Division of Construction Partnering Program
On May 21, the Division of Construction Partnering Program will host the 25th Annual Excellence in Partnering Awards Ceremony in downtown Sacramento.
The ceremony will recognize Caltrans construction teams, and their construction industry counterparts, throughout the state for their successful efforts to collaborate, problem-solve, and partner despite the multitude of challenges and obstacles faced during construction.
At the first event in 2001, seven project teams received awards in front of 50 attendees at a ceremony in the grassy area on the east side of the Capitol. At the 2025 ceremony, 20 teams will be recognized by the district director and the Division of Construction for their achievements, with nearly 150 guests in attendance.
Those teams will be added to the growing list of more than 270 award-winning projects.
To celebrate the 25th ceremony, a category will be introduced to recognize teams for their outstanding partnering at the project level. Winners will be announced at the ceremony on May 21.
