MGM MIRAGE does not have specific target quotas. Our corporate policy requires MWDBE participation on all construction bids. The company strives to increase its utilization of diverse contractors on all projects. CityCenter will be under construction until 2009. Our goal is to maximize MWDBE participation.
Perini must pre-qualify each contractor before he/she is put on the list of bidders.
As long as a contractor has current certification by a government agency or legitimate certifying organization, it will be acceptable. However, companies are encouraged to be certified in Nevada.
In 2006, Perini conducted monthly workshops to inform MWDBEs about the project. Also, participation in workshops, trade shows and conferences has proven to be a valuable tool in building our national database. In addition, we have launched a nationwide mailing campaign to advise contractors of opportunities that are available.
MGM MIRAGE and Perini have designed a Construction and Business Management Training Program for contractors working on CityCenter. The program will help enhance their business development and train them on the technical aspects of doing business with Perini.
