MCP specializes in concrete repair and restoration, surface preparation, polished concrete, resinous fiooring and coatings, waterprooflng and traffic coatings, joint repair and sealants, and other specialty concrete services. Our experience ranges from smaller maintenance and repair needs, such as correcting sidewalk trip hazards, patching damaged concrete, sealing joints and cracks, and restoring existing concrete surfaces, to larger commercial and public construction projects requiring extensive surface preparation, repair, polishing, or protective coating systems. MCP regularly works directly with facility owners and public entities as well as general contractors and has extensive experience performing work within the requirements of publicly procured construction. The following projects represent a selection of MCP's recent work that demonstrates our experience with the types of concrete maintenance, repair, restoration, and improvement projects that may arise under the City's qualifled contractor program. Relevant Project Experience 1. GALLATIN COUNTY COURTS BUILDING Bozeman, Montana | 2024 Client: Martel Construction / Gallatin County Contact: Travis Kabalin Phone: (406) 599-3155 Scope: Concrete fioor polishing, joint fllling, and resinous fioor coatings MCP completed the specialty concrete fiooring scope for the new Gallatin County Courts Building in Bozeman. Work included installation of a full aggregate exposure polished concrete fioor system along with a polyaspartic coating system in the holding areas. The project demonstrates MCP's ability to provide multiple specialty concrete fiooring systems within a public facility while coordinating with the general contractor, other trades, and the requirements of a commercial construction schedule. 4 2. GALLATIN COUNTY MORGUE AND EVIDENCE BAY Bozeman, Montana | 2026 Client: Haselden / Gallatin County Contact: Levi Prevost Phone: (406) 333-8823 Scope: Concrete surface preparation and resinous fioor coatings MCP completed the resinous fiooring scope for the Gallatin County Morgue in Bozeman. Work included mechanical surface preparation and installation of a seamless resinous fioor coating system throughout designated areas of the facility. The completed system provides Gallatin County with a durable, chemically resistant, and easily cleanable fioor surface appropriate for the sanitary requirements of a morgue facility. 3. LAST CHANCE GULCH PARKING STRUCTURE RETROFIT Helena, Montana | 2026 Client: Sletten Construction / State of Montana Contact: Colt Castlebury Phone: (406) 836-0104 Scope: Concrete surface preparation, epoxy moisture vapor control, joint sealants, detailing, and polyurethane waterproof traffic coatings MCP completed the traffic coating scope on a new post-tensioned concrete parking structure in downtown Helena. Elevated moisture levels within the new concrete required installation of a moisture mitigation system prior to application of an extra-heavy-duty Sika polyurethane traffic coating system. MCP's work also included caulking of concrete joints, vertical coating applications, and extensive detailing at transitions, penetrations, edges, and other structural features. The project required careful coordination of work in a busy downtown environment while managing weather-dependent installation requirements and critical project deadlines. MCP successfully completed the system within these constraints, providing a waterproof, traffic-bearing surface designed to protect the new concrete deck from vehicle traffic, moisture, and deicing chemicals. 5 4. DOYLES SHEEHAN Missoula, Montana | 2018 – 2026 Client: Doyles Sheehan Missoula & Coeur d’Alene Contact: Pat Coulter Phone: (406) 543-5100 ext. 8212 Scope: Industrial concrete repair, grinding, scarifying and milling, trip-hazard correction, crack and joint repair, epoxy mortar repairs, densiflcation, and concrete sealing MCP has provided ongoing concrete repair and maintenance services at the Doyles Sheehan distribution facility in Missoula for several years. Work has included concrete grinding, scarifying, and milling to correct height variations; scarifying of exterior concrete to eliminate pedestrian trip hazards; major crack and joint repairs; epoxy mortar surface repairs; joint caulking; and chemical densiflcation and sealing of existing concrete surfaces. The facility remains operational during this work, requiring MCP to coordinate repairs around active warehouse operations and heavy forklift traffic. Repairs improve fioor continuity and safety, reduce impacts to forklift tires and equipment, improve cleaning and maintenance, and protect the concrete from continued deterioration. Many repairs completed by MCP years ago remain in service today, and Doyles Sheehan continues to rely on MCP as new concrete maintenance and repair needs arise. This ongoing relationship allows the owner to address concrete problems as they develop, extend the useful life of its facility, and minimize disruption to its distribution operations. 5. BOZEMAN HOT SPRINGS Bozeman, Montana | 2026 Client: Langlas & Associates / Bozeman Hot Springs Contact: Andy Barham Phone: (406) 586-6492 Scope: Moisture mitigation, epoxy mortar sloping and substrate correction, concrete surface preparation, and decorative quartz resinous fiooring MCP completed specialty fiooring improvements within the shower areas at Bozeman Hot Springs following removal of the existing shower pans and installation of new trench drains. After preparing the substrate and installing a moisture vapor control primer, MCP used epoxy mortar to rebuild the shower fioors by hand, establishing new slopes and transitions 6 to properly direct water to the shower and trench drains. The work required careful integration with existing tile and other flnishes that remained in place. Because the work occurred during a planned facility shutdown, MCP coordinated closely with Langlas & Associates to complete the installation within the limited construction window and minimize the impact to facility operations. The completed decorative quartz resinous fiooring system provides Bozeman Hot Springs with a seamless, durable, and easily cleanable surface while maintaining proper drainage throughout the renovated shower areas. 