Diverse Business of the Year
Tunista Construction
The 2019 Diverse Business of the Year award went to Tunista Construction of Federal Way. Being a minority-owned business can have its challenges, but Tunista has mastered the art of leveraging AGC membership, mentor-protégé programs and engagement to overcome obstacles. Since their inception in 2013, Tunista has been committed internally to supporting small businesses as the number-one priority for their vendor and subcontracted dollars. One example of this mentorship is the company helping to keep DBE Construction's trucks rolling and, most importantly, working capital coming in, especially in otherwise slow times. In return, Tunista knows the added hauling capacity of DBE’s fleet is accessible when needed and is financially able to take on the work.
