The document outlines the Small Business Enterprise Program (SBE) of Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission (CCPRC). It defines the eligibility criteria for businesses to be certified under the SBE program, emphasizing the importance of small business inclusion in procurement processes. The program aims to provide opportunities for certified small businesses and encourages prime contractors to engage with SBE companies for subcontracts. The certification process involves completing an application and receiving written notification of approval. The SBE program applies to construction projects above $25,000, with requirements for prime contractors to comply with SBE program provisions. Additionally, the document discusses the implementation of SBE aspirational goals, local preference options for bids, and the evaluation criteria for Requests for Proposals (RFP) and Requests for Qualification (RFQ) to promote local vendor participation in CCPRC procurement processes.
