SANDAG Bench Program for On-Call Contracts
Welcome to the SANDAG Bench Program! The Bench was developed to create opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses to participate in SANDAG On-Call Contracts. The Bench is a pool of certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Small Business (SB) firms that Prime Consultants are able to access for work on SANDAG Architecture and Engineering (A&E), Construction Management (CM), and Planning On-Call Contracts.
SANDAG encourages Primes to use Bench firms when developing a consultant team to work on SANDAG projects to meet DBE or SB goals. The Bench Program increases small and disadvantaged business opportunities, promotes and fosters diversity, and acts as a conduit for creating partnerships between large and small firms.
