LEBANON
(Tuesday, January 30, 2018) The Ohio Department of
Transportation (ODOT) is hosting a matchmaking event for small and
disadvantaged construction and consulting businesses.
This opportunity will allow eligible parties to meet the three
teams proposing to design and construct Phase 5A (PID 104667) of the
Interstate 75 Mill Creek Expressway in Hamilton County.
The project involves widening and resurfacing I-75 from Monmouth
Ave. to just south of Mitchell Ave. and reconstructing the I-74 and I-75
interchange. The estimated
construction cost is $85 million and has a Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise Goal of 12 percent.
“The opportunity to build
business relationships through matchmaking and networking events in today’s
construction industry is tremendous,” said Administrator of ODOT’s Division
of Opportunity, Diversity, and Inclusion (DODI), Office of Outreach Terry
Bolden.
