Charlotte Business INClusion
Contract goals were not established for this contract because the scope of work or goods required does not present viable subcontracting opportunities. Industrial Sign & Graphics, Inc. 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.
