DBE/WBE

As an Equal Opportunity Employer, our team has an outstanding record for hiring, promoting, and retaining diverse, local workforces on our projects. CBNA achieved an 85% local ratio for the workforce on the challenging Port of Miami Tunnel Project and we plan to use the same approach to maximize local employment diversity and inclusion on the PRT Project. At Halmar, we source 90% or greater of local staff to work on our projects, and on average we achieve 40% of workforce diversity of the total project crew and offices.

The CBNA Halmar Clean Rivers JV understands the importance of supporting, local, small, woman-owned, disadvantaged and minority businesses in the markets we serve. Our team is fully committed to participate in DC Water’s disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) and women-owned business enterprise (WBE) Contracting and Local Employment Compliance programs and meet and/or exceed the Fair Share Objective of 28% DBE and 4% WBE professional services component goal and 32% DBE and 6% WBE for the construction component of this project as part of our design, subcontracting and supplier opportunities. We place a significant value on their contributions as they are a fundamental in our approach to deliver a successful project, adding strength, skilled talent and expertise, and local resources to our team.
