WA EDGE (Encouraging Diversity Growth and Equity) Workshop for Construction Firms

-
The Department of Enterprise Services (DES) is developing a pilot program titled “WA EDGE” (Encouraging Diversity Growth and Equity) to help mini and micro size construction firms gain an equitable “edge” in the public works bidding and procurement process, and we need your input!

Additional information

DES will be holding a series of workshops to review the proposed pilot program, and to get feedback on what we should consider as we develop a policy statement to support the program.

The EDGE program will provide training, technical assistance, and networking to help mini, micro, minority-, women-, and veteran-owned businesses learn more about how to become prime contractors on state public works construction and improvement projects. Program participants will also receive access to EDGE-only bid opportunities for one to three years.
