bidding, and that this bid is made without reference to any other bid and without any
agreement, understanding or combination with any other person in reference to such
bidding. Contractor further says that no person or persons, firms, or corporation has, have
or will receive directly or indirectly, any rebate, fee, gift, commission or thing of value
on account of such sale; and
2. Contractor certifies by submission of this proposal that neither contractor nor any
of its principals are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared
ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any Federal
department or agency; and
3. Contractor has not, nor has any successor to, nor an affiliate of, Contractor, engaged in
investment activities in Iran.
a. For purposes of this Certification, "Iran" means the government of Iran and any
agency or instrumentality of Iran, or as otherwise defined at Ind. Code § 5-22-16.5-5,
as amended from time -to -time.
b. As provided by Ind. Code § 5-22-16.5-8, as amended from time -to -time, a Contractor
is engaged in investment activities in Iran if either:
Contractor, its successor or its affiliate, provides goods or services of twenty
million dollars ($20,000,000) or more in value in the energy sector of Iran;
or
ii. Contractor, its successor or its affiliate, is a financial institution that extends

and
5. Contractor shall require his/her/its subcontractors performing work under this
public contract to certify that the subcontractors do not knowingly employ or contract

enrolled in and is participating in the E-Verify Program. The Contractor agrees to
maintain this certification throughout the term of the contract with the City of South

notified by the City.
6. Persons, partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint venturers awarded a
contract by the City of South Bend through its agencies, boards, or commissions shall not
discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment in the performance of a
City contract with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment,
or any matter directly or indirectly related to employment because of race, sex, religion,
color, national origin, ancestry, age, gender expression, gender identity, sexual
orientation or disability that does not affect that person's ability to perform the work.
In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment,
materials, or any combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works
contracts awarded under public bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are
not required by law, the City, its agencies, boards, or commissions may consider the
Contractor's good faith efforts to obtain participation by those Contractors certified by
the State of Indiana as a Minority Business ("MBE") or as a Women's Business
Enterprise ("WBE") as a factor in determining the lowest, responsible, responsive
bidder.
In no event shall persons or entities seeking the award of a City contract be required to
award a subcontract to an MBE/WB.E; however, it may not unlawfully discriminate
against said WBE/MBE. A finding of a discriminatory practice by the City's MBE/WBE
Utilization Board shall prohibit that person or entity from being awarded a City contract
for a period of one (1) year from the date of such determination, and such determination
may also be grounds for terminating the contact for which the discriminatory practice or
noncompliance pertains.
7. The undersigned contractor agrees that the following nondiscrimination
commitment shall be made a part of any contract which it may henceforth enter into with
the City of South Bend, Indiana or any of its agencies, boards or commissions.
Contractor agrees not to discriminate against or intimidate any employee or applicant for
employment in the performance of this contract with privileges of employment, or any
matter directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, religion, color, sex,
gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, handicap, national origin or
ancestry. Breach of this provision may be regarded as material breach of contract.
I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works project, understand my
statutory obligations to the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United
States (LC. 5-16-8-1). I hereby certify that I and all subcontractors employed by me for
this project will use steel products or foundry products made in the United States on this
project if awarded. I understand I have an affirmative duty to notify the City in my bid
that my proposal does not include the use of steel products or foundry products made in
the United States. I understand it is my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a
justification to the City, subject to review and approval, why the cost of United States
made steel or foundry products is unreasonable. Prior to award and upon submission of
bid which does not use steel products or foundry products made in the United States, the
City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination if the price of
United States made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations
hereunder may result in forfeiture of contractual payments.
I hereby affirm under the penalties of perjury that the facts and information contained in the foregoing bid
for public works are true and correct.

The City seeks to enhance its ability to identify responsive and responsible bidders on
all City public works projects by institution of comprehensive submission requirements
in compliance with State law. Quality workmanship, efficient operation, safety, and
timely completion of projects requires that all bidders meet certain minimum
requirements to be responsive and responsible bidders.
THIS FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR BID.
INSTRUCTIONS:
If you are a pre -qualified bidder, complete Section I only.
If you are not a pre -qualified bidder, complete Section II only.
Section II acts as an application for pre -qualification. Submission of Section II will allow the bidder to be
considered for pre -qualification for bids with the City of South Bend Department of Public Works. Pre -
qualified bidders will then be exempt from a portion of the submission requirements outlined in Section 6-
63 of The Responsible Bidding Ordinance No. 10594-18 (hereinafter, "Responsible Bidding Ordinance")
for a period of twelve (12) months.
Thereafter, contractors who are pre -qualified must submit a complete application for continuation of "pre -
qualified" standing, on a form provided by the City ("Responsible Bidder Checklist (1) Pre -Qualified
Bidders") by December 31 sc for the upcoming calendar year, or within twelve (12) months of obtaining pre -
qualified standing. If the status of any item changes within the twelve (12) months, it is the responsibility
of the contractor to notify the City. Failure by any pre -qualified contractor to submit its complete
application for continuation of "pre -qualified" standing within the time prescribed above shall result in
automatic removal of the designation, effective January 1 of the following year, or immediately following
the twelve (12) months of pre -qualified standing.
However, the "removed" contractor or subcontractor shall still be permitted to bid on City public works
projects, though the contractor must submit all required documents under 6-63 until "pre -qualified" status
is re-established.
Please Note: The City reserves the right to request supplemental information from the bidder,
additional verification of any information provided by the bidder, and may also conduct random
inquiries of the bidder's current and previous customers regardless of pre -qualified standing.
It is the sole responsibility of the potential bidder to comply with all submission requirements applicable to
the bidder in Section 6-63 of the Responsible Bidding Ordinance no later than the date of the public bid
opening.
POST BID SUBMISSIONS:
Post -bid submissions must be submitted in accordance with Section 6-64 of the Responsible Bidding
Ordinance. The post -bid submission requirements are as follows:
1. All bidders shall collect, maintain, and provide upon request, a current written list that discloses
the name, address, licensing status, and type of work for any subcontractor from whom the bidder

thousand dollars ($150,000.00), shall be required to adhere to the requirements of Section I of
