Our corporate policy requires MWDBE participation in all construction bids.
We do not set goals or quotas, however, the company strives to increase the number of MWDBEs with which we conduct business, per our corporate policy.
MGM MIRAGE requires our General Contractors to include MWDBE participation on all bids. MWDBE forms are included in our standard bid package. Participation is reached through hiring MBE/WBE contractors, sub-contractors, and construction suppliers.
Our Corporate Diversity Office along with the Construction Diversity Managers work diligently to inform individuals and business about the opportunities to work with our company. Although we assist general contractors in finding qualified companies, we believe that our general contractors should also be engaged in identifying firms.
MGM MIRAGE participates in tradeshows, relevant conferences and networking
events throughout the U.S. in an effort to identify contractors and suppliers.
Our bid process is currently done by invitation. MGM MIRAGE determines the list of invitees based on demonstrated capabilities.
Contractors are paid upon submission of monthly progress applications. Payments are usually done within 30-45 days.
