Below is a description of what BIM is and what it can do for your project. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility.A BI M is a 3D,4D or 5D model of a project that is used to allow 1 project team members to make more informed, more timely and more cost conscious decisions throughout the life of the project.Autodesk NavisWorks is the tool of choice for 1 Dick Anderson's BIM Coordination projects. 1 NavisWorks allows us to display, manipulate and utilize various models from different model software types in the same screen to see how they coincide together. Below is a list 1 of models we can include in the display. HVAC Electrical Fire protection Architectural Building maintenance , Civil Concrete Piping Structural Telecommunications 1 - i Clash detection is one of the essential tools of any BIM Coordination process. NavisWorks allows us to check any 2 sets of elements against each other using a massive set of options and restrictions to allow users to set up any boundaries that may apply to either of the +L% two elements. Responsibility can be assigned to any interference and the progress of the resolution of any clash can easily be tracked. NavisWorks allows for the coordination of various trades and discipline to occur in the same physical and modeling space. Not only does this allow for clash detection, but this allows for constructability and logistical issues to be discovered, discussed and resolved prior to their less timely appearance onsite. NavisWorks allows a schedule and model to be intimately tied together item by item and �- r for a model to be visually built according to the project schedule. This visual relationship r„ provides construction crews with more accurate time deliveries, installation sequences �p'r a and discovered logistical hurdles before they present themselves as issues that need to be dealt with in real time.Strategies regarding use of equipment, property protection,material staging and public access can be made earlier and with more clarity. The ultimate objective of NavisWorks and the entire BIM Coordination process is to save time and money for all parties involved. Owners,designers, general contractors and I subcontracts all reap the benefit of a fully coordinated project by experiencing: ► Less design conflict ► Greater understanding of design intent ► More accurate scheduling ► Fewer assumptions .. ' ► General superior understanding of all aspects of µ' the project These benefits result in less cost changes and a .W . shorter construction sequence. i lio1ftlftl% 2.b.

CLAIMS DAC does not currently have any lawsuits in progress. DAC has not had a legitimate claim against our payment or performance bonds. DAC has not been terminated on a project. DAC has not been declared in default on a project. DAC has not taken legal action or dispute resolution proceedings against an Owner. DAC has been assessed liquidated damages on the following projects: DEARBORN REST E AREA We were assessed liquidated damages in excess or$5,000 for delivering this design build project 21 days late.We ran into difficulties in gaining approval from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality for the Non-Degratory septic system.The final approval of this system was received after contract time had expired.We were able to compress the duration of installation of this system down to only 15 days,however, even with this acceleration we turned the project over to the Owner behind schedule. MILK RIVER BRIDGE Harlem, MT—We were assessed liquidated damages in excess of$5,000 for delivering this project approximately 12 days late. We approached the project with the sequencing plan that we would remove the existing bridge after the new bridge was constructed, rather than removing the existing bridge prior to starting construction of the new bridge. Even though the new bridge and roadway were complete within the contract duration,we could not remove the e)osting bridge until the water level dropped below flood stage,and were therefore delayed in removing the existing bridge.This was not viewed by the MDT as an excusable weather event as we could have removed the bridge the previous fall.Obviously,had we known that we would have record water levels in the Milk River well into the summer months of 2011 rather than typical water levels,we would have removed the bridge the previous fall and averted these liquidated damages.

