EXHIBIT C - PROPOSAL <br />COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE DESIGN <br />Sustainable design for Group 4 is a holistic concept: we believe <br />that successful green architecture not only minimizes harmful <br />ecological impacts, but also serves the client for decades to <br />come by uniting functional, aesthetic, and operational project <br />requirements. Our Group 4 team members are leaders in <br />environmentally responsible and sustainable design. Our <br />design portfolio includes zero -net -energy (ZNE) projects as <br />well as LEED-certified projects at all levels. <br />We work with our clients to choose the optimal level of <br />sustainable design and LEED certification. We use goal -setting <br />exercises and apply life cycle cost methodologies to determine <br />the best strategies that fit within a balance of first time capital <br />budget and long-term operating budget. <br />Our award -winning expansion of the historic Main Library in <br />Palo Alto achieved LEED-NC Silver certification as well as local <br />and state recognition for excellence in historic design and <br />preservation. Our LEED-NC Platinum Mitchell Park Library and <br />Community Center was named a New Landmark Library by the <br />Library Journal in recognition of its comprehensive sustainable <br />design, including its innovative partnership model for programs <br />and operations. <br />Rinconada Library, Palo Alto <br />LEED-NC Silver; AIA San Mateo Honor Award; <br />California Preservation Fdn.
