                      ovacom’s primary objective is to align its capabilities and competencies with our client’s goals, thus
                      meeting all quarterly deadlines for on-air site development.

                      Results-Oriented Objectives:
                      •	 Meet all Client Submittal Goals

                      •	 Eliminate Cost Overruns
                      •	 Deliver Performance Based Pricing
Our approach provides client oversight through consultant reporting. This maintains client involvement through client interac-
tion review, while allowing Novacom to complete scheduled tasks, on time and within budget. Consequently, project flow moves
rapidly and efficiently without the need for constant supervision reinforcing our mantra “Your Network Is Our Business.”

              tain go/no-go site status. By looking at all site attributes, selec-
              tion is more plausible and accurate, thus reducing evaluation
              walk time. Site selection is qualified and filtered from the start.
              The site is right. The process is simple. Money and time are
              saved.




Novacom’s turn-key, synergistic interaction of cross-
trained personnel and departments streamlines
communication. For example, why wait for a
call or an email when a Novacom staff member
simply walks a few feet to speak with his colleague?
Resolution wait time is nearly eliminated. Map
corrections, site acquisition questions, related
jurisdictional interaction are all solved under one
roof. Novacom staff “sticks together” because they
are together. One roof means one solution—fast.

results



Decreased timelines for
submittals:
  All zoning and construction plans are submitted by trained,
licensed personnel. Curriers are used only on an “as needed”
basis. CDs are submitted by an on-site engineer. Rooftop sites
are walked with a structural engineer to ascertain feasibility
of construction, rather than best guess. Reviews and design
changes are conducted immediately. Permits are pulled by
Novacom personnel, holding a Class A General Engineering
contractors licenses, thus significantly reducing permitting
time.

End of the Blame Game:
  All personnel for site development and construction man-
agement work are under one roof, therefore there is no other
team member to blame. Site Aquisition cannot blame the A&E
for lack of drawings or the A&E blame the surveyor for lack of
a map etc. One company, one team, one result, one solution.

“I found Calvada Environmental Services to be one of the
easiest companies I have ever dealt with concerning a recent
commercial property transaction. There were several issues
with the site including an underground tank which they (Cal-
vada) took care of and dealt with all the regulatory headaches.
I had my property deal go through without a glitch and after
hearing all the headaches from my co-workers I was in fear
for this deal. I would highly recommend Calvada and Timo-
thy Lane to do any work and have now kept them as one of
my team members.”

Integrity, commitment, dependability.




    G                       ivEN the preceding overview and analysis, the case for
                            a Client/Novacom partnership is compelling. When all
                            the preceding factors are weighed, the blend of the client’s
                            goals, needs and requirements fit well with Novacom’s
                            site development solutions. A turn-key, rapid-response
model that delivers cost-effective and functional sites, matches the value-oriented ef-
ficiency and simplicity the client demands. As partners, you and Novacom indeed
must “stick together.” Novacom welcomes your input and we look forward to the
opportunities provided by a long-term partnership.

In some markets, goals are met and in others they are not. Novacom’s Achievements commitment to its clients’ goals provides a true turn-key site development approach. As detailed in the following proposal, The industry’s list of recent achievements is impressive: Novacom uses an approved vendor team, aligned with in-house a voice and data network capable of reaching over 310 mil- resources to deliver a proprietary, custom method for acceler- lion domestic U.S. customers, continued popularity of custom ated site development and construction under one roof. roof offerings, excellent operation results, and continued network infrastructure advancements, and the recent launch of the home phone and HD service are just a few of the industry’s True Turn-Key continued stream of achievements.

Less layers mean both speed site must be designed and built correctly on time and within and profit. Novacom’s approach creates “value and growth by budget. focusing on simplicity/ease of use and efficiency,” as phrased so well in a major carriers’ corporate code of conduct statement. Since the industry as a whole and Novacom Turn-key possess a similar business philosophy and model, the case for a working relationship is com- pelling, logical, value-oriented, original and simply put: “a good fit.” When it comes to turn-key site devel- opment and construction, we at Nova- com understand that “a sense of urgency guides all actions and our personal efforts focus on complementing team success,” as noted in Novacom’s “Code of Conduct” statement. The following proposal details Nova- com’s urgency, actions, efforts and team competencies as they apply to turn-key site development and construction for the cli- ent. We welcome your feedback and seri- ous consideration. 4

N ovacom’s primary objective is to align its capabilities and competencies with our client’s goals, thus meeting all quarterly deadlines for on-air site development. Results-Oriented Objectives: • Meet all Client Submittal Goals • Shorten Time to On-Air • Eliminate Cost Overruns • Deliver Performance Based Pricing Our approach provides client oversight through consultant reporting. This maintains client involvement through client interac- tion review, while allowing Novacom to complete scheduled tasks, on time and within budget. Consequently, project flow moves rapidly and efficiently without the need for constant supervision reinforcing our mantra “Your Network Is Our Business.” 5

  • 9. results RESULTS results Results you can count on. N N ovacom offers a unique, custom solution: our site acquisition, A&E services, land surveying, environmental compliance and construction management is performed in-house, under one-roof. The one-roof one-roof Novacom personnel required for full site development planners, zoning specialists, engineers, surveyors, environmental spe- cialists and construction are within close proximity of management. This allows man- agement to align goals with the client, thus focusing on a single direction for delivery. In short, Novacom is your “one-stop shop.” 77

SCIPs, zoning and planning information, 1As, ZDs and CDs are thus more accurate and complete. Shorten ring review and candidate selection: During fun runs, Novacom staff, trained in engineering, land surveying and environmental compliance as well as site acquisition (zoning/planning) and construction quickly ascer- tain go/no-go site status. By looking at all site attributes, selec- tion is more plausible and accurate, thus reducing evaluation walk time. Site selection is qualified and filtered from the start. The site is right. The process is simple. Money and time are saved. Novacom’s turn-key, synergistic interaction of cross- trained personnel and departments streamlines communication. For example, why wait for a call or an email when a Novacom staff member simply walks a few feet to speak with his colleague? Resolution wait time is nearly eliminated. Map corrections, site acquisition questions, related jurisdictional interaction are all solved under one roof. Novacom staff “sticks together” because they are together. One roof means one solution—fast. 8
  • 11. results Decreased timelines for submittals: All zoning and construction plans are submitted by trained, licensed personnel. Curriers are used only on an “as needed” basis. CDs are submitted by an on-site engineer. Rooftop sites are walked with a structural engineer to ascertain feasibility of construction, rather than best guess. Reviews and design changes are conducted immediately. Permits are pulled by Novacom personnel, holding a Class A General Engineering contractors licenses, thus significantly reducing permitting time. End of the Blame Game: All personnel for site development and construction man- agement work are under one roof, therefore there is no other team member to blame. Site Aquisition cannot blame the A&E for lack of drawings or the A&E blame the surveyor for lack of a map etc. One company, one team, one result, one solution. 9
