2-Attachment 6 ADOT LOBBYING CERTIFICATE.pdf

This is a Lobbying Certificate document from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) required for the Speed Feedback Signs procurement in El Mirage. The certificate serves as a certification statement wherein the bidder or contractor affirms compliance with federal lobbying restrictions and disclosure requirements. The document requires the signatory to certify that neither the organization nor any of its principals have engaged in lobbying activities using federal funds, or if such activities have occurred, that proper disclosures have been made in accordance with applicable federal regulations. The certificate must be completed and submitted as part of the bid package to demonstrate the contractor's understanding of and commitment to federal lobbying compliance requirements.

This lobbying certification is a standard federal requirement for contracts involving federal funding or federal participation. The certificate typically requires an authorized representative to sign and date the document, attesting to the accuracy of the certification statements. Failure to provide this certification or submission of a false certification can result in contract termination, debarment, and other penalties. The specific language and requirements contained in the certificate align with federal acquisition regulations and may reference OMB circulars or other federal guidance on lobbying restrictions and disclosures.
