Seizing the opportunity for Success
Airport Experience Project
• Start Early
– Reach out to others, do not wait until the last minute
to show interest in the project
– Be knowledgeable of St. Louis City requirements on
SLAA Projects
• Research other firms
– Know who the players are in your industry
– Establish relationships with potential Primes
“Success is where preparation meets opportunity.”
Meeting and Exceeding
MWBE Goals
• Prime Companies
– Familiarize yourself with SLAA requirements for counting
participation, ex. Only Certified MWBE companies located in
the city of St. Louis will be counted toward goals.
– Seek to create meaningful partnerships with MWBEs
consider Joint Ventures or Mentor Protégé relationships as
creative ways to meet and exceed the MWBE goals.
– View goals as a HELP, not a hindrance.
• MWBE Companies
• Pursue a long term relationship with Prime. Deliver quality
work with competitive pricing.
• MWBE Program is not a set aside. Goals assist you to the
door. You must open it.
