G|T Capacity Building Workshop Invitation to Share - 3/12/24

Capacity Building Workshop This workshop is designed to prepare small, local, and diverse contractors for contract procurement opportunities while gaining first-hand insight on working with Gilbane and Turner. Participation in this workshop in no way constitutes guarantee of a successful bid on any Gilbane or Turner project.

For information on the prequalification process, visit www.buffalobillsnewstadium.com.

We encourage all Erie County and/or NYS-certified minority-, women- and service-disabled veteran-owned and local businesses to participate. In hopes of expanding access, understanding and opportunities for small businesses interested in participating in the construction and operation of the new stadium, as well as other Gilbane and Turner projects, the first workshop in the series will be focused on prequalification and responding to a Request for Proposals. Our goal is to level the playing field for potential bidders by providing the steps and rationale of these processes.

We expect that this session will illuminate the prequalification process, define requirements, and enhance the overall quality of proposals, thus creating a more competitive and diverse bidding environment. Led by G|T staff, and in collaboration with the Bills and select industry partners, this session will be open to all minority-, women-, service-disabled veteran-owned firms and local businesses in the construction industry.

The Gilbane | Turner team has merged the Gilbane Rising Contractor Program and the Turner School of Construction Management, to launch a joint Capacity Building Program designed to prepare emerging firms for opportunities in the construction industry. The Capacity Building Program will be a series of workshops customized to incorporate best practices, tools, and resources needed to work on Gilbane and Turner projects.
