Charlotte Business INClusion
Pirtek Charlotte is a city certified MBE. Contract goals were not established for this Contract because the scope of work or goods required does not present viable subcontracting opportunities. Pirtek Charlotte will be responsible for 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.
