<br />GENERAL ASSURANCES
<br />In accordance with the Acts, the Regulations, and other pertinent directives, circulars, policy, memoranda,
<br />and/or guidance, the Recipient hereby gives assurance that it will promptly take any measures necessary to

<br />"The [name of Recipient], in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
<br />1964 (78 Stat. 252, 42 U.S. C 2000d to 2000d-4) and the Regulations, hereby notifies all bidders
<br />that it will affirmatively ensure that in any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement,
<br />disadvantaged business enterprises will be afforded full and fair opportunity to submit bids in
<br />response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, or
