The staff and equipment are resource loaded to ensure that each project will be completed within the established project schedule. Current projections show that we i =� will not be 100% loaded during the 2014 and 2015 = fiscal years and can handle additional workload. - Our firm monitors the progress of each one of our projects on a weekly basis by utilizing Microsoft ; Project scheduling software and our weekly staff meeting. If unforeseen issues arise in any of our ^ projects, personnel are re-assigned and level loaded to ensure that projects are completed as per the contract agreements. This constant monitoring of our workload also provides a means to forecast manpower = - requirements well in advance. We also have a professional engineer on staff that has been certified as a Project Management Professional. She will bring her expertise in Project Management to this project for the scheduling of resources and equipment to ensure that the critical path and milestones for these projects are completed successfully.

One of the advantages of the GR-3 is that it has the capability of reading both the > American and Russian constellation of satellites,which is a critical advantage in areas of rugged terrain or heavy cover. 1 AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 and 2015: Gaston Engineering's designers and engineers utilize the latest AutoCAD technology with Civil 3D 2013 and 2015 versions. The 3D software allows us to easily calculate cuts,fills,and cross sections related to geotechnical work with minimal effort and has many additional features necessary for precise design projects. l Our Topcon receivers can be configured to operate as two(2)independent RTK units, a single RTK unit with dual rovers, or as four individual static receivers. 2 The Sokkia receivers are dedicated static units that enable Gaston Engineering to conduct up to eight (8) static sessions simultaneously when used in conjunction with our Topcon GR-3 units. 3 These Windows based field computers will run our Topcon GPSreceivers in RTK mode, or our Sokkia total stations in conventional mode. 4 PDL radio extends the effective range of our RTK system by several miles. 'These programs are utilized to download and process RTK and static data from the Topcon receivers.

United States Forest Service(USFS)/Bureau of Land Management(BLM) Contract Work: • Gaston Engineering was selected to perform field work on behalf of the Bureau of Land Management and the United States Forest Service for a particularly challenging survey located near the top of Lone Peak in Big Sky. The initial phase of the project included extensive corner search for existing monumentation on steep and rugged terrain. Corner monuments found where then located using static GPS observations, post-processed in- house. Survey data analysis was performed by the BLM,who computed coordinates for lost or obliterated corners. Gaston's final step was to set appropriately stamped brass caps at locations specified by BLM.

Field verification of the finished product revealed that the LiDAR based contour mapping was well within National Map Accuracy Standards. • Numerous communications tower site and lease parcel surveys throughouth the State of Montana. These surveys include the requirment to determine the latitude, longitude and elevation of the center of the proposed tower in order to certify its location to the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA lA or 2C cerrtification), which we normally derive through static GPS observations post-processed using the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) On-line Positioning User Service(OPUS). Due to the requirements of the communications industry, most of these surveys are conducted in remote areas. • Gas well location surveys throughout Sweet Grass and Park Counties. Well-head locations must be referenced to the nearest adjacent section lines,and located geodetically(latitude and longitude derived through static GPS observations and provided in NAD'83 format). These projects clearly demonstrate our ability to find and locate section corners and to perform geodetic calculations based upon static GPS observations. • Retracement surveys of various properties, inclduing: o Retracement survey of Sections 19, 20, 21, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33, Township 2 South, Range 10 East, P.M.M., Park County, Montana, each of which was broken down into aliquot parts and/or government lots, depending upon the method of subdivision protraction utilized on the original GLO survey.
