# General Technical Question Answer Date 1 X Q1: Government contracts sometimes require the testing laboratory be AASHTO accredited. Is that a requirement for this project?

A2: Yes. See Subsection 574.04.

2 X Looking for a detail on the poured concrete abutment and reinforcing steel for the abutment.

3 X It appears that the requirements for this project is 50% of the labor needs to be performed by a HUBZone contractor.

Reading FAR Clause 52.219‐3 #4 it references Construction by Special Trade Contractors which says that 25% of the cost of contract performance to be incurred for HUBZone personnel. This project appears to require multiple specialty trade contractor, so does this contract fall under the 50% or 25%?

The work identified in this solicitation is primarily for general construction.

Therefore, “52.219‐3(d)(3) of 52.219‐3 Notice of HUBZone Set‐Aside or Sole Source Award” would apply. (4/4/17) In addition to our previous response, we offer the following additional information: for General Construction, 50% is required.
