No r-- 3 ALLSTEEL I Request Attachment #5 Value Add Allsteel's Management & Project Approach Allsteel's Management Approach is designed around six core elements of a project: Team, Process, Communication, Design Planning, Execution/Implementation, Close Out + Day 2 Service. Proven through many years and contracts, these core elements position Allsteel and our dealer partners for a successful execution of the contract and an efficient on- going support system. We place an enormous emphasis on our process and provide a rigorous, planned, and disciplined approach to ensure the success of all. Our goal is to implement an infrastructure that includes experience and knowledge, providing quick access to product and service information while responding to the needs of the OMNIA in the most timely and efficient manner. The Management Approach is based on a centralized administration which creates efficiencies related to design, order preparation, coordination, and delivery planning. TEAM A successful project begins with a clear understanding of your goals. Our dedicated Public Sector team ensures that each member is educated and well - versed in all aspects of the requirements of each project. Allsteel has Public Sector dedicated BDM's in place regionally that are supported by a dealer partner most closely aligned to the territory. Allsteel created this infrastructure to provide quick access to project, product, and service information and allow us to respond to all needs in the mostjudicious manner. Allsteel offers and requires our dealers to participate in ongoing online training opportunities and instructor -led regional product and specification classes to ensure adequate product knowledge. COMMUNICATION The most important task at this stage is to develop the communication pathway to ensure project success while developing provisions for schedule deviations and risk. Our dealer team supported by their local Allsteel BDM, will minimize risk by communicating lead times, ship dates, and expectations on a regular basis to the project team. Having standards in place for internal processes, understanding the importance of detailed steps, and measuring adherence to those details mitigate risk on projects of all sizes. A detailed task list will be outlined in the customer Project Gantt Chart to highlight deliverables and key milestones. It will also create a project baseline for progress and performance reporting. PROCESS This process involves developing a plan that allows our dealer partner to manage the project scope by defining and controlling the project's constituents. A cross -functional project team is established, initial roles/responsibilities are identified, and technical requirements are reviewed. Our trusted dealer partners will develop, enforce, and maintain a strong Quality Control Plan alongside an extensive network of certified Servicing Partners and other qualified Allsteel dealer partners that provide coverage to support our high standards for service and delivery, regardless of geographic location. DESIGN PLANNING Expert project management and consistent design are key to the success of complex interior projects. Each project goes through extensive assessment, which provides the foundation for flawless execution. Our experienced designers follow a robust design process to include several accuracy checks and manage requests for changes that may be outside the scope of the contract. Allsteel has an internal Design Solutions team that works directly with our authorized dealers to assist in the creation of design packages that offer our end customers the best overall solution. Our design professionals provide the following services: auditing and specification accuracy, value engineering, ergonomic options, 3-D drawings, complete parts lists, product compatibility, CAD furniture plans, photo - realistic renderings to help with visualization, and furniture plan finishes. 4 ALLSTEEL I Request Attachment #5 Value Add Allsteel's Management & Project Approach EXECUTION + IMPLEMEN ON The Execution and Implementation phase includes order entry, production, delivery, installation, and preparation for closeout of the project. During production, the Dealer Support team will process and complete any necessary access and security documents and any other regulations. The dealer PM will be on -site regularly to monitor project progress, inspect the quality of furniture installation, and check third -party contractors' work to ensure successful integration of wiring and cabling. Installation Manager and Project Managers will work with the Allsteel logistics team on packaging efficiencies, site conditions, and optimal communication strategies to ensure optimal delivery and receiving methods. All deliveries will be coordinated through building management to ensure no delays. Prior to delivery and installation, the dealer PM will perform a walk through with the agency representative tojointly note the condition of the facility and areas that require extra protection. To reduce punch list items, Allsteel will provide a project 'care package' once installation begins, at no cost to the customer. This customized care package includes extra parts, touch up material, or any other items particular to the punch list process. The Project Manager and Installation crew will be conducting ongoing pre -punch walkthroughs and resolve any issues utilizing the punch kit. We believe that the strong quality assurance measures incorporated into our process reduce overall project risk. At Allsteel, customer satisfaction is measured through a series of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These metrics allow us to hold both ourselves and our dealer partners accountable. We create monthly performance matrices that benchmark our client's expectations and measure turn -around and lead time for every order, service, or design request. This data is integrated into an overall scorecard to measure ongoing performance, identify areas of improvement, and implement corrective action. CLOSE OUT + DAY 2 The close-out of the customer project is critical to successful move -in and long-term tenant satisfaction. Items completed during the closing process can include but aren't limited to: • Conduct a formal punch walk-through • Schedule a final project close-out meeting to ensure completion of all project activities and contractual obligations including post -project review • Provide on -site user training sessions during the first five days of occupancy • Submit the final close-out package that includes, but is not limited to, warranty, assembly instructions, maintenance handbooks, and a complete set of detailed as -built drawings with part numbers and a key plan. We believe that communication is a key component to a successful project. The Allsteel and Dealer Support teams have years of experience with similar projects of this scope and complexity for both commercial and government clients. We are fully prepared to manage concurrent installations on multiple floors, multiple buildings, and multiple sites. Our overall driving vision and standard practices will provide a structure for the total project whilst allowing the flexibility to manage and address the unique complexities at each local level.

