SMALL BUSINESS RECRUITMENT PROGRAM
In April 2018, GLWA launched a Small Business Recruitment Program to increase the number of respondents to GLWA procurements. In addition, our goal is for the program to:
- Expand the number of firms with water and wastewater expertise in the region
- Facilitate collaboration among larger firms with smaller firms
- Issue clearer bid/proposal documents (in particular, noting when work does not need to be completed by a general contractor)
- Provide a venue for two-way communication of challenges and opportunities to ensure that GLWA is a customer/client of choice in the vendor community
We consider the following organizations partners to achieving mutual goals:
