Docusign Envelope ID: C60869CD-2F77-479D-9911-03447283931A 2.a. COMPANY HISTORY & INFORMATION COMPANY HISTORY & LOCATION: In the spring of 1966, Cascadian Landscapers, Inc. was founded by Fred Meisner. The primary focus was in residential landscape, but that quickly changed when in 1969, Cascadian branched out into commercial landscaping. In 1971, Fred Meisner started Cascadian Nurseries, Inc., which is still in operation, and Arthur Meisner became the sole owner of Cascadian Landscapers, Inc. in 1998. As of November 2009, Cascadian Landscapers became a predominantly woman-owned business with the addition of Patricia Meisner as Owner. Cascadian Landscapers, Inc. became a Certified Women-Owned Business (#6891) September 14th, 2017. In 2018, Patty & Art Meisner founded Live for Dirt, LLC, the nursery division, and purchased 5 acres of nursery with offices onsite located at 36700 SW Blooming Fern Hill Road, Cornelius, OR 97113. In December 2018, Cascadian Landscapers, Inc. moved its headquarters to the same site. All divisions of Cascadian, including residential/commercial maintenance and residential/commercial construction, all operate from this location. All upper management operate from the offices at this location. No employee of Cascadian work remotely. From 1966 to present, Cascadian Landscapers has worked on projects as far North as Adak, Alaska and as far South as Medford, Oregon. Some notable projects completed over the years include: The Nike World Campus, The Africa Bush and Alpine Exhibits at the Oregon Zoo, Oregon Zoo Amphitheater, Skamania Lodge in Stevenson Washington, Lewis & Clark College Campuses, Historical Timberline Lodge Amphitheater, Tillamook Forestry Center, Westmoreland Nature Park, Jessie Mays Community Park, and many other parks in the Portland Metro Area. COMPANY STRUCTURE: Although Cascadian Landscapers has been in business for 59 years, the date the company of incorporated was December 22nd, 1975, and currently operates as a C-Corp in the states of Oregon and Washington, with the majority of work located in Oregon. Cascadian is a small family owned company with 30-35 full-time employees year-round with close to 90% of the employees being of a minority group. Two of the main management employees, Bryan Rose and Corrisa Meisner, are Native American and a part of the federally recognized Cowlitz Indian Tribe, one employee is Asian/Pacific Islander, and approximately 75% are Hispanic. Cascadian consists of two divisions: 1.) Residential and Commercial Construction; 2.) Residential and Commercial Maintenance. The two Principle Members and Owners of Cascadian Landscapers, Inc. are actively involved with managing these two divisions on a daily basis. President and CEO Patty Meisner oversees office and business operations, human resources, maintenance crew scheduling and safety. Vice President and COO Art Meisner oversees equipment operations, project management (maintenance and construction divisions), and crew management of both maintenance and construction. RANGE OF SERVICES & AREAS OF EXPERTISE: Being licensed with the Landscape Contractors Board (LCB) and Construction Contractors Board of Oregon (CCB), in addition to our years in business building a highly qualified and experienced management team and installers, Cascadian has an extensive scope of work range. Many tasks involving landscape and irrigation maintenance and construction can be performed in-house, eliminating the need for subcontractors.

