The intent of this announcement is to gather responses from firms interested in performing this type of work primarily for the Fort Worth District, with the possibility of performing this work for other Southwestern Division Districts (Albuquerque, Galveston, Little Rock and Tulsa,).

This list of firms will be used for this type of project through 30 June 1996. The estimated maximum amount per contract is $3,500,000.00. No firm may receive more than one contract from this announcement. If a large business firm is selected for a contract under this announcement and the amount exceeds $500,000.00 it must comply with the FAR clause 52.219-9 requirement for a SB/SDB subcontracting plan. The Fort Worth District goal on work to be subcontracted is that a minimum of 60.3% of the contractor's total intended subcontract amount be placed with Small Businesses (SB). Our goal further states that of the 60.3%, 9.8% be placed with Small Disadvantaged Businesses (SDB), 5.5% be placed with Historical Black Colleges or Minority Institutions, 2.9% with Women Owned Small Businesses (WOB) and the remaining 42.1% be placed with Small Businesses (SB) for a total of 60.3%.
