E. RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE FAMILIARITY, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE WITH PROJECT REQUIREMENTS Gruen Associates and our team has familiarity, knowledge and experience of technical work areas for the Space Planning and Architectural Services contract. Gruen has deep relationships with most of the public agencies that would be involved with projects for the City of Santa Ana and utilizes those relationships to facilitate our work when required. We have strong relationships with our code consultants who, likewise, have their own access to the various Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Additionally, we have in-house experts on CalGreen and the City's Green Building Policy for Municipal Buildings. The net result is that we know how to get our projects expeditiously approved through the various AHJs and have experience with virtually every city government and agency in the region, state and Federal sectors. We have also worked with OCTA, Metro, Omnitrans, SANBAG (now called SBCTA), SCAG, state and county health departments, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), Metrolink, the Coastal Commission, Caltrans, utility companies, US General Services Administration, State Fire Marshal and the US Department of State Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, as well as sovereign Indian nations.

REFERENCES REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS AND REFERENCES The following pages include project sheets that demonstrate Gruen Associates' experience in providing similar professional services requested in the City of Santa Ana's RFP. Gruen Associates was the Executive Architect for the $123 million, 10-story Ronald Reagan Federal Building and US Courthouse. Totaling approximately 603,000 SF, the project was lauded by the US District Courts as one of the best new courthouses in the Western US. The facility is designed to meet the Federal Court's 30-year space requirements. Included in the initial build -out are spaces for the US District Court, US Bankruptcy Court, Magistrate Court, court -related agencies, federal executive agencies, joint -use facilities and accommodations for the US Marshals Service. We worked with a Design Architect to accommodate 29 courtrooms at final build -out. Located on a 3.9-acre (1.6-hectare) site at the edge of pedestrian -scaled early 20th Century Santa Ana downtown, as well as adjacent to a modern citric center, the new building's identity in the community was to have real and symbolic connections to both, along with meeting demanding functional and security requirements.
