UTILIZATION OF LOCAL MINORITY BUSINESS
In 2003, The Corradino Group, Inc. continued to increase working relationships with minority
professional firms and consultants. The firm, through local and national trade subscriptions, seeks
out minority firms to team with for projects in each division and discipline. Corradino subscribes to
the Miami Dade Chamber of Commerce as a source for black professionals. It is mostly'through
networking with the local minority business community that Corradino continues to create partnerships
and teams.
Corradino is currently exceeding the 10% minority participation quota set by the Florida Department
of Transportation.
More significant than the fees subcontracted to DBE firms, are the agreed relationships formed with
certified DBE firms. Corradino now maintains a database of minority -owned firms by Miami -Dade
County certification categories. This file is used to identify subconsultants for assembling project
teams responsive to our clients' needs.
The following list demonstrates Corradino's use of DBE firms in 2003.
