The following topics will be discussed at the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) economic stimulus package contractor and subcontractor business networking event:

• NDOT and local public agencies from Northern Nevada will provide an overview of upcoming transportation construction projects.

• NDOT will address outreach efforts to encourage contractors to partner with local Disadvantaged Business Enterprise firms and vendors that are interested in bidding for the work on these projects.

• NDOT and local public agencies will be available to discuss the other major projects in Nevada. Representatives will answer questions from the participants about how to approach NDOT, local public agencies and their traditional prime contractors about securing work on these contracts.

The meeting will then break up into a session where subcontractors and suppliers will be able to sit with the prime contractors and discuss their businesses and the services they offer.
