Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) DBE Support Program
Alabama Statewide
The Alabama Department of Transportation’s DBE Business Development program is rolling out a new, no-cost 18-month program for DBE firms. The program will have two phases:
Phase 1: Business Planning (1-2 months)
Phase 2: Business Advising (15 months)
Both phases will provide virtual 1:1 assistance to business owners.
All DBE firms are encouraged to apply. Applications are open but closing soon.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Alabama Department of Transportation is providing specialists to assist your business in strengthening your foundations and building towards growth. Growth takes time. This program will last 18 months to complete. Most of the work can be done around your normal business operations. However, meetings with specialized consultants and other business support professionals will most likely take place during business hours. We expect the time commitment during the business plan writing phase to be 1-2 hours per week. For the advisory phase (15 months), you will receive 1-2 hour monthly check-ins from your business advisor/accountability partner to help you continue to meet your goals.
This program is provided at no cost to you or your business. Don’t miss this opportunity to sharpen your competitive edge and win state and federal contracts.
This application should take you approximately 45 minutes to complete.

For questions, please contact Juliana Bolivar at jbolivar@troy.edu
DEADLINE
Please apply during the application window through November 29 at midnight. Late applications will be considered last.

The State of Alabama is expected to invest more than $1Billion in the modernization of its prison infrastructure over the next three years. Minority businesses, including ethnic minority businesses, are encouraged to pre-qualify to be added to the vendor lists for these projects.
The Alabama Legislature authorized the construction of two new men’s correctional facilities in Elmore and Escambia Counties as replacement infrastructure.
This initiative will allow the Alabama Department of Corrections to provide safer, more secure correctional environments that better accommodate inmate rehabilitation, enhance medical and mental health services, and improve the quality of life for those who live and work in them.
The State of Alabama is committed to a plan that achieves to the greatest extent possible a level of participation by minority businesses, with a focus on ethnic minority businesses.
There are opportunities in multiple trades for this project. Construction, service, and procurement opportunities include (but are not limited to)
