Lakeside Alliance Announces Bid Package Release for Historic Obama Presidential Center Project

Noticiero Bilingue Lawndale News

On Monday, Lakeside Alliance, builders of the Obama Presidential Center, announced the release of bid packages for work on the Obama Presidential Center project. The scopes of work include roofing, resilient flooring & carpet, wood flooring, auditorium equipment, site earthwork, and asphalt paving. The dates for when work will begin on site for these packages range from the third quarter of 2023 to the first quarter of 2025. This will be the second-to-last bid package release for the project, with one additional release happening in February 2022. As part of their commitment to expanding opportunities for populations that have been historically underrepresented in the construction industry, Lakeside Alliance has pledged to award at least 50 percent of subcontractor packages to diverse businesses. Currently a quarter of the way through the procurement process, Lakeside Alliance is meeting this goal. For decades, racial and ethnic minorities and women competing for construction contracts have faced systemic barriers, gender stereotypes and a lack of access to opportunities. By awarding at least 50 percent of subcontractor packages to diverse businesses, Lakeside Alliance is aiming to change this narrative and provide unprecedented opportunity for them to participate at all levels of the project. For those interested in participating in this bidding process, please visit www.lakesidealliance.com for more information.
