The RFQ solicitation requires qualified respondents to provide the tow truck along with preventative maintenance parts and repair parts. The document does not specify response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder meetings, award dates, or contract terms within the forms package; however, it establishes that all proposers must complete and submit the required FTA forms with their signed bid or proposal documents, with failure to submit resulting in rejection of the bid.

The FTA proposer forms package includes thirteen required forms covering certification statements, amendments/riders acknowledgments, non-collusion affidavits, disclosure of interests, debarment and suspension certifications, lobbying activity disclosures, proposer responsibility determinations, financial disclosures, drug and alcohol policy compliance certifications, and notarized verification documents. Proposers must certify compliance with affirmative action requirements, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) requirements, and provide detailed financial statements, performance bond information, and subcontract details. The forms require disclosure of all ownership interests, immediate family members employed by the City, criminal history, debarment status, and any conflicts of interest. All certifications and affidavits must be signed by authorized representatives and notarized where specified, with false statements subject to civil penalties of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 per violation.

DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION

POLICY

Unless otherwise permitted by law, any person that is debarred, suspended, or voluntarily excluded may not take part in any covered transaction, either as a participant or a principal, during the period of debarment, suspension, or voluntary exclusion. Accordingly, DDOT as an FTA recipient, may not enter into any transaction with such debarred, suspended, or voluntarily excluded persons during such period.

A certification process has been established by 49 C.F.R Part 29, as a means to ensure that debarred, suspended or voluntarily excluded persons do not participate in a federally assisted project. The inability of a person to provide the required certification will not necessarily result in denial of participation in a covered transaction. A person that is unable to provide a positive certification as set forth in FTA Circular

4220.1G must submit a complete explanation attached to the certification. FTA will consider the certification and any accompanying explanation in determining whether or not to provide assistance for the project. Failure to furnish a certification or an explanation may disqualify that person from participating in the project. In addition, each potential contractor for a major third party contract must provide to DDOT, a certification for a primary participant. Each potential third party contractor and subcontractor under a major third party contract must provide to DDOT a certification for lower-tier participant. In general, lower level employees or procurements of less than $25,000 will not be covered by the certification procedures, except in the case of procurements with individuals that would have a critical influence on or substantive control over the project; nevertheless a participant is not authorized involve a lower employee or enter into a contract of less than $25,000 with a person actually known by the participant to be debarred, suspended or voluntarily excluded.

SUSPENSION, AND OTHER RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS
