Description:

CDOT invites small businesses engaged in highway construction, design, engineering and related work (including professional services, contractors, vendors, and industry partners) to a business development networking event where you can meet the four short-listed developer teams pursuing the I-70 East Project. This is an excellent opportunity for small businesses to get involved early during the Request for Proposal (RFP) phase.

This event follows the recent release of the first section of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the project which contains Instructions to Proposers (ITP). The document lays out CDOT's expectations for the project and proposed DBE and ESB goals for design and construction and can be found by visiting this link: https://www.codot.gov/programs/high-performance-transportation-enterprise-hpte/projects/i-70/i-70-east-1/request-for-proposals-rfp.

The four developer pursuit teams are:

- 5280 Connectors
- Front Range Mobility Group
- I-70 Mile High Partners
- Kiewit/Meridiam Partners

All of the teams are very interested in meeting with DBE, ESB, and other small consultants and contractors who can contribute to the project success. This networking event will offer the opportunity to learn more about the project, talk one-on-one with those involved, and gain an understanding of the RFP process and schedule. For more information about the teams, go to https://www.codot.gov/programs/high-performance-transportation-enterprise-hpte/procurement/i-70/i-70-east/i70eastsoqs.

Bring your business cards and your best "elevator pitch" and plan to market and mingle. Light refreshments will be served. We encourage you to please RSVP so we can plan for your attendance.
