MDOT I-375 Reconnecting Communities Project: DBE/Small Business Enterprise Opportunities
June 4, 2024
MDOT intends to honor the legacy of workforce and business diversity of the former Black Bottom and Paradise Valley neighborhoods’ residents through a robust Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and local workforce development initiatives designed to optimize the use of Detroit-based, minority-owned businesses and workforce in the execution of the pre-construction, construction, and post-construction services. This will include engagement and outreach programs that focus on training, matchmaking, and recruitment of certified DBEs and Small Business Enterprises (SBE).
MDOT intends to build a solid and robust engagement and outreach program, including training and matchmaking, to maximize opportunities for DBE participation in the I-375 project. This commitment includes the outreach and effort to recruit certified DBEs and Small Business Enterprises and appropriate training.
Construction is currently planned to start in 2025.
