"Unparalleled Expertise and Experience"
Summary:

In sum, CTC’s enhanced/restructured team offers a breadth and depth of experience that can help CCBWG’s plan more effectively, be more productive, improve their processes, reduce costs, and fulfill key requirements. Under our Contractor Team Arrangement, CTC can meet commission needs by quickly providing a total solution that combines the supplies and services from our team members' separate GSA Schedule contracts and other sources. Our team members have worked together successfully on many projects and our personal relationships, in some cases, go back 30 years. Moreover, some of our key personnel are officers in more than one of our team member companies. Our team members have formed this strategic alliance to offer complementary services. Our customers benefit from this arrangement by buying a solution rather than making separate buys from various contractors.

Company Description:

Creative Team Concepts, LLC (CTC) is and has been a well recognized name within the Department of Defense (DoD) basing infrastructure arena, both inside the military establishment and outside in the private sector. CTC’s original mission was focused primarily on supporting the DoD’s infrastructure streamlining processes. In that role, CTC established the mold for others to emulate. Now, CTC has enhanced its abilities to provide services by teaming with other select groups to provide a one-stop shopping for much needed support functions. The enhanced/restructured CTC can now provide complete Commission support from cradle to grave. A brief recap of the original CTC and the enhanced/restructured CTC follows:

Original CTC Mission and Members

When someone mentions CTC, most will recall a group of experts who worked together for many years onOSD and private sector basing infrastructure projects. These CTC professionals worked on; infrastructure streamlining, military base closure, and reuse activities for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Army, Air Force, Navy, and Defense Base Closure Commission. And, in fact, many members and associates were the architects of the development and implementation of base realignment and closure (BRAC) procedures, policies, and guidelines. The BRAC experience of CTC's members and associates was used by many organizations. In fact, CTC members and associates have completed several sole-source contracts with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and have won several other competitive contracts with the Office of the Secretary of Defense. CTC tasks ranged from supporting the efforts to obtain Congressional approval for future BRAC authority to helping develop a BRAC process to help implement the process. These efforts were totally successful, e.g., the Congressional authority for a BRAC in 2005 and the execution of that BRACeffort. Additionally, CTC members have:

  • Drafted a “Remobilization Study” for the Department of Defense – in response to a congressional request to analyze the impact of past BRAC actions on readiness to respond to potential threats – CTC teamed with the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) to complete this effort.
  • Drafted a BRAC Handbook for the Department of Defense – this handbook served as the “How To” guide for BRAC.

CTC’s “Unparalleled Expertise and Experience” cannot be matched:

  • Expert knowledge of base closure laws and regulations.
  • Initiated and overseen the program for transitioning excess property to community reuse, including negotiating property transfers.
  • Been key members of the Secretary of Defense's BRAC Policy Working and Executive Groups.
  • Been Directors of DoD BRAC teams (both OSD and all Services).
  • Organized and served as charter members of the Secretary of Defense's Base Transition Office.
  • Testified before Congress, BRAC Commission, and others on BRAC development and implementation issues.
  • Successfully teamed with local communities, states, and organizations to provide advice on basing infrastructure issues to include privatization opportunities (e.g. housing & utilities).
  • Augmented over twenty community teams during prior BRAC rounds.
  • Assisted numerous communities in streamlining their redevelopment activities, including renegotiations of prior agreements between Local Redevelopment Authorities and the military services.
  • Teamed with Congressional members and their delegations in gaining DoD funding for special projects.
  • Teamed with organizations/groups in developing win-win scenarios for private sector development of facilities for public sector use, e.g., unaccompanied/hotel construction, and privatized family housing projects.
  • Worked with several potential international clients in developing methods to address their concerns ranging from military preparedness to adequate transportation infrastructure.

Enhanced/Restructured CTC Mission and Members

The enhanced/restructured CTC is a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that brings together four companies with extensive experience working together in a Contractor Team Arrangement to support Committees, Commissions, Boards and Work Groups (CCBWG). CTC is fully prepared to support requirements with minimal advance notice. CTC can now provide; staff, office equipment,IT and document management solutions, and, perhaps most importantly, managers with experience in working a board range of issues including establishing, operating, and disestablishing CCBWGs.

CTC now has a Contractor Team Arrangement

Under this Contractor Team Arrangement, four GSA Schedule contractors (team members) will work together under the CTC umbrella. Complementing each other's capabilities, CTC offers a total solution to meet a newCCBWG’s requirements. This new arrangement, allows ordering activities to procure a total solution rather than making separate buys for each part of a CCBWG’s requirements. In addition, CTC can provide a much needed repeatable processes in the life of a CCBWG. CTC and its team members recognize the repeatable processes that characterize Commission work and has devised a methodology which not only captures those elements (thereby reducing time and saving costs) but has the expertise to handle virtually all facets of commission work. Some aspects of a repeatable process in the life of a commission follow:

