Take Your Business to the Next Level!!

Business Owners & Potential Partners

The City of Atlanta Departments of Watershed Management (DWM) and Aviation (DOA) have partnered to offer an intensive construction management training program for small, minority, female and/or disadvantaged contractors and consultants. The Small Business Development Program will help small companies build their capacity to compete for DOA and DWM capital improvement projects.

Program Eligibility Requirements

Companies must have been in business for at least one (1) year and be interested in pursuing DWM and DOA projects.

Department of Aviation Development Program

ATLNext is the Airport’s new capital improvement program. It consists of a series of projects coming to fruition over the next 20 years designed to boost capacity, renew and replace existing facilities, and enhance ATL’s aesthetic appeal.

As part of this development initiative, ATL will undergo a curb-to-gate modernization of the Airport’s domestic terminal. The centerpiece of this terminal modernization will be a multipurpose canopy that will protect guests from the elements as they arrive to or depart from the Airport. These projects, which fall under six general areas, will help secure Hartsfield-Jackson’s position as the world’s busiest and most efficient airport, and further bolster the Airport’s goal to provide the best possible customer service while meeting passengers’ changing needs. For more information, please visit http://www.next.atl.com/.

Department of Watershed Management Capital Improvement Program

Program participants will have the opportunity to complete the following classes:

Oracle/Primavera Project Planner Scheduling (P6) A 3-day course offered by Evans Technology on effective and realistic scheduling to complete projects “on time and under budget.”

TRAINING MODULES

DWM’s five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) organizes needs for sustaining, restoring and modernizing the facilities and infrastructure that support Atlanta’s water and wastewater systems. The projects identified in the $1 billion CIP were prioritized based on the most critical infrastructure needs, and the program provides a framework for the comprehensive delivery of schedules for design and implementation.

The CIP enables DWM to maintain operational efficiency and reliability, improve water quality, protect the environment, reduce sewer overflows, enhance public health and ensure continued regulatory compliance. Watershed Management has also begun repair and rehabilitation work on stormwater projects funded by the Municipal Option Sales Tax (MOST).

The COA Department of Aviation adopted the use of FAR for all future contract negotiations for Professional Services in an effort to improve the quality of the financial review of federal and local capital projects and to allow for a level playing field for all.