6. PROVIDENCE ST. PATRICK HOSPITAL Missoula, Montana | 2018 – 2026 Client: Providence St. Patrick Hospital Contact: Tim Chopp Phone: (406) 542-9150 Scope: Concrete surface preparation, grinding and leveling, protective coating systems, and miscellaneous concrete repairs MCP has completed numerous concrete fiooring, coating, and maintenance projects at Providence St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula over the years. Work has included installation of a protective coating system at the hospital helipad, a coating system within the ambulance bay, and miscellaneous concrete grinding and leveling to correct existing surface conditions throughout the facility. The ongoing relationship requires MCP to coordinate work around the needs of an active healthcare campus where access, scheduling, safety, and minimizing disruption to facility operations are critical. MCP's ability to address both planned improvements and miscellaneous concrete maintenance needs has allowed Providence to utilize MCP for a variety of specialty concrete projects as needs arise. CITY OF BOZEMAN EXPERIENCE MCP has not performed work directly for the City of Bozeman to date. MCP has, however, completed numerous projects throughout Bozeman and Gallatin County, including work for Gallatin County and other commercial and institutional clients. MCP also has experience working directly with municipal owners, including resinous fiooring work for the City of Missoula Parks and Recreation Department. 7 MCP PERSONNEL MCP hires, trains, and retains its own in-house personnel to perform its specialty concrete services. Our crews are experienced in concrete grinding, repair, polishing, resinous fiooring, waterprooflng, caulking, coating installations, and related specialty concrete services. MCP does not rely on seasonal hiring and layoffs to staff its work. Several fleld employees have been with MCP for more than flve years and continue to receive hands-on training as the company adds new equipment, products, and installation methods. City projects will be supported by MCP’s existing management and fleld personnel, with crews assigned based on the speciflc needs of each project. When a project includes work outside of MCP’s specialty services, MCP also has the experience and contractor relationships necessary to coordinate and subcontract additional work as needed.

MCP operates from locations in Missoula and Belgrade and works directly with owners and facility managers as well as general contractors. MCP specializes in concrete repair and restoration, surface preparation, polished concrete, resinous fiooring and coatings, waterprooflng and traffic coatings, joint repair and sealants, moisture mitigation, concrete leveling, and related specialty concrete services. MCP’s President also brings approximately 30 years of general contracting experience prior to founding MCP, providing the company with a strong understanding of construction scheduling, coordination, budgeting, and working alongside other trades. MCP owns and maintains industry-leading equipment for its specialty concrete work, including high-production grinding and polishing equipment, scariflers, milling and planing equipment, dust collection systems, crack and joint preparation equipment, mixing and pumping equipment, and specialized tools for resinous coating installations. MCP’s larger grinding equipment is remote operated, allowing multiple operators to produce consistent results across large areas while improving production and efficiency. High-production equipment and integrated dust control allow MCP to reduce work durations, limit disruption, and work efficiently within active facilities. MCP’s strength is its specialization and experience with concrete surfaces, supported by established relationships with material manufacturers, suppliers, general contractors, and repeat clients. As a specialty contractor, MCP does not attempt to self-perform trades outside of its expertise and coordinates with the Owner, general contractor, or other qualifled trades when work extends beyond MCP’s capabilities. MCP maintains an annual business volume of approximately $2–5 million and is flnancially stable and bondable. Bid, performance, and payment bonds can be obtained on a project- speciflc basis when required. MCP does not anticipate any flnancial or bonding limitations associated with work performed under this contract. 9 FIRM WORKLOAD MCP maintains multiple fleld crews operating from its Missoula and Belgrade locations and has the personnel, equipment, and resources necessary to support its current workload while taking on additional projects. The Belgrade location provides a local base of operations for Bozeman-area work and allows MCP to respond efficiently as maintenance, repair, and improvement needs arise. MCP understands that the purpose of this contract is to provide the City with qualifled contractors that can respond when work is needed. For reasonably deflned scopes, MCP will generally provide requested pricing within three business days and is prepared to target mobilization within 14 calendar days following authorization to proceed. Mobilization is subject to material availability, site readiness, weather and environmental conditions, and coordination with the City. When conditions allow, MCP will make every effort to accommodate more urgent requests. MCP is interested in supporting the City with projects of varying size and complexity, including smaller maintenance and repair needs. We understand that a small repair can still be important to the operation, safety, or maintenance of a City facility and intend to provide the same level of responsiveness and communication to these requests as we do to larger projects. City requests will be coordinated through a designated MCP point of contact who will be responsible for receiving requests, coordinating site visits and pricing, and communicating scheduling and project requirements with MCP's operations team. MCP manages schedules and budgets through early coordination, clear deflnition of scope, realistic scheduling, and direct communication. Material lead times, access requirements, cure times, environmental conditions, and other factors that could affect cost or schedule will be identifled as early as possible so the City has good information before work begins. CLAIMS MCP has never been assessed or paid liquidated damages on a project with a public owner or any other client during the company's history. 10 REFERENCES 1.