RESOURCES AVAILABLE & ON-GOING PROJECTS EQUIPMENT & FACILITY: Cascadian Landscapers, Inc. owns a wide-range of equipment, including but not limited to what is listed below. The equipment is necessary to perform maintenance tasks and provide safety to the crew with traffic control signage/materials when working in high traffic right-of-way locations. Owning vs. renting is beneficial for multiple reasons. It lessens the costs to perform the work because Cascadian does not incur rental fees, work can be scheduled immediately because equipment is readily available, and it ensures a project is completed safely. In addition to equipment, Cascadian’s headquarters facilitates efficiency in project preparation due to its size, structures, and organization. As mentioned in 2.a. Cascadian operates on a 5 acre nursery. Not only is there an open field nursery with irrigation and multiple greenhouses that are also irrigated, the site houses a stand-alone metal tilt up building used for mechanical repairs. Equipment and vehicles needing repairs are staged and worked on in this location, removing them from the normal staging areas so employees know not to load them for use. There is a separate chemical storage building for herbicides and fertilizes, a separate storage facility for small equipment, a large covered open air storage facility for large equipment, and a large gravel parking lot for vehicles and trailers. Various Maintenance Equipment:  Backpack Blowers (Gas and Battery Powered)  Weed-Eaters  Hedge Trimmers  Pole Saw  Mowers Ranging in Size from 21” to 72” including a 60” Field Mower  Debris Loader (Leaf Vac)  Truck Mounted Snow Plow Traffic Control Equipment: All Signage is 48” per ODOT Specifications: (33) 24” Cones (2) Shoulder Work Ahead (16) 30” Cones (1) Roadwork Ahead (20) 4x30 Candlesticks (1) Right Lane Closed Ahead (3) Barrels (1) Flagger Ahead (8) A-Frames (1) Be Prepared to Stop (1) Double Transition Ahead (2) Work Area Ahead (2) Maintenance Crew Ahead Small/Medium Equipment: Gators Chainsaws/Table Saws Generators Rototillers Plate Compactors Jumping Jacks Breakers/Augers (3) Ditch Witch Trenchers - 94 96 97 1994 Case 1845C Uniloader 2000 Alltrack AT300 (small tracked dump truck) Heavy Equipment: (3) V1035 Yanmar Excavators V1055 Yanmar Excavator (2) V4 Yanmar Wheel Loaders 2006 Kobelco ED 150 Excavator JCB 509 Reach Forklift 2005 660 ASTEC Puller 2005 560 ASTEC Trencher 1990 Case 688 Trackhoe 2004 Takeuchi TL140 Track Loader (3) Kubota Tractors w/4WD 2005 Takeuchi TL130 Track Loader Vehicles & Trailers: 1995 GMC Dump Truck 2006 Ford F250 2008 Ford F250 2009 Ford LCF Dump Truck 2010 Isuzu Dump Truck 2012 Ford F250 2014 Ford F350 2012 Ford F550 Dump Truck 2016 Ford F250 2021 Ford F250 2022 Ford F350 2019 Ford E150 Transit Van 2022 Ford F250 1993 Peterbilt with 33’ Van Trailer 2022 Peterbilt Dump Truck Docusign Envelope ID: C60869CD-2F77-479D-9911-03447283931A 2012 Peterbilt with 53’ Equipment Trailer 2022 Freightliner 2,000 Gal.

RELATED EXPERIENCE & REFERENCES THREE SIMILAR PROJECTS PERFORMED IN LAST FIVE YEARS: As you can see from the current list of On-Going Projects as listed in 2.b. Cascadian Landscapers has extensive experience in providing landscape and irrigation maintenance services on commercial sites, residential sites, public and private properties, and contracting with government agencies. Most importantly our experience with City of Tigard Right-of-Way Maintenance Services as listed in Project #1 below. All projects listed below have similar worksite conditions such as: working on right-of-way frontages with limited space along high vehicular and pedestrian traffic areas; school property adjacent, and working with government agencies to meet specific city/county/state standards. It is important to manage traffic control and safety measures for each site. We are very familiar with standards and procedures of government agencies; in particular with City of Tigard and their Standards and Specifications. We are also experienced in providing establishment services for extended maintenance periods for multiple city entities. We were representing the government agencies. They were all being constructed before the public and many people in the neighborhood came by to visit and witness the construction progress. We understand how important professionalism, safety and cleanliness are. Site planning and preparation have always been an essential part with each City project to verify essential safety measures are in place. Project #1: City of Tigard ROW Maintenance & Improvements (April 2012-Present) Adam Jensen | adamj@tigard-or.gov | 503-718-2606 City of Tigard Public Works Street Supervisor | 8777 SW Burnham Street, Tigard, OR 97223 Docusign Envelope ID: C60869CD-2F77-479D-9911-03447283931A Cascadian Landscapers, Inc. is currently under contract for the ROW Maintenance Services contract. We have been awarded this contract consecutively by the City of Tigard for the same work that is currently being requested through this RFP. We have developed a business relationship with representatives of the City of Tigard and proved to them that we not only meet scheduled deadlines, but finished the improvement work ahead of schedule. We have become very familiar with the ROW sites needing maintenance throughout Tigard, along with the City Standards & Specifications, and the community. In addition to ROW Maintenance and Improvements, Cascadian has been awarded the City of Tigard Street Tree Planting Project multiples years since 2008, including this 2025 winter planting season. Awarding Cascadian again with this maintenance service contract would create a seamless transition for the new maintenance year beginning April 1st, 2025. Project #2: