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

and
3. Contractor has not, nor has any successor to, nor an affiliate of, Contractor, engaged in investment

a. For purposes of this Certification, "Iran" means the government of Iran and any agency or

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 twenty

6. Persons, firms, partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint venturers awarded a

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

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 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.
