Charlotte Business INClusion
Contract goals were not established for this contract because the scope of work or goods does not present viable subcontracting opportunities. CHA Consulting, Inc. will be responsible 100% of the work or goods, and there are no opportunities to include subcontractors. This assessment was confirmed by CBI and the respective department after reviewing the project’s scope and potential for division into subcontracting opportunities.
