EXHIBIT B -SUBCONTRACTOR INFORMATION AND CONSENT FORM

Subcontractor and/or Teaming Partner Consent for the Release of Past Performance and Reference Information to the Prime Contractor.

Past performance information concerning subcontractors and teaming partners cannot be disclosed to a private party without the subcontractor's or teaming partner's consent. Because a prime contractor is a private party, the Government will need that consent before disclosing subcontractor/teaming partner past and present performance information to the prime during exchanges. In an effort to assist the Government in assessing your past performance relevancy and confidence, we request that the following consent form be completed by the major subcontractors/teaming partners identified in your proposal. The completed consent forms should be submitted to the offering contractor for submission with past performance volume.

_________ (Name of Firm) is currently planning on participating as a (subcontractor and or a teaming partner) with (prime contractor or name of entity providing proposal) in responding to the Request for Proposal No. W91364-10-R-0004 for the "DESIGN/BUILD WATERLINE, RAE” construction project issued by the USPFO FOR OHIO, AGOH-PF-PC, 2811 West Dublin Granville Road, Columbus, Ohio 43235.
