CURRENT PROJECTS AND PAST PERFORMANCE

BCT Increment 3A 800 Person Dining Facility, Joint Base Lewis-‐McChord, Washington

Tunista Construction, LLC was awarded the BCT Increment 3A Dining Facility project as a competitive best value selection with the Seattle District of USACE. Tunista is providing comprehensive general construction services for the construction of a new 30,000 square foot dining facility that will serve 800 soldiers and military personnel per day. As a part of this construction program for the new facility, two 50,000 square foot barracks buildings were demolished, to include the removal and disposal of Asbestos and other hazardous materials. Tunista Construction’s focus on sustainable construction processes and LEED programs resulted in a significant green savings to the project as usable concrete from the previous buildings were recycled into 1,200 cubic yards of material for the new 2.83-‐acre site. As a General Contractor, TCL is managing all aspects of the construction and coordinating with a strong performing subcontractor team. The team is managing under the Lean Construction methodology of project delivery and implementing the Last Planner System for weekly, and monthly planning (pull planning). Teams are working at a high level of efficiency through a collaborative effort of communication and project controls. A core focus for the company is the development of our program at Fort Lewis; Tunista Construction is self-‐performing all of the civil construction and concrete work at the site. Additionally, TCL is working closely with a heavily coordinated effort with other contractors at adjacent construction sites to maintain a high level of efficiency between our self-‐performing crews on adjacent contracts. The kitchen area requires extensive plumbing, electrical, and mechanical scopes of work. Tunista is already ahead of schedule on this project and anticipates turning over the competed building to the owner prior to the completion date of January 26, 2015.

Kodiak National Wildlife Replacement Triplex at Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, Kodiak, Alaska

The Replacement Triplex is a housing facility for employees of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, contracted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Located in Kodiak, AK, this triplex will consist of one single story accessible unit, and two 2-‐story typical units. Each unit will have 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, separate fenced yards, exterior storage closets, and utility meters. This project will conform to LEED Silver requirements. During the design phase, a challenge was discovered with the existing gravity sewer system, which was built in 1982 and its condition and remaining useful life is unknown. As a Value Engineering solution, a new elevated bed septic system was designed, incorporating a septic tank effluent pump system with alternating pumps. The project involves some special environmental considerations because the site selected for the replacement triplex is a quarter mile of the ocean and an area where migratory birds were found nesting. In order to prevent disturbance of already nesting migratory birds, clearing and grubbing of the site was fast-‐tracked to be completed by April 15, 2014.

MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY Tunista Construction is an organization that is deliberately designed with the ability to respond quickly to changes in work environments by delegating and authorizing decision-‐making power to the project management team. Our approach towards project management allows maximum flexibility, efficiency and promotes effective communication. We leverage the considerable financial resources provided by our parent corporation, Calista, as well as the core competencies of our experienced management and staff. Tunista Construction can provide a quality product at a fair price and can do so on time and within budget. TCL is committed to providing our client’s projects with experienced staff and continues to provide industry standard construction management tools and resources. We have learned from our clients that our structure and approach allows us to outperform the typical “command-‐and-‐control company” competition. Some key advantages to Tunista Construction’s decentralized management structure are as follows:

• We encourage project-‐level managers (construction team outside of corporate headquarters) to exercise initiative and act responsibly – therefore providing “boots on the ground” solutions.

• We believe new ideas and creative thinking is better promoted in a decentralized organization. • Time is of the essence and is critical to our projects -‐ a decentralized approach allows for fast response times.

• Fewer levels of management promote greater flexibility and lower cost. The end result is a business model that is streamlined, incurs less overhead, and thus translates to greater efficiencies and a lower price. In addition, our Project Managers have been given decision-‐making authority, which will allow for a faster problem solving process and shorter project down time. Tunista Construction fully employs Spectrum/Venture and Oracle’s Primavera Project Professional industry – fully integrated standard project management, scheduling and estimating enterprise software that meets USACE and other government agency requirements.

COMMITMENT TO SAFETY AND QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE

Tunista Construction has a demonstrated commitment to project safety and quality control / quality assurance. TCL has developed Site Specific Accident Prevention Plans and Quality Control Plans that have received USACE approval. Tunista Construction ensures all that all project safety and quality control staffing considerations meet or exceed project requirements. TCL’s commitment to safety and quality are ensured through retaining the very best professionals in their respective fields.


FINANCIAL CAPABILITIES

Tunista Construction is a subsidiary of the Calista Corporation, which is one of the Regional Alaska Native Corporations. With nearly $350 million in financial assets, Calista’s support allows Tunista Construction to meet the financial and bonding requirements of projects in the private and public sectors.

ACCESS TO PROJECT BONDING

Tunista Construction has access to adequate bonding capacity through a shared program through our parent corporation, the Calista Corporation. Due to the financial strength of our parent corporation, as well as our successful history of project completion, our bonding rates are competitive and we can readily provide bid, performance and execution bonds for very large projects. Our written limits are $40 Million per project and $150 Million aggregate, but we have the potential to bond projects much larger than these limits, should the situation require or allow. Thank you for your interest in our team. We look forward to working with you!
