0-8_[On Call Transit Consultant Services] 8-Federal Tax Liability and.pdf

This is a Federal Tax Liability and Recent Felony Convictions Certification form for the Arizona Department of Transportation's On Call Transit Consultant Services procurement (Solicitation No. BPM007068). The solicitation seeks to establish multiple on-call contracts for multimodal transit consulting services across six primary disciplines: Transit Planning Studies, Transit Planning Tasks, Transit Operations Planning, Transit Operations Tasks, Strategic Planning, and Coordination and Mobility Management Projects. Services will be provided on an as-needed basis through individual task assignments over a twelve-month initial contract term with potential extension up to forty-eight months total. Proposals were due by September 10, 2025. Eligible respondents include federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities, with a particular focus on supporting rural and small urban transit services, transportation for elderly and disabled populations, and transit planning initiatives.

Contractors will be reimbursed on an hourly rate basis for actual work performed, with task-specific assignments detailing scope, deliverables, and performance metrics. The solicitation establishes a 0.00% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal, though DBE participation is encouraged. Funding is provided through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305. The certification document requires prospective contractors to confirm they have no unpaid federal tax liabilities and were not convicted of any felony criminal violation under federal law within the preceding twenty-four months; contractors unable to certify these conditions require written FTA approval before contract award.
