One of the stated goals
of Proposition R is to contribute to the local economy by encouraging
local contractors and suppliers to take part in the construction
generated by the $250m program.
GCCCD has set up an OUTREACH PROGRAM that
seeks out trades and vendors and assists them in identifying and
bidding construction projects. The program provides outreach by
internet, mail and phone contacts. It offers free training to qualify
for public bidding. It assists small firms in learning how to obtain
bonds and how to comply with complex requirements such as Prevailing
Wage laws.
The program has been extremely successful
as evidenced by the dollar volume of construction in place and the
number of participating local businesses.
Any
contractors and vendors interested in joining the ranks are requested
to contact GCCCD's Outreach Manager:
