URGE SMALLER-SIZE
CONSTRUCTION CON
TRACTS FOR ALASKA
Breaking down of Federal en
gineering and construction con
tracts in Alaska to a size which
would permit resident architec ur
a,l engineering and construction
firms to handle them has been
urged upon Federal construction
agencies by the Alaska Develop
ment Board.
The Board points out in a reso
lution adopted at a recent mee ing
that the size of contracts advertis
ed for bidding has, in many cases,
been so great that only a few con
struction firms with large re
sources have been in a position to
bid on them.
The Board recommends . that
contract terms be so drawn as to
enable the resident Alaska firms to
have a chance at them on an equal
basis.
