All supplemental documents must be received in FHWA's human resources office by the closing date of the announcement. All announcements close at 12:00 AM (Midnight), Eastern Standard Time. Documents can be faxed to the Washington, DC HR office at (202) 366-3749, Atlanta, GA HR office at (404) 562-3705 and Lakewood, CO HR office at (720) 963-3041.
