More information to come, but TransTerra was able to join the Stantec team as a subcontractor for the 3.5 Year On-Call Environmental Services contract for District 3 of Caltrans and Stantec was awarded the Contract! We worked hard for our Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE)certificate and companies like Stantec add WBEs and other DBEs to their team. Having larger, diverse contracts has been a goal of our team since conception and we are very excited to work with Stantec on these upcoming projects . There will be additional contract awards in Districts 1 and 2 coming up, and we hope Stantec will be awarded those contracts as well. The DBE program through Caltrans is extremely beneficial for both small businesses and also for Caltrans and other agencies. Our low-overhead rates and low to no travel costs save the public a great deal of money. Having local biologists with relationships to agency personnel, an understanding of local issues and familiarity with local species is also beneficial to the agencies. Finally, small firms tend to have lower rates of turn-over, which means more continuity and fluidity in project management. We are looking forward to serving the public and meeting new colleagues.
