Mandatory Visit

There is only one (1) time slot available on Thursday, September 11th, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. MB Time, starting in the main lobby of 333 Broadway.

Vendors must have a representative attend the Compulsory Onsite Visit and have their attendance recorded by the WCB for that Vendor's Proposal to be considered. All attending representatives will be required to sign a "Pledge of Confidentiality & Restriction on Use of Information" due to possible contact with WCB confidential information during the Compulsory Onsite Visit.
