apparatus and coordination of staff forthe station. The complexity is further increased by procurement timelines and coordinating construction work with the impacts of Montana winters. SOLUTION: Our approach to establishing the schedule is to introduce a comprehensive timeline that is informed through the collaboration of representatives from all aspects that impact timing. The key is to collect input and buy in from all stakeholders in the process which includes: • Programming and validation • Design and coordination timelines • City and Fire Department review/approval timelines • Project funding timing • GCCM onboording • Agency review timelines (Land use, building permit, etc) • Anticipated construction durations • Long lead items (electrical gear, specialty equipment) • Delivery of Owner provided items (Apparatus, furniture, etc) • Weather impacts (Cold temperatures, frozen ground, snow, rain, etc) Stakeholders will be brought together in an interactive "Pull Planning" session where we can communicate sequencing and timelines. This will yield a mapping of the entire project process with clarity about the critical path, variables, sequences, and key deadlines. We anticipate that this exercise will be done as one of the first tasks in the project and then will be refined with the insight of the GCCM once they are on board. ISSUE: Introducing emergency traffic to and from this site will need to be designed for quick apparatus mobilization onto Farm to Market Road while maintaining a safe environment for the neighborhood. SOLUTION: Understanding planned improvements along Farm to Market Road will be key in planning responsive and safe vehicular patterns. Bringingtheir local knowledge and experience in solving issues like this, Heath Transportation Consulting (Heath) will propose circulation options that address response times and safety for pedestrians, bikes and other vehicles. Heath will also be an asset for Coordinated planningwith the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) forthe interface between the highway and fire station projects. LSW+TCA 1 17 3.3.5 Contract MonogementApprooch Photo: Gallatin County Public Safety Center/1 Bozeman, MT 3.3.5 - CONTRACT MANAGEMENT APPROACH C C C C a. Our Approach Project Initiation & Service Alignment LSW Architects will lead project initiation as PrimeArchitect and primary point of contact for the City, with active collaboration from TCA Architecture and the consultant team. The project will begin with a focused kickoff process to establish clear goals, decision -making authority, communication protocols, and success criteria. This early alignment ensures expectations are clearly defined and maintained throughoutthe project. Working with City leadership and Kalispell Fire Department representatives, the team will initiate a pull -planning process to establish a realistic project schedule that integrates design milestones with apparatus procurement, staffing transitions, and anticipated permitting timelines. This collaborative approach supports shared ownership of the schedule and early identification of risks. Programming & Needs Assessment - Right Sizing the Project Programming will be grounded in operational priorities and informed by proven templates from comparable fire stations. The team will evaluate existing facilities, workflows, equipment, and staffing needs to identify opportunities for improved operations and long-term adaptability. Stakeholder input will be documented alongside decisions and rationale, supporting transparency and informed decision -making. TCA will contribute fire station -specific expertise throughout programming and early design, ensuring best practices related to health, safety, resilience, and operational efficiency are integrated from the outset. Cost Control - Lowering Risk while Maintaining Value Building on the initial total project budget analysis we will continuously update our analysis as project scope and costs are refined. We have proposed a cost consultant as an integral part of the planning team, with the goal to provide cost analysis during the design process along with ongoing value analysis. Our objective is to provide decision makers the data needed to make informed and timely decisions. Cost management is embedded in every phase: • Target Value Design: A cost model will be established early and updated at every milestone, ensuring continuous alignment with the City's levy supported budget and providing clarity on capital versus operating costs. • Continuous Estimating: As the GCCM is brought on board, the cost estimate will be handed off to them. Their cost estimates will be reconciled by theA/E team's consultant to validate values and quantities. Phase by phase cost estimating by the GCCM and validation by the design team will enable the City to make transparent informed design and budget decisions. • Fiscal Responsibility: Our approach distinguishes between one- time construction costs and recurring operating expenses, providing clear information that demonstrates long-term affordability and stewardship of public resources. Schedule - Success through Collaborative Planning Drawing from the detailed project schedule developed through our initial pull planning process, the schedule and milestones become the driver to maintain project cohesion. Timely delivery is a top priority, all team members are expected to maintain the schedule. • Collaborative Scheduling: The schedule will be developed with input from all stakeholders, including the City, Kalispell Fire Department and contractors, creating a realistic and accountable roodmop. • Critical Path Management: Pull planning and regular progress reviews will ensure risks are identified early and mitigated quickly. • Permitting. Our proactive approach involves early communication with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to build a sense of collaboration and to avoid surprises in the review process. • Construction Coordination: The A/E team's extensive experience in construction administration will be responsive in support of the GCCM's fast paced construction phase while adhering to the design intention. Stakeholder Engagement - The Right Input at the Right Time In every relationship, effective communication requires exceptional listening skills. We lean into the unique expertise that each stakeholder brings. Fora project as public as the fire station, community trust and transparency are essential for success. The LSW+TCAteam excels at producing community -centered fire stations, and our experience will help the City engage effectively with a diverse range of stakeholders, including City staff and leadership as well as community members. We will work closely with you to develop a stakeholder engagement strategy and schedule. Ourapproach emphasizes early, authentic communication to build communitytrust, which is essential to achieving project goals. Our outreach strategies are highly localized and personalized to reflect unique socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of each community. We will share our insights on outreach efforts that are most effective to ensure these efforts are impactful and well -received. Our engagement strategy is anchored by: Transparent Communication: Regular updates, visualizations, and clear documentation will demonstrate how decisions are made and how community feedback is incorporated. • Community Input. Structured outreach sessions will address concerns about site impacts, traffic, and service equity while providing opportunities for residents to shape outcomes. • Strategic Decision -Making. With you, we will establish a clear decision -making framework that encourages participation from Kalispell Fire Department staff, City officials, and the community, while maintaining a defined hierarchy to ensure efficient timely decisions. b. Systems for Planning, Staffing, and Delivery Well-defined internal processes and tools enable a seamless, responsive experience forthe Kalispell Fire Department, allowing staff to remain focused on mission -critical priorities. To supportthis, the LSW+TCA team relies on the following practices: • Project Continuity: Key team members remain engaged from programming through project closeout preserving institutional knowledge and decision continuity. • Right -sized Staffing and Fees: Project staffing and fees are aligned with a clearly defined, vetted work plan that reflects project scope and complexity. • Flexible Capacity: Firm -wide capacity is maintained to accommodate shifts in schedule, workload, and project demands without disruption. • Integrated Team Workflows: LSW and TCA operate as a unified team, with established communication and coordination practices refined through multiple fire station projects.
