Certifications M/WBE (Minority Women-Owned Business Enterprise)

The M/WBE certification we hold allows us to bring our expertise, innovation and creativity to government contracts within the City and County of Denver. When your firm hires on an M/WBE sub consultant, not only are you supporting a diverse market, but you in return become eligible for federal and state tax breaks. Please consult your tax advisor for more information.

SBE (Small Business Enterprise)

We are certified as an SBE through the City and County of Denver who reserves a portion of their construction and professional design projects to be bid exclusively to those who hold this specific certification.

We also hold an SBE Certification through RTD. The RTD SBE Certification program is a Federally funded program and was established to create an equal opportunity for all Small Businesses in the State of Colorado.

DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise)

We can assist in obtaining your next CDOT project that may require a mandatory percentage be completed by a DBE certified subconsultant. Prime contractors utilizing a DBE sub can take advantage of financial incentives while working on upcoming projects. DBE subs can also increase your consultant contract by up to four points as well.
