Caltrans Construction Mentor Protégé Program

Contractor shall provide facilitation services to the Caltrans Construction Mentor Protege Programs statewide  in each of the 12 Caltrans districts. The need for this mentoring program originated from the Governor's Executive Order S-11-06 in 2006. The goal for the CMPP is to increase the number of companies that can successfully bid and compete in public works projects. This Program will help Small Business and emerging construction companies acquire the knowledge, skills, and relationships necessary to bid and successfully complete Caltrans Public Works transportation improvement construction projects. Ultimately, this will increase contracting opportunities for emerging construction contractors by breaking barriers, enhancing their knowledge, and promoting their development through innovation, engagement, and partnerships.
