| Executive Summary
 This is not yet a completed GUIDE Service Profile |
Contact information
: www.bnsf.com/tools/econdev/ |
This summary of the BNSF services for economic development would be prepared through direct consultation. It follows a
standard
outline to make it easier to find similar information in Service Profiles for service providers anywhere in the world.
The information in a Profile is for convenient reference by
executives and their professional advisors. We will update this
presentation as more knowledge becomes available through a closer working
relationship. The initial Profile can be prepared within days, and
then refined or updated quickly at any time.
The purpose is to help executives and their advisors to
quickly identify why contact with the service may be of interest, and to
help them find various types of basic information quickly in a consistent
way. Once this high-level overview guides them to the relevant
information to arouse interest, they can readily pursue their interests through direct contact.
Note that there are many relevant places in the website which
can link to the Profile, thus making it easier for investors to find this
information quickly in many ways. For example, BNSF contacts can be
listed in the various states it serves, or major rail-served sites can be
highlighted, and recent projects can be highlighted. There are already
links from the directories of
railroads and
logistics service
providers.
The content would be very similar to examples for
location
consultants. This section would just cover
the highlights, with more details readily available through links on this or
other websites, or elaborated in the subtopic sections below.
Identify the main services BNSF offers for potential
corporate investment projects
Scope of services offered - highlights, what differentiates the service?
What might
attract the interest of investors?
Recent developments include ... link to
highlights of
recent investments supported by the service provider (if public
knowledge)
Examples of significant industry specialization, such as
agricultural products
Degree of collaboration within the company among multiple
specialties which may be involved in project support - unified team effort,
"one stop shop", or fragmented?
We can also provide links to and from GUIDE Surveys and
Area Profiles of communities which offer BNSF rail-served sites. This
can highlight such areas, and vice versa.

Feedback from participants or clients
- not available at this time We may selectively
share feedback from executives with direct experience working with a service
provider. We do not propose to publish all such feedback, but may
quote such feedback when authorized to do so by the executive involved, and
when the comments seem appropriately reliable and relevant to other
executives. There is also a separate service for publication of
testimonials
when appropriate.
We welcome feedback from executives who have worked with this
service provider. |
| Relationship Disclosure
There is no relationship at this time beyond general
awareness of their services. For details about their services, please contact
them directly, and please let
them know
how you found them !
If participation is proposed and agreed in the future, it
would be on the same basis as other professional services, namely, a
non-exclusive and independent relationship to get to know their capabilities
better. This helps us to be well-prepared to introduce them to executives who
might otherwise be unaware of their existence and value their capabilities to support
investment project decisions. Services would be agreed directly
between the service provider and such executives, without GDI Solutions becoming a
party to any resulting services or transactions.

Relationship leader at GDI Solutions for potential clients
:
Bruce Donnelly
Please advise regarding any necessary corrections to this
Service Profile.
The relationship leader is responsible for maintaining
sufficiently frequent contact and knowledge at GDI Solutions about participating
services.
The leader keeps published GUIDE Service Profiles timely and consistent, and serves
as an initial point of contact for any investors who may choose not to
contact the service provider directly yet about their interests, such as at
a very exploratory or confidential stage of project planning or information
gathering.
