One Partner Network. Multiple Contracting Environments.
Federal, state, local, and commercial projects each operate under different procurement rules, labor requirements, bonding standards, payment processes, and project controls. Fillmore helps partners understand those differences early so teams can price accurately, mobilize faster, stay compliant, and execute with fewer surprises.
Federal
Fillmore's strongest operating experience is in the federal marketplace, supporting agencies through prime contracts, task orders, simplified acquisitions, set-asides, and other federal acquisition vehicles.
- Contract structure: FAR-based acquisitions, firm-fixed-price contracts, task orders, IDIQs, simplified acquisitions, and small-business set-aside opportunities.
- Labor compliance: Davis-Bacon and Service Contract Labor Standards may apply depending on the scope, with applicable wage determinations, payroll documentation, and reporting requirements.
- Bonding and insurance: Performance, payment, and insurance requirements are driven by the solicitation, contract value, and project type.
Pre-bid scope review, compliance screening, subcontractor qualification, estimating coordination, mobilization planning, documentation standards, billing support, and post-award contract administration.
State
State agencies and authorities operate under procurement rules that can differ significantly by jurisdiction.
- State-specific solicitation and contract requirements
- Prevailing-wage requirements where applicable
- State bonding and insurance requirements
- State-specific licensing, registration, and notice requirements
- Different invoicing, prompt-payment, and change-management procedures
Fillmore reviews applicable procurement and project requirements before bid and award so partners understand documentation, labor, insurance, licensing, and performance expectations before mobilization.
Local
Counties, municipalities, school systems, authorities, and other local public bodies often combine state procurement requirements with local bidding and operational procedures.
- Local solicitations and cooperative purchasing
- Job order and task-order contracting
- Project-specific prevailing-wage requirements where applicable
- Bonding and insurance requirements for public work
- Local permitting, licensing, and access requirements
Our team helps coordinate project startup, documentation, scheduling, subcontractor requirements, and owner communication so field teams can remain focused on execution.
Commercial
Fillmore also works with private owners, developers, general contractors, and facility operators seeking reliable construction, maintenance, logistics, and specialty-trade support.
- Negotiated subcontracts and purchase orders
- Master service agreements
- Owner- or prime-specific insurance and safety requirements
- Project-specific payment and retainage terms
- Faster procurement cycles than many public-sector contracts
Fillmore brings the same disciplined estimating, documentation, partner qualification, project controls, and performance-management standards used on federal work to commercial projects.
Why This Matters to Our Partners
A strong trade partner should not have to become an expert in every procurement environment before entering a project. Fillmore's role is to help translate contract requirements into clear operating expectations before work begins.
Know the Rules Before Pricing
Understand contract, labor, insurance, bonding, and documentation requirements before committing pricing.
Understand Compliance Before Mobilization
Identify wage, safety, quality, licensing, reporting, and project-specific requirements before crews arrive onsite.
Align Scope Before Execution
Clarify scope boundaries, responsibilities, submittals, schedule expectations, and documentation requirements early.
Protect Schedule, Cash Flow & Performance
Use disciplined project controls, communication, documentation, and issue escalation throughout project execution.
