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

This is a Federal Tax Liability and Recent Felony Convictions certification document for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) On Call Transit Consultant Services solicitation BPM007068. The solicitation establishes 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 extensions up to forty-eight months total. The proposals were due by September 10, 2025, with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. submitting a certified response on that date.

The certification requires prospective contractors to confirm they have no unpaid Federal tax liabilities that have exhausted all judicial and administrative remedies and are not being paid under a timely payment agreement, and that they have not been convicted of any felony criminal violation under Federal law within the preceding twenty-four months. Failure to meet these certification requirements will result in referral to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and prohibition from contract award without FTA written approval. The contract will be funded through federal transit programs including FTA Sections 5311, 5310, and 5305, with reimbursement based on hourly rates for actual work performed as specified in individual task assignments. The solicitation establishes a 0.00% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) contract goal, though DBE participation is encouraged. Eligible respondents include federally recognized tribal agencies, councils of governments, metropolitan planning organizations, non-profits, local governments, and transit authorities.
