Event

McMaster Center, Main Branch
Toledo Lucas County Public
Library
325 N. Michigan Street
The City of Toledo invites
Minority Business Enterprises and Women Business Enterprises
to become engaged in the city’s bid process during an
informational, interactive networking event from 5:30 – 7 pm
on Thursday, March 31 in the McMaster Center at the
Toledo-Lucas County Public Library. Businesses of all sizes
are encouraged to attend to learn about projects that are
coming up for bid for the Toledo Waterways Initiative. The
International Park Storage Basin will be highlighted.
However, presented information will be relevant for all city
projects.
“We continue to offer MBE/WBE
opportunities within the Toledo Waterways Initiative as well
as other city programs and hope for broad participation at
this event to aid companies’ understanding of our bidding
process,” said Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson. “Another benefit
of this meeting is that our businesses can meet and interact
with city personnel who can help them through the
application process.”
The International Park Storage
Basin is a $25 million project mandated by a consent decree
between the City of Toledo and the US EPA as part of the
Long Term Control Plan. The project will be advertised for
bids in early spring with construction beginning in August.
The March 31 event will be
focused on bidding opportunities for local businesses with
city staff, with brief presentations at the beginning of the
evening. Business owners will learn how the city’s Planet
Bids database works and are encouraged to bring multiple
copies of capability statements, if available, to the event.
Although reservations are not
required, for planning purposes attendees are asked to
RSVP by email to
