The Dubuque office is our corporate headquarters. MVP Services Group also maintains a satellite office in Chicago, IL, at 900 West Jackson Boulevard, which the company uses to conduct business as necessary in the Chicago area. We have performed foodservice design work in nearly every segment of the foodservice industry. Food facility design accounts for approximately 85% of our work with the other 15% of the work stemming from management advisory services. We have successfully completed work in the following segments; Independent Restaurants Catering Companies Small Chain Restaurants Business & Industry Casino Airport Foodservice Museums Education – Early Childhood, Primary, Secondary and Higher Culinary Schools Correctional Facilities Health Care Facilities Health Club Facilities Hotels Private Clubs Country Clubs & Golf Courses Convention/Event Centers/Performing Arts Government Facilities – Regional Food Banks Food Processing Companies Churches & Related Facilities Community Centers MVP Services Group works closely with our client base and takes pride in being extremely responsive to the project team. We are capable of handling even the most demanding project work. We have grown from a regional provider of services to a national provider and are now actively being pursued for international project work. We have had significant growth in the past few years which has made us one of the leading design firms in the Midwest. Over the years we have built strong relationships with our client base and are fortunate to have never lost a major client. We step up to the demands of today’s market place and embrace the latest technologies to perform our work as best, and as quickly, as possible. Bringing sustainability into every design is important to us. It is our mission to educate our clients and give them the opportunity to make informed decisions about sustainable alternatives. We make every effort to protect the interests of our clients and deliver an end-result that exceeds their expectations. We listen intently to the needs of our client base and respond with designs that are based on their input. In many cases we go the extra distance to educate and inform our clients of changes in design intent and equipment specifications in order to meet best practices for the industry. This allows the client to take advantage of the latest trends in facility and equipment design, function and production capacity. We also have extensive experience in contractual negotiations for services and products. Due to our network of industry professionals we can handle project work in any geographic region of the world. We work closely with other select consulting firms to “team” on projects that may require a regional contact but maintain a “seamless” look and feel as preferred by customers. MVP Services Group performs all of our work in house including design and drafting. We have found that this approach insures consistency in the high quality of our services and provides for more seamless integration with the project team. Trust that MVP Services Group will do what it takes to achieve the outcomes necessary for you, our client! “A Gen2DESIGN Gen2DESIGN Company” Company” EXECUTIVE BRIEF: SUSTAINABILITY IN FOODSERVICE EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN MVP Services Group is a leading Midwest food facilities design and management advisory firm. Our goal is to be the leader in knowledge and application of the most up-to-date trends in sustainable foodservice design and equipment specification. This requires a strong commitment to expend resources that will keep us on top of the innovation. We have a working knowledge of the applications so that we might employ them in the best interest of our clients and their projects. We typically look at four major equipment categories within the kitchen that can have a major impact on the use of natural and manmade resources. The four major equipment areas we focus on are; • • • • Exhaust Systems Refrigeration Systems Warewashing Systems Waste Management Systems We typically specify exhaust hoods, as local codes permit, that reduce CFM requirements by as much as 40%. This yields significant savings on HVAC when one considers the “life” of the operation and the demand for treated make-up air. ROI reports can be provided. Recent technologies allow for greater reporting data from the exhaust systems. The use of scroll compressors, in lieu of standard piston compressors, offer savings on energy and maintenance costs when larger condensing units are required for refrigeration systems. Glycol refrigeration systems can also be incorporated into the design if parameters are met. This can result in significant energy savings over and above normal and customary. In warewashing, a number of benefits can be derived from the proper installation and specification of dishwashers and equipment specific to warewashing. Heat recovery systems which utilize the heat from the final rinse tank of the dishwasher to reheat incoming cold water for the final rinse rather than relying on a booster heater that requires high energy consumption is one of the most recent new technologies. Some dishwashers are designed to lower chemical costs by up to 30% through efficient use of water. Low-flow pre-rinse nozzles can also decrease water demand by as much as 50%. Recirculation pumps on disposal systems can also result in diminished water consumption. Another area important to clients is a plan to reduce solid waste. There is new technology available to address solid waste and the recycling effort. We can offer a comprehensive equipment package that will reduce solid waste and yield a “soil amendment” product that can be used on shrubbery or plants. MVP Services Group takes a proactive stance on sustainability on every project. We will advise our client of options available that may fit their budget and then work to come up with the best alternatives for their operation. MVP Services Group is proud of the fact that we were a part of the project team for the Wellmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield Corporate office complex in Des Moines, IA. This facility was the first and largest office building in the world to achieve LEED Platinum status! We feel that it is our role as leading consultants to educate and assist our clients in sustainable practices whenever possible. “A Gen2DESIGN Gen2DESIGN Company” Company” PERSONAL BIOGRAPHY EDWIN EDWIN J.