PROJECT APPROACH i Our first initial step will be to sit down and make sure we have a full understanding of your program including goals and desires.This is your project a and we want to make your desires a reality. Having a clear understanding from the beginning will allow the project to proceed with a clear focus and minimum interruptions. t During pre-construction Kirk Scheel and Jake Van Dusen, our project managers, will assist the team in constructability reviews and preliminary estimating. Greg Schermele, our proposed superintendent, will also bring his wealth of field experience to the table and become involved with constructability reviews. We will provide the team members with value constructability reviews to help evaluate methods and desired materials. Constructability trade off reviews will continually be performed as design progresses. DAC never takes for granted that just because a method or solution was correct on one project then it will be correct on all projects. We go through our pricing exercises on every project, every time. For example,a deep foundation system like micropiles may be more cost effective on one project, but more expensive on another due to varying soil conditions. We will provide preliminary estimates at the completion of 30%, 50%, and 75% design. This allows the team to maintain budget and make adjustments as the design progresses. Budget and design will be refined as we progress through each stage ensuring we are constantly staying within your desired budget.This process saves the project time and money by allowing the architect to proceed with design without havingto go backwards and re-design a significant portion of the project because of cost overruns on bid day. i i Our preliminary estimates will contain a detailed breakdown by division to match the architect's specification manual. Each division will contain a detailed breakdown of materials and labor. We compile our breakdown based of historical cost data from past similar projects. We procure real numbers from vendors and subcontractors,and specifically with mechanical and electrical components to assist us with creating a true GMP number. Experience has taught Dick Anderson Construction that acquiring insight and experience from a qualified mechanical and electrical contractor during pre-construction phases can make the difference in whether the project stays within budget or not. We have found that compensating these subcontractors for their formal estimating services provides a much more accurate estimate and minimizes the amount of contingency that needs to 4 be placed upon the project budget. We are willing and able to establish a GMP at any stage in the design,but we will adjust the contingency accordingly.We propose to submit a GMP at 90%complete design, however,we will establish the GMP at the design stage that the TEAM finds most advantageous. Historically, DAC has had great success in working with design teams in an effort to keep each GC/CM project within the desired budget. Below is the estimating history of 3 of the most recent GC/CM projects. Keep in mind that each project,each owner and each design stage is managed and organized differently.Therefore,as the design gets closer to completion and the estimates get more and more firm, MSU College of Business SD Estimate: $13,300,000.00 -\.

This helps us include as many contractors as possible to get the most competitive pricing the market can provide.We also try to minimize second I tier subcontractors and reduce pass thru mark-ups, as well as eliminating any redundant scopes of work. When the bid packages and plans are complete we will ask the City of Bozeman for a list of their desired vendors and subcontractors to 1 ensure they have a chance to bid the project. In conjunction to this list, DAC will make their recommendations based on subcontractor past performance on whom to additionally to place on the list.Our history in dealing with subcontractors all around the state will help us ensure the subcontractors prequalified for this project are capable of delivering this project within the parameters of the schedule. I Upon receipt of bids,we will engage the entire team to help us evaluate and make awards based upon the low responsible bid. 1 COST MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION I The final state of cost management is to track the actual use of project funds.We will keep close tabs on all budget allowances and contingencies. I In doing so,we will also work to maintain full transparency all of these expected and unexpected costs in an effort to keep all members of the project team involved and up to speed on the finances of the project. I We will use Procore Technologies as the project's cloud based document control systems and will provide access to all members of the project team.This access will allow any user to review all potential, expected and real costs at any time the user desires. 3.a.ii. COLLABORATION WITH THE DESIGN TEAM I Dick Anderson Construction's philosophy on the best way to integrate the GCCM delivery method with the Project Team is simple- Immerse ourselves in the project from day one. 1 • Take pride of ownership into the project • Understand the Owners Project Vision 10 Understand the needs and desires of the Project • Understand all team members roles and responsibilities • Make all team members accountable. 