CHARLOTTE BUSINESS INCLUSION (CBI) PROGRAM 00 55 00 - 1

00 55 00 – CHARLOTTE BUSINESS INCLUSION (CBI) PROGRAM

CBI Policy adopted July 1, 2023

The Charlotte Business INClusion (CBI) Program seeks to enhance competition and participation of Minority-owned, Women-owned, and Small Business Enterprises (MWSBEs) in City contracting.

To accomplish this, the City has increasingly examined its procurements and set specific MWSBE participation goals on a contract-by-contract basis.

In addition, CBI makes a concerted effort to expand its certified MWSBE vendor pool and assist city-certified firms in growing, enhancing, and developing their businesses. CBI currently offers numerous development programs that support certified businesses in organizational training, strategic development, and networking opportunities.

A complete list of City of Charlotte certified Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) and City of Charlotte registered Minority- Owned Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBEs) (SBE, MBE, and WBE, collectively MWSBE) is available on the City’s InclusionCLT system: http://charlotte.diversitycompliance.com

PROJECT SUBCONTRACTING

GOAL:

SBE Goal: 10%

In order to count MWSBE firms toward to project goal, MWSBEs must be certified with the City of Charlotte at the time of bid. For more information around certification requirements, please review the CBI Manual.

1. APPLICATION:

The City’s Charlotte Business INClusion (CBI) Policy and CBI Manual are incorporated into and made a part of this solicitation and the resulting contract (the “Contract”). Copies of the CBI Policy and CBI Manual may be obtained by:

Internet: www.charlottebusinessinclusion.com

Mail: Charlotte Business INClusion Office 600 East Trade Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28202

Capitalized terms used in this document shall have the meanings set forth in the CBI Manual. Each reference to “you” or “your” in these provisions refers to any entity that submits a bid, proposal or statement of qualifications on a City contract, and any entity that enters into a contract with the City.

For this solicitation, the CBI Manual requires that you either (a) meet the established Contract Goal, as listed on the first page of this document; or (b) comply with the Good Faith Efforts and Good Faith Negotiation requirements referenced in Section 3 below.

CHARLOTTE BUSINESS INCLUSION (CBI) PROGRAM 00 55 00 - 2

2. SUBCONTRACTING GOALS:

You must submit your proposed MWSBE utilization for this Contract on CBI Form 3 (Subcontractor/Supplier Utilization Commitment Form) listing all subcontractors and suppliers that will be providing goods or services.

MBE or WBE established Goals can only be met with the City of Charlotte registered MBEs and WBEs that have been certified as a Historically Underutilized Business by the State of North Carolina.

SBE established Goals for this project can only be met with City of Charlotte certified SBEs.

CBI Form 3 MUST be submitted at the time of bid opening. Failure to submit CBI Form 3 at the time of bid opening shall constitute grounds for rejecting the Bid. All bidders must submit their proposed goal commitment at the time of Bid.

If the Bidder does not meet the goal at the time of bid opening, they will have twenty-four (24) hours to submit a completed CBI Form 3 demonstrating that they have met or exceeded the goal. If the goal is not met then, the City will proceed with the Good Faith Efforts process.

Bidders must state the projected dollar amount for each MWSBE firm listed on their CBI Form 3 and indicate the total dollar value of participation for the contract. In the event the bidder has no MWSBE participation, the bidder is still required to indicate this on CBI Form 3 by entering the word or number zero. Blank forms will be deemed to represent zero participation.

The City will only give Bidders credit towards the established Subcontracting Goal that:

a. Is listed on CBI Form 3 submitted at bid or within twenty-four (24) hours of bid opening (if goal not met at bid opening); and

b. Is listed on CBI Form 3A (when applicable); and

c. Is documented by CBI Form 4 (CBI Letter of Intent) which is submitted to the City within three (3) Business Days after the City requests it; and

d. Meets all of the requirements of the CBI Manual.

NOTE: MWSBEs listed on CBI Form 3 must be actively certified/registered with the City of Charlotte as of bid date and must be performing a Commercially Useful Function as defined in the CBI Manual.

Bids submitted that do not have the above required MWSBE information indicated on CBI Form 3 constitutes grounds for the Bid to be considered non-responsive and rejected.

The established Contract Goal will represent the total dollars to be spent with MWSBEs as a portion of the total bid amount, which includes Contingency and excludes Allowances. The MWSBE percentage will be rounded to two decimal places. As an example, if the MBE percentage is 3.571, it should be listed as 3.57%, or if it is 3.578, it should be listed as 3.58%. The percentage will not be rounded to the next “whole” number, i.e., 4%. A Bidder may round up if the third number after the decimal is a five (5) or greater.

In the event Alternates are selected by the City, the established Contract Goal for this Contract will apply to the total contract amount, including Contingency, selected Alternates, and excluding Allowances (“Total Contract Amount”). If a low Bidder would meet the established Contract Goal on the base bid amount, but would not meet the established Subcontracting Goal for the Alternates selected by the City, the Bidder will have three (3) days after the City notifies it of its low bid status to secure enough additional participation to meet the established Contract Goal calculated on the Total Contract Amount. The low Bidder will be required to utilize CBI Form 3A to meet this requirement. This in no way exempts the bidder from the CBI requirements due at bid time.

If the Bidder fails to meet the established Contract Goal, calculated on the Total Contract Amount, then the Bidder must earn the Minimum Good Faith Effort (GFE) Points and meet the Good Faith Negotiation…
