We consistently build satisfactory and award winning projects for municipalities, local and state governments, K-12 and higher education clients. We have had much success in the task order delivery style of procurement resulting in consistent repeat clients over the past 25 years and we are always expanding our expertise with this style of delivery in the marketplace. FCI recruited our most recent project manager, Brian Lewis, to help promote and market our Job Order Contracting procurement. Mr. Lewis has 9 years of Job Order Contracting experience, managing numerous JOC programs and catering to hundreds of JOC clients from local municipalities and government entities, K-12, higher education, and has tremendous experience working with statewide clients in a similar procurement to TCPN’s known as Mohave Educational Service Cooperative. Mr. Lewis brings the type of experience and leadership that will expand our capabilities with the JOC procurement. We look forward to successful relationships with all of TCPN’s current members and plan on recruiting new TCPN members to maximize the potential of this Job Order Contracting procurement and delivery method. LIST ACTUAL PROJECT EXPERIENCE AND COST ESTIMATING Estimating is an essential part of being competitive in the market place. FCI has been providing competitive estimates since its inception in 1978. We have perfected the ability to provide quality estimates in a timely manner while adapting to the fluid economic climates. We have mastered the task of estimating in effort to remain one of the most competitive firms in the industry. When estimating task order style contracts, we ensure that the scope of work clearly identifies the clients’ needs and wants the first time around. A good estimate is always preceded by an effective team site meeting defining the clients’ expectation to avoid multiple re-scoping and estimating efforts that could delay the process. Estimating this style of procurement is all about specificity in pricing only items required to complete the project and the timeliness to complete the estimate so the project can proceed as quickly as possible. Once expectations are known, we then proceed with unit pricing consistent with the scope of work. We utilize pre-priced estimating guides such as R.S. Means to ensure our estimates incorporate the most current unit pricing available and that they also include the required cost coefficients and city cost indexes necessary for a complete estimate up front. LIST CURRENT AND/OR PAST JOC CONTRACTS FCI has similar project experience that compares directly to Job Order Contracting. Projects include the United States Postal Service IDIQ for Arizona, over 9 years experience in Chinle Arizona performing remodel, maintenance, and new construction in a task order environment and Somerton School District being very similar in project nature to our Chinle Unified School District experience.

Job Order Contracting Services (2012) for TCPN Solicitation Number 12-23 Grand Junction • Denver • Durango • Phoenix • Cheyenne • Aztec 5 - MARKETING PLAN Page 26 Marketing strategies are an essential component to every company. At FCI, it is a core business model to promote networking and marketing strategies with new clients as well as existing repeat clients. Marketing Existing Clients: The marketing of existing clients starts with your first project. The best marketing you can ever do is to provide a client with the value and service they expect and then exceed those expectations. Although you do not stop there, it is critical that each member of the team promote a positive experience with safe on time projects within budget. Typically, we consider our superintendents to be our ambassadors in the field and thus they are the first person in contact with the client as issues may arise. Our superintendents are trained to assess situations and develop plans for the team to assess for resolution. FCI’s project managers work in concert with subcontractors, vendors and the client assuring a timely and positive outcome for all issues. In addition, our project managers meet regularly with clients addressing their concerns so FCI can elevate where to improve, consequently, we are also looking for clients’ positive experiences as well to ensure we keep focused on what we do well. Marketing New Clients: Many of FCI’s new clients are based on word of mouth and this is one main reason we strive to keep existing clients happy. However, any good marketing strategy must promote new clients in many different ways. We like to initiate new clients face-to-face to show the personal touch that we care and want to earn their business. Sitting with them and guiding them through our company brochure and providing testimonials face to face is much more effective that boiler plate e-mail and letters. At FCI, we are members of and attend the following organizations regularly: ABA, ACE and ASA partner’s in construction where we get to show and support our industry and local communities. Most of our existing and prospective clients attend these events and there is no better place to obtain good face-to-face dialogue with new clients. In addition, we have the opportunity to meet with existing clients, subcontractors and design professionals Brian Lewis, our project manager for this program has worked with a similar Job Order Contracting Program with the Mohave Education Service Cooperative for almost 9 years and has the experience working with and promoting this type of procurement and delivery method for all different types of public sector clients from municipalities and school districts. In conjunction with Mr. Lewis’ experience, FCI’s marketing team plans to regularly contact TCPN members vigorously promoting the benefits of Job Order Contracting explaining how it can help the member save money, time and how Job Order Contracting can help augment their staff at times where they may be under staffed. We also plan to organize and encourage new TCPN membership to take full advantage of this procurement. FCI intends to be the leading Job Order Contractor for your members and will market this procurement as a core business now and for the future of this program.