3.a.iii. ASSISISTING THE DESIGNERS BIM -3D SPACIAL COORDINATION DAC's commitment to assisting the design team will be focused around a full design based 3D spatial coordination effort.We will host and manage numerous 3D model coordination meetings in an effort to both identify issues to be resolved during design but also, and arguable more important,as a method to increases communication about all the intricacies of the Bozeman Police and Court Facility'' I , t j t t ( 3.a.iii. ASSISISTING THE DESIGNERS t QUALITY OF THE PROJECT DOCUMENTS AND CONSTRUCTABILITY t There is simply no substitution for getting the entire team to sit down and throughly review the plans.This needs to inlclude the Superintendent, Project Engineer,and other field staff.Considerable time should be spent as groups and as individuals reviewing the project documents. Weekly meetings held with the pre-construction helps to improve plan clarity and keep everyone focused on project quality. These ( weekly meetings will include team members from the following: I0 City of Bozeman ( • Thinkone Architects • Morrison-Maierle Engineers t • Dick Anderson Construction ( ALTERNATIVE METHODS AND PRODUCTS I There is simply no substitution for getting the entire team to sit down and thoroughly review the plans and model.This needs to include the I Superintendent, Project Engineer, and other field staff. Considerable time should be spent as groups and as individuals using the model as a I talking point about challenges of access,constructability and efficiency. BUDGETS& ESTIMATING ( We will work closely with the design team to continuously hunt for better and more efficient ways to provide what is desired. Moreover,we will t work to understand the design intent and objectives as a part of our assistance to the design team.This understanding of the design intent when consider budgets will allow DAC to offer suggestions and ideas to the design team that can actually be acted on.Anyone can find a cheaper ( product,but without understanding the need for the product,alternate suggestions are often a waste of breath, 1 3.a.iv. SAFELY BUILDING A PROJECT Please refer to section 3.b,vii. 3.ax. MAINTAINING GOOD RELATIONS We at Dick Anderson understand the utmost importance of being a positive and contributing member to any community. Construction is an evasive process and one where neighbors, and at times even owners, may not be pleased the process is occurring at all. Understanding the balance between a project's progress and its impact on the surrounding community is always on our mind. Keeping this understanding has resulted in positive community relationships that have grown projects which required construction on active campuses, retrofitting of buildings in use,and crowd access&safety management. r As 3.b.i. COST ESTIMATING We recognize the project budget is usually the first and foremost priority for every one of the project team members.We have NEVER been involved with a negotiated,design/build,CM or other type of alternatively delivered project where the project did not become a reality for the owner due to budget constraints.Our large historical cost database and construction experience allows us to help develop realistic budgets and maintain those budgets through the completion of the project.Our approach to developing and maintaining budgets is as follows, I. SET A REALISTIC INITIAL PROJECT BUDGET • Compare scope of work to owner's conceptual costs 2. DEVELOP A CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATE • Historical cost database is used from similar past projects to compare scope of work • Actual costs from similar past projects is used to develop a cost estimate • Cost estimate is presented to the rest of the team for approval 3. PRELIMINARY LINE ITEM ESTIMATE • Development of the following occur concurrnetly as design documents are progressing. • Quantity Take-Offs • Material Pricing • Equipment Rates • Subcontractor Square Footage Costs • Altematives to materials and systems will be considered on a continual basis • System Function, Budget and Schedule Constraints are always being examined • Formal Preliminary Estimate at 50%and 75%completion of drawings • GMP establishment 4. FIRM PRICING OF THE WORK • GMP is established and project is ready to bid • Bidders list is compiled and approved by the Owner , • Actual Bid Process will be developed with Owner's needs in mind 5. CONSTRUCTION PHASE COST MANAGEMENT • Firm Bid Cost is developed • Work Proactively to eliminate change orders • Negotiate on behalf of owner on all legitimate change orders PM ESTIMATORS DAC does not have dedicated in-house estimating staff assigned to individual projects. Instead, we have found that by allowing the project managers of each project to also act as the lead estimating for that project,the management team is more knowledge and involved in any given project.This allows the PM to have a deeper understanding of the project's specific needs as the ability to better communicate with the owner and designer about the project from pre-construction to completion. 1 - 3.b.n. SUBCONTRACTOR/SUPPLIER PRICING & PROCUREMENT DAC has worked with numerous subcontractors and suppliers in the State of Montana and neighboring regions.We operate four local offices in Billings, Bozeman, Great Falls and Helena and have the advantage of knowing costs since we literally work everywhere in the state. 