7. Our Ongoing
Commitment
CrescentCare has been making a difference in Greater New
Orleans for more than 30 years. Since we were first founded as
NO/AIDS Task Force, we have been committed to improving health
outcomes, especially as the HIV/AIDS epidemic has evolved. The
recognition of their impact has also led us to this new chapter as a
Federally Qualified Health Center that now offers health and wellness
services to the broader community, regardless of health, income or
insurance status.
CrescentCare was developed in direct response to our community’s
needs. We listen to our community and the many neighbors who need
our help: partners, children and families of our current HIV/AIDS clients;
low-income neighbors with little or no insurance; service-industry
professionals without traditional insurance; and the LGBTQ community
who may feel alienated because other health providers don’t recognize
their needs. Just as we answered a calling at the beginning of the AIDS
epidemic, we now answer a calling to provide the larger community
with quality, comprehensive wellness services and medical care.
Our commitment is to improve access to high quality, patient-centered
healthcare for everyone. Our care teams work together to meet the
increasing need for health and wellness services at the local level—so
we can improve the vitality and quality of life for our entire community.
CrescentCare is making a difference in Greater New Orleans.
Noel Twilbeck
CrescentCare CEO
“I had a wonderful experience at
CrescentCare. ’ Even though I didn’t
have insurance, I was able to get the
health services I needed ... with a quick,
courteous and responsive care team.
I highly recommend it!” —Chris Moss

9. Inside Left Inside Right
W
orking as a teen
with his father,
Christopher D.
Walker learned
the ‘ins and outs’
of the construction business. From field
operations to office management, he
spent many hours between homework
and school activities working all phases
of construction. It is a profession
and career first chosen by his great
grandfather, four generations ago.
Currently, Mr.
Walker is the proud
owner of CDW
Services and has
successfully steered
the company to a
position of strength
by investing in new
talent, acquiring
new technology
and using an
aggressive strategy
he describes as
‘persistent bidding.’
These investments and strategies are
paying dividends, as CDW Services
has landed several contracts with the
OPSB and RSD Schools Projects. These
contracts include facility cleaning and
gutting, environmental remediation
and structural shoring of multiple
school buildings. As a DBE contractor,
Mr. Walker recently took time to
share his experience and perspective
regarding the opportunities available to
disadvantaged contractors.
“Some of the biggest challenges for small
businesses in construction is financing
and bonding,” say Walker.
“These challenges, combined with the
demand for tedious paperwork and
administrative oversight often are the
main causes for low participation among
other DBE’s. This is one of the reasons
why we place so much emphasis on
hiring great people. Companies must
focus on building capacity.”
Some of Walker’s recommendations for
capacity building include specialized
management training and mentorship
opportunities with
established firms.
Through the SBA
Emerging Leader
Initiative, he was able
to receive both and
credits the training for
helping him to “stop
working in his business
and begin working on
his business.”
When asked about
his projects with the OPSB and RSD,
he acknowledges that they have gone
well and would be willing to offer his
experience and personal efforts to get
other DBE’s involved in the upcoming
projects. “In my opinion, the OPSB
and RSD Schools Project is the most
noticeable job information out there.
They have worked very hard at making
sure the public knows what’s up for bid.”
AsforCDWServices,Walkerknowsthathis
companyhasovercomemanyhurdlesand
isnowpositionedforcontinuedgrowth.
He remains committed to a strategy that
has served him well; investing in new
talent, acquiring new technology and
persistent bidding.
T
he current delivery method
used by both the Orleans
Parish School Board and the
Recovery School District for
school construction projects
is known as Design-Bid-Build. Under
this procurement method, a contract is
legally required to be awarded to the
lowest responsible bidder as outlined
in La. R.S. 38:2211 et. seq. To be
awarded a contract a bidder must
do two things: 1) meet the minimal
qualifications required by the bid
and 2) be the lowest bidder. With
this traditional procurement method,
work associated with the design and
construction of a project are separate
work. The low-bid procurement method
as it is termed; turns a blind eye to local
and minority inclusion.
On June 4, 2013, the Louisiana
legislature approved a one year
extension for the use of the design-
build method (Design-Build) in the
construction of five (5) new schools.
This approval offers an alternative
to Design-Bid-Build and is a critical
step in advancing how contracts
for school rebuilding construction
projects may be awarded.
Since La. R.S. 38:2225.2.1 was
created via Act 373 in 2007, Design-
Build has become more widely
utilized in the state of Louisiana
because of its ability to better serve
the public interest in ways that the
traditional Design-Bid-Build method of
construction does not.
The Design-Build delivery method seeks
to streamline the process and ensure
that there is one entity - the design-build
team - that works under a single contract
in association with the project owner
to provide design and construction
services. This difference saves money
and time by changing the relationship
between designers and contractors into
an alliance that fosters collaboration and
teamwork.
Given the potential for positive
economic impact and capacity building
within the local and disadvantaged
community, the Design-Build process
versus a low bid allows the user to
select the “best value”. The best value
determination is made by a formula that
calculates a technical score and then
combines it to the proposer’s price to
create a final score.
“Some of the biggest
challenges for
small businesses
in construction
is financing and
bonding,”
say Walker.
The Benefits Realized Are
Faster Delivery: collaborative project management means
work is completed faster and with fewer problems;
Cost Savings: an integrated team is geared toward
efficiency and innovation;
Better Quality: design-builders meet performance needs,
not minimum design requirements, often developing
innovations to deliver a better project;
Singular Responsibility: one entity is held accountable
for cost, schedule and performance;
Decreased Administrative Burden: owners can focus on the
project instead of managing separate, distinct contracts;
DBE Inclusion: allows for more control and opportunity to
increase DBE participation by including it as an element of
the scoring criteria;
Reduced Risk: the design-build team assumes additional
risk; and
Reduced Litigation Claims: by closing warranty gaps,
owners minimize exposure to litigation claims.
