CONTRACT SERVICES

Experience and Capabilities Mercury Associates, Inc. is a dedicated fleet management consulting firm that assists organizations in improving the management and operation of their vehicle and equipment fleets.

Mercury also offers specialized services related to human resource mobility, transportation, and relocation.

Mercury’s consulting services touch on virtually every facet of fleet management and operation, ranging from broad-based assessments of fleet management organizational structures, staffing levels, facilities and equipment, and business practices, to tightly focused analyses of a single issue or opportunity such as "Can we reduce the size of our fleet?" "Should we replace our fleet management information system?" “How can we reduce our maintenance and repair expenditures?” or “Should we lease or buy vehicles?” We also provide many different types of implementation and management support services to fleet owners such as information system requirements definition, selection, and implementation; development of RFPs for vehicles and equipment, maintenance and repair parts, fuel, and third-party services ranging from fuel management to parts management to fleet maintenance and repair; business process redesign;

cost charge-back rate development; policy and procedure development; and management training.

Mercury’s consultants have worked with a wide array of governmental jurisdictions, with fleets ranging in size from fewer than 10 to more than 200,000 vehicles and pieces of equipment. For the US federal government, we have provided services to the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps; 13 of 16 executive branch departments (Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, Interior, Transportation, State, etc.); and the General Services Administration, NASA, the US Postal Service, and the Smithsonian Institution. In particular, we specialize in proving Vehicle Allocation Methodology and Fleet Management Plan services to federal agencies. In addition, our professionals have worked with one or more agencies in 34 state governments; with more than 40 colleges and universities; and with more than 40 investor-owned and municipally owned utilities.

Mercury consultants have extensive experience managing large and complex projects with short turn-around times. We have the proven ability to coordinate a team of experts in applying tested management tools and techniques, including project plans, responsibility matrices, process/people flowcharts, and work-flow diagrams. We have developed an array of analytical software tools that put information into the hands of decision-makers. Our consultants apply facilitation skills and quality-management processes and techniques (e.g., brainstorming and affinity grouping, force-field analysis, flowcharting and process analysis, meeting management, leading discussion groups), as needed, in conducting their projects. Mercury employs a formal quality control program to ensure that our services provide maximum value to our clients.

Overall, government organizations can tap Mercury’s logistics and fleet research and consulting services and systems to achieve new levels of efficiency, cost-reduction, and regulatory compliance. As organizational-change consultants, we assist clients with preparation of policies suitable to organizational goals, objectives, culture, and constantly shifting external forces.

Strategic planning and policy projects invariably include a due diligence cost study (as-is vs. to-be), best practice(s) assessment, benchmarking (cost, typical policies among organizations), and development of tiered programs and approaches for personnel categories and/or diverse organizational missions.

Project Plan and Budget

A requirement for every task order is to develop a plan of work and budget. At a kick-off meeting, the Mercury project director presents a Gantt that illustrates the plan of work, allocated resources by task, and a timeline specifying milestones and deliverables. The purpose of this step is to ensure clarity of goals and objectives and to secure plan concurrence (generally with the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative). Mercury then uses its scheduling, time management, and time and expense reporting procedures for delivering services in accordance with the plan and budget. Our experience has demonstrated that our project planning and procedures keep the plan of work on track and ensure client satisfaction.

Time Management and Cost Control

Reports from our Project Management System (PSA) enable project directors to manage labor and cost relative to plan. In our experience, active oversight of time and cost is critical to assuring service quality (a budget overrun can lead to cutting corners and deterioration of service quality).

Progress Monitoring and Reporting

We communicate regularly with our clients throughout the course of each engagement to ensure that they are aware of our progress and to give them a “preview” of our findings, conclusions, and recommendations as they emerge from our field work and data analysis. Depending on the size, complexity, and duration of the engagement, our progress reporting may be relatively informal, occurring through conversations when we are on site and through periodic telephone calls with the client’s project director, or it may be highly structured, encompassing the use of written reports and formally scheduled and conducted meetings with a steering committee. The key objective is to avoid surprises by encouraging the frequent and
