Any contract or contracts awarded under this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) are expected to be funded by grants/loans from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF).

This RFQ is issued in accordance with Section 2254 of the Texas Government Code (Professional Services Act) and Title 40 CFR Part 31 (Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments).
This procurement is subject to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) "fair share policy," which includes EPA-approved "fair share goals" for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) & Women Business Enterprise (WBE) firms in the Construction, Supplies, Equipment, and Services procurement categories. EPA's policy requires that applicants and prime contractors make a good faith effort to award a fair share of contracts, subcontracts, and procurements to SMWBEs. Although EPA's policy does not mandate that the fair share goals be achieved, it does require applicants and prime contractors to demonstrate use of the six affirmative steps. The current fair share goals for the State of Texas are as follows:
MBE: CONSTRUCTION 12.94%; SUPPLIES 9.68%; EQUIPMENT 7.12%; SERVICES 10.8%.
