Charlotte Business INClusion
MB Premier and Turf Commander are city-certified MBEs, and Roundtree Companies, Inc. is a city-certified MBE and SBE. Contract goals were not established for these contracts because the scope of work required does not present viable subcontracting opportunities. The selected companies will be responsible for 100% of the work, and there are no opportunities to include subcontractors. This assessment was confirmed by CBI and the respective departments after reviewing the project’s scope and potential for division into subcontracting opportunities.