City of Portland Tree Planting & Establishment Services (2010-Present) Tony Mecum | Tony.Mecum@portlandoregon.gov | 971-271-0086 Urban Forestry Planting Program Supervisor | 10910 N Denver Ave, Portland, OR 97217 Cascadian was first contracted under the Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) in 2010 to install trees and provide maintenance and establishment services throughout the Portland Metro Area as a part of their Grey to Green Program. In 2015, we were contracted with both BES and Urban Forestry to provide tree planting and maintenance services for both City of Portland Departments. In 2024, City of Portland made some internal department adjustments, and now we are contracted solely with Urban Forestry and Portland Parks & Recreation to provide these services. To-date, we are currently responsible for maintaining and establishing over 2,800 trees through the Portland Metro Area. Locations of maintenance have included right-of-way frontage planting beds, public and private school property, commercial sites, parks, and wetland mitigation. Maintenance responsibilities include, but are not limited to, hand-watering, weed control, bark mulch application, replace damaged or missing stakes and chainlock, monitoring each tree’s progress, providing daily and seasonal reporting of maintenance tasks performed and tree health status. Project #3: Hawthorn Farms HOA of Orenco Station Right-of-Way Maintenance (Aug 2016-Present) Don Shannon, Current Point of Contact | jamesdonshannon@gmail.com | 503-640-3690 Laurie Anderson, Board Member | hfvoa.exec.or@gmail.com | 503-422-4749 There are four main roads that border the Hawthorn Farms HOA Subdivision. Cornell Road, Shute Road, Airport Road, and Butler Road. These four roads are main roads in the city of Hillsboro and get thousands of vehicular traffic and hundreds of pedestrians each day. Cascadian is responsible for maintaining the right-of-ways along these four streets. There is existing vegetation that must be pruned on a regular basis, policing of beds, and leaf removal. These sites require traffic control and thorough coordination of logistics to ensure safety of others and safety of crewmen. With right-of-way sites that are large like this, it is important for the crew to manage equipment and time to complete the maintenance work in the most efficient way without sacrificing quality. Cascadian provided tree mitigation plantings, and establishment and maintenance of the newly planted trees. This included watering by hand using watering trucks, monitoring tree stakes and ties, pruning, weeding, and monitoring tree health. Additional extra work involving landscape improvements throughout the right-of-way areas has also taken place in the last eight years. Cascadian works with the HOA members to quickly respond to additional and emergency requests.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT APPROACH: Our firm understands the services include, but are not limited to, a qualified landscape contractor with demonstrated experience in providing landscape maintenance in right-of-ways and high traffic areas. Our firm will handle any projects given to us by the City with the same organization and professionalism that we handle all of our maintenance projects and commercial landscape construction projects. Our communication between our staff in the office and out on the field will make certain that each phase of the project will be handled in the correct order to ensure organization with one project or many projects at one time. Maintenance projects are broken out into phases. We would complete the phases in an order following the format of: safety, site planning and scheduling, site preparation, onsite maintenance tasks and responsibilities, and clean up. We follow this format to ensure thoroughness in completion, avoiding lengthy punch-lists of unfinished business during the last phases of our projects. Our project approach paired with our background and experience would provide the City and community members with a qualified team and excellent working relationships regardless of our workload and project types. Our maintenance division project team work closely on a daily basis utilizing all forms of communication. The design of our project approach has a special organization of phases. The arrangement of these phases is specifically designed to coincide with the order of maintenance responsibilities. This phased approach is followed by all crews and allows, if necessary, a crew to pick up where one crew left off. With all jobs of varying types, having a universal approach allows for the measuring and monitoring of success to meet City objectives by our management staff. MAINTENANCE PHASES: 1. ) Safety: Weekly safety meetings for the maintenance crew take place every Wednesday at 5:30am at Cascadian's shop prior to the crew embarking on their first maintenance site. Weekly safety meetings for the maintenance crew are task specific and incorporate those safety concerns surrounding landscape maintenance duties. Quarterly Safety Meetings, where live safety demonstrations are performed, for all employees take place on Friday afternoons four times a year. The Safety Committee meets monthly. 