The MTA's Tier 2 Small Business Mentoring Program (SBMP)

Tier 2 (Future Program)

Upon successful completion of a four-year mentoring relationship, a company is eligible to complete a two-year advanced program that provides eligibility to bid on projects valued above $1 million. The contracts will be awarded directly without a construction manager's participation in order to prepare the firm to transition to active and independent contract work with the MTA. Firms must obtain their own surety bonding to participate. Assistance, if desired, will be available for those firms wanting to migrate to a union contractor.
