C-4Proven solutions <br />Responsive and dependable performance <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No. 20-07-01: Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA) <br />Minority, Small & Disadvantaged Businesses <br />Minority Business Certification <br />CES Consultants, Inc. <br />01/10/2020 01/10/2022 <br />CES Consultants, Inc. is a Certified Minority Business Enterprise as defined by the Florida Small and Minority Business <br />Assistance Act and a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), certified by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). <br />Additionally, our proposed Survey & Mapping consultant, Longitude Surveyors, LLC is certified as a Disadvantaged Business <br />Enterprise (DBE) as well as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) by Miami Dade County. Our proposed Geotechnical Engineering <br />consultant GCES Engineering Services, LLC is certified by FDOT as a Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE); a Minority, Small <br />and Micro Business Enterprise (MWBE\SBE\MBE) by Miami Dade County Public Schools; and a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) <br />by Miami Dade County. <br />CES, a 100% minority-owned firm, is committed to meeting goals for subcontracting with and promoting minority- and woman- <br />owned small businesses. This is evidenced by our sponsorship of and attendance at various Small Business Conferences <br />throughout Florida over the last 19 years, our past projects meeting and exceeding governmental contracting goals by <br />typically assigning 15-40% of total fees to SBE and WMBE firms, and subcontracting to WMBE and SBE firms, even when CES <br />could exceed the WMBE/SBE goals on its own. <br />CES could not have graduated from SBE status and experienced the growth we have achieved over the past 19 years without <br />help and mentoring from larger firms. Giving back, our firm recognizes the importance of nurturing relationships with Small, <br />Woman and Minority Disadvantaged Business Enterprise firms and, as such, has been working with and mentoring several firms <br />on a regular basis, not just to fulfill a required percentage. After completing successful projects with these SBE and WMBE firms, <br />teaching business fundamentals, design coaching and permitting advice, these firms, in some cases become prime consultants <br />and true partners of CES. Watching these firms develop and grow is a testament to the power of these programs.
