SIN: 132-51 Information Technology Services

Development of PETS – As a result of the optional analysis and systems analysis performed by the Information Technology Unit Head and the problematic information that was developed by the Contract Manager as to the “what if” qualifying statements for each decision block in the schematic of the system design document, PETS was developed into a functional system utilized by DFW Group, Inc. for the last four years.

Development of COMS – DFW Group, Inc.’s Information Technology staff demonstrated the capabilities to develop an electronic information transfer system in the initial pilot of PETS.

Analysis of delayed information processing and sharing with other stakeholders in the federal government caused DFW Group, Inc. to commence evaluation of a partnering effort to alleviate the delays. The outcome was the development of a data system service that allowed for automated on-line retrieval of data and reports by HUD officials and the Government Technical Representative’s (GTRs) on an at-will basis. This on-line data system was piloted by HUD’s Fort Worth office and demonstrated for the Atlanta HOC, and specifically for the GTRs involved in construction inspection projects for Alabama and Florida. Based upon the success that DFW Group, Inc. had with PETS, HUD incorporated into its new solicitations for construction inspection support services the requirement for an electronic transmission system to be utilized by all construction inspection contractors.

The following represents specific commercial contracts for IT support services that DFW Group, Inc. has performed, and these are designed to establish capabilities by identifying commercial concerns for which services were provided:

HISTORY

Of

DFW Group is a woman-owned, minority, SDB, small business incorporated in 1985 within the State of Texas. Anita Wells, a Native American, is founder and president. The corporation graduated on 06/02 by SBA from its 8(a) program; it is SBA SDB certified and HUB certified by the State of Texas.

Also, DFW Group is WMBE certified by the State of Texas, and is a HUB Zone corporation.

The corporation’s offices are in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Satellite offices for Real Estate Asset Management for HUD have been established in Las Vegas, Nevada, Jonesboro, Arkansas, Shreveport, Louisiana and Atlanta, Georgia. Offices in Birmingham, Alabama and Jackson, Mississippi were established for REO Appraisals for HUD in these states. DFW Group is organized to permit it to effectively perform services at remote sites throughout 28 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

At the time of its formation in 1985 DFW Group provided support services that were typically associated with Real Estate Asset Management and the marketing of properties as well as their property management and maintenance. The company operated as a full service real estate broker and as such provided services associated with property management and marketing as well as with the evaluation of rental basis for revenue creation. As a real estate broker, company president, Anita Wells, holds real estate broker licenses in multiple states.

In 1992 DFW Group established insurance adjuster services for emergency response to natural disasters throughout the United States. Following its expansion into these insurance adjuster services, DFW Group contracted with A&E firm to make assessments of compliance with handicapped accessibility factors for public housing properties for HUD.

Over the past 17 years DFW Group grew from a corporation principally involved in real estate operations and property management services to one that expanded to provide contract services for federal and state government agencies and subcontract services for government contractors and commercial concerns. Expansion efforts continue, and the company now provides service support for inspections of multifamily construction and substantial rehabilitation properties along with Quality Assurance inspections of management and marketing contractors for HUD.

Over the past three years major growth and expansion occurred with the concentration on providing appraisal services. These are now a prominent part of the support services provided by DFW Group including commercial appraisals and associated appraisal efforts associated with performing rent comparable studies for HUD and for public housing authorities. In 2000 HUD awarded its Appraisal Quality Assurance Review contract under a nationwide contract, and this one covered the state of Texas. These services included review and oversight of appraisals upon which FHA-direct lenders based their decisions to make guaranteed loans. DFW Group performed contracts awarded for services in the areas of field review appraisals, quality assurance appraisals and HUD REO appraisals.

DFW Group incorporated expansion into facility management, cleaning and mowing including embankment mowing. Industrial mowing equipment, tractors and trailers were acquired to perform industrial mowing over long stretches of interstate highway right-of-ways. Special equipment was acquired to provide facility cleaning and mowing and potable and non-potable water monitoring and treatment for parks and lake areas under contract awards for the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.

During the past three years DFW Group has concentrated on providing services to public housing authorities throughout the United States. These services include annual inspections, UPCS, HQS and handicapped accessibility inspections as well as performing needs assessments for these entities. DFW Group has a group of HUD-certified, qualified inspectors available to provide inspection services for UPIA and UPCS inspections. Within the past two years DFW Group has expanded its service support for public housing authorities to include providing documentation of fair market rent comparable data and analysis to support administering of Section 8 rental voucher assistance programs. Coupled with these services, DFW Group has provided support services for PHAs to develop preliminary inspection data to permit development of scoring consistent with HUD scoring of PHA’s properties. These services including collection of data and recommendations as to approaches that the PHAs may use to mitigate deficiencies and achieve effective utilization of resources. A table of contract awards reproduced as part of this brochure identifies the work performed for individual PHAs, and demonstrates timely and quality performance with repeat contract awards for successive years.

During this same period auctioning services have been provided.

Continuing with the services of property management for HUD in its past performance of HUD Real Estate Asset Management Contracts, DFW Group provides property management services for single-family rental properties. Since 1992 it has concentrated on facets of property management and maintenance support services for Quality Assurance and support for appraisal and valuation of properties. These facets addressed commercial properties and multifamily units.

In 1998 DFW Group established a division in its corporate structure dedicated to providing multifamily and construction management and representation services for federal agencies and for the state of Texas. DFW Group provides support to HUD in the construction inspection and contract administration for more than 400 individual multifamily projects throughout the United States. These support services involve the review of architectural plans and designs, onsite oversight of construction, review for compliance with federal labor laws, and development of construction estimates and options for redesign and selection of materials where construction in progress dictates changes. These services include maintenance of as built plans, and the documentation of basis for equitable adjustments, contract modifications and control of prime contractor’s draws as well as control of inventory of materials on the construction site. This work has entailed primarily new construction with some substantial renovations. Services include special property inspections of management and marketing contractors for HUD.

DFW Group, as a general contractor, has contracted for the renovation and construction of both residential and commercial properties.

Services are provided under contract to provide real estate asset management, survey and data collection, disaster relief assistance, and insurance adjuster support.

Trained professional managers and project directors are retained by DFW Group, are detailed for assignment to provide oversight and progressive approaches to delivery of services.

Information technology and automated processes and procedures are critical technical support functions incorporated by DFW Group into its service delivery. Data collection and dissemination are primary functions of the Information Technology Unit of DFW Group. This unit provides technical expertise for automated processes and procedures to accumulate data and produce management reports. The IT Unit operates a system of database records designed to capture significant information, generate reports and document specific information as well as achieving archiving and retrieval services. DFW Group, Inc. has performed for HUD in the development and piloting of the COMS data collection, archiving, reporting and communication system is a significant accomplishment for this small business and it denotes the capabilities of the IT Unit.

Technical specialists in the IT Unit are proficient and experienced in designing, establishing and maintaining an Internet site. DFW Group’s web site is an example of its ability to provide these services for clients, and its continued maintenance of cutting edge technology to remain a successful competitor for service delivery.

Corporate Contract Simplifies Procurement of Services from DFW GROUP:
