Valley Contractors Exchange

Finding Contracting Opportunities
2020-08-25 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Webinar, CA, United States
One of the first steps to government marketplace success is knowing where to find opportunities. In this webinar, we will look at the different sites for locating contracting opportunities and how to search those sites to find opportunity matches.
Federal agencies post solicitations to Beta.SAM and California agencies post opportunities to Cal eProcure but navigating these websites and narrowing down the search might require some guidance. When it come to County/Local agencies, finding their opportunities and requirements can be challenging as well. Some agencies will post to their own sites and others will use a subscription type service like Bid Sync.
Topics will include:

Federal opportunities utilizing Beta.SAM
California State opportunities in Cal eProcure
Find County/Local bid offerings
Setting up custom bid match through Norcal PTAC

National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction
2020-09-14 08:00 - 2020-09-18 17:00 | Valley Contractors Exchange (VCE), 951 East 8th Street, Chico, CA, 95928, United States
What is a Safety Stand-Down?
A Safety Stand-Down is a voluntary event for employers to talk directly to employees about safety. Any workplace can hold a stand-down by taking a break to focus on “Fall Hazards” and reinforcing the importance of “Fall Prevention”. Employers of companies not exposed to fall hazards, can also use this opportunity to have a conversation with employees about the other job hazards they face, protective methods, and the company’s safety policies and goals. It can also be an opportunity for employees to talk to management about fall and other job hazards they see.
How to Conduct a Safety Stand-Down
Companies can conduct a Safety Stand-Down by taking a break to have a toolbox talk or another safety activity such as conducting safety equipment inspections, developing rescue plans, or discussing job specific hazards. Managers are encouraged to plan a stand-down that works best for their workplace anytime.
