As the Marines go marching on!  O’Neil Relocation moves out MCAS El Toro and MCAS Tustin

GARDEN GROVE, CA- August 1999-- In July 1998, O’Neil Relocation was awarded the exclusive contract to move out MCAS Tustin and El Toro.  Over the course of the year, the O’Neil team assigned to the base relocation hauled over 180 truckloads of office equipment and furniture to MCAS Mira Mar, California.  The closure of the MCAS was completed in June 1999.  

The contract included the relocation of 600 buildings and structures.  The most enormous building requiring the most efficient team was the Aircraft Museum.  The Museum housed hundreds of glass display cases with memorabilia dating back to WWII.  The most official move was the Generals Quarter’s which received the VIP white glove treatment.

Tustin Marine Corp Airforce Base was built in 1942 and contracted to house thousands of marines.  The airplane hangers are the largest freestanding wood buildings constructed to date.  A total of 40 Blimps can be stored in these mammoth size buildings.  These hangers were also used as props for many Hollywood movies. “Earth to the Moon” was one of the movies shot on location at the base.

HOMELAND SECURITY PROJECT

Garden Grove, CA., January 13, 2003—O’Neil Relocation Completed Contract to Deliver Security Systems to over 400 Airports Nationwide.

It was late August when the fax machine in the Transportation Services department received the request for service, which began with the words, “Would you be interested in quoting eleven hundred truckloads at approximately 25,000 lbs. per load over the next twelve to eighteen months?”

In view of the current economic conditions of the summer of 2002, it was like a note from heaven. We responded with a resounding, almost yelling, “Yes, Yes!”

Over the next few weeks, we met with our Logistics team to develop our implementation strategy and plans. Several calls were made to Unigroup and we solicited input from Vice President Stan Eisen, on the best approach for equipment utilization of our two Van Lines resources.

By late September, things were beginning to take shape. The contract with Boeing was in place and signed, and the Homeland Security Project was officially started. At this time, we had partnered with Donovan Mayflower to assist the local manufacturer with warehousing of the new airport x-ray/bomb detection equipment. This East Coast warehouse began to fill up as fast as the West Coast warehouse in Fremont, California. The average value per system was one million dollars and by early November, we had over three hundred truckloads in each facility. Due to security issues and manufacturer specs, both facilities used special resources to ensure the safe handling, which included a twelve thousand pound forklift and an inventory tracking system for manufacturers, models and serial identification numbers.

To provide this real-time data and 24/7 access to information for Boeing, O’Neil Relocation used the Internet application of E-Services Resource Group and their Event Management Application. Boeing staff utilized the application to initiate requests for shipments twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week using E-Services’ wireless application for the transactions.

Then, on December 1st, things moved very rapidly as the congressional deadline of December 31st seemed to loom near.

The logistics teams from Siemens, Raytheon and Boeing were working around the clock (literally) at the Homeland Security Logistics Headquarters in Richardson, Texas. O’Neil Relocation made the commitment to supply staff, and two members of our team began their on-site tour.

By this time, we had safely shipped over 305 truckloads. With the sheer volume of 10, then 20, and even up to 40 truckloads in a day, the staff at Special Services at Unigroup stepped in with 100% Commitment. Many were working after hours, on the weekends and receiving calls at all hours of the night. It is noteworthy to mention that almost every shipment was delivered after 11:00 pm, to each airport.

In view of the team effort and the commitment of many of the Special Services staff, it was appropriate that on February 4th, we honored the department with a plaque for the accomplishment of such a challenging project known as, “Homeland Security”.

The challenges of Homeland Security is reflected in these facts:

  • In 45 days, we delivered 793 truckloads.
  • From December 6th through December 31st, we delivered 435 truckloads.
  • The total shipment value exceeded 793 million dollars.
  • We had only 3 missed deliveries (1 due to bad weather, 1 breakdown, and 1 lost).
  • We performed over 700 local pick-ups.

This was accomplished with the team of United agents, Mayflower agents, and Van Operators from both Van Lines.

All of this was done with a systematic, synchronized approach and implementation was executed by Special Services at Unigroup working with the Transportation Services team from O’Neil Relocation Garden Grove, California.

There is something to be said for teamwork, “When you work as a team, you can accomplish what seems like the impossible”, Dennis Allsopp.

Regardless of the sheer volume, the weather conditions, or the timing of the holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas, we can be proud of our accomplishments together. The Homeland Security Airport Project was successfully completed on time.
