15-TVM Certification.pdf

This is a Transit Vehicle Manufacturer (TVM) Certification form required by the City of Arlington, Texas for the Purchase Replacement Vehicles for Handitran solicitation. The certification document establishes eligibility requirements for proposers bidding on the procurement of up to four (4) transit vehicles and a portable electric vehicle (EV) charging solution. Proposers must certify either that they are listed on the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Eligible TVM List at the time of bid submission or that they are not currently listed but have submitted required Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program information to the FTA in accordance with 49 CFR Part 26. The City of Arlington strongly encourages electronic submission of responses through the Euna Procurement system and requires sealed paper proposals, if submitted, to be delivered to the Office of the Procurement Manager at 101 S. Mesquite, Suite 800, Arlington, Texas 76010.

Failure to be listed on the FTA Eligible TVM List or failure to submit required DBE information to the FTA may result in a proposal being deemed non-responsive and therefore ineligible for award. The certification requires completion of proposer name, authorized representative information, title, signature, and date. The City of Arlington exclusively uses Euna Procurement for solicitation notification and dissemination, and receipt of solicitations through alternative means may result in incomplete specifications or addendums, potentially rendering bids non-compliant. Late proposals will not be accepted.
