8 IV. TESTIMONIAL The following is a description of our services articulated by our client: " I have had the pleasure of working with VASE Management over the past four years at three different housing authorities in varying capacity ranging from providing back office assistance to small and disadvantaged businesses to construction management. During that time, the firm has been an invaluable asset to helping these authorities achieve their goals and objectives. The firm s major asset is its wide range of expertise in almost every aspect of business development and construction. This myriad of skills ensures that customers of the firm will receive services that are comprehensive and thorough. Moreover, the firm s ability to provide one stop shopping means those customers can meet most of the business development and construction needs by merely clicking on the firm s highly interactive and well maintained website. The website provides a portal to hundreds of qualified small and disadvantaged businesses that have been screened by VASE to ensure that they have the capacity to complete any work awarded to them by your agency. The website also provides a quick and economically way for your agency to meet its federal, state and local requirements to outreach to small and disadvantaged businesses. VASE can manage this outreach and recruitment process which means that you will be able to not only meet or exceed your EEO/MBE/WBE mandates but have access to data that will enable you to complete your semi-annual and annual EEO/MBE/WBE reporting requirements. 8

9 Indeed, for many small agencies that does not have the internal resources to manage their EEO compliance process, VASE offers an excellent alternative to outsource this process, thereby saving time and money. Along with offering a full range of services that will enable you to meet or exceed your EEO/MBE/WBE goals and objectives, VASE has the capacity to serve as a general contractor or construction manager on almost every type of construction project. These services when combined with the firm s website and back-office technical assistance programs means that your agency has a simple and economical way to not only oversee its construction projects, but coordinates its EEO/MBE/WBE compliance efforts in a way that is both effective and cost efficient.
