DANIEL J. SEYDEL II

The Driving Force in Washington's Business Landscape

Award winning inclusion consultant Daniel Seydel of Platinum Group and the Entrepreneurial Institute of Washington continues to create opportunities for brothers and sisters in the construction industry.

Since 1995, I have been a driving force in Washington’s business landscape, leveraging my expertise to coach entrepreneurs and facilitate collaborations between large corporations and small, diverse firms.

Additionally, I championed the Limited Small Works Roster, allowing small firms to compete on an equal footing, ensuring fair competition. My experience ranges from large private to major government infrastructure projects, including GCCM, Design Build, and JOC, where I revised evaluation criteria for alternative works projects, impacting millions of dollars in projects annually.

My impactful advocacy has left a lasting mark with pro Minority and Women Business Enterprises (MWBE) and small business legislation, leading to the development and implementation of solutions that shaped new or revised laws, such as:

  • Linked Deposit program
  • Limited Small Works Roster
  • General contractor construction manager (GCCM)
  • Design Build
  • Job ordering contracting (JOC)
Projects/Contracts Portfolio

Services Spotlight

My projects/contracts portfolio exceeds $3.5 billion.

  • Multiple Sound Transit light rail stations
  • Lake Union Street Car
  • City of Seattle Combined Sewer Overflow
  • Multiple mixed-used housing projects over 250 units
Commitment to Positive Change

Committed to empowering MWBEs through my activities and strong relationships with the government and its vendors.
