As a condition of federal grant assistance, RT has adopted a DBE program for RT's federally funded contracts. No DBE goal has been established for this project.

No subcontracting opportunities have been identified for this project and therefore, no SBE goal has been established for this project. However, Proposers must ensure that SBEs have the opportunity to participate in the performance of this contract and must take all necessary and reasonable steps to obtain SBE participation.
RT hereby notifies all proposers it will affirmatively ensure that, in regard to any contract entered into pursuant to this solicitation, all proposers will be afforded full opportunity to submit a proposal in response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against based on race, color, creed, sex, disability, age, or national origin in consideration for an award.
