<h3>NASA Awards a $52.3-Million Contract to a Cleveland Firm</h3> 
Cleveland, OH -- The NASA Lewis Research Center has awarded Robert P. 
Madison International, Cleveland, Ohio, a small disadvantaged 
business, a contract for engineering, construction and environmental 
services to be performed at the Lewis Research Center and at the Plum 
Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio. 

The cost-plus-award fee contract will have a phase-in period of 
approximately 1 month, a basic period of 2 years and three 1-year 
optional renewal periods. The base contract dollar amount is $14.6 
million. The total contract value is estimated at $52.3 million. 

The contractor will perform a variety of engineering, construction and 
environmental services for rehabilitation, modification and 
construction of research and institutional facilities and systems.

The Lewis Research Center is obligating approximately $52 million in 
contracts to small disadvantaged businesses from the estimated total 
obligations of $655 million for fiscal year 1994.

Engineering Design Group (EDG), Tulsa, Okla., had been selected for 
this contract award in January 1994. The notification selecting EDG 
was rescinded based on a Small Business Administration, Dallas, 
Texas, determination that EDG exceeded the small business size 
standard required by the solicitation, thereby rendering them 
ineligible for the contract award.
