MICHELS CORPORATION - STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS <br />Exhibit K provides a high level summary of our fleet, sorted by type. For more detailed, focused <br />reports, please contact Jason Pucker, Senior Manager of Equipment, at 920.924.4300 x2375 or <br />ucker milchels.us. <br />8.2 Facilities and Maintenance <br />Routine, preventive maintenance, repairs and inspections are aspects of equipment ownership <br />that Michels takes very seriously. Michels' dedicated team of mechanics makes sure our <br />equipment is kept in top shape and on the job. Michels' road mechanics, whether responding to <br />a call or staffed full-time on site, provide first-class support for our crews to minimize machine <br />down time and avoid costly delays associated with repairing off -site. When off -site maintenance <br />or repair is unavoidable, we utilize our network maintenance facilities throughout North America.. <br />Fleet maintenance is managed using FleetFocus software which, among other things, tracks <br />and schedules preventive maintenance for each individual machine and manages our parts <br />inventory to keep availability up and costs down. <br />8.3 National Accounts <br />Michels has the equipment to tackle jobs of all scopes and sizes, but for times when we do not <br />have the necessary equipment available or would be better suited to meet the project schedule <br />and/or budget by sourcing equipment locally, Michels will utilize its extensive network of national <br />accounts with companies such as United Rentals, RSC Equipment Rentals, Sunbelt Rentals, <br />Hertz Equipment Rental, and Volvo Rents to secure the necessary resources. <br />9 Subcontracting <br />9.1 Ability to Self -Perform <br />Michels typically self -performs more than 90 percent of the construction activities it undertakes. <br />Certain work scopes such as right-of-way clearing, fencing, landscaping, testing/commissioning, <br />helicopter support, etc. are performed more efficiently and cost-effectively by firms specializing <br />in those services and/or that are based near the project site. We have relationships established <br />with highly qualified subcontractors, all of which are/have been subject to a prequalification <br />process that evaluates several factors, including insurance, safety and environmental records, <br />and financial stability. Whenever possible, we seek the services of qualified disadvantaged, <br />minority, and/or women -owned (DBE/SDVOB/MBE/WBE) businesses. <br />9.2 Subcontractor Pre -qualification <br />As mentioned in Section 9.1 above, Michels thoroughly evaluates and prequalifies its <br />37 <br />
