Small Business Initiatives

The purpose of this program is to increase competition, lower prices, and provide increased support to meet the department’s future work program. The program may include, but is not limited to, designating contracts, providing special assistance in bidding and contract completion, waiving bond requirements, and implementing other strategies that would increase competition and reduce barriers. To assist small businesses in Florida in competing for transportation infrastructure construction projects, the department has established a voluntary program, the Construction Training & Qualification Program. Providers may offer training at reduced rates to the employees of small businesses recognized as such by the Department.
