Our Services
Procurement Support
TLG has helped both small and large agencies develop countless solicitations for architectural and engineering services, construction services, materials, inspection and testing services, maintenance, equipment, supplies, and rolling stock acquisitions while ensuring compliance with funding requirements, local, state, and federal regulations. Our support includes everything from drafting procurement policies that are compliant with state and federal laws, staff procurement training, drafting RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, reviewing procurement files for compliance, and drafting SOPs for your agency.
Project Management
Transit projects come with unique challenges when it comes to regulatory compliance. The range of projects and agencies that we have worked with in our nearly 20 years of business have provided us with unique insight into the needs and challenges that transit agencies in California face. This includes compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the California Public Contract Code, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as well as navigation of the many other regulations that come with a project of this type. Whether you are procuring and in-serving new vehicles or building a new transit facility, The LeFlore Group can help you manage the project. For some examples of projects we've managed, see our Projects page.