Returns for made -to -order products, if approved, that are not a result of damage, order entry error, etc., may be subject to a return fee of up to 45% of the invoiced amount plus the cost of return freight. Upon receipt of necessary information regarding the return, Allsteel will issue a return authorization to the customer outlining items to be returned and where the items should be shipped.

We will submit the proposed list price increase in compliance of Region 4 and OMNIA Partners contract guidance. At no time will discounting to Region 4 and OMNIA Partners increase during the term of the contract. Price increases will be proposed to list price only and will be based on supplier and material cost increases. 1 Future Product Introductions 8 Describe how future product introductions will be priced and align with Contract pricing proposed.

Since Authorized Dealers perform or facilitate services on behalf of Allsteel, we flow down prevailing wage and Davis - Bacon Act contract requirements to our Authorized Dealers and require each to certify compliance with such provisions prior to receiving authorization to service Allsteel's public sector contract. 2 Not to Exceed Pricing 2 Region 4 ESC requests pricing be submitted as not to exceed pricing.

Products and services provided in a situation where an agency is eligible for federal funding, Offeror is subject to and must comply with all federal requirements applicable to the funding including, but not limited to the FEMA Special Conditions section located in the Federal Funds Certifications Exhibit. ❑ Agree ❑ Disagree 2 Appendix D, Exhibit A, O IA Partners Response for National Contract 5 Include a detailed response to Appendix D, Exhibit A, OMNIA Partners Response for National Cooperative Contract.

On average, our lead times range from 4-6 weeks, at times as fast as 3 weeks. Our promise to deliver durable, reliable products efficiently and quickly remains intact.

This service provides our Customer Support teams with real-time updates and visibility to shipments across the country. Authorized dealers place orders using a specific contract number assigned to the OMNIA contract for ease and accuracy of capturing OMNIA associated sales volume to meet reporting requirements and deadlines. 3 Describe Offeror's history of meeting the shipping and delivery timelines. 1 The Allsteel and HNI delivery model is unequaled for on -time delivery performance using a measurement called Complete and On -time (COT) to assess delivery performance. Our COT is tracked on a daily basis in all of our manufacturing facilities. The industry standard for on -time performance is to be measured in weekly increments however, this type of approach overlooks daily performance failures and disguises the true impact on the client. We calculate COT by dividing units produced by units scheduled to get a daily score. Examples of these metrics are below: Measuring COT for Production: Units produced divided by units scheduled equals percent complete. Distribution COT: Orders shipped divided by orders dispatched by hour equals percent COT. We monitor Complete and On -time shipments and report results to leadership daily. We maintain a 97% complete shipment result and a 95% on -time performance metric for truckload deliveries. 3 Describe Offeror's return and restocking policy. 2 Allsteel's dealer network works closely with customers to ensure product needs are clearly identified and that the product selections meet these needs. Therefore, the need to return is minimal. In the event a return is being considered, the dealer will assist the customer in this process. Most Allsteel products are made -to -order, so restocking is not usually viable. Returns for made -to -order products, if approved, that are not a result of damage, order entry error, etc., may be subject to a return fee of up to 45% of the invoiced amount plus the cost of return freight.

