CDABP BY THE NUMBERS
SPONSOR WORKSHOPS
6 sponsor workshops were conducted between January and June. Hosted by Los Angeles City Councilmembers, County Board of Supervisors, and participating agencies including Los Angeles World Airports, Department of Water and Power, Department of Public Works, and the Port of Los Angeles, sponsor workshops help inform contractors about upcoming contracting opportunities within their districts, as well as understand the requirements for participation. Representatives from city and county agencies also provide information about agency-specific projects and opportunities.
PRIME PARTNERS
Our 15 Prime Partners are Prime Contractors who lend their time and expertise to assist in training our contractors and readying them to take on project opportunities. Prime Partners often facilitate classes for our training academies and workshops. The support of and interaction with our Prime Partners can also lead to participating contractors building their network and being offered subcontracting opportunities.
