goals on individual solicitations. Nonetheless, the ARRC aspires to achieve an overall DBE participation
of 3.0% in federal fiscal years 2020-2023 on contracts funded by agencies within the U.S. Department
of Transportation. If this contract is funded in whole or in part by funds from the FTA or the FHWA, it
is imperative that you consult the Federal Terms and Conditions portion of this solicitation.
