Diversity and workforce dashboard

Timeline and budget spent

This dashboard shows the Abernethy Bridge Construction Project's progress toward its workforce and contractor diversity goals. It’s updated monthly. The prime contractor, Kiewit Infrastructure West Company, must make a good faith effort to meet these goals by the completion of the Abernethy Bridge construction project. ODOT meets with Kiewit monthly to review progress and identify opportunities for improvement where performance is falling short of the goal(s).

Dashboard last updated 9/4/2024 with payments processed through 8/27/2024.

Graphic showing project timeline from 2022 to 2026 and identifying that as of May 31, 2023, contract payments processed to date are $125,621,103. The total contract is $447,687,025.

Local preference hiring 

ODOT applied to the Federal Highway Administration to participate in a pilot program that allows for local hiring preference. The program helps states, local communities and the construction industry by allowing contracting agencies to use hiring preferences and/or innovative contracting approaches not otherwise authorized by law.

Potential DBE construction opportunities

ODOT has identified over 100 potential DBEs and small business construction opportunities for this project. Interested DBEs should contact Kiewit Infrastructure West Company.

DBE/workforce development approach

ODOT encourages DBEs to participate in this project. We’re taking steps to position these businesses for success and enable the project to serve as a pipeline for future minority workers.

  • We hosted “Meet the Primes” matchmaking DBE events.

  • We worked with Kiewit Infrastructure West Company to provide small business capacity building, technical assistance and performance metrics.

Visit DBE resource center for more information.

Past materials and outreach

We hosted networking sessions for DBE and workforce providers to meet with potential prime contractors. We talked about this project and other upcoming ODOT construction projects.
