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

Contractor's good faith efforts to obtain participation by those Contractors certified by the

("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/WBE; however, it may not unlawfully discriminate against
said WBE/MBE. A fording 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

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
for public works are true and correct.