During 2008 and 2009, Ed and I worked together when I was with EDAW AECOM and principal-in-charge of the Chicago Gateway and 31st Street Harbors project for the Chicago Park District and Public Building Commission of Chicago. These projects, valued at nearly $150 million in construction, both include significant new waterfront restaurants to be housed in LEED Silver Certified structures. As we did not have the restaurant operators selected, Ed worked with our team of architects and engineers to develop functional and flexible kitchen designs to accommodate a wide range of possible kitchen demands. He worked seamlessly with our architects to resolve a range of functional issues, addressed multi-story kitchen/service demands, and integrated his design efforts with the team to achieve a range of efficiency and sustainability targets. His responsiveness and professionalism were an asset to our team, and the Owner was very pleased with his efforts. I would recommend Ed and his team, and would hire him again to work on my projects in the future. Please contact me if you have any questions. Yours sincerely, Gregory J. Weykamp, ASLA, LEED AP Principal Architecture Interior Design Graphic Design Facility Planning August 22, 2011 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN : MVP Services Group, Inc. was engaged by the Salina Kansas Airport Authority and Jones Gillam Renz Architects also of Salina, Kansas, to perform foodservice master planning and schematic design work as part of an initiative to raise funds to build a multi-million dollar Aviation Museum with attached Restaurant, Lounge & Banqueting/Meeting Facility in Salina. The project also includes concessions for the museum and high-end catered meals to business jets that frequent the airport facility. Jeff Gillam Jack Gillam Mark Regier Salina is considered to be one of the best airports for business jet traffic that crosses the United States because of its easy access, runway length and minimal commercial airline traffic. Salina also hosts the Canadian Air Force and several branches of the U.S. armed forces each year for training sessions at a nearby target range. Charles Renz Ed Norman visited the City of Salina and met with representatives of the owner and architect and conducted appropriate market research for the facility. He interviewed local restaurant operators and toured the city in order to assess the needs of the market and what type of restaurant would best serve the community and the potential customers of the airport facility. The restaurant is a multi-level concept and required conceptualization that was based upon his operational knowledge of a multi-faceted facility of this type. The owner has been very pleased with the outcomes of his report and preliminary design and is hopeful that the necessary funding can be satisfied so that the project can move toward construction in the near future. Ed understands his business and works well with project team members. We look forward to working with him in the future. Sincerely, JONES GILLAM RENZ ARCHITECTS INC. Jeffrey S Gillam Jeffrey S. Gillam, President 730 N. Ninth (67401) P.O. Box 2928 Salina, KS 67402-2928 (785) 827-0386 Fax (785) 827-0392 100 Clubhouse Drive Easton PA 18042 Phone 610.923.8480 August 26, 2011 To Whom It May Concern: This recommendation comes as a result of MVP's exceeding my expectations and my total satisfaction with there performance in every facet of the design process of my most recent restaurant. I am currently chef / owner of a casual fine dining and catering facility in Easton Pennsylvania. In 2005 I ended my 12 year career with Marriott International. During my tenure I was at three full service multi outlet properties: • The Marriott at Glenpoint in Teaneck New Jersey. A 25+ million dollar a year food service operation with 3 ala carte outlets and 37,000 square feet of catering space. • The Newark Airport Marriott in Newark New Jersey. A 20+ million dollar a year foodservice operation with 4 ala carte outlets and 17,000 square feet of catering space. • The Bridgewater Marriott in Bridgewater New Jersey. A 25+ million dollar a year foodservice operation with 3 ala carte outlets, 1 retail outlet and 15,000 square feet of catering space. MVP services designed the fourth project that I have aided in or been responsible for opening. 3 rd and Ferry St Oyster House is a 4000 square foot seafood restaurant with 2 kitchens, a 45' long bar and three levels of seating/production located in a historic district. The design challenges they faced were working in a very old existing space, working out of the box to make complete use of space and working with the stringent demands of the local historic committee. MVP has over 70 combined years of experience in design and operation. This experience allowed them to anticipate our needs and become integral partners in the design effort as opposed to simply supplying equipment. During the entire project they became vested members of the project team, attending meetings as required, working with the projects architect and owners to ensure that we will open on time and on budget. In closing I would like to restate my total satisfaction with their services and with confidence provide them with my highest possible recommendations. Sincerely Michael Pichetto Chef / owner Vintage Restaurant and Bar, 3 rd & Ferry St Oyster House
