CHARLOTTE BUSINESS INCLUSION (CBI)
00 45 00 - 1
1. APPLICATION:
The City’s Charlotte Business INClusion (CBI) Policy is incorporated into and made a part of this solicitation and the
resulting contract (the “Contract”). Copies of the CBI Policy may be obtained by:
Internet:
www.charlottebusinessinclusion.com
Mail:
Charlotte Business INClusion Office
600 East Trade Street, Suite 300
Charlotte, North Carolina 28202
Capitalized terms used in this document shall have the meanings set forth in Part A, Appendix 1 of the CBI Policy.
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 Policy requires that you either (a) meet the SBE Utilization Goal, as listed in Section 2
below; or (b) comply with the Good Faith Efforts and Good Faith Negotiation requirements referenced in Section 3
below. Failure to comply with the CBI Policy in the bid phase constitutes grounds for rejection of your bid. Failure to
comply after contract award may result in assessment of damages and/ or termination of your contract.
2. THE SBE AND MBE UTILIZATION GOAL:
You must submit your proposed SBE and MBE utilization for this Contract on CBI Form 3 (Subcontractor/Supplier
Utilization Commitment Form) listing subcontractors and suppliers that will be providing goods or services. CBI Form
3 MUST be submitted with your bid. Failure to submit CBI Form 3 with your bid shall constitute grounds for rejecting
a bid.
There is an established 15.00% SBE Subcontracting Goal and 5.00% MBE Subcontracting Goal. In measuring SBE and
MBE Goal attainment, a firm that is certified as both an SBE by the City and also registered with the City as an MBE
shall be counted in both the SBE category and the MBE category. For example, work committed to an SBE that is also
an MBE shall count toward both the SBE and MBE Project Goals.
The MBE Goal established for this project can only be met with City of Charlotte registered MBEs that have been
certified as a Historically Underutilized Business by the State of North Carolina who have an ethnic designation of:
• African American
• Hispanic
• Native American
Bidders must state the projected dollar amount for each SBE and MBE listed on their CBI Form 3 and indicate the total
dollar value of SBE and MBE participation for the contract. In the event the bidder has no SBE participation or no MBE
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 toward the SBE Goal and
MBE Goal for SBE and MBE participation that :
a.
b.
c.
d.
Is listed on CBI Form 3 submitted with the Bid; and
Is listed on CBI Form 3A (when applicable); and
is documented by CBI Form 4 (Letter of Intent) which is submitted to the City within three (3) Business Days
after the City requests it; and
Meets all the requirements of Part B Section 3 of the CBI Policy.
SBEs and MBEs 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 Part A of the CBI Policy.
Bids submitted which do not have the above required SBE and MBE information indicated on CBI Form 3 constitutes
grounds for the Bid to be considered non-responsive and rejected.
CHARLOTTE BUSINESS INCLUSION (CBI)
00 45 00 - 2
The SBE goal and MBE goal will represent the total dollars to be spent with SBEs and MBEs as a portion of the total bid
amount, which includes contingency. The SBE and MBE percentage will be rounded to two decimal places. As an
example, if the SBE and/or MBE percentage is 3.571, it should be listed as 3.57% or if it is 3.578, it will be 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 SBE Goal and MBE Goal for this Contract will apply to the total
contract amount including contingency and the selected Alternates (“Total Contract Amount”). If a low bidder would
meet the SBE Goal and MBE Goal on the base bid amount, but would not meet the SBE Goal and MBE 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 SBE Goal and MBE Goal calculated on the Total Contract
Amount. The low bidder will be required to utilize 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 SBE Goal and/or the MBE Goal, calculated on the Total Contract Amount, then the
Bidder must meet the Good Faith Efforts and Good Faith Negotiation requirements set forth in Part B Sections 4 and 5
of the CBI Policy. GFE Points will be calculated, independently, for each Subcontracting Goal that is not met. For
instance, if the Bidder fails to meet both the SBE Goal and the MBE Goal that was set with respect to African
American, Native American and Hispanic firms, the Bidder will have to earn the minimum GFE points for SBEs, and
also the minimum GFE points for MBEs.
