IiL�J CITY OF KALISPEL I KALISPEL FIRE STATION 63 1 03,18,2026 04 ■ PROJECT UNDERSTANDING ■ & APPROACH ■ SECTION 4 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH A. DESCRIBE YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE CURRENT NEEDS OF THE CITY OF KALISPELL FOR THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BEING REQUESTED The City of Kalispell is seeking a highly skilled architectural and engineering partner capable of delivering a durable, efficient, and future -ready fire station that aligns with the City's operational priorities and long-term service expectations. The new Fire Station 63 will serve as a vital public safety facility, and the City's focus is on designing a building that emphasizes function over form, supports 24/7 emergency response, and reflects Kalispell's commitment to resilience, maintainability, and value -driven design Our team understands that this facility must be designed to support specialized program elements, including apparatus bays, hot/warm/cold zone separation, decontamination workflows, PPE storage, fitness and dorm spaces, redundant systems, and energy -efficient mechanical and electrical systems, all while staying within the cost limits of the levy -funded budget. Based on our recent kickoff meeting in Kalispell and ongoing work in Flathead County, we recognize the importance of providing a clear, transparent process, early cost alignment, flexible procurement strategies, and continuous communication with City staff to ensure the project progresses smoothly from programming through construction. We also understand that success will require proactive collaboration with local contractors, thoughtful structural planning for local soils and seismic conditions, and an approach that supports a 50+ year building lifecycle. B. IDENTIFY AND DISCUSS ANY POTENTIAL DIFFICULT ISSUES YOUR COMPANY MAY FACE IN PROVIDING SERVICES WITHIN FLATHEAD COUNTY Working in Flathead County presents several challenges that are important to address upfront, based on our experience delivering multiple projects in the region, including Whitefish and surrounding communities: LOCAL CONTRACTOR MARKET CONSTRAINTS: The regional contractor and subcontractor pool is generally strong but mainly experienced with residential and light commercial projects. For a mission -critical, long -duration fire station facility, this might cause expectations to mismatch regarding quality, sequencing, documentation, and long-term performance standards. PROCUREMENT AND MATERIAL AVAILABILITY: Because of geographic isolation and variable supply chains, some specialty materials, equipment, and systems might have long lead times or limited availability locally. Starting procurement early is crucial to keep on budget and schedule. COMMUNICATION AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT: Without proactive oversight, contractors might make undocumented substitutions or field changes that could harm quality, durability, and long-term maintainability. SUii-S AiVU SIIL CONDITIONS: Several nearby projects have encountered difficult subgrade conditions, such as clay soils, seasonal saturation, high water tables, and varying bearing capacities. These issues can greatly impact foundation design, construction methods, and long-term settlement behavior. RURAL PROJECT DYNAMICS: Working in smaller communities requires a different mindset than large urban markets. Decisions are often shaped by personal relationships, local context, and trust built over time. Successful projects depend on clear, direct communication, flexibility with agency review processes, and a hands-on approach to stakeholder engagement. C. IDENTIFY AND DISCUSS METHODS TO MITIGATE THESE DIFFICULTIES. Based on recent project experience in Flathead County, our team has developed proven strategies to effectively navigate and mitigate the challenges of delivering a fire station project in this region: EARLY AND CONSISTENT ENGAGEMENT WITH LOCAL CONTRACTORS: We assist in targeted early outreach sessions with local general contractors and key subs to understand their capabilities, workload, product familiarity, and supply chains. This helps create more accurate cost estimates, increases buy -in, and reduces surprises during bidding and construction. CLEAR QUALITY EXPECTATIONS AND FIRM CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION: We establish clear performance standards early and reinforce them through thorough submittal reviews, on -site observation, scheduled communication touchpoints, and a firm stance on managing substitutions. When needed, we strongly advocate for the city to uphold quality and prevent shortcuts. FLEXIBLE, BUDGET DRIVEN DESIGN SOLUTIONS: Our team prioritizes designing within the City's budget from the start, incorporating alternate bid strategies, flexible materials, and value -targeted methods that sustain performance while responding to actual market conditions. ROBUST STRUCTURAL AND GEOTECHNICAL PLANNING: Given known soil variability in the area, we prioritize: • Early geotechnical investigations, • Structural design adapts to subgrade moisture and clay behavior, • Drainage and foundation systems are designed to handle seasonal changes, and • Compliance with seismic requirements specific to the region. ADAPTATION TO SMALL TOWN PROCESSES AND CULTURE: Our team members have extensive experience working in rural Mountain West communities and understand the communication norms, local expectations, and relationship -driven nature of project delivery in the region. We tailor our approach to build trust, promote transparency, and ensure clear communication with City staff, reviewers, and local partners. 05 ■ CONTRACT MANAGEMENT ■ APPROACH 1$ - �,ti� 1 • ! .y z�. I SECTION 5 CONTRACT MANAGEMENT APPROACH A. DESCRIBE YOUR COMPANY'S APPROACH IN INITIATING AND ESTABLISHING THE SERVICE THAT MEETS THE NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY. OZ Architecture's approach is built on a proven, highly collaborative method refined over decades of work on public safety facilities. Our process stresses alignment, transparency, and early identification of operational priorities, ensuring the City receives a clear, actionable, and budget -friendly roadmap from the start. Each phase of our work seeks to reduce risk, eliminate uncertainty, and support the City's decision -making throughout the project. Additionally, our partnership with NV5 as the owner's representative strengthens this approach by fostering clear communication, speeding up problem resolution, and guaranteeing that the City's interests are prioritized at every stage of project development. 