In 2020, HNI developed our first carbon emission reduction targets that were approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These targets are in line with the GHG reductions required to meet the Paris Agreement goal of keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. HNI is working to reduce absolute combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 35% by 2025 from 2018 baseline and reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions 40% per ton of products sold by 2035 using innovative product life cycle assessments. Since 2020, HNI has sourced 100% renewable electricity for global operations. Since 2018, we reduced combined Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 64%. HNI joined RE 100, a global corporate leadership initiative led by the Climate Group in partnership with CDP. As a member, HNI pledged to source 100% renewable electricity annually by 2030, which we met in 2020 and will continue to meet annually. We were recognized as one of the EPA Green Power Partnership's National Top 100 green power users for our efforts. Our goal is to cut our energy intensity by 50% by 2035. In our 2022 baseline energy audit, we discovered that our intensity has risen since 2018, and our total energy usage has declined. Absolute energy has decreased almost 8% from 2018. By 2030, HNI aims to achieve zero waste to landfill for all facilities. We diverted over 70,000 tons of waste from the landfill in 2021 and 2022. The first step in reducing waste is completing waste -mapping exercises and developing solutions for hard -to -recycle materials such as particleboard, wood waste, and paint waste, among others. The majority of HNI waste (63%) is now recycled or diverted from the landfill. The solid waste produced in our facilities (37%) goes to the landfill. Since 2018, our total water consumption has decreased by 30%. We design products to be repairable by providing replaceable parts, and we educate our customers, dealers, and installers on ways to fix or retrofit products to make them last longer. Our products meet or exceed industry performance standards, which typically represent a 10-year lifespan. When our products do finally reach the end of their useful lives, we want to see component materials recycled locally and kept out of landfills. We provide environmental data sheets and disassembly diagrams to our customers, which detail the materials used in the products and provide guidance on which components can be recycled. As of 2022, we have 34 Environmental Product Declarations and plan to continue this work annually. By 2025, we are aiming to understand the chemical constituents down to 100 parts per million (ppm) for 100% of our materials by spend across the portfolio. As of 2022, we have analyzed 40% of our materials in HNI Workplace Furnishings by spend. Our packaging is the first point of contact between customers and our products. HNI is focused on eliminating all non -recyclable packaging materials by 2025, including eliminating Styrofoam. As of the end of 2022, our HNI Workplace Furnishings division omitted nearly 3.2 million parts of EPS from product packaging and achieved over 46% reduction. Our product development teams continue to identify packaging solutions, and in the process, have found several types of non - recyclable foam beyond EPS that are used in our product packaging. In several cases, we have been able to replace the non -recyclable foam with recycled corrugated cardboard, and we are continuing to research alternative materials. This requires engineering design and testing to ensure uncompromised product delivery and quality.

CO-SOLUTIONING Allsteel Experience Center I Applied Workplace I Solutions Unique Dealer Network We believe in co-solutioning—this means we don't come to the table with a prescribed solution.

We have created new experiences which will allow us to roll up our sleeves and solution alongside the dealer and the client every step of the way. 2 ALLSTEEL I Request Attachment #5 Value Add Allsteel Product Overview Allsteel manufactures a full line of contract office furnishings, including seating, workspaces, tables, storage, architectural products, and accessories.

