Doing Business with Government

Understand the Basics of Government Contracting

CMC and SCORE present a seminar on working with city, county and US Forest Service.  Learn where to find out about opportunities to provide products and services to these agencies.  Is there an approved vendor list?  What differences exist between commercial and government contracting?  What essential conditions are required to bid upon jobs?  Finally, what is the process for Requests for Proposals and Request for Quotations.

If your business has a product or service that you believe may be useful to the city, county or US Forest Service and you have little or no experience working with these entities, this program will be a good introduction.

The presentation will be facilitated by Randy Rudasics, Manager of the Bogue Enterprise Center at Colorado Mountain College.  Speakers will include; Jamie Kingsbury of the US Forest Service, Anne Small from the City of Steamboat and Marti Hamilton from Routt County.
