Contractor has not, nor has any other member, representative, or agent of the firm, company, corporation or partnership represented by him, entered into any combination, collusion or agreement with any person relative to the price to be bid by anyone at such letting nor to prevent any person from bidding nor to induce anyone to refrain from 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: 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 million dollars ($20,000,000) or more in credit to another person for forty-five (45) days or more, if that person will (i) use the credit to provides goods and services in the energy sector in Iran; and (ii) at the time the financial institution extends credit, is a person identified on list published by the Indiana Department of Administration. 4. Contractor does not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien, nor retain any employee or contract with a person that the Contractor subsequently learns is an unauthorized Indiana Elkhart Version 1/3/2025 Page - 29 Public Works Quote alien.

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 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.

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. **THIS FORM ONLY APPLIES TO BIDS GREATER THAN $250,000. ** 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- 71 of The Responsible Bidding Ordinance No. 10975-23 (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”) 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 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 6-71 until “pre-qualified” status is re-established.

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).
