PROPOSAL FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE

GATEWAYBUILDING AT LANCASTER SQUARE

November 18, 2016 Ms. Angela Pellett TM Montante Development 2760 Kenmore Avenue Tonawanda, New York 14150 Re: Design Services for the “Gateway” Building at Lancaster Square Dear Ms. Pellett, We applaud your company for taking on this transformational, yet challenging redevelopment. Your approach and vision speak to the successful revitalization of the Gates Circle and the creation of a new Lancaster Square neighborhood. SWBR would love to partner with you in this effort. Our firm and your company share community and design values. We pride ourselves in our sustainability, urbanism and housing innovation. We approach our work with enthusiasm and energy, while providing a thorough and professional product.

Shared Community Values Shared Design Values Quality of Recent Work

The following proposal provides our qualifications; the team that we propose to work with you; our approach; fee budget; and a design concept. Our approach to contracting would be to revisit the scope and budget to best meet your needs. In this proposal, we intend to provide TM Montante with architecture, urban design, structural, civil and MEP engineering, and interior design services. We will support your company or affiliates with cost estimating and construction phase services, as necessary. ME Engineering and Watts Architecture & Engineering (a Buffalo MBE company) will support SWBR with MEP and Civil engineering services, respectively. The design concept that we are sharing with you represents a glimpse into our design process and one exciting alternative. Our solution addresses your program and incorporates your community and design values – albeit, in tension. Most importantly, the concept represents an iconic front door to Gates Circle and Delaware Avenue while beginning to define a new urban space… Lancaster Square. This concept is intended as a starting point for a dialog between the owner, architect and the community. We look forward to answering any questions you have about our proposal, and presenting our thinking. We are anxious to address the last item in your Community Values list, and help get this building built-out and occupied! Best Regards,

Thorough & Professional Enthusiastic & Innovative