2.) Site Planning & Scheduling: All visits will follow the annual monthly schedule as provided by the City Attachment D Right-of-Way Landscape Maintenance Annual Calendar (LMAC). Each location needing maintenance would be reviewed and receive a site visit by the Maintenance Field Supervisor prior to the Maintenance Foreman and crewmen are scheduled to arrive. These site visits will continue throughout the calendar year. Based on the existing conditions of the site, maintenance tasks will be prioritized and assigned to the crew. For example, tree and shrub pruning is a maintenance task that will be done on an as needed basis and will need to be communicated by the Maintenance Field Supervisor to crew after his site visits and review. Provide the necessary safety gear depending on the maintenance tasks that will be assigned. All crewmen are to be provided with mandatory PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) at all times; such as: safety glasses, gloves, safety vests, earplugs, etc. 3.) Site Preparation: Make sure all crewmen are wearing their safety vests and are visible. Once the truck and equipment is parked in a safe area, turn on flashing lights. Erect traffic signs, flags, cones, or temporary signs and/or fencing if needed. If necessary, take precautions to set up protection for any existing structures on public or private property near the project sites. Police planting beds and turf areas for unwanted vegetation, debris and garbage. It is important to clear the area prior to maintenance tasks being performed for both crewmen, pedestrians and vehicular traffic. If garbage is not cleared prior to mowing it could create a safety issue with unanticipated projectiles. While policing the planting beds and turf areas, the site would be reviewed for any additional issues/concerns. Docusign Envelope ID: C60869CD-2F77-479D-9911-03447283931A 4.) Onsite Maintenance Tasks & Responsibilities: After site preparation is completed, the crew would move onto maintenance tasks and responsibilities as listed and scheduled on the LMAC and ROW Maintenance Scope of Services. Turf maintenance tasks would take place first (mowing, hard edging, string trimming, fertilization, broadleaf spray, leaf removal), followed by planter and bed maintenance tasks (debris and trash removal, weed patrol, pre-emergent application, fertilize shrubs, tree and shrub pruning, leaf removal). Blowing sidewalks will be the last task completed for both turf, planters and beds. Currently there are no WQF sites included in this RFP, but if asked to perform maintenance of the City’s WQF, maintenance tasks provided will include weed patrol by hand only, debris and trash removal, tree and shrub pruning, grass cut back, and leaf removal of the water quality facilities. 5.) Clean Up: Cleanliness of a jobsite is important to promote safety and professionalism. All debris removed offsite gets recycled. It would be taken to the nearest landscape recycling locations. We would find the closest landscape recycling facility to the jobsite to decrease labor, equipment, and fuel costs. Disposal time is based on the loading of debris into company truck(s) and the unloading of debris at the landscape recycling facility. This is dependent on how much debris is being removed from the site and how many trucks are available to transport the debris. TIGARD SPECIFIC PROJECT UNDERSTANDING: Crew Scheduling & Availability: We will continue to make our crews available weekly to City of Tigard with the same current scheduling of maintenance days and crewmen. City of Tigard ROW Maintenance receives two full day visits per week, Monday and Tuesday, with a crew of 4 during growing season and a crew of 3 during non-growing season (site foreman plus crewmen). During growing season, a second crew consisting of a site foreman and crewman, is added when needed. Treatment Policies (Pesticide Application): None of the chemicals we have used, nor plan to use, are restrictive entrance. Cascadian Landscapers uses Low Impact Herbicides. If a label does require, we will post necessary signage. It’s most important to always follow the directions on the label for each product used. Products used on Tigard ROW Sites are Ranger Pro, Rodeo, and Dimension 2G (a granular pre-emergent), and on occasion a combination of Ranger Pro with either Speed Zone or Crossbow is used in areas when treating blackberries, ivy, and/or clover. At the City’s request, we will provide all SDS sheets for chemicals used. For pest control, Cascadian will continue to monitor and notify any deficiencies to the Streets Supervisor. If the City requests as an additional service, moss treatments can be applied in late winter/early spring that include an application of Ferrous Sulfate. Depending on the existing conditions of moss, additional scraping, cleaning, and removal may be needed in addition to the chemical application. Gaarde 4 Site: It is noted that this is the only lawn area of the sites listed and it is non-irrigated. This site receives mowings per the LMAC, no fertilizer application due to no irrigation, and is monitored for weeds. RESPONSIVENESS: We take great pride in the fact that most of our jobs that we get are based on our reputation. This relies solely on word-of-mouth referrals. As a result, customer service is very important to us and our business. We feel you cannot have quality assurance without a priority on customer service. We are loyal in responding to warranty work and our installation of landscape materials is incomparable. As mentioned under 2.c. Scott Meisner is the primary contact and Art Meisner is the secondary contact for emergency requests. It is understood that our maximum response time to any non-emergency communication is 24 hours, while response time for an emergency communication will be 1 hour. Client Services Philosophy: Cascadian Landscapers will… *strive to always exceed our customers’ expectations; *cater to our clients unique tastes by offering a wide range of exceptional services; *maintain a highly professional staff that understands and responds to clients’ needs in a friendly, professional manner; *and build trust by paying attention to every aspect of the job down to the smallest details.
