RE: REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS—COMMISSIONING SERVICES FOR
POLICE & COURTS FACILITY
On behalf of McKinstry, I am honored to present our qualifications in response to the
City of Bozeman's request for commissioning services. McKinstry is confident in our
ability to implement commissioning programs that will deliver unparalleled benchmarks
for performance,quality,responsiveness, and service. At McKinstry,we are capable of
taking on projects of all shapes and sizes. We work in facilities ranging from a few
thousand square feet to campuses with multiple million square feet. We use our expertise
to execute commissioning projects holistically, expertly, and in a scalable fashion.
We also have the benefit of currently partnering with the city on a comprehensive energy
audit. McKinstry engaged ThinkOne Architects last summer on a window replacement
project at North Hedges residence hall at MSU, and we feel confident in our ability to
work collaboratively with that team once again.
We have mobilized a highly skilled and professional team specialized in commissioning
services to meet the city's needs. Our goal is to deliver superior programs to the city—on
time and under budget. McKinstry is excited to work with the city by working as your
selected partner to implement a timely and seamless commissioning program that will
exceed your financial, facility, and operational objectives.

Firm Background
FIRM HISTORY
Founded in 1960 by engineers Merrill McKinstry and George Allen, McKinstry originated as a
plumbing and piping contractor. As the needs of clients evolved with the complexity of buildings,
McKinstry recognized the need for a contractor capable of solving a multitude of problems as they arise
throughout the 50+year life of a building. Today, our competencies include construction trades
(mechanical, electrical, fire protection, etc.), facility management, energy savings performance
contracting, commissioning and retro-commissioning,measurement and verification,warranty and issue
management, utility bill tracking, and behavior-based energy savings programs.
McKinstry Essention, LLC is a Washington Limited Liability Company authorized to do business in the
state of Montana. McKinstry Essention, LLC is headquartered in Seattle,Washington and maintains
offices in Billings,Bozeman, and Missoula, Montana. McKinstry Essention, LLC, at times, contracts
for McKinstry Company, LLC, a separate company, for specialized services.
SENIOR MANAGEMENT
Our management team consists of Dean Allen(CEO,Chairman); Ash Awad(President); Doug Moore
(COO); Bill Teplicky(CFO,Asst. Secretary,Treasurer); Ron Johnson(VP); Mike Locke(VP); Brian
Floyd(VP); Jamie Pedersen(VP, Secretary, General Council); and Joseph Hagar(Director of Finance).
VOLUME OF BUSINESS,FINANCIAL/BONDING CAPACITIES, STABILITY
McKinstry Co. LLC and its affiliate McKinstry Essention, LLC revenue over$500M annually. We work
diligently to maintain an extensive bonding capacity. Over our 50-year history, McKinstry has been
profitable every year save one, which speaks to our ability to guarantee project costs and savings over
the long term. McKinstry can provide a performance bond for our phase of the work,if required. Our
per-project capacity is$1M; our total bonding capacity is$350M. McKinstry is a financially strong and
stable company that is routinely profitable. We maintain unsecured lines of credit in excess of$15M and

Detailed Structure & Components of NC-Cx
COMMISSIONING SPECIFICATION
The purpose of the Cx specification is to introduce and explain the various phases and steps that
comprise the Cx process.
COMMISSIONING SCHEDULE
Once the design and scope are finalized, we develop a Cx schedule that can be integrated with the
master construction schedule. Project closeout is a very busy time and conditions often arise that may
prohibit commencement of Cx tasks during the precise time scheduled. Cx is a dynamic and fluid
process; scheduled Cx tasks are managed to fit with site-specific conditions and opportunities.
Additionally, the Cx schedule serves as a project resource that prioritizes equipment power requirements
for the electrical contractor.
ISSUE RESOLUTION
Unforeseen issues develop during all projects. Early identification and prompt resolution may be the

Start-up Cx verifies all equipment is activated and operating in accordance with the manufacturer's
operating criteria. This includes all internal equipment electrical components and safety devices.
McKinstry Cx will witness and review equipment start-up activities.
TEST,ADJUST,&BALANCE
The Test,Adjust and Balance(TAB) discipline sets, measures, and documents air and hydronic system
performance. Final TAB performance data is recorded onto appropriate forms where it is compared to
the designed performance criteria. In the event a system is not meeting the design intent, the McKinstry
Cx Team works with the project and design teams to develop and implement a timely and suitable
resolution.
CONTROL SYSTEM COMMISSIONING POINT-TO-POINT
As control device installation and wiring is completed, the control contractor tests and adjusts all
components(point-to-point). Point-to-point Cx verifies control hardware and components for proper
communication, operation, orientation,range, calibration, and functionality. This testing ensures and
documents that all devices are complete, communicating, and functional. After point-to-point,the
control contractor performs dynamic testing of the approved sequence of operation. These tests
document all logic and control sequence statements accomplishing each specific control function.
