Repost from last night from Lary Goss COO of trillacorp.
Hello QTraderQ - This is Larry Goss, COO of Trillacorpe Construction. I have not been part of this blog, but my name was mentioned so I thought I should post something. Looks like you're digging into some data, as you should, but it doesn't really tell the story, so please allow me to correct the record. First, Trillacorpe's 2011 Revenues will show north of $13 Million. This will come from a relatively large contract that we are completing for the Department of Defense, and several from the Department of Energy, not the VA. That said, our strategy over the past 12 months has been to prepare for the future by focusing more on strategic teaming arrangements with large businesses such as Johnson Controls, where we recently began working on a GSA sanctioned Mentor-Protege Program focusing on greening up GSA buildings (the GSA is the largest landlord in the country, as you may know, and there is now a mandate to increase the energy efficiency of those buildings). In that regard, we're holding a kick-off meeting this week for a new FEMA contract to do energy upgrades to some of their facilities. It will be a small pilot program, but hopefully it can become a template for more. So as you can see, we are doing business with a number of Federal agencies, not just the VA.
On the VA front,however, we've moved to real estate development (one of our core competencies) rather than strictly low-bid GC work. For example, we've teamed with a large $1B GC to submit a bid this Tuesday, 6/5 for the new VA Health Care Center in Fayatteville, N.C. That construction contract is approximately $100 Million and involves a 20 year lease of a build to suit facility to the VA. As to our private sector clients, we have established ourselves as credible consultants in the Federal contracting procurement arena, and so we now have several private sector clients, small and large businesses, who are interested in gaining market share in the Federal sector. Charles Sills, our Sr.VP is an invited speaker at the National Veteran Small Business Convention this year ( held in Detroit 6/26-29)on this topic. We are finding that this opens up even more unique strategic opportunities for Trillacorpe Construction for the future.
Regards,
Larry Goss