1. COMPREHENSIVE FACILITY ASSESSMENT Our facility assessment process is based on a thorough understanding of how firefighters really use their space. We begin with: • A kickoff meeting to align goals, constraints, and expectations. • Review of prior strategic and capital planning documents, ensuring continuity with the City's long term vision. • A full site and facility evaluation, analyzing building systems, circulation, zoning, clean/contaminated transition risks, and opportunities for spatial reallocation. This process mirrors the same rigorous assessment approach we use across dozens of stations and municipal clients, such as South Metro, Monument Fire District, and Denver Fire, where early definition of program and budget prevents downstream redesign and cost overruns. This early definition ensures the project starts with clarity about deficiencies, operational constraints, and health and safety considerations. 2. PROGRAMMING & STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOPS One of OZ's key advantages is our well -planned programming and charrette process, a system designed to prevent surprises, minimize unsolicited input later, and build strong consensus early on. For Kalispell, we will hold two to three facilitated workshops involving Fire Department leadership, firefighters, City representatives, and essential operational staff. These work sessions typically include a program development and design charrette, a mechanical systems evaluation, and an energy efficiency session. During these meetings, we use our advanced 3D visualization tools early on to help clients clearly understand spatial requirements and explore options interactively. This immersive approach improves decision - making and ensures all stakeholders share a common vision from the start. • Confirm operational needs, growth plans, and staffing projections. • Discuss living quarter configurations to support staffing with appropriate privacy and comfort. • Map out improved bay to living quarters separation, gear circulation, and decontamination pathways. • Validate spatial adjacency requirements for kitchen, dayroom, admin areas, fitness, and training functions. • Review architectural character • Provide recommendations for applicable mechanical systems Our charrettes differ from typical architects in three key ways: Visual & Immersive Tools: We offer 3D vignettes, diagrams, and visual prompts so stakeholders can respond to real options. This is demonstrated in our immersive room, where stakeholders can virtually walk around the site, building, and interior spaces to truly experience the design. Transparent Decision Making: Every preference, constraint, and operational insight is documented in a Program Charrette Deliverable, which is shared with the client and the full design team. This reduces miscommunication and ensures alignment throughout the design process. This focused and unique programming effort results in better, more accurate outcomes earlier in the design stage. Guided Expertise: OZ doesn't just record input; we guide fire leadership to make thoughtful, informed decisions by explaining how each option affects operations, resilience, durability, budget, and the overall function of the building. Please see examples of the charrette (workshop) materials on the following pages. 3. SCHEMATIC DESIGN Using the validated program and concept design, we develop multiple schematic design pathways that address: • Modernized living quarters and restrooms • Upgraded kitchen/dayroom size, functionality, and durability • Dedicated fitness areas relocated out of the apparatus bay • Improved gear storage, clean/contaminated zoning, and circulation • Efficient site planning for the new drill/training pad west of the station • Mechanical systems design work session • Architectural massing • Site layout and apparatus circulation verifications • Initial cost estimate and final cost estimates at the end of schematic design Each concept is paired with diagrams, renderings, circulation studies, and preliminary cost modeling to prevent overdesign and reduce late -stage value engineering. 4. COMMUNICATION & COLLABORATION OZ's communication systems are refined and modeled after the successful structure used during decades of public safety projects with teams of various sizes and backgrounds, including: • Bi weekly check ins with City and department staff (virtual or onsite). • Clear hierarchy of decision makers and team leaders • Shared access to meeting notes, decisions, documents, and models via cloud based platforms. • Transparent issue tracking and continuous documentation. Our clients consistently state that OZ stands out from competitors due to our transparency, responsiveness, and quality of documentation. SECTION 5 CONTRACT MANAGEMENT APPROACH PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGY: Our typical programming process starts with a collaborative work session, often called a charrette, where we gather stakeholder input, operational needs, and project goals. In this stage, we break down the facility into functional categories, quantify spatial requirements, and establish key relationships between program components. The resulting program is both a space inventory and a strategic plan, ensuring we understand not only what spaces are needed but also how they must support workflow, safety, efficiency, and long-term flexibility. PROGRAM FROM CHARRETTE Once the program is established, we convert those requirements into adjacency studies, diagrammatic layouts, and initial floor plan concepts. These iterative visual tools help test circulation patterns, functional separations, and response sequences before any architectural form is defined. Moving from data to diagrams to early plan studies, we develop a clear, shared understanding of how the program will guide the project's design.

