Partner with Us
The goals of our program are to identify, thoroughly vet, provide technical assistance and contract with targeted businesses. Our project team works closely with these firms to ensure a clear understanding of the capabilities and capacity to perform the work. At times, our team may conduct a site visit to better assess your capacity. In order to be considered for our projects, you must:
- Meet the project team by attending targeted business project outreach events or scheduling a one-on-one meeting with one of our team members.
- Complete the prequalification process.
We encourage eligible firms to obtain local and state certifications in advance as you will be required to provide to the LIFTbuild® project team prior to submitting bid proposals. We also encourage you to visit this site regularly for project updates, webinars, and general information on our program.
