Clark Construction Group has launched a small business initiative designed to expand opportunities for disadvantaged construction firms, even on projects where inclusion goals are not mandated.
The SDBE15 program is designed to foster greater participation by small, disadvantaged-, minority- and women-owned businesses on Clark’s construction projects nationwide, according to a press release.
Through the program, the Bethesda, Maryland-based company has committed to achieve at least 15% small or disadvantaged business participation on all jobs — even those that don’t include small business requirements. This approach includes subcontracts at all tiers to promote opportunities for the greatest number of firms, the release said.
Construction Bonds, Inc. is proud to participate in this program teaching Bonding 101 for the Mid-Atlantic Section at Bethesda, MD.