If the Bidder fails to meet the SBE Goal and MBE Goal on the Total Contract Amount, and fails to earn the required
Good Faith Effort points, the Bid will be rejected.
The City will request CBI Form 4 Letters of Intent if you are a finalist for contract award. You must submit a separate
CBI Form 4 for each SBE and MBE subcontractor/supplier identified on CBI Form 3 (and CBI Form 3A, if applicable)
within three (3) Business Days after the City requests it.
3. GOOD FAITH EFFORTS and GOOD FAITH NEGOTIATION:
BOTH THE SBE AND MBE GOALS MUST BE MET. IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE SBE AND MBE UTILIZATION GOALS, then
you must meet the Good Faith Efforts and Good Faith Negotiation requirements set forth in Part B Sections 4 and 5 of
the CBI Policy. These are summarized below. Detailed information of the City’s Good Faith Efforts and Good Faith
Negotiation requirements can be found in the CBI Policy, Part B, Sections 4 and 5. Failure to meet the Good Faith
Efforts and Good Faith Negotiation requirements will constitute grounds for rejection of your bid.
Documenting Good Faith Efforts. To demonstrate Good Faith Efforts (GFE) compliance, Bidders must complete and
submit CBI Form 5 Good Faith Efforts (GFE) and Statement of GFE Compliance. A minimum of fifty (50) GFE Points
must be earned for each project when an SBE goal or MBE goal are not met. If more than one Subcontracting Goal is
not met, then Bidders will be required to complete and submit a separate form for each unmet goal.
CBI Form 5 lists GFEs and the number of points attainable for each type of Good Faith Effort. The City will request
your Good Faith Efforts (GFE) / Statement of GFE Compliance if you are a finalist for contract award, and you must
submit CBI Form 5 and all supporting documentation within three (3) Business Days after the City requests it.
In deciding whether to award GFEs, the City will assess whether the efforts employed by the Bidder are those that a
prime contractor would reasonably be expected to take if actively and aggressively trying to meet the MBE/SBE Goal
established for the Contract. This assessment will be made on a case-by-case basis taking all available facts into
account. The focus will be on the likely effectiveness of steps taken. Mere pro forma efforts will not be sufficient.
CHARLOTTE BUSINESS INCLUSION (CBI)
00 45 00 - 3
In awarding GFEs, the City may also take into account: (1) the Bidder’s past performance in meeting SBE goals; and (2)
the performance of other Bidders in meeting the established SBE Goal and MBE Goal on the Contract up for award.
For example, when the apparent low Bidder fails to meet the SBE Goal and MBE Goal, but other Bidders meet it, the
City may reasonably raise the question of whether, with additional reasonable efforts, the apparent low Bidder could
have met the goal.
It is important that you carefully review Part B Sections 4 and 5 of the CBI Policy in order to understand and comply
with all requirements. All actions necessary to earn the required GFE Points must be undertaken prior to Bid Opening.
Failure to comply with the requirements set forth in this section shall constitute grounds for rejecting a bid.
3.1 SBE and MBE Contacts
In order to receive credit for GFE 5.3.1, SBE and MBE Contacts, at least ten (10) Calendar Days prior to Bid Opening,
must contact SBE and MBE firms in a manner reasonably calculated to meet the SBE Goal and MBE Goal established
for the Contract. An SBE and MBE Source List can is located at www.charlottebusinessinclusion.com.
Please refer to Part B Section 5.3.1 of the CBI Policy regarding how these Contacts must be made and documented.
Contacts are to be recorded on CBI Form 2 (Solicitation Form), which is submitted along with CBI Form 5, within three
(3) Business Days after requested by the City.
3.2 Good Faith Negotiation.
Bidders must negotiate in good faith with all interested SBE and MBE firms. Part B Section 4 of the CBI Policy defines
what negotiating in “Good Faith” means. Among other things, it means that if an SBE and/or MBE is low bid on a
contract for construction or for the procurement of goods, then you must contract with that SBE and/or MBE unless it
is not “Qualified” within the meaning of the CBI Policy.
