Throughout its history, DRC has maintained strong relationships with local vendors and subcontractors. We pride ourselves on facilitating local involvement during recovery efforts and encourage local knowledge and experience Iwhenever possible. As such,DRC has worked with thousands of subcontractors over our history including small and large subcontractors, DBE, MBE, WBE, HUB Zone, 8(a), and VOSB (including Service-Disabled VOSB) contractors. DRC has established nationally recognized procedures for community outreach as discussed below in our "Local IS/M/WBE Resource Program." LOCAL S/M/WBE RESOURCE PROGRAM IDRC reaches out to local subcontractors and small, minority and women-owned business enterprises (S/M/WBE) using a variety of sources. Although DRC maintains current, active subcontractor lists, we also have experience utilising such sources as governmental databases, local, regional and national SBE compliance departments, client Iand vendor references and direct mail community outreach. Upon receipt of Notice of Award, ahead of a predicted weather event or annually for contingency contracts, DRC will make contact with local governments and SBE Resource offices to schedule an informational workshop for potential vendors and businesses. The DRC technical assistance workshops not only assist companies with identifying potential contract opportunities,but also assist those interested with "teaming". The workshops provide "hands on" technical assistance to companies ranging from individuals owning dump trucks and loading equipment to office supply companies and small printers wishing to provide goods and services.This process matches S/M/WBE contractors with other companies in order to strengthen their competitive position and package of goods and services offered. DRC is committed to ensuring that local companies are made aware of all potential contracting and partnership opportunities. A direct mail program may be conducted in order to target potential companies and minority business organizations that are listed with the Office of Minority and Women Business Enterprise. The mailer will provide information as Iwell as an 800 number for interested individuals and companies with bi-lingual assistance available when necessary.
