First and foremost, you want to partner with an expert capable of completing your requested job on time and budget. If your project receives funding from the Department of Transportation (DOT), you likely also need a business partner that meets the DOT’s disadvantaged business enterprise program (DBE) criteria. As a woman-owned business Evolution creative solutions meets that criteria. Read on to learn how we can be your print solution provider and help you meet your DBE requirement.
The Business Problem
The joint venture Walsh Kokosing resulted from winning the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project bid. The project received funding from the Ohio Department of Transportation, which meant a percentage of the vendors Walsh Kokosing worked with had to meet DBE criteria. Walsh Kokosing decided to hold a networking event to connect with DBE businesses. They needed a printer to print materials for the event, such as an agenda, sign-in sheets, and an exit survey.
Evolution’s Creative Solution
Our business mission is to provide businesses of all sizes with creative solutions. In this case, working with Evolution creative solutions would help Walsh Kokosing reach two goals: get printed materials for their networking event and work with a DBE business.
We knew we could manage the print materials for the networking event. Our experience with document prints like agendas, sign-in sheets, and surveys allowed us to complete that work, shrinkwrap documents to organize for multiple locations, and deliver the materials on time. Knowing that we could also help Walsh Kokosing meet their DBE requirement was a bonus benefit of working together.
