1 Small Business Enterprise Utilization Report JULY JUNE FY 2012 YEAR END Small Business Opportunity Program City of Charlotte 600 East Trade Street Suite 300 Charlotte NC

2 The City of Charlotte is committed to creating a business environment for small businesses that fosters growth and sustainability, which in turn creates economic development in our communities. The City s Small Business Opportunity (SBO) Program is one vehicle that works to develop the educational and business opportunities of our small businesses. In Fiscal Year 2012 (FY12), total informal and formal discretionary spending equaled $414.9 million, with City-certified Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) making up $29.2 million of the total. The $29.2 million spend with City certified SBEs surpasses the 5% goal established by the City for spending with SBEs by 2.05 percent. One of the most significant SBO Program outcomes in FY12 was Council s decision on June 25, 2012 to accept and adopt the findings and analyses in MGT of America, Inc. s 2011 City of Charlotte Disparity Study Update Report*. The Disparity Study Update Report, which analyzed the City s utilization of Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs), found significant disparities in some industry segments. As a result, on June 25, 2012 Council also directed staff to draft a Small Business Enterprise/Minority Women Business Enterprise (S/MWBE) Program that will incorporate race and gender conscious measures in the City s existing SBO Program. City staff, in collaboration with the City Council created Disparity Study Advisory Committee, anticipates presenting the new S/MWBE Program to Council for consideration in Spring Other significant SBO Program highlights for FY12 include: Negotiated six (6) SBE and/or MWBE Participation Goals for the following Public-Private initiatives: Mosaic Village; Knights Baseball Stadium; Ballantyne; Carson/South Boulevard; Elizabeth Avenue; and Double Oaks. On May 24, 2012 hosted the Inaugural Crowns of Enterprise Awards to recognize excellence in diversity and inclusion of small, minority and women owned businesses. Staff provided compliance services for 78 City construction contracts that met the established SBE Goal. Staff recommended five (5) bid rejections for SBO non-compliance. All were upheld by City Council. Payments to Minority and Women-owned Businesses totaled $53.9 million Subcontracting dollars to Minority and Women-owned Businesses increased for the third consecutive year to $14.6 million in FY12, up from $9.5 million in FY10 and $12.7 million in FY11 respectively. 110 new SBEs were added to the existing SBE roster and 113 SBEs successfully recertified. The City invested $10,000 in SBE training and development under the Advance Your Business initiative. Fiscal Year 2013 promises to be a busy year for the SBO Program as we work to ensure greater diversity and inclusion by designing a new Program that incorporates MWBE goals. We look forward to working with the Disparity Study Advisory Committee and all of our partners to ensure that Charlotte continues to engage and equip our small businesses for future success.
