The City of Charlotte has provided a reference document detailing the Charlotte Business INClusion (CBI) Program's administrative procedures. This manual outlines strategies for involving Minority, Women, and Small Business Enterprises (MWSBEs) in city contracts. Key sections define contract goals, participation plans for various agreements (including developer and infrastructure reimbursement agreements), and exemptions. The program sets goals for MWSBE participation in contracts of $100,000 or more and outlines procedures for new subcontracting opportunities that may arise during a project. It also specifies exempt contracts, such as those funded by federal or state governments with their own requirements, interlocal agreements, and real estate acquisitions.
