This is a Federal Tax Liability and Recent Felony Convictions certification document associated with the Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT) On Call Transit Consultant Services solicitation (BPM007068). The document serves as a compliance certification requirement for prospective contractors bidding on ADOT's multimodal transit consulting services, which encompass six primary disciplines: Transit Planning Studies, Transit Planning Tasks, Transit Operations Planning, Transit Operations Tasks, Strategic Planning, and Coordination and Mobility Management Projects. The solicitation established a proposal submission deadline of September 10, 2025, with contracts structured for an initial twelve-month term potentially extending to forty-eight months total. Services will be provided on an as-needed basis through individual task assignments, with work reimbursed according to hourly rate structures specified in each task order.

The certification requires that prospective lower tier participants confirm they have no unpaid Federal tax liabilities that have been assessed and remain unpaid, and were not convicted of any felony criminal violations under Federal law within the preceding twenty-four months. HDR Engineering, Inc. is documented as the contractor certifying compliance with these requirements as of September 10, 2025. The contract is funded through Federal Transit Administration (FTA) programs, specifically FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305, with a 0.00% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal, though DBE participation remains encouraged. Eligible respondents include federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities, with the procurement designed to support rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives across Arizona.
