                   Opportunity (Executive Order 11246)

    1. The Offeror's or Bidder's attention is called to the ``Equal 
Opportunity Clause'' and the ``Standard Federal Equal Employment 
Specifications'' set forth herein.
    2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation, 
expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate workforce 
in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as 
follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  Goals for minority   Goals for female
          Time- tables             participation for   participation in
                                      each trade          each trade
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                  Insert goals for    Insert goals for
                                   each year.          each year.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work 
(whether or not it is Federal or federally assisted) performed in the 
covered area. If the contractor performs construction work in a 
geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply 
the goals established for such geographical area where the work is 
actually performed. With regard to this second area, the contractor also 
is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and nonfederally 
involved construction.
    The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the 
regulations in   41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be based on its implementation 
of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations 
required by the specifications set forth in   41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its 
efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment 
and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the 
contract, and in each trade, and the contractor shall make a good faith 
effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. 
The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor 
to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting 
the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of the contract, the 
Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4. Compliance with 
the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.
    3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director 
of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs within 10 working 
days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at 
any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this 
solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address and 
telephone number of the subcontractor; employer identification number of 
the subcontractor; estimated dollar amount of the subcontract; estimated 
starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical 
area in which the subcontract is to be performed.
    4. As used in this Notice, and in the contract resulting from this 
solicitation, the ``covered area'' is (insert description of the 
geographical areas where the contract is to be performed giving the 
state, county and city, if any).