1 We will utilize the following subcontractors during the pre-construction phase for cost estimating services: • Mechanical • Electrical 1 GATHERING PROJECT INTEREST During the entire preconstruction phase, we work to gather interest in your project from the local and regional supplier and subcontractor markets.We like to inform companies about the materials and trades involved with your project and the timeline when the project will be ready for bid and construction.This helps us make sure we will receive numerous bids for each scope of work.This is vital in assuring the owner will receive the best value possible in the current market conditions.This is done by: • Newspaper ads • Phone calls • E-mail 10 Plan exchanges • Sub-Hub i RECEIPT OF BIDS 1 The entire team is involved in evaluating and awarding bids to the lowest RESPONSIBLE bidder • In some instances,the lowest responsible bidder is not the bidder with the lowest price • We will only select subcontractors capable of delivering within the parameters of the schedule Based on our proven ability to accurately determine costs during the preconstruction phase, we should not have any significant differences between subcontract bids and the budget. However,should bids for a specific item of work come in significantly over what we have budgeted,we will either negotiate with the bidder or make revisions to the scope of work and put it out for re-bid. SELF PERFORMED WORK Dick Anderson Construction has the ability to self-perform: r �+ ► Construction Management ► Design Build J. ► Excavation & Underground Utility Work ► Site Construction ► Road Construction dr► ► Concrete ► Steel Erection y ► Metal Buildings ► Welding ► Framing ► Finish Carpentry ► Door& Hardware Installation ► Painting ► Division 10 Specialties Dick Anderson Construction employees approximately 293 employees and a wealth of knowledge and skilled craftsmen across a broad spectrum of trades. For all Bid Packages that are self-performed,there will be a Foreman that is in charge of managing the crews and coordinating material needs for that specific bid package.This allows the main project Superintendent to maintain his role of managing the overall project actifivities.This eliminates additional costs to the owner for the same personnel providing general conditions management/supervision for self-performed work. C 3.b.iii. VALUE ENGINEERING VS. BUDGET REDUCTION Value Engineering is a proactive process whose sole purpose is to get "the best overall project value for the owner". Value Engineering can be applied at any point in the design process, but to obtain maximum effectiveness it should be undertaken as early as possible in the design development. It is not a design/peer review cost cutting exercise,and it should not sacrifice quality, reduce scope,cause numerous re-draws or increase future maintenance costs. Below are two examples where we utilized value engineering without sacrificing quality. • Bullhook Community Health Center-Through preliminary estimating exercises we found that a Type A HP micropile would support the loads of the building for$60,000 less than drilled piers,Total value engineering on this project amounted to approximately$300,000 • Great Falls Clinic Specialty Center - DAC proposed a beam and deck floor system versus joist and deck. This option saved the project approximately$75,000.Total value engineering on this project amounted to approximately$250,000. i 3.b.iv. BUDGET REDUCTIONS We understand the realities that are placed upon all parties involved.As a result,when it is determined that a project must reduce its budget, we will remain as committed as ever before.We will work with both the design team and all subcontractors involved in an attempt to estab- lish the most effective and efficient way to meet the new budget demands. However a budget may change or fluctuate throughout the life of a project,and we will employ the same strategies and show the same commitment to the owner as at any other time during the project. 3.b.v. PROJECT PLANNING & SCHEDULING An accurate project schedule is one of the most critical components during construction. DAC takes schedules seriously and we pride ourselves in delivering projects on time. DAC utilizes the following methods to assure projects are delivered on time with superior quality: • Overall Critical Path Method (CPM) Schedule-DAC will utilize Primavera Suretrak to build a project schedule that contains details from pre-construction and construction phases. Important project milestones and long lead items will be noted on this schedule and tracked during our weekly meetings. • Submittal/Procurement Schedule - This submittal schedule is built alongside the CPM schedule. DAC completes submittals as fast as possible to assure materials show up on site before they are needed for their associated tasks. During submittal review, rfi's are generated and many questions are answered before they arise as problems in the field. • 3 week look ahead Schedule -These are completed by the superintendent and go into greater detail than the CPM schedule to show what tasks will be performed and what resources are required for these tasks. This schedule is reviewed during the weekly Owners and Subcontractor meetings and distributed to all entities involved. • Weekly Team Meetings-At these weekly meetings all outstanding and time sensitive issues are discussed and prioritized.These meetings are key to gaining everyones input on items in an effort to bring them to final resolution within a time frame that ensures the project schedule is not impacted. On this project we will arrange to have two weekly meetings, an owners meeting(attendees will be owner, architect, field superintendent, and project manager), and subcontractor coordination meeting(attendees will be project manager, field superintendent, and subcontractors). • Activities Concurrently- DAC also ensures that we have as many activities concurrently going as possible just to the point before it is counterproductive. In closing,we would like to say that effective communication will be central to the success of this exciting project and will be the most critical tool used to ensure the projects' success in overcoming the projects challenges. We understand that effective and open communication is paramount to delivering this project on-time,under budget and to the quality this project deserves.
