From the KY DBE Program
Manager...
2011
has certainly turned out to be an eventful year for the
Ohio
River Bridges Project. As a result, specific
opportunities for Kentucky's Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises are being identified. Through the years, the
office of the KY
DBE Program Manager has been communicating a call to
action to certified KY DBEs and potential DBEs to
prepare their businesses to compete for the
opportunities to come.
 |
|
The
famous line, "If you build it, they will come,"
applies to DBEs as much as it does to the bridges
themselves, in that all businesses must build on
their strengths, capabilities and technical
knowledge before opportunities will come.
Too
many small businesses fail either by waiting too
long to do what needs to be done to prepare for a
major project or win a contract and not be
qualified to perform. |
And finally,
DBEs should take advantage of every opportunity provided
by the Bridges Project for informational meetings,
matchmaking events and educational workshops that will
put them in a better position to participate.
Sincerely,
Tierra Kavanaugh
Turner