3.3 SBE and MBE Assistance Organizations.
To receive credit for GFE 5.3.4, Working with SBE and MBE Assistance Organization, the Bidder must document that it
worked with one of the following organizations, as described in Part B, Section 5.3.4 of the CBI Policy:
• Metrolina Minority Contractors Association (MMCA)
• Hispanic Contractors Association of the Carolinas (HCAC)
• United Minority Contractors of North Carolina (UMCNC)
• Carolinas Association of General Contractors (CAGC)
3.4 Self-Performance.
A Bidder that intends to perform 100% of the work on a Contract with its own workforce may submit an affidavit (CBI
Form 1) stating that the Bidder does not customarily subcontract elements of this type project, and normally performs
and has the capability to perform and will perform all elements of work on this contract with its own current
workforces. In such event the Bidder shall not be required to comply with Part B, Section 5 of the CBI Policy.
However, if the Bidder is not licensed to perform each and every type of work included in the Contract, or if the City
has cause to believe based on past practice or other grounds that the Bidder will not be performing all work under the
Contract with its own workforce, then the City may reject the Bidder’s Bid for non-compliance with the CBI Policy.

The parties agree that:
I.
The terms of the CBI Policy, as revised from time to time, together with all rules and guidelines established,
are incorporated into this Contract by reference; and
II. A violation of the CBI Policy shall constitute a material breach of this Contract, and shall entitle the City to
exercise any of the remedies set forth in Part D of the CBI Policy, including but not limited to liquidated
damages; and
III. Without limiting any of the other remedies the City has under the CBI Policy, the City shall be entitled to
withhold periodic payments and final payment due to the Contractor under this Contract until the City has
received in a form satisfactory to the City all claim releases and other documentation required by the City’s
CBI Policy, and in the event payments are withheld under this provision, the Contractor waives any right to
interest that might otherwise be warranted on such withheld amount under G.S. 143-134.1; and
IV. The remedies set forth in Part D Section 14 of the CBI Policy shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive
and may be exercised successively or concurrently, in addition to any other available remedy; and
CHARLOTTE BUSINESS INCLUSION (CBI)
00 45 00 - 5
V. The City will incur costs if the Contractor violates the CBI Policy, and such costs are difficult to ascertain due
to their indefiniteness and uncertainty. Accordingly, the Contractor agrees to pay the City liquidated
damages at the rates set forth in Part D of the CBI Policy.
VI. The Contractor agrees to participate in any dispute resolution process specified by the City from time to time
for the resolution of disputes arising from the CBI Policy.
VII. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to relieve a Contractor from any obligation it may have under N.C.
Gen. Stat. 143-134.1 regarding the payment of subcontractors.
Remedies for Violation of CBI Policy. A violation of the CBI Policy by a Contractor shall constitute a material breach of
the Contract, and shall entitle the City or private owner to:
I.
II.
III.
IV.
Exercise all rights and remedies that it may have at law or at equity for violation of the CBI Policy;
Terminate the Contract for default;
Suspend the Contract for default;
Withhold all payments due to the Contractor under the Contract until such violation has been fully cured or
the City and the Contractor have reached a mutually agreeable resolution;
V. Assess liquidated damages as provided in Part D Section 14.2; and/or
VI. Offset any liquidated damages and/or any amounts necessary to cure any violation of the CBI Policy from any
retainage being held by the City on the Contract, or from any other amounts due to the Contractor under the
Contract.
The remedies set forth herein shall be deemed cumulative and not exclusive, and may be exercised successively or
concurrently, in addition to any other available remedy.
Liquidated Damages. The City and the Contractor acknowledge and agree that the City will incur costs if the
Contractor violates the CBI Policy in one or more of the ways set forth below, including but not limited to loss of
goodwill, detrimental impact on economic development and diversion of internal staff resources. The parties further
acknowledge and agree that the damages the City might reasonably be anticipated to accrue as a result of such
failures are difficult to ascertain due to their indefiniteness and uncertainty. Accordingly, the Contractor agrees to pay
the liquidated damages assessed by the City at the rates set forth below for each specified violation of the CBI Policy.
