Firms that have the qualifications to perform the services described are invited to submit two copies of completed SF-330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications.

Consideration will be given to the firms responding to this advertisement in the following order of preference: (1) firms located within the advertised area as noted above, and (2) firms located outside the advertised area.