Establishment

  • Identify requirements
  • Coordinate requirements with providers and support organizations
  • Provide an office manager, administrative support, and other personnel
  • Set up the office and office equipment
  • Provide IT support, including hardware, software and technical expertise
  • Procure required security, manage badges and clearances

Execution

  • Manage the office
  • Develop internal and public websites
  • Manage documentation
  • Provide support for staff, meetings, and travel
  • Publish final report, including editing, formatting, printing and dissemination

Disestablishment

  • Archive committee data and documents
  • Terminate committee personnel
  • Clean-up and return and account for equipment & supplies
  • Provide any technology needs necessary for final delivery

A brief recap of CTC’s enhanced/restructured membership follows:

1) Creative Team Concepts LLC (CTC), an enhanced/restructured Washington-based, SDVOSB, consulting firm is the lead company. CTC still maintains its ability to support military based issues as well as other issues at all levels: Federal, State, Local and/or Agency. CTC has a Management, Organizational and Business Improvement Services (MOBIS) Contract for Federal Supply Group 874 - Sin 874-1 from the General Services Administration. This schedule is based on thoroughly evaluated technical proposals and negotiated prices. See www.teamcon.com for specifics.

2) SSI Business Solutions (SSI) is a woman-owned professional services company focusing on Human Capital Management, Workforce Procurement and Staff Augmentation, IT Solutions, and Business Improvement Services. Its dedication to excellence is reflected in the numerous awards it has received, including the Small Business Administration’s “Small Business of the Year for the District of Columbia” in 2004, and in 2006, selection as one of the top 500 diversity-owned businesses in the United States.

One of the most difficult challenges facing new CCBWG’s is how to hire skilled contract and full-time employees quickly. SSI provides timely, responsive, and efficient solutions to staff CCBWG’s. SSI’s experienced recruiters find the most qualified candidates to meet the client’s requirements. SSI thoroughly screens, tests, interviews, and performs reference and background checks on job candidates. SSI has a secret facility clearance and is experienced with processing personnel for positions requiring security clearances.

SSI has a variety of contracting vehicles designed to deliver prompt and efficient service at pre-negotiated prices. SSI is on both the GSA TAPS Schedule and the GSA IT Schedule 70. It also uses GovWorks, Blanket Purchase Agreements, and many other vehicles. See www.ssibizsol.com for additional information and specifics.

3) Qualitas Knowledge Management provides document management and legal staffing (both domestic and international) services to federal CCBWG’s and agencies, as well as private sector companies. It takes a "cradle to grave" approach to documents, managing the flow of information from document inception to archiving. From receipt or creation through destruction or permanent preservation, federal commission documents are subject to different requirements for timely retrieval, convenient distribution, and reliable, cost-effective storage. Key document management solutions include:

Document Capture

  • Imaging, Scanning, Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Document Storage and Preservation

  • Multimedia Archiving, Data Mining, Disaster Recovery

Document Management

  • Indexation, Categorization, Taxonomy, Version Control
  • Records Management, Contracts Management, Content Management
  • Collaboration, Workflow, Search and Retrieval, Portals

Qualitas Legal Services provides legal and IT expertise to the CTC team. Qualitas combines this deep domain expertise and applies it to forge creative solutions to document organization and manipulation as it applies to the legal process. Recently, Qualitas created an easily searchable site that had formerly consisted of approximately 1,000,000 pages in more than 50 formats for the Defense Department. The client was facing an avalanche of FOIA and (litigation) discovery requests, causing it to expend enormous manpower to “muscle through” its responses. With the Qualitas solution, the client was able to point to the site in response to those requests, thereby saving thousands of man hours of work and millions of dollars in expense. It was also able to comply with all the requirements of NARA. All this IT and human resource work (checking the documents for accuracy) was successfully concluded in 90 days and within budget. See www.qualitaskm.com for additional information.

4) OfficeRedi provides and furnishes offices for federal, state and municipal agencies and private clients. OfficeRedi is a part of W. M. Putnam Co., which is a veteran-owned, small business. Opening a commission office can be a huge drain on time and budget, especially if in-house staff is limited. OfficeRedi can relieve the pressure by managing every aspect of the process, from bare walls to a fully outfitted office. It can do this at less cost than most government agencies can. OfficeRedi’s process includes:

  • Space planning and design
  • Selection and ordering of furniture, equipment and accessories
  • Staging, delivery and installation of everything at one time
  • Consolidating all vendor billing into one invoice
  • Asset management and reporting
  • Establishing a web-based company store for replenishing key supplies

One example of OfficeRedi’s work is the procurement, staging, delivery and installation of all components of over 4,500 new agency offices of a major insurance company throughout the U.S. The customer has periodically tested OfficeRedi’s cost performance and has indicated that they cannot approach its performance. Benefits include:

  • Reduced inventory & warehouse space
  • Less administrative time and personnel
  • Procurement discounts on all items (using national contracts)
  • Integration of procurement with staging, delivery & installation
  • Application of intense, consistent process and technology
