Our additional consultants include Morrison-Maierle, Inc. for Mechanical, Electrical and Civil Engineering, and DCI for Structural Engineering. We have extensive experience working with our consulting firms on multiple projects and look forward to bringing this team together for your project. We understand that the goal is to build a station that is functional and attractive, fits in with the neighborhood, and is cost efficient. The building will have (3) drive -through Apparatus bays that can fit two engines back-to-back or a ladder truck. Support spaces would include Decon, turn -out gear, laundry, dorms, a fitness room, dayroom with kitchen and dining, a semi -commercial kitchen, restrooms/showers, EMS supply and storage and Personal protective equipment storage. Our team feels confident we have brought a strong team to efficiently deliver this program and achieve the goals of the project. We are your advocates for your project. We recognize that you don't build buildings daily and this team should guide you through the many decisions that will come up; GC/CM vs. traditional Design/Bid/Build; Do you need an Owner's Representative or not?; How volatile is construction pricing and what should be avoided; Recognizing that each decision has cost and value implications. We have significant experience with fire stations in Montana. Helena's Fire Station #3 just started construction. The space needs were almost identical to what you are requesting; (3) drive -through Apparatus bays, 5 dorm rooms, fitness, dayroom, and the remaining spaces. The total project cost for Helena is right at $7,500,000 with the building and site construction coming right at $6,000,000. It also includes a $600,000 Fire Training Tower. Our team was just selected out of a pool of 10 firms submitting for Red Lodge Fire and Rescue for their station expansion which involves adding on three drive -through Apparatus bays. DOWLING is currently working with Columbus Fire and Rescue on planning for their current and future needs. Our recently completed stations include the Eldorado Fire Station for York Fire District in Lewis and Clark County; Montana City Fire Station #1 is an 8,700 s.f. facility outside of Helena; An 11,000 s.f. facility for the Sourdough Fire district (now Hyalite) outside of Bozeman; and Hamilton Montana's newest volunteer station that was completed in 2023. This project was completed through the GC/CM process and came in at $6.1 M and received Federal Community Development Block Grant funding. We first teamed with Shive-Hattery in 2012 for the Sourdough Fire Station outside of Bozeman. Their depth of experience with planning and design of Fire Stations is un-matched. Shive-Hattery's expertise helped save over $250,000 on that fire station, helping our team get the project completed on time and on budget. We have gone through a similar experience through the design process of Hamilton's station. Beginning the project efforts in 2021, we saw a volatile building market and were able to successfully remain on budget for their project, completing the building in September of 2023. We have included firm information, resumes of relevant team members, and project examples. These examples show the above - mentioned fire stations that all followed a strict budget and achieved program goals for growing counties. Our past experience has allowed us to achieve a strong understanding for specific systems to increase health and safety for fire fighters. In closing, the DOWLING team brings together a group of professionals that are unmatched in our collective expertise when it comes to the design of Fire Stations. Fire fighter health and safety is a key concern in modern fire station design. The implementation of "hot and cold" zones within the stations with airlocks that prevent carcinogens from entering occupied areas of the building is at the forefront of our planning approach. We work with you to understand the sequence that fire fighters go through on every call from arrival at the building at the beginning of a call to return and decontamination.

All of the f"` f ANALYTICAL PROGRAMMING DOCUMENT project examples included within this submission were completed on -time and on -budget. We strive to ensure this is done through early stakeholder involvement, regular meetings and communication, and clear expectations. Every fire station project provides unique opportunities and challenges. With DOWLING and Shive- Hattery together, we can deliver a project that will exceed expectations and fit within Flathead County. Below shows a clip of Shive-Hattery's Fire Station Planning book that was developed after many fire station case studies were completed, and is updated regularly with the newest regulations and conditions. We have gone through extensive planning exercises that separate hot and cold zones within the building to ensure fire fighter safety.

Describe your company's approach in initiating and establishing the service that meets the needs and requirements of the City. I Describe systems used for planning, scheduling, estimating and managing manpower From project beginning to final acceptance, DOWLING is your advocate. We are here to fill in the gaps where needed and provide full project management from Design through Construction Administration. Whether it's providing design, construction contracts, reviewing your contracts and contractor pricing, or helping establish and manage the total project budget, we are here to make sure this process is smooth and efficient. Once we collectively establish a project schedule, we provide a process to meet that schedule. Stakeholder design workshops, roundtable sketch sessions, and 3-D computer rendering are tools to make sure the design of the station is the best it can be. We utilize multiple tools to ensure the project stays on budget. We have a database of costs from our current and recent Fire Stations that help us estimate construction and equipment needs. We also utilize national cost databases that have regional adjusters. Lastly, we have relationships with many contractors around the State of Montana that are happy to provide budgeting assistance. Our team includes our partners at Shive Hattery with 17 offices and 650 employees. They have deep resources to help with virtually anything that may come up. CAPABILITIES & SCHEDULES As communities have a vested interest in public projects, schedules and budget alignment are important items that we factor in to projects very early on. At the beginning of the project we will set fire fighter meetings to allow everyone the opportunity to be heard on what they like/dislike about current stations and be given the opportunity to explain what they would like to see included. After these programming and planning sessions we will work through both site and floor plans to ensure the layout aligns with the budget at an early phase. We've included example construction schedules of two previous Fire Stations that were successfully completed ON -TIME and ON - BUDGET that show how the project will be completed. Getting projects on budget and keeping them on budget is something the firm is renowned for. Quite often we find that budgets are not adequate for the work desired, and we have been able to successfully complete the work within the resources available. A couple examples include Sourdough Fire Station (25% underfunded), Park High School in Livingston (15% underfunded) and Block Hall Lab building was 20% underfunded. We were able to successfully work through these projects to get them on budget and still complete their goals. SOUR DOUGH FIRE STATION DESIGN SCHEDULE EXAMPLE ARCHITECTURE INTERIORS PLANNING 9.

LIND ,AV W AIA►Kc Lindsay is a professional landscape architect with nine years of experience. A lover of the outdoors, painting and gardening, the tactile world of landscape architecture captured Lindsay's curiosity and led her to pursue a Master of Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota. Over the past nine years, she has gained experience in various project types including mixed -use commercial, parks and recreation, trails, higher education and K-12 schools, with projects as far asYosemite and as close as 100 feet from her office in Wenatchee. Her interest in technicalities and problem -solving has led her to delight in working out the nifty -gritty details while keeping in mind the big picture.Through the collaborative design process- Lindsay aims to create landscapes that evoke, engage, and enrich, and asks the question- how can landscapes better connect us to both nature and each other.
