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. Version 02/23/2022 General Conditions -10 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 has accepted a bid and/or intends to hire on any part of the public work project, including individuals performing work as independent contractors. 2. Each subcontractor, whose portion of the project is estimated to be at least one -hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00), shall be required to adhere to the requirements of Section I of the Responsible Bidder Ordinance as though it were bidding directly to the City, except that the subcontractor shall submit the required information (including the name, address, and type of work) to the successful bidder prior to the commencement of work. 3. Failure of a subcontractor to submit the required information shall not disqualify the successful bidder from performing work on the project and shall not constitute a contractual default and/or breach by the successful bidder. However, the City may withhold all payment otherwise due for work performed by a subcontractor, until the subcontractor submits the required information and the City approves such information. 4. The disclosure of a subcontractor list ("Disclosed Subcontractor(s)") to the City by a bidder shall not create any rights in the Disclosed Subcontractor(s). Thus, a bidder may substitute another subcontractor for a Disclosed Subcontractor by giving the City, upon request, written notice of the name, address, licensing status, and type of work of the substitute subcontractor. 5. The successful bidder and all subcontractors on a public works project are required to submit certified payroll utilizing the federal form known as WH-347 or a similar form on a bi-weekly basis, submitted within 10 days after the end of each bi-weekly payroll period.

Contractor shall require his/her/its subcontractors performing work under this public contract to certify that the subcontractors do not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien, nor retain any employee or contract with a person that the subcontractor subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien, and that the subcontractor has 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 Bend, and understands that the City may terminate the contract for default if the Contractor fails to cure a breach of this provision no later than thirty (30) days after being notified by the City. 6. Persons, firms, 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 contract or employment, or any matter directly or indirectly related to contracting or employment because of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, or due to age 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 will consider the Contractor's good faith efforts to obtain participation by those subcontractors 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. Contractors seeking the award of a City contract cannot be required to award a subcontract to an MWBE; however, they may not unlawfully discriminate against said MBE/WBE. On goal -eligible contracts, Contractors are required to either meet both MBE and WBE utilization goals or demonstrate that the Contractor has made good faith efforts to obtain participation from MBE and WBE subcontractors. A finding of noncompliance or a discriminatory practice shall prohibit that Contractor 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 to 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 (I.C. 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.

The corporation is committed to this policy by our status as a federally assisted government contractor. We are far more strongly bound to the policy by the fact that adherence to the principles involved is the only acceptable American way of life. Therefore, it is the policy of this corporation to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, housing status, or veterans' status. Such action shall include: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship, pre - apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training. The successful achievement of a nondiscriminatory employment program requires a maximum of cooperation between management and employees. In fulfilling its' part in this cooperative effort, management is obliged to lead the way by establishing and implementing affirmative procedures and practices which will ensure our objective, namely equitable employment opportunity for all. (Minority and female employees are encouraged to participate in all company activities and refer applicants.) I have designated Margaret Garner to direct the establishment of and to monitor the implementation of personnel procedures to guide our affirmative action program. This official is charged with designing and implementing audit and reporting systems that will keep management informed on a regular basis of the status of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action. She can be reached at (317)616-4937. Supervision has been made to understand that their work performance is being evaluated based on their equal employment opportunity efforts and results, as well as other criteria. It shall be a responsibility of the supervision to take actions to prevent harassment of employees placed through affirmative action efforts. We shall comply with the Civic Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Federal Highway Act of 1968, the Executive Order #11246 and #11375, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, the Indiana Civil Rights Act and other applicable Federal and State Laws and regulations pertaining to equality of Opportunities and Affirmative Action policies.
