Therefore, no invoices are submitted and or reflected in SOLIS yet – see table above. FE is required to make good faith efforts to utilize LBEs for any scopes of work, or portions thereof, which can reasonably be subcontracted throughout the life of the agreement on future task orders.
To increase LBE participation for this contract, FE has added LBE subcontractor Armour Fence to provide fence repair.
