5.3 Proposed Subconsultants GHD is committed to utilizing small and local businesses and maintains a successful Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) program. While GHD has the capabilities to complete most aspects of projects in-house, we have fostered valuable relationships with small and local firms. GHD will identify subconsultant tasks that would correspond with our goal of MWBE participation. This goal is important to us in having a meaningful and positive impact on projects. Below we have listed several MWBE and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB) firms that we routinely engage and their probably roles on projects. Their utilization will vary based on the project assignment and their availability at that time. Resumes for select subconsultant staff are provided in Appendix C. To support an anticipated NYSEFC Engineering Planning Grant (EPG) project, GHD will partner with trusted local subconsultants in meaningful roles to complement GHD’s team. We have a strong history of delivering projects with an integrated team of experienced individuals from subconsultant MWBE and SDVOB firms. 5.3.1 Arold Construction Company, Inc. | WBE Proposed Role: Sewer Cleaning and Televising (CCTV) and Smoke Testing Services Arold specializes in many types of work in the construction industry such as installation of sewer and water lines, sidewalks and curbing, demolition, drainage improvements, sewer and water treatment plant construction and rehabilitation, bridge construction and asphalt paving.
