SUBCONTRACTING SERVICES FFS intends to complete as much work as possible through self-performance using our own personnel and resources. However, when specialized services or repairs fall outside our in-house capabilities, we will coordinate qualified, licensed vendors as a pass-through arrangement with no markup—unlike most firms that add contractor fees to subcontracted work. FFS will perform all property management, tenant relations, financial reporting, and compliance functions with our own personnel. Routine maintenance and repair services that can be performed in-house will be handled by our staff. When outside vendors are required for specialized work, FFS will manage the vendor relationship, coordinate scheduling, and ensure quality control, but all vendor costs will be passed through to the Authority at actual cost with zero markup. All vendors will be required to maintain appropriate insurance and comply with prevailing wage requirements where applicable. Major capital projects will be competitively bid in accordance with the Authority's procurement requirements. This pass-through model provides the Authority with maximum cost transparency and eliminates unnecessary contractor markup fees while maintaining FFS's single point of accountability for all facility operations. 9.
