Mr. Ryan Miller

Director, Marion Public Service Department

195 35th Street

Marion, Iowa 52302

Dear Mr. Miller,

It is hard to overstate the challenges your team and the Marion community have been

through over the course of the past year. I can only imagine the anticipation of seeing a

project becoming a reality, and then the frustration of watching it turn into an escalating

concern and ultimately, an obstacle. We can help bring order back to the process and

can turn this into a community asset and stepstone to a greater vision for Marion’s Public

Services and the Eco Industrial Park.

Conlon Construction believes in craftsmanship and accountability. We have a long history

of successful builds and a commitment to getting projects done right. We are eager for the

opportunity to perform as your Construction Manager as Adviser and are well suited to

restarting this project and setting a new standard for professionalism, quality controls, and

compliance.

The Eco Industrial Park project will be a testament to Marion’s ability to overcome adversity.

It will also serve to lead other communities by embracing new forms of technology and

energy utilization, as well as providing innovative solutions that municipalities across the

country are struggling to solve. These are exciting initiatives and we want to be a part of

the effort to make them real and bring them online.

Enclosed you will find a packet full of information about our business, our history, and our

approach. You will find us to be a company full of enthusiastic, dedicated, and inspired

individuals prepared to get to work for Marion. We would encourage that the next step in

this process be approval of the agreement we have attached to this proposal. Please do

not hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can provide. Thank you for considering

Conlon.

Sincerely,

CONLON CONSTRUCTION CO.

Ben Simon

Vice President of Regional Construction
