“Doing more with less” has been an on-going phrase heard over the years, particularly
during the budget planning cycles, and taken to task. To implement processes that
produce favorable results to meet all stakeholders’ needs is ideal. And to do so, utilizing the

Nation’s resources responsibly and to the fullest is even more ideal. In order to improve
operational effectiveness and efficiencies for the OGC and its departments, leveraging
technology is a focal point of such improvement
EXPECTATIONS/FUTURE PLANS REGARDING THE OUTCOME/GOAL:

Use the space below to describe what they can expect to see in the future (i.e. 6 months; next
year; 18 months) from the BCC related to the BCC reaching the Three-Year outcome/ goal. For
example: what will the BCC be working on to realize the SMART goals in the Triennial Strategic
Plan related to the Three-Year outcome/goal above or what will the BCC be working on to reach
the Three-Year outcome/goal above? 150 words max
Attempting to utilize what the Nation has already invested in, namely OnBase, to create
customized work flows is not working out as anticipated. Surveillance reporting and
employee licensing information, as well as regulatory compliance matters, need more
targeted project attention. It’s been determined that a turn-key solution must be
considered at this point

Outcome/Goal # 3
Determine staff competencies and expectations, evaluate staff and identify gaps, and train
accordingly.
IS THIS A LONG-TERM OR QUARTERLY GOAL?

Long-term

Use the Dropdown Menu below to choose the Good Governance Principle which the Three-year
outcome/goal above supports.
GOOD GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLE:
Accountability - The acknowledgement and assumption of responsibility for decisions and
actions as well as the applicable rules of law
HOW OUTCOME/GOAL SUPPORTS THE GOOD GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLE:

Use the space below to describe how the Three-Year outcome/goal above supports the Good
Governance Principle chosen. 150 words max
Accountability is achievable when expectations are communicated, and stakeholders are
held to those expectations. In order to ensure the OGC departments are sufficiently
accountable, required competencies must first be identified, staff evaluated,
andsubsequently trained, accordingly. For accountability-sake, stakeholders need to
acknowledge determined expectations and be held to them as standards of performance

have occurred over the first half of the fiscal year that will help the BCC reach the Three-Year
outcome/goal. 150 words max
Each department of the OGC has developed annual SMART Goals to move this goal
forward. Competencies and expectations have been identified, staff evaluated and
trained identified and/or planned for all departments to ensure staff is aware and
understands expectations. The Surveillance department has already initiated on-going staff
training with periodic assessments. The training material continues to be improved upon as
the on-going assessments ensue

Sustain Oneida has been ongoing project that has utilized a demographer to analyze
membership information to provide current statistics and assist in future projections of the
enrolled membership focusing on present day enrollment blood quantum criteria.
A C C O MPLISHMENTS REG ARDING THE O UTC O ME/ G O AL:

The Sustain Oneida project was poised to present a demographer’s analysis of the Oneida
Nation’s population at a Special GTC Meeting originally scheduled for March 16, 2020. The
presentation was to provide information and a plan to continue community outreach meetings
with a goal to assist membership on how they would like to proceed. The GTC meeting was
rescheduled due to an unrelated GTC motion, and then with the “Safe at Home” procedures
instilled from COVID‐19, the GTC Meeting and all community meetings were cancelled.

With the social distancing measures in place and the implementation of Tier V Budget

functions, including accounting and contracting management, human resource management, IT
support, overall management, and marketing, bid and proposal. Below is a summary of OESC

Narrative Report
a. Explanation of the core of the Corporation’s business practices and market overview

company that owns, leases and sub-lease various real estate holdings in and around the
Oneida Nation Reservation. The overall goal is to grow the portfolio that meets the needs of
the Oneida Nation and the Northeastern WI.
b. Explanation of the Corporation’s current place within the market
OESC operates in a fiercely competitive and expanding market. An abundance of
Architecture / Engineering / Construction (AEC) firms provide similar services offered by
OESC. Competitive factors for our success include performance reputation, network, price,
geographic location, and availability of technically skilled personnel (flexibility).
Three of the top five federal spending agencies awarding non-competitive contracts are
OESC customers.
c. Explanation of the outlines of strategies by the Corporation for improved value in the
market
OESC’s subsidiaries are positioned to take advantage of existing relationships, contracts and
networks OTIE established since 2008.
We continuously evaluate solutions to broaden and capture a larger share of the Federal and
State markets. Each subsidiary operates based on primary NAICS codes with secondary
NAIC codes that overlap with the sister companies.
d. Explanation of the Corporation’s relative performance vs. competitors and
identification of key competitors within the market
Our competitors include: Small Businesses, Alaskan Native Corporations (ANCs); Native
American Owned, tribally-owned small businesses; and Native Hawaiian Organizations
(NHOs). Each of these businesses is in a category of small business that may be awarded
prime contracts without competition. Oneida ESC subsidiaries also compete against other
8(a) firms for set-aside acquisitions, including small businesses that are categorized as
OESC 2nd Quarter Report 2020