The Contractor further agrees that for each specified violation the agreed upon liquidated damages are reasonably
proximate to the loss the City will incur as a result of such violation:
Failure to Meet Committed SBE and MBE Goal. If the City determines upon completion or termination of a
Contract that the Contractor did not meet a Committed SBE Goal and/or MBE Goal and that such failure is not
otherwise excused under Part D of the CBI Policy, the City may assess the lesser of: (a) $200,000 or (b) the
dollar difference between the Committed SBE Goal and/or MBE Goal that was missed and the Contractor’s
actual SBE and/or MBE utilization toward that Goal. Such amount may be assessed when it becomes apparent
that it will not be possible for the Contractor to achieve the Committed SBE and/or MBE Goal.
II. Use of a SBE and/or MBE as a Conduit. If the Contractor lists an SBE and/or MBE to receive credit toward a
Committed SBE and/or MBE Goal with knowledge that the SBE and/or MBE will be acting as a Conduit or will
not be performing a Commercially Useful Function reasonably commensurate with the payment amount for
which the Contractor will be seeking credit, the City may assess the lesser of: (a) $100,000 per incident; or (b)
the dollar amount the Contractor indicated that it would pay such SBE and/or MBE in the SBE/MBE’s contract
(or if no contract has been signed, the SBE/MBE’s Letter of Intent).
III. Wrongful Termination or Replacement of SBE and/or MBE. If the Contractor terminates or replaces an SBE
and/or MBE in violation of the CBI Policy, the City may assess the lesser of: (a) $50,000 per incident; or (b) the
dollar amount of the work remaining to be performed by the terminated SBE and/or MBE at the time it was
terminated (or if the SBE and/or MBE was not terminated because it was never retained, then the dollar
amount that the Contractor indicated it would pay the SBE and/or MBE in the SBE/MBE’s Letter of Intent).
I.
CHARLOTTE BUSINESS INCLUSION (CBI)
00 45 00 - 6
IV. Failure to Comply with CBI Policy Following Termination or Withdrawal of an SBE and/or MBE. If the
Contractor fails to comply with the Modified Good Faith Efforts requirements (Part D, Section 5 of the CBI
Policy) in replacing an SBE and/or MBE that is terminated or withdraws from work on a project, the City may
assess the lesser of: (a) $50,000 per incident or (b) the dollar amount of the work remaining to be performed
by the SBE and/or MBE that withdrew or was terminated at the time of the termination or withdrawal.
V. Failure to Comply with CBI Policy to Add New Subcontractors. If the Contractor fails to comply with the
Modified Good Faith Efforts requirements (Part D, Section 5 of the CBI Policy) in adding new subcontractors to
a Contract, or when the scope of work of a Contract changes so as to create a new SBE and/or MBE
subcontracting opportunity, the City may assess the lesser of: (a) $50,000 per incident; or (b) the dollar
amount of the new or additional work.
VI. False Statements and Misrepresentations. If the Contractor makes a false statement or material
misrepresentation or material misleading omission regarding any matter relevant to the CBI Policy (including
but not limited to information relating to good faith efforts, SBE and/or MBE utilization, SBE and/or MBE
certification or payments to SBEs and/or MBEs), the City may assess the lesser of: (a) $50,000 per incident; or
(b) if the misrepresentation relates to payment, the dollar difference between what the Contractor
represented and the truth.
VII. Failure to Respond to Request for Information. If the Contractor fails to provide any report, documentation,
affidavit, certification or written submission required under the CBI Policy within the time period set forth
therein, the City may assess $40 per day for each day that such report, documentation or written submission
is overdue.
VIII. Seeking Credit for Use of An Affiliate to Meet the Committed SBE and/or MBE Goal. If the City finds a
violation of Part D, Section 3 of the CBI Policy due to a Contractor seeking credit for utilizing an SBE and/or
MBE that the City determines to be an Affiliate, the City may assess the lesser of: (a) $75,000 per incident or
(b) the dollar amount the Contractor counted towards its Committed SBE and/or MBE Goal for that SBE and/or
MBE.
