1. How do vendors, suppliers, and contractors find upcoming opportunities and active solicitations?

Opportunities will be posted on the City's Bid Postings webpage.

2. Does your agency have any diverse business (vendors, suppliers, or contractors) inclusion goals in procurement and contracts?

The City of Bremerton does not have required goals but includes Title VI language in all of our contracts. However, WSDOT funded projects (street projects), Federally funded projects, and most other state funded projects do have DBE goals.  This means that our awarded contractors are required to subcontract a certain percentage of the awarded contract to WA state DBE subcontractors. For example: the Washington and 11th Street and Storm improvement project, had DBE goals of 12% of the contract work and awarded $755,813 dollars in contract work to local DBE contractors. Most of our projects include some amount of state funding.
