KCI-Edgemoor M-WBE Participation, Workforce Development, and Community Benefits Brochure

The Edgemoor Team’s Track Record on MBE/WBE Participation, Workforce Development, and Community Benefits The Edgemoor Team recognizes that the KCI Terminal Project is a generational opportunity to spur overall economic development for Kansas City. It will also provide an important catalyst to increase the long-term capacity of Kansas City MBE/WBE firms, build the workforce of the future, and to strengthen programs that support under-served communities consistent with the City’s Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) resolution. The Edgemoor Team has a strong track record of leveraging mega-projects to create economic opportunity for local communities and residents. We’ve met and exceeded some of the most aggressive MBE/WBE inclusion goals in the country and implemented innovative community benefits programs in cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, DC. We’re committed to bringing that national experience and expertise to Kansas City on the KCI Terminal Project. Edgemoor’s Commitment to MBE/WBE Participation: Edgemoor has committed to 20% MBE and 15% WBE participation for construction and 17% MBE and 12% WBE participation for professional services, exceeding the City’s target goals in all categories. If confirmed, we will work with the City, Human Resources Department (HRD), the Fairness Board, and others to carefully evaluate market data and other information related to local MBE/WBE capacity. Ensuring Labor Harmony: We are already working actively with local labor organizations to align goals and expectations on hiring, recruitment, wages, work requirements, and other items necessary to achieve labor harmony on the new KCI Terminal Project.
