1. Contractor has not, nor has any other member, representative, or agent of the firm, company,

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:
i. 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

Version 07/19/2023 Contractor's Bid for Public Works - 4
Contractor agrees that he/she/it shall enroll in and verify the work eligibility status of all of Contractor's
newly hired employees through the E-Verify Program as defined by I.C. 22-5-1.7-3. Contractor's
documentation of enrollment and participation in the E-Verify Program is included and attached as part of
this bid/quote; 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 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. I understand that violations hereunder
Version 07/19/2023 Contractor's Bid for Public Works - 5
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 "1 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. Al 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,

On September 13, 2010, the Governor's Commission on Supplier Diversity approved the department's
effort to streamline its recertification process. Instead of conducting an onsite visit to each company seeking
recertification, the department now has the discretion to waive the visit after a thorough review of the
company's file and recertification documents. We have approved your recertification and it is valid through
July 31, 2026. Please note that IDOA continues to reserve the right to conduct a site visit or phone interview
at any time with certified companies.
Although your certification is valid for three years, you are required to submit an annual Affidavit of
Continued Eligibility (ACE) form year. Instructions on how to receive and complete this form can be
located at hDs://www.in.gov/idoa/mwbe/miii2ri — nd-womens-business-ente rises/cert' - our-
business/.Please remember that you must notify us immediately if any changes occur. Failure to notify us
of changes or to provide an ACE form annually will result in the revocation of your certification. Changes
include, but are not Iimited to, changes in location, contact information, ownership, and control.
We encourage you to visit IDOA's procurement website, www.in.p-ov/idoa/2464.htm, and update your
Business Registration Profile. You must review and update your profile regularly, because state purchasing
agents and prime contractors may use this information to contact you for business opportunities.
