A. INTRODUCTION STATEMENT

April 5, 2017
Greenville County
University Ridge Development
301 University Ridge, Suite 2400
Greenville, SC 29601

Dear: Sir or Madam,

Municipal Consolidation and Consolidation, LLC (MCC), a Franklin L. Haney Company subsidiary,
has formed a highly- experienced team of professionals to respond to the Request for Development
Proposal for the University Ridge Development Project (The Project) located in Greenville County,
South Carolina. The representations and commitments as set forth in the response are correct
and accurate.

UNDERSTANDING OF THE COUNTY’S GOALS: We fully understand the County’s vision to develop a world-class
mixed-use infill development project that serves to further strengthen the magnificent urban fiber of downtown
Greenville. As described in the RFDP, the primary objectives for the development of the County’s University
Ridge campus are as follows:
1. Intensive, High Density Urban Land-Usage
2. Aesthetically Striking and Appealing Urban Building, Hardscape, and Landscape Design
3. Thoughtful Consideration for the Replacement of a County Administrative Office Facility
4. Connectivity to Downtown Greenville, Adjacent Parks, Trails and Surrounding Properties
5. Distinct Sense of Place, Including Walkability, Greenspace and Public Gathering Spaces
6. Adequate Parking and Vehicular and Pedestrian Traffic Circulation
7. Significant Positive Community Impact
With these goals in mind, we have developed a thorough redevelopment plan approach based on our
simple yet highly effective public / private partnership approach with municipalities:

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL SUMMARY: Our approach is divided into two primary phases. In Phase I, MCC
proposes to acquire the existing property 301 University Ridge and lease back the existing facilities to the
County while we design and construct a new 250,000 sf facility to house the County offices plus an
additional 50,000 sf to house the Courts (total of 300,000 sf facility). This new facility will exemplify the
level of sophistication and dedication to sustainability and quality design exemplified in Greenville County.
Most importantly, as part of our proposal, MCC will absorb ALL liability for the project during the design and
construction phases. The County in turn, will only be liable for lease payments once the new building is
completed and the certificate of occupancy is obtained.

RFDP for the University Ridge Development Project, Greenville County, SC 2


Once the County facility is up and running, implementation of Phase II, which will focus on the private-
sector residential and commercial infill can begin. This phased approach is critical to the success of the
project for three primary reasons:

1. This approach puts ALL liability from design through construction of Phase I on us, freeing the County
to budget appropriately for the lease without worrying about unforeseen costs arising in Phase I.

2. The County is not responsible for any upfront capital costs associated with the development including
infrastructure, demolition or other project-related costs.

3. The newly built, state-of-the-art County facility serves as a value generator for the property and a
catalyst for the subsequent private development phases.

To provide the County with a turnkey project within budget and within an agreed upon schedule, we have
assembled a highly-experienced team of local, national and international professionals including:
• Project Executive: Frank Haney – Municipal Consolidation and Construction
• Design Principals: Chris Engel, AIA, LEED AP; Michael Keeshen, AIA, LEED AP – Goodwyn, Mills
& Cawood (Offices in Greenville and Columbia)
• Design Architect: Marc Warren, AIA, LEED AP –Goodwyn, Mills & Cawood (Offices in Greenville
and Columbia)
• Construction Project Manager: AJ Bargoti – Turner Construction
• Construction Site Manager: Terence Strong – Brownstone Group (SC DBE Firm)
• O & M Leader: Gregory Cichy, CPM®, LEED GA – Colliers (Offices in Columbia)
• Lead Counsel: R. Preston Bolt, Esq. – Hand Arendall, LLC
• Lead Financier: Lindsay Stroud – Savills-Studley

In addition to the above-mentioned team, we are prepared to hire Robert Charles Lester, Co
(RCLCO) should our team be selected as our economic and market analyst. As president of MCC, I
will be the point of contact for this contract and have full contractual authority for our team on all
matters related to this project. I look forward to working with Greenville County on this exciting
opportunity.

Sincerely,

Frank Haney - President
