COMMITTED TO
VALUE
Mark Bouter joined DCC in
August 2009 as Coordinator,
Contract Services in
Greenwood. By mid-2010, he
had identified that the level
of DCC contracting effort
to procure $5,000 worth of
geomatics work was comparable
to that of a $100,000 multidiscipline design contract.
Motivated to achieve better
efficiency and value, Mark
developed a simplified
approach, known as the Low
Risk KN Procurement Policy.
In initial trials, results included
less time to issue RFPs, fewer
resources to support the process,
and considerable reductions
in the time to award, explains
Paul Lincoln, Site Manager
at 14 Wing Greenwood and
Mark’s nominator for DCC’s
Innovation Award. “Employees
like Mark … are the essential
fuel to drive the change that
will ensure our value to DND,”
says Paul.
“ Using innovative
and efficient ways to
improve our processes
demonstrates to
our Client-Partners
our commitment to
high quality service
delivery.”

DRIVING HEALTH
AND SAFETY
Scott Munn is an essential
part of DCC’s commitment
to health and safety, says his
nominator for the Robert
Graham Memorial Award,
Shawn Bindon, Site Manager.
Scott leads the Mid-Canada
Line contribution program, and
is the management co-chair for
the Joint DCC/DND Health
and Safety Committee for
Ottawa’s 180 Kent Street.

DCC National Awards Program – 2013 EDITION
“ Scott is also a
mentor … he is
always willing to
help and can be
counted on to listen
and offer guidance.”
Shawn Bindon
Shawn explains that Scott
is always willing to offer his
expertise. He has driven the
Health and Safety Improvement Theme initiative, in
particular education on hazard
risk assessment prior to travel;
spearheaded procedures for
new PMO employee briefings
on emergency procedures; and
was “relentless” in having potentially lifesaving Automatic
External Defibrillators installed
on each floor.
