The County of Los Angeles Hosts Series to get Contractors Ready to Work
The County of Los Angeles joined the L . A . Regional Contractor Development and Bonding Program ( CDABP ) to assist small and diverse contractors interested in bidding on construction projects with the County . As the newest CDABP sponsor , the County wants to educate enrolled contractors on how to prepare themselves to work with the County of Los Angeles .
Over three weeks in September 2022 , CDABP and the County of Los Angeles hosted a virtual trainings series , “ Get Contract Ready with the County of Los Angeles ,” designed to guide contractors through the necessary steps and requirements for doing work with the County of Los Angeles .
The first week introduced series participants to the LA County CDABP through a presentation facilitated by Lakeisha Bearden , Director of Program Development at Merriwether & Williams Insurance Services ( MWIS ). During her presentation , she discussed the technical assistance and services CDABP provides to help reduce the barriers to bonding and building capacity that small and diverse businesses face .
