THIS FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR BID. **THIS FORM ONLY APPLIES TO BIDS GREATER THAN $260,000. ** INSTRUCTIONS: If you are a pre -qualified bidder, complete Section I only. If you are not a pre -qualified bidder, complete Section 11 only. Section II acts as an application for pre -qualification. Submission of Section II will allow the bidder to be considered for pre -qualification for bids with the City of South Bend Department of Public Works. Pre - qualified bidders will then be exempt from a portion of the submission requirements outlined in Section 6- 71 of The Responsible Bidding Ordinance No. 10975-23 (hereinafter, "Responsible Bidding Ordinance") for a period of twelve (12) months. Thereafter, contractors who are pre -qualified must submit a complete application for continuation of "pre - qualified" standing, on a form provided by the City ('Responsible Bidder Checklist (1) Pre -Qualified Bidders") within twelve (12) months of obtaining pre -qualified standing. If the status of any item changes within the twelve (12) months, it is the responsibility of the contractor to notify the City. Failure by any pre - qualified contractor to submit its complete application for continuation of "pre -qualified" standing within the time prescribed above shall result in automatic removal of the designation, effective immediately following the twelve (12) months of pre -qualified standing. However, the "removed" contractor or subcontractor shall still be permitted to bid on City public works projects, though the contractor must submit all required documents under 6-71 until "pre -qualified" status is re-established. Please Note: The City reserves the right to request supplemental information from the bidder, additional verification of any information provided by the bidder, and may also conduct random inquiries of the bidder's current and previous customers regardless of pre -qualified standing.

WI 53219 414.672 4244 the mrd9roup net PROOF OF COMPETENCY AND QUALIFICATION OF THE BIDDER The MRD Group is a 37-year-old Demolition, Asbestos Abatement, Remediation, and Asset Management company doing business out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While our major focus is on performing work within the Great Lakes Region, we can and have performed projects all over the country. Gerald Blomberg is the sole owner of The MRD Group and on April 1,1987, Mr. Blomberg incorporated the company into an S Corporation. In addition to being the Corporate President, he also acts as the company s Corporate Secretary as well. In addition to Gerald's everyday "hands on" leadership, the MRD Group has a General Manager (Joe Gozelski) that oversees all bidding, contracting, and company operations; a Vice President of Business Development (Richard Nickerson) that coordinates project opportunities, writes contracts and makes sure all prerequisite documentation and licensing is in order for each bid, and also doubles as our environmental specialist; and a Manager of Recycling Operations (Steve Lewinski) who coordinates all trucking, metals recycling, equipment movements and doubles as our in-house Chief Financial Officer. We also have 6 others that serve as our Site Superintendents in the field. For over 3 % decades, The MRD Group has been providing complete abatement, demolition, and site restoration services to some of our nation's largest companies. Projects have included complete Power Plants, Paper Mills, Foundries, and high-rise buildings. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND BUSINESS HISTORY The MRD Group began in 1975 when Gerald Blomberg created Midwest Rail Dismantlement to remove railroad track lines and perform some simple demolition operations for the Milwaukee Lines on several sites in Wisconsin. This continued for nearly 10 years. As this company grew in competence and experience, Mr. Blomberg realized that in order to remain competitive in this fast-growing industry, the company needed to diversify. Over the next several years, Mr. Blomberg added an asbestos and lead abatement group to its services portfolio and invested a large portion the company's revenue back into the company in the form of machinery, personnel, recycling site compounds, and office spaces. The company has now grown from its humble beginnings into a company with over 65 personnel and over 45 pieces of heavy demolition and abatement equipment.

These are the divisions of what is now known as The MRD Group. Today, our focus is on specialized demolitions, like complex high-rise structures, complete mall centers, baseball stadiums, paper mills, power plants, foundries, and numerous other industrial and commercial centers. as well as city, county and state schools and office buildings. These are the types of jobs that only a select group demolition companies nationwide can handle proficiently. We want to be that "go -to company" when you have a job that seems impossible or has site specific operations requirements that need to be strictly adhered to in order to keep adjacent or adjoining businesses open during abatement or demolition activities. We have experience where experience counts. When projects are in close proximity to other on -going business operations that need to stay open and unimpeded, we coordinate and maintain required access roadways and utilities to keep them operational. We work with the neighborhoods, businesses, and the communities we service to keep them informed and happy. With over 37 years of operational experience behind us, it enables us to be proactive with our customers. To think "outside the box" using innovation and creative thinking to solve problems that other contractors won't anticipate on behalf of our clients. We have learned that there is no question that cannot or should not be asked in order to be clear and concise as to what the job scope requires and what the client expectations are going forward. When we're communicating and working together, there is no problem or obstacle that cannot be solved.

The JATC recognizes that in order to accomplish this, there must be well -developed on-the-job learning combined with related instruction. This recognition has resulted in the development of these Standards of Apprenticeship. They were developed in accordance with the basic standards recommended by the U S. Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship, as a basis from which JATCs can work to establish an apprenticeship training program that meets the particular needs of the area. APPRENTICE: Any individual employed by the employer meeting the qualifications described in the Standards of Apprenticeship who has signed an Apprenticeship Agreement with the local Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) providing for training and related instruction under these Standards, and who is registered with the Registration Agency.
