This free, in-person special session is designed to connect small business contractors with prime contractors working on large-scale infrastructure projects—especially the upcoming Interstate Bridge Replacement (IBR) Project. If you are contractor wanting to network and learn from other primes and subs looking to compete on the IBR project or any other public works project, this session was created for you!
Attendees will gain direct insight from 10+ prime contractors on what they look for in subcontracting partners, how to position themselves competitively, and how to navigate public works bidding processes.
The following questions below will be answered during the session:
• Primes: What are you looking for in a sub, especially with this upcoming bridge project?
• Subs: What has been your experience as a successful sub-contractor?
• Mini-Prime: What was your experience transitioning from a sub to a prime?