We have successfully completed more than sixteen projects, consistently creating facilities that are operationally excellent, fiscally responsible, and highly regarded by the I agencies they serve. By combining architectural excellence with t disciplined owner -side project leadership, our teams develop a I unified delivery model that reduces risk, increases efficiency, and enhances client outcomes from concept to construction. OZ Architecture and NV5 have established one of the region's most experienced and trusted partnerships, delivering fire stations, training facilities, and emergency communications centers. Our collaboration includes feasibility studies, remodeling, additions, new fire stations, master planning, and disciplined design and construction oversight, resulting in a coordinated approach that aligns operational needs with responsible capital investment. While we work effectively in traditional architect and owner's representative roles under separate agreements, results are especially strong when operating under a single prime contract from the beginning. In such integrated projects, planning, design, and construction are completed more efficiently and with higher client satisfaction, exemplified by the delivery of Big Sky Fire Station No. 3 near the Yellowstone Club entrance. Together, our firms have supported a diverse array of fire departments, fire protection districts, and emergency communications agencies, including South Metro Fire Authority, South Adams County Fire Department, West Metro Fire Protection District, Upper Pine River Fire Protection District, City of Westminster Fire Department, Poudre Fire Authority, Monument Fire Department, Summit Fire & EMS, Red, White & Blue Fire Protection District, and Jeffcom911. In these efforts, the close partnership between the architect and the owner's representative has allowed agencies to progress from early feasibility and planning through design and construction with clarity, discipline, and a common focus on delivering facilities that improve firefighter safety, operational readiness, and long-term community value. Both firms approach the development of mission -critical public safety facilities with the responsibility of serving as subject matter I experts. We share a commitment to setting a high standard of excellence and continuously elevating expectations for quality, performance, and client satisfaction. When working together under this shared vision, each with clearly defined responsibilities, our combined expertise becomes a force multiplier, creating highly effective teams and delivering facilities that consistently achieve exceptional outcomes and award -winning results.

DESCRIBE SYSTEMS USED FOR PLANNING, SCHEDULING, ESTIMATING AND MANAGING MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS. OZ Architecture uses a clear, well -organized, and highly coordinated project management system built to align planning, scheduling, cost control, and staffing with the City's goals from start to finish. Our method balances agility with the expertise of a multidisciplinary team, ensuring responsive leadership supported by strong internal resources. PLANNING & PROJECT INITIATION: We start each engagement by creating a clear work plan that details goals, tasks, responsibilities, deliverables, and decision - making paths. This plan is shared with all stakeholders at project kickoff and regularly updated as the project moves forward. Open communication, proactive problem solving, and a strong sense of accountability foster a unified team environment and promote efficient project execution. Our planning tools include: • A structured project work plan with milestones, deadlines, and review checkpoints • Cloud -based collaboration platforms for sharing drawings, meeting notes, decisions, and models • Weekly internal coordination meetings to monitor progress, resolve issues, and adjust staffing or task assignments • Transparent issue tracking to ensure design decisions and client needs are documented and addressed promptly This disciplined framework establishes alignment early and supports consistent project momentum. SCHEDULING SYSTEMS OZ focuses on building the project schedule collaboratively with the client. We usually start the project with a milestone schedule that outlines all major phases, including programming, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, construction administration, and closeout. Our scheduling systems include: • Milestone schedules developed with City input • Weekly task -level schedules, updated at each phase • Regular internal and client check -ins to monitor progress and adjust timelines • Early identification of deviations, with a corrective action path immediately established Effective schedule management keeps all team members aligned, reduces inefficiencies, and ensures resources are allocated strategically. Continuous monitoring allows us to identify challenges early and sustain steady progress through all phases of design. With more than 120 employees across the firm, we have the internal capacity to quickly add staff as needed to meet schedule commitments. ESTIMATING & COST MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Cost awareness is integrated into every stage of our design process. We rely on internal benchmarking, historical cost data, consultant input, and third -party estimates to keep the project within the City's budget. Our cost management systems include: • Early conceptual cost modeling • Cost estimates at key milestones, including Schematic Design and Design Development • Cost reconciliation meetings with estimators • Structured value targeted design exercises when needed to maintain alignment • Transparent communication of any scope budget risks If cost misalignment is detected, we initiate a targeted Cost Reduction Exercise (CRE) to collaboratively evaluate building systems, materials, and design strategies to realign the project without compromising long-term operational needs. MANPOWER PLANNING & STAFFING MANAGEMENT: OZ maintains a dedicated project team with clear roles and a defined chain of communication. The Principal, Project Manager, and discipline leads regularly assess workload, deadlines, and staffing needs to ensure sufficient manpower throughout the project. Our manpower management systems include: • Weekly internal reviews of staffing allocations • Dynamic assignment of additional team members if project needs shift • Early engagement of consultants to ensure aligned deliverable schedules • Coordination meetings with consultants to track progress and confirm appropriate advancement • Firm wide resource availability that allows us to scale staffing efficiently This system guarantees we maintain continuity throughout project phases, meet deliverable commitments, and support the City with a dependable, responsive team. QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEMS Quality control is integrated into every stage of our workflow and starts at the beginning of each project. Our QA/QC framework includes: • A tailored quality control plan shared with all team members • Formal interim reviews at each design milestone • Internal QA/QC checklists used across disciplines • Senior technical reviewers who provide thorough, independent review • Program Charrette Deliverables documenting all client needs, preferences, and design considerations By ensuring all decisions are documented, reviewed, and aligned with project goals, our QC process maintains design clarity, technical accuracy, and client satisfaction.

RELEVANT FACTORS IMPACTING THE QUALITY AND VALUE OF SERVICE. FOCUSED FIRE STATION EXPERTISE OZ Architecture's quality of service is driven by over twenty years of dedicated fire station design experience. Our public safety team understands the operational, cultural, and technical demands of modern fire departments, enabling us to quickly identify priorities, anticipate challenges, and deliver designs that support efficient response, daily operations, and long-term adaptability. This extensive experience minimizes risk, accelerates decision -making, and results in facilities that perform as intended from day one. OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND FIREFIGHTER WELLNESS Our design approach balances operational efficiency with firefighter health and wellness. Through structured programming and direct engagement with department leadership and staff, we establish clear adjacencies, efficient circulation, and suitably sized spaces. We consistently apply proven strategies for contamination control, acoustics, daylight, and indoor environmental quality, enhancing safety, sleep quality, and long-term workforce well- being, key factors for organizational effectiveness and value. DURABILITY AND LIFE -CYCLE VALUE OZ emphasizes durable, low -maintenance buildings built for long- lasting use. Early design choices are guided by life -cycle cost analysis, material durability, and system resilience, especially in tough climates. This strategy safeguards public investment by lowering maintenance needs, minimizing operational disruptions, and keeping facilities functional and up-to-date for many years. COST CLARITY AND PREDICTABLE OUTCOMES Value is strengthened through early cost awareness and disciplined decision -making. Our process combines cost estimating and constructability considerations early on, enabling departments to evaluate options clearly and avoid costly redesigns or value engineering later. This transparency promotes confident decisions that align scope, budget, and operational goals. COLLABORATIVE AND CONTEXT -SENSITIVE DELIVERY The quality of our service is strengthened by a collaborative process that aligns stakeholders and reflects community context. We combine OZ's fire station expertise with local and regional consultants familiar with permitting, construction markets, and site conditions. This balance improves responsiveness, coordination, and project continuity while reinforcing community investment and trust.
