Attn: Donna Bailloux, Senior Procurement Specialist 5000W Carefree Highway Pheonix, AZ. 85806

Dear Ms. Bailloux, et al:

First, let me thank you for the opportunity to support the Arizona Game and Fish Department in your critical mission. We value our partnership and remain committed to providing the exceptional quality and reliability your projects demand.

In light of the current economic environment and rising operational costs, we respectfully request your approval of a 4% price adjustment on our services. This request is driven by substantial increases in the following key areas:

1. Labor Costs: Retaining the highly skilled professionals required to safely and efficiently execute our services has necessitated wage adjustments to stay competitive in a tightening labor market.

2. Fuel Costs: With the ongoing rise in fuel prices, the expense of transporting equipment and operating our fleet has significantly increased.

3. Helicopter Maintenance Costs: The cost of maintaining our fleet of helicopters, including critical components such as rotor systems, avionics, and airframe materials has escalated due to supply chain constraints and increased material costs. Ensuring our helicopters remain in peak condition is essential to the safety and success of all operations. Supporting documentation from Bell Helicopter, detailing increases in these costs, is included as an attachment to this letter.

4. Housing and Employee Benefits Costs: Rising costs associated with housing employees on remote projects, such as hotels and accommodations, have added to our operating expenses. Additionally, we have made enhancements to employee insurance benefits to ensure the health and well-being of our workforce, reflecting our commitment to supporting our team and their families.

We have worked diligently to absorb as much of these rising costs as possible through operational efficiencies.

However, the cumulative impact has made it necessary to request this modest adjustment to ensure we can continue meeting your expectations without compromising safety, reliability, or service quality.

We deeply value our relationship with the Arizona Game and Fish Department and your understanding of the challenges we face in maintaining the highest level of operational excellence. If you have any questions or require additional information regarding this request, I would be happy to discuss it with you at your convenience.

I can be reached directly at 208-818-4658 or Morgan@LohmanHelicopter.com

Thank you for your consideration of this request. We remain committed to supporting your vital work and look forward to continuing our partnership.

Sincerely, Morgan Lohman, President
