About this file
This is a Certification Regarding Lobbying Form submitted to Letcher County Fiscal Court, Kentucky, in connection with a hazardous materials inspection services contract. The form certifies compliance with federal lobbying restrictions and disclosure requirements applicable to contracts receiving federal funding. The certification applies to the bidder's proposal for conducting Hazardous Material Surveys on up to 150 residential properties acquired through the county's voluntary property buyout grant program. The form requires the certifying official to attest that no federal appropriated funds have been used to pay any person or organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of Congress or a federal agency in connection with the contract award. The certification must be signed by an authorized representative of the bidding entity and submitted as part of the bid package.
The form serves as a mandatory federal compliance document requiring the bidder to disclose any lobbying activities and certify adherence to restrictions imposed under the federal Byrd Amendment and related regulations. The certifying official must declare whether the bidder has engaged in any lobbying activities using non-federal funds and, if applicable, provide detailed disclosures on such activities. Failure to complete and submit the certification accurately may result in contract ineligibility or termination. This document is standard for federal pass-through funding mechanisms and ensures that federal resources allocated to the county's property buyout program are not used for improper lobbying purposes.
