TELACU construction management utilizes a clear and efficient approach to the costing of our services that
allows for transparency and owner control. The fees for our services are typically based on hourly rates for an

1.2 Proposed Timeline
TELACU Construction Management has generated a Pre-construction and Bidding/Procurement Schedule
that is included as an exhibit to our proposal. The schedule incorporates the anticipated milestones that were
provided in the RFP and also assumes a design-bid-build delivery approach to a single contracting entity. It is
understood that MRCA and the selected CM may discuss contractor pre-qualification procedures and
alternate bid strategies at a later date at which time additional activities and corresponding durations may then
be incorporated into the Pre-construction and Bidding/Procurement Schedule. TELACU Construction
Management is highly experienced in all public contract delivery methods and the proposed schedule may be
adjusted to accommodate any preferred delivery method.
In addition to the proposed Pre-Construction and Bidding/Procurement schedule, the number of staff hours
and turnaround time for the milestone activities are summarized below. The staff hours reflect TELACU
Construction Management’s anticipated resources required to complete the key milestone activities for the
project but are not in addition to the Fee Proposal Summary.

the for-profit subsidiary of TELACU, the nation’s largest Community Development Corporation
(CDC). Founded in 1968, TELACU was formed on the principle that business ventures should
enhance the community and positively impact people’s lives.
The founders of TELACU recognized the need for the construction of community assets, such as
schools, parks, municipal structures, roads, and infrastructure. TCM is committed to providing
its clients and their communities with the leadership and innovation required for the management
and successful completion of projects and programs.
TELACU recirculates the dollars earned from TCM and its other for-profit companies to fund
social initiatives such as a nationally renowned scholarship program, more than 1,600 units of
affordable housing, workforce development programs, and a variety of other initiatives to
ensure economic equality and social justice.
While the impact of TELACU’s social programs are exceptional, each subsidiary must provide
world-class service in the technical areas in which they operate. With this in mind, TCM’s team
of 65 professionals provide superior service to clients in project management, program
management, and construction services. TCM is a leader in the planning, design and construction
of private and public projects, bringing management expertise to the completion of schools,
public buildings, capital improvement projects, transportation, governmental and medical facilities,
water transmission and distribution systems, public housing, and recreational centers. Utilizing
tested and proven management techniques, TCM directs all project delivery services, including
project development, design oversight, project funding, public outreach, and scheduling.