Public Packet

Oneida ESC Group, LLC 2020
Woman-Owned, HUB Zone, Service Disabled Veteran Owned small business, and others.
Finally, Oneida ESC competes in the full and open markets without restrictions.
Typical competitors for OTIE include Small Business firms with fewer than 750 employees
in NAICS 562910. Another area of significant competition is the regional Transportation
Engineering firms in Wisconsin for WI DOT work (OES).
e. Explanation of any material changes or developments in the market or nature of
business the Corporation is primarily engaged in since the last reporting period.
We are starting to see more opportunities emerge from our federal customers, particularly in
our core competencies, but it will take time to propose, win and execute those opportunities.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic may change the dynamic of awards. Conversations from
customers indicates that some agencies will continue to spend and others feel that spending
will be reined in to account for all the stimulus funding, we continue to keep a close eye on
the situation.
f. Identification of the primary goals and targets of the Corporation and progress made
towards accomplishment of the same
Goals for Oneida ESC Group
Growth at a reasonable rate is the primary business goal for OESC. Financial reward for
OESC is when we align our investment strategies according to our client’s mission priorities.
Targets for OESC Subsidiaries:
Opportunities continue to exist in geographies where OTIE, MS2, SRS and OES have
successful past performance; and where personnel involved in such projects have established
strong relationships with teaming partners and clients. Opportunities continue to emerge
based on combined efforts of OESC’s marketing and sales efforts. Target clients continue to
include Department of Defense agencies (various bases – Navy, Air Force, and Army),
Environmental Protection Agency, WI Department of Transportation, Milwaukee
Metropolitan Sewer District and the Oneida Nation.
New target clients include extended services on existing bases, geographical growth on
“new” bases where OESC has not performed work on in the past, municipalities
geographically related to OESC offices and other Tribal Nations.

g. Identification of key elements for success in strategies given, including risks, resources
and relations available and needed in order to successfully fulfill outlined strategies
Key elements for success in the OESC model include:
• Meeting performance indicators, including safety, staff turnover, profitability, staff
utilization, backlog and capacity.
• Adapting to a changing customer base, contract type, or key skill set. We recognize and
reconfigure based on identified needs to delivery strategic growth.
• Identification of contract capacity and access is under regular review.
• Increasing our geographic footprint and capabilities.
Risk in the marketplace
• We operate in highly competitive industries
• Contracting is often erratic and unpredictable; cancellations or delays in pending awards
by government agencies could adversely affect us
• International operations carries additional risk
• Loss of key personnel
• Adoption of new contract laws or regulations.
h. Identification of medium (two to five year) and long (greater than five year) prospects
and sustainability of the Corporation given the present status, strategies and risks
Our medium and long range prospects for sustainability are balanced by business
diversification and consistent project management delivery.
We have successfully groomed long-term business relationships with key US Agencies for
services delivered around the world. Contracting with the US government remains a reliable
strategy in terms of payment, stability, and growth opportunity.
Medium-term prospects
OESC’s prospects in the two- to five-year term rely on our sturdy performance in
engineering, science and construction to existing clients; adjacent clients/services and
geographic areas; and new service offerings to new clients. OESC continues to focus on
business development and talent acquisition to meet our growth metrics.
Long-term prospects
OESC envisions steady growth with our key customers over the long term. OESC is nimble
and agile, allowing us to focus on governments funding flows.
Continued reliance on low-price awards is a staple in our business model and we continue to
adjust the pricing structure to ensure that we remain competitive. We continue to concentrate
marketing efforts on maximizing our return on investment through expanding support for
existing customers, developing tasks under existing contracts, and collaborating with firms
that need either small business participation or our specialized expertise.

i. Explanation of market growth (if any) experienced by the Corporation, identifying
sources of growth (i.e., organic growth through market share increase, volume of
business increase, acquisition of competition or other assets, etc.)

operations and compliance services. We also see growth in our traditional engineering
services such as civil, mechanical, electrical, etc.

k. Summary and status of any pending legal action to which the Corporation is a party
and any relevant government regulation to which the Corporation may be subject.
One of GMC’s subcontractors has threatened to file a mediation claim against GMC. GMC
terminated the subcontractor’s subcontract for default. GMC has calculated that the total
backcharge the sub owes to GMC due to the sub’s poor performance is $26K, and is
defensible. After retaining the backcharge amount, GMC owes the sub $31K for work that
was performed and accepted. The sub disagrees with the amount withheld for backcharges.
After internal GMC discussion, GMC agreed to reduce backcharge to $23K, but will not
agree to any further reduction. The sub said they'll go to mediation. GMC's position is very
strong, and stays at $23K backcharges or go to mediation.
