Straight Line General Contractors, Inc.
("SLGC") has been involved with the San Diego Unified School District ("SDUSD") PSA program since its
inception in 2009. SLGC was awarded the first SDUSD PSA project, and shortly thereafter, we formally met Mr.
Anderson.
Mr. Anderson has always been fair, honest, and straightforward with his involvement in our unions'
interactions. We can honestly say that we have formed strong relationships with the unions over the past
eleven years. That would not have been possible if our disputes were not resolved amicably. Mr. Anderson is
a
big reason why non-union shops have thrived in a PSA environment for the past eleven years.
He has been an invaluable asset in helping SLGC navigate obstacles and challenges. We strongly recommend
Mr. Anderson for any project.
I have had the pleasure of working with Ivory
since 2009,
his work with patience, courteousness and grace. He is a calming voice even when disputants are engaged in
heating arguments. He is knowledgeable and dedicated to providing excellent service.

Without hesitation, I would hire Ivory. He has met all our expectations and more.
Although he strikes a physically imposing presence, he conducts his work with patience, courteousness, and
grace. He has provided guidance and advice regarding our organization's policies and procedures and reports
on compliance, staying on point. He is a calming voice even when disputants are engaged in heated arguments.
He is knowledgeable and dedicated to providing excellent service.
I have had the pleasure of working with Ivory Anderson, Principal of The Elite Guardian
Consulting Services, since 2009. Ivory was the first person hired by the San Diego Unified
School District to assist in shaping and administering the SDUSD Project Stabilization
Agreement. His task has been to provide expertise and technical assistance in providing
documents, systems, and procedures for administering the PSA. Since the first PSA-covered
project was awarded, Ivory served—and continues to serve—as a day-to-day on-site problem
solver at PSA-covered projects for the various PSA stakeholders: union business managers,
general contractors, and subcontractors, as well as SDUSD representatives (e.g., construction
managers, project managers, inspectors). Ivory has developed a well-earned reputation for
patience, respectful listening, demonstrating comprehensive knowledge of the PSA, and
treating all parties fairly.
Given the scale and longevity of the SDUSD PSA and his term of service, he has established
an invaluable reservoir of institutional memory. While the SDUSD PSA staff has grown as the
number and dollar volume of PSA-covered projects has increased over the years, Ivory
remains an indispensable member of our team.
Ivory's role as a Project Labor Agreement
administrator for San Diego Unified School District is very challenging; dealing with both union and
contractor grievances and ensuring that both sides were treated fairly and equally is an extremely hard job.
Ivory has shown outstanding leadership when dealing with both union disputes and ensuring contractors like
Byrom-Davey, Inc. were informed with all the proper guidelines.
Any company wanting TEGCSI services would be
fortunate to be able to work with Ivory.

Without exaggeration, I can state that I have
never worked with a PLACC
that has done such a remarkable job of keeping the record straight, the parties to the PSA informed of the
requirements of the PSA and who intervened at an early stage to resolve problems as Mr. Anderson had done with
the San Diego Unified School District.

Over the past (20) years, in my former position as Business Manager of Plaster Tenders of Southern
California Local Union 1414, I signed and worked under many PSA(s), Community Workforce Stabilization
Agreements, etc. where there has been a third-party PLACC involved. Without exaggeration, I can state that I
have never worked with a PLACC that has done such a remarkable job of keeping the record straight, the
parties to the PSA informed of the requirements of the PSA and who intervened at an early stage to resolve
problems as Mr. Anderson had done with the San Diego Unified School District PSA.
My experience with PLACC(s) stretches throughout the (12) counties of Southern California, not just San
Diego county. The difference between Mr. Anderson's work and other PLACCs is like comparing night and day.
Mr. Anderson takes his responsibility seriously and is a professional at all levels of this business. He is
a stickler for detail, which is a rarity with PLACC(s), in my opinion.
I am confident that TEGCSI will do an excellent job and will reflect positively upon your company.
As a Representative in the San Diego area, I
met Mr. Anderson at the beginning of the San Diego Unified School District Project Labor Agreement years ago.
Over those years, it was inspiring to see Ivory's dedication to self-improvement in his field of expertise by
investing countless hours in continued education. He has always had a calm and collected demeanor and is
always willing to find solutions collectively.
Contract Compliance and monitoring is in Mr.
Anderson's wheelhouse professionally and he would be a natural fit for any organization looking for a strong
PLAA/PSA administrator.

I have personally worked with Ivory Anderson
for over a decade on approximately $200M in PSA projects for San Diego Unified School District. As our Project
Labor Coordinator, Ivory always proved to be professional, courteous, responsive, and eager to help. Ivory is
always willing to go the extra mile and often works long hours to ensure that everything moves along smoothly
and is under control. His pleasant demeanor and eagerness to assist the team was very much appreciated
throughout these projects.
I would highly recommend Ivory Anderson to
any prospective agency needing a Project Labor Coordinator services for their PLA/PSA.
