WML actively invites and encourages all certified DBE Firms during our bidding processes. We are an equal opportunity employer. The plans and specs are available for your review at our office. We accept bids on any and all portions of work. We will receive pricing for a breakdown of items. For example, a painting scope could be broken out into above-grade piping, below-grade piping, building coatings, equipment coatings, CMU wall protective coating, chemical floor coating, etc. We can make efforts to establish delivery schedules, where requirement permits, to encourage your participation. We actively invite and encourage all certified SBE Firms during our bidding processes.  If the project has a specified GFE, WML also requires subcontractors to follow the same required steps. We encourage DBE companies to contract with a consortium of DBEs when a contract is too large for your firm to handle individually. We will work with certified DBE’s that group together if the scope of work is too large for one firm. W. M. Lyles Co. and all subcontractor/suppliers shall abide by the requirements of 41 CFR §§ 60-1.4(a), 60-300.5(a) and 60-741.5(a).
