| Critical to the success of the ETTP project is the ability to identify and work with qualified subcontractors on a firm fixed price basis. This will enable ETRA to reduce costs, better manage the workforce, and provide meaningful work back to the community's businesses whose livelihood depends on projects like ETTP. |
Meaningful Involvement of MPAs
ETRA member companies currently have three Mentor-Protégé Agreements in place with Terranear PMC, Los Alamos Technical Associates, and Turnkey Transportation Services, and will establish a site-specific MPA with LeGacy, LLC. These agreements will be used toaccess resources and needed capabilities on a time-critical basis.
ETRA University - Modeled after Northrop Grumman's Apprenticeship School established in 1919, ETRA University will provide leadership development programs and will feature educational partnerships with local schools and colleges. The ETRA U program will provide specific training to the subcontracting community as a pre-qualification to performing onsite work.
