Outreach to small businesses looking to bid on public jobs has only gotten easier, says Teresa Maxwell.
The DBE compliance officer for Skanska Civil's West region got her start as a receptionist, when paper and snail mail was the common practice for contacting potential subcontractors.
Now, Maxwell says the systems Skanska has in place for its in-house diverse business enterprise outreach program — not to be confused with the Department of Transportation's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program — better enabled it to hit small business contracting goals on a $380 million Los Angeles International Airport project.
Here, Maxwell talks with Construction Dive about hitting goals on the Los Angeles World Airports Roadways, Utilities and Enabling job, the state of small business outreach and the impact of evolving federal certifications.
