UW and Wyoming APEX Accelerator Encourage Clients to Attend U.S. DOT Bonding Education Program Series

Small-business owners will have an opportunity to learn about the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) construction bonding process during a series of webinars in July.

Various business experts will head the “U.S. DOT West Central Summer Bonding Education Program,” a series of webinars scheduled 8:30-10:30 a.m. Tuesday-Thursday, July 8-10, and Tuesday-Wednesday, July 15-16. To register, go here. The classes are free to attend for qualified businesses.

Wyoming APEX Accelerator, part of the Wyoming Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network housed at the University of Wyoming, is the state’s expert in government contracting assistance.

“It was decided by the team to add this to our calendar because our APEX Accelerator team currently does not offer any assistance with bonding,” says Tyler Schanck, marketing, communication and database manager for the Wyoming SBDC Network. “They felt it is a good resource for clients to be aware of.”

The webinars will cover access to capital, bonding, construction accounting, construction legal, contracts, estimating, marketing, project management, strategic planning and surety. The program is designed to take businesses to the next level.

Stakeholders include Connect2DOT, Denver International Airport, Regional Transportation District-Denver, Salt Lake City International Airport, Utah DOT, Utah APEX Accelerator, Utah Transit Authority and the HOYA Foundation.
