is modified to provide for a facility capable of housing at least 1000
adults (850 adult males and 150 females) AND 20 juveniles (15 males
and 5 females) per day. The Contractor's facility is to be located
fifteen miles from Interstate-35 in Frio, La Salle, Webb, Medina or
Atascosa Counties, Texas. Offerors shall be required to provide
information to the INS for compliance with the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq., and the

DAYS after the date of this Notice the offeror shall submit a Phase I
Survey conducted in accordance with the American Society of Testing and

Assessment: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process." The Phase
I Survey shall include, as a "None-Scope Consideration" under Chapter
12 of the Standard Practice, a delineation or identification of
on-site wetlands and an analysis of potential impacts to threatened or
endangered species or species of special status. The identification of
on-site wetlands should include an on-site reconnaissance level
survey/report by a qualified wetlands specialist, the National Wetlands
Inventory map for the projected area, and an identification of hydric
soils on the proposed property. The analysis of potential impacts to
threatened and endangered species and species of special status should
include a site reconnaissance report identifying potential habitat or
presence of protected species by a qualified biologist with federal
and state threatened and endangered species (plant and animal) lists.
Failure to submit the Phase I Survey for any site within 60 calendar
days shall preclude that site from being considered for this
procurement. The Government shall only accept offers for which a Phase
I Survey has been timely submitted. All other offers will be rejected.
Any, and all, information submitted as apart of the Phase I Survey
shall be considered non-proprietary and, at the discretion of the
Government, be made public during the Scoping process under NEPA or at
any other appropriate time. Offerors who have previously requested a

(NEPA) issues are resolved. Offerors are invited to attend a
contractor's conference on 7/18/00 to be held at the Worthington Hotel,
200 Main Street, Fort Worth, TX from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The conference
