The SB Goal for SB participation on this contract represent the total dollars that will be spent

amendments. In accordance with the SB Program, the Authority will require that the selected
firm must either meet the SB goal or demonstrate that the firm has made sufficient good faith
efforts to meet the SB goal.

0% Small Business (SB).