No r-- 3 ALLSTEEL I Request Attachment #5 Value Add Allsteel's Management & Project Approach Allsteel's Management Approach is designed around six core elements of a project: Team, Process, Communication, Design Planning, Execution/Implementation, Close Out + Day 2 Service. Proven through many years and contracts, these core elements position Allsteel and our dealer partners for a successful execution of the contract and an efficient on- going support system. We place an enormous emphasis on our process and provide a rigorous, planned, and disciplined approach to ensure the success of all. Our goal is to implement an infrastructure that includes experience and knowledge, providing quick access to product and service information while responding to the needs of the OMNIA in the most timely and efficient manner. The Management Approach is based on a centralized administration which creates efficiencies related to design, order preparation, coordination, and delivery planning. TEAM A successful project begins with a clear understanding of your goals. Our dedicated Public Sector team ensures that each member is educated and well - versed in all aspects of the requirements of each project. Allsteel has Public Sector dedicated BDM's in place regionally that are supported by a dealer partner most closely aligned to the territory. Allsteel created this infrastructure to provide quick access to project, product, and service information and allow us to respond to all needs in the mostjudicious manner. Allsteel offers and requires our dealers to participate in ongoing online training opportunities and instructor -led regional product and specification classes to ensure adequate product knowledge. COMMUNICATION The most important task at this stage is to develop the communication pathway to ensure project success while developing provisions for schedule deviations and risk. Our dealer team supported by their local Allsteel BDM, will minimize risk by communicating lead times, ship dates, and expectations on a regular basis to the project team. Having standards in place for internal processes, understanding the importance of detailed steps, and measuring adherence to those details mitigate risk on projects of all sizes. A detailed task list will be outlined in the customer Project Gantt Chart to highlight deliverables and key milestones. It will also create a project baseline for progress and performance reporting. PROCESS This process involves developing a plan that allows our dealer partner to manage the project scope by defining and controlling the project's constituents. A cross -functional project team is established, initial roles/responsibilities are identified, and technical requirements are reviewed. Our trusted dealer partners will develop, enforce, and maintain a strong Quality Control Plan alongside an extensive network of certified Servicing Partners and other qualified Allsteel dealer partners that provide coverage to support our high standards for service and delivery, regardless of geographic location. DESIGN PLANNING Expert project management and consistent design are key to the success of complex interior projects. Each project goes through extensive assessment, which provides the foundation for flawless execution. Our experienced designers follow a robust design process to include several accuracy checks and manage requests for changes that may be outside the scope of the contract. Allsteel has an internal Design Solutions team that works directly with our authorized dealers to assist in the creation of design packages that offer our end customers the best overall solution. Our design professionals provide the following services: auditing and specification accuracy, value engineering, ergonomic options, 3-D drawings, complete parts lists, product compatibility, CAD furniture plans, photo - realistic renderings to help with visualization, and furniture plan finishes. 4 ALLSTEEL I Request Attachment #5 Value Add Allsteel's Management & Project Approach EXECUTION + IMPLEMEN ON The Execution and Implementation phase includes order entry, production, delivery, installation, and preparation for closeout of the project. During production, the Dealer Support team will process and complete any necessary access and security documents and any other regulations. The dealer PM will be on -site regularly to monitor project progress, inspect the quality of furniture installation, and check third -party contractors' work to ensure successful integration of wiring and cabling. Installation Manager and Project Managers will work with the Allsteel logistics team on packaging efficiencies, site conditions, and optimal communication strategies to ensure optimal delivery and receiving methods. All deliveries will be coordinated through building management to ensure no delays. Prior to delivery and installation, the dealer PM will perform a walk through with the agency representative tojointly note the condition of the facility and areas that require extra protection. To reduce punch list items, Allsteel will provide a project 'care package' once installation begins, at no cost to the customer. This customized care package includes extra parts, touch up material, or any other items particular to the punch list process. The Project Manager and Installation crew will be conducting ongoing pre -punch walkthroughs and resolve any issues utilizing the punch kit. We believe that the strong quality assurance measures incorporated into our process reduce overall project risk. At Allsteel, customer satisfaction is measured through a series of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These metrics allow us to hold both ourselves and our dealer partners accountable. We create monthly performance matrices that benchmark our client's expectations and measure turn -around and lead time for every order, service, or design request. This data is integrated into an overall scorecard to measure ongoing performance, identify areas of improvement, and implement corrective action. CLOSE OUT + DAY 2 The close-out of the customer project is critical to successful move -in and long-term tenant satisfaction. Items completed during the closing process can include but aren't limited to: • Conduct a formal punch walk-through • Schedule a final project close-out meeting to ensure completion of all project activities and contractual obligations including post -project review • Provide on -site user training sessions during the first five days of occupancy • Submit the final close-out package that includes, but is not limited to, warranty, assembly instructions, maintenance handbooks, and a complete set of detailed as -built drawings with part numbers and a key plan. We believe that communication is a key component to a successful project. The Allsteel and Dealer Support teams have years of experience with similar projects of this scope and complexity for both commercial and government clients. We are fully prepared to manage concurrent installations on multiple floors, multiple buildings, and multiple sites. Our overall driving vision and standard practices will provide a structure for the total project whilst allowing the flexibility to manage and address the unique complexities at each local level.

