Message From the President & CEO

MR. D-MARS

“Small and minority-owned businesses must play a significant role in our efforts to restore economic growth. Small businesses employ half of the nation’s private sector workforce; create a large share of the Nation’s new jobs; and introduce many groundbreaking ideas into the marketplace.”

– Barack Obama

As a minority business journal, we feel it is our obligation to celebrate the agencies who spend their money, time and resources to give minority companies opportunities. Often times, companies do not meet their minority participation goals. We like to highlight the ones that do and we also strive to be the bridge that fosters growth in the Houston area for small businesses who want to do business with their larger counterparts.

While preparing for this year’s awards luncheon, we realized it was important to be inclusive, so this year we added architects and engineers because they, as well as the contractors, are the primes on numerous jobs. The agencies (our supplier diversity champions) create the programs to provide opportunities for the primes to perform. d-mars.com takes great pride and pleasure in honoring the top primes and agencies who allow these great things to happen.

Best Regards, Keith J. Davis, Sr. President & CEO d-mars.com

Message from the Senior Vice President, Kevin “Brother D-MARS” Davis “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.”

– John F. Kennedy If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that change is constant and it’s inevitable. It is also necessary for sustaining a successful business. One aspect of change is developing and forging new partnerships, which allows companies to work together to plan for future success. When businesses partner with one another, great things can happen, The Interagency Mentor Protege Program being one example of that.

It’s extremely rewarding that we at d-mars.com are able to highlight those prime contractors, architects engineers and agencies who work so eloquently together to foster diversity in business.

“BUILDING QUALITY THROUGH TEAMWORK”

Drymalla Construction Company, Inc., was founded in 1946 by J.L. Drymalla and quickly established a reputation for quality.

J.L. Drymalla retired in 1979, and an employee, Earl Pitchford, acquired the company. Earl has remained the owner since that time.

Our portfolio includes a diverse range of commercial construction projects that includes medical & healthcare, K-12 educational, higher educational, manufacturing, industrial, detention facilities, retail facilities, banks, churches, and airports.

We deliver projects by means of competitive sealed proposal, negotiated agreements, design/build, and we have extensive experience with the CM@Risk method. We have delivered projects up to $100 million in value, yet retain the personal touch necessary to properly administer projects much smaller in size.

We value minority participation in all of our projects. Drymalla fosters these relationships by actively seeking high M/WBE subcontractor participation rates and entering into protégé/mentor agreements with members of the minority small business community.

Drymalla is committed to the green building process. We are a member of the USGBC and have delivered projects that are LEED Certified, Silver and Gold, plus projects that are CHPS compliant.

Our growth and success is a result of performance, professionalism, quality and personal participation of our management. Drymalla believes that strong team relationships lead to successful projects that meet the owner’s aesthetic, functional, budgetary and scheduling goals.

Women Contractors Association

WCA History The Women Contractors Association (WCA) was founded in 1996 in Houston, Texas. A small group of women joined together to ensure that the City of Houston and other Texas agencies did not eliminate women-owned businesses from minority participation goals. WCA has continued to support women in construction since its inception, through education, support and networking.

In 2009, when the City of Houston removed the WBE goals from construction due to the results of a disparity study conducted that year, WCA members met with City Council and the Affirmative Action Department to stress the importance of the goal being reinstated.

Their efforts, along with other like-minded

organizations in Houston, resulted in the City of Houston commissioning a new disparity study and the restructure of Affirmative Action to the Office of Business Opportunity. The new disparity study, finally completed in 2012, showed a 50% drop in the utilization of woman-owned business since the WBE goals were removed. Armed with these results, the City of Houston finally put the “W” back into the MWBE Construction Contract Goals. On May 8, 2013, Mayor Annise Parker and City Council unanimously approved amendments to Chapter 15 Code of Ordinances, which governs the City’s Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) program and a new citywide participation goal for construction contracts was to increase construction contracts goals from 14% to 34%.

ensure that all issues have been addressed prior to work starting under the 2012 bond. We will continue to monitor the processes and will keep our members updated.

In 2014, WCA held several meetings with the Houston Independent School District (HISD) officials to discuss issues with work conducted under previous bond elections. It is our goal to

For more information on the Women Contractors Association, contact Susan Repka, Executive Director, at director@womencontractors.org or visit our website at www.womencontractors.org

The WCA is not satisfied with the status quo of acceptance of women within the construction industry. To make an impact, we are committed to promoting women in leadership roles, educating outsiders about the successful role of women in the industry and creating strong role models, mentors and leaders for future women to enter the construction arena.

In addition to being the voice of women in construction, WCA offers a variety of education and networking events to ensure the growth of our members.
