Denver Water’s Small, Minority and Women Business Enterprise Program seeks to provide small businesses and businesses owned by minorities or women an opportunity to work for Denver Water as contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.
Businesses interested in this program must be certified by the Small Business Administration 8(a), Women’s Business Enterprise Council, Rocky Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council or the City and County of Denver. Interested businesses also must be qualified and have the financial capabilities, skill, experience, as well as access to the necessary staff, facilities and equipment, to perform the required work or to provide the required supplies or services.
To qualify as a SMWBE business, the business should qualify under the criteria and size standards established by the U.S. Government in 13 CFR part 121.
To be included as a Denver Water SMWBE companies must complete the Small Business Tracker form. This is not a certification process but a means of gathering SMWBE's available for Denver Water's outreach efforts.