GENERAL INFORMATION Warranty 03/23 WOOD FURNITURE Wood owes its inherent beauty to variations in color, grain, and tex- ture, and therefore, these variations are not considered defects. There may be minor variations from one piece of furniture to the next even though they are finished at the same time. Exposure to light and the aging process will cause a darken- ing of natural wood products. Light finishes on wood products do not mask the natural characteristics of wood. The Gunlocke Company does not guarantee the exact matching of grain, pattern, and color. These finishes do not cover any of the natural characteristics of the wood, including nature's colorations, pitch pockets, and the variations of steambent wood. Merchandise will not be replaced because of these natural variations. It is expressly understood and agreed that the buyer's sole and exclusive remedy for any and all losses or damages resulting from nonconforming goods, or from any other cause, shall be repair or replace- ment of defective parts, and that Gunlocke shall not be liable for damages or injury to persons or property, nor for replacement of the entire commercial unit, if repair or replacement of defective parts can reason- ably render the unit conforming. All warranty claims must be made in wri- ting by the original owner. Owner may be required to produce the invoice or other evidence to establish that a claim is within the warranty period. Warranty claims may be submitted on the Gunlocke website. https://apps.gunlockeadvantage.com /QualityFeedback/ As stated and illustrated on the website, serial numbers are required to process a warranty claim. No person, firm or corporation is authorized to assume for Gunlocke any liability in connection with the sale or installation of Gunlocke prod- ucts except as stated above. All other warranties, expressed or implied, are excluded. Gunlocke shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages of any sort.

The disclosure is required for all contracts in excess of $17,500 that are not awarded pursuant to a "fair and open" process (N J.S.A. 19:44A-20.7). 2. Due to the potential length of some contractor submissions, the public agency should consider allowing data to be submitted in electronic form (i.e., spreadsheet, pdf file, etc.). Submissions must be kept with the contract documents or in an appropriate computer file and be available for public access. The form is worded to accept this alternate submission. The text should be amended if electronic submission will not be allowed. 3. The submission must be received from the contractor and on file at least 10 days priorto award of the contract. Resolutions of award should reflect that the disclosure has been received and is on file. 4.

Some contractors may find it easier to provide a single list that covers all contributions, regardless of the county. These submissions are appropriate and should be accepted. d. The form may be used "as -is", subject to edits as described herein. e. The "Contractor Instructions" sheet is intended to be provided with the form. It is recommended thatthe Instructions and the form be printed on the same piece of paper. The form notes that the Instructions are printed on the back of the form; where that is not the case, the text should be edited accordingly. f. The form is a Word document and can be edited to meet local needs, and posted fordownload on web sites, used as an e-mail attachment, or provided as a printed document. 5.
