11) Ways to identify new subs in foreign geographic areas;
Regarding our efforts to put the Segovia-Leopardo/IAP-Leopardo/Leopardo (per applicable project) name in the marketplace to solicit bids, please see the following:
Texas - ARC
1. Initially, we partnered with Segovia and utilized their bid list as the root file for the effort (although after action review seems to indicate few bids were submitted to us from this list). 2. We then built upon the Segovia list by supplementing it with any Texas & Austin-San Marcos-San Antonio Area bidders in our system. 3. Also included in our list were any bidders willing to travel that we bid on previous Federal Market bid efforts and bidders from the Southeast US 4. Then we reached out to the following organizations targeting the Austin-San Marcos-San Antonio Area specifically (150 mile radius): a.
ABC – Posted our info to their membership b. ASA- Posted our info to their membership c. Central Texas Subcontractors Association d. Central Texas Construction Association comprised of: i. Associated Plumbing & HVAC Contractors ii. Mechanical Contractors Association of Texas
iii. NECA iv. PDCA v. Precast Association of Texas vi. Texas Fire Sprinklers Association
vii. Texas Glass Association viii. Texas Masonry Council e. San Marcos Chamber of Commerce 5. Finally we utilized a massive Texas database from Paul Rentzelos with thousands of listings and mass broadcast our ITB 6. This ultimately yielded average coverage of six (6) – twelve (12) bids per trade, but still not the response we were expecting. 7. Due to a limited amount of time we had the issue the ITB’s in the following ways: a. Traditional broadcast via our system b. Fax broadcast on a dedicated system established by Paul Rentzelos with data administrated by Jeff Kramer c. We also had Segovia issue the ITB to their list via fax, although I am not sure to what extent they reached their audience. 8. A very large amount of data was handled/input into the system. As invitees responded yes or no to bidding, they were added to our overall master list we are establishing in our system, non- responsive solicitations are remaining on our fax list for rebroadcast on the next project. 9. We also solicited any/all applicable bidders who registered on the FBO website with interest in the project. Texas – Lackland AFB
1. We have built upon the efforts of our ARC project, utilizing it as our root file for this project.
