Construction Bench Program
MCTC is looking for local certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Small Business (SB) firms and suppliers to enroll in their Construction Bench Program, which will provide enrolled firms with preferential subcontract opportunities on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. MCTC seeks to include a variety of services from DBE and SB firms. The Construction Bench will serve as a shortlist of contract-ready firms from which MCTC will be able to expeditiously seek bids and put DBE/SB firms to work in order to meet the ongoing needs of the project.
About the Project
The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project will extend Trolley service from downtown San Diego to University City, expanding transportation capacity and reducing congestion.
