PROPOSER INFORMATION AND CERTIFICATION SHEET

Legal Name of Proposer:

Oregon Business Registry Number (if required):

As the authorized representative named below, I certify on behalf of Proposer that:

Proposer understands and accepts the requirements of this RFP. By submitting a Proposal, Proposer agrees to be bound by the Price Agreement terms and conditions in Attachment A and as modified by any Addenda, except for those terms and conditions that Agency has reserved for negotiation, as identified in the RFP.

Proposer acknowledges receipt of any and all Addenda to this RFP.

Proposal is a Firm Offer for 90 days following the Bid Opening Date identified in OregonBuys.

If awarded a Price Agreement, Proposer agrees to perform the scope of work and meet the performance standards set forth in the final negotiated scope of work of the Price Agreement.

I have knowledge regarding Proposer’s payment of taxes and by checking the “APPROVED” checkbox and entering my name below I hereby certify that, to the best of my knowledge, Proposer is not in violation of any tax laws of the state or a political subdivision of the state, including, without limitation, ORS 305.380(4), ORS 305.620 and ORS chapters 316, 317 and 318.

Proposer has no undisclosed liquidated and delinquent debts owed to the State of Oregon or any of its agencies, boards, commissions, departments, or divisions.

Proposer does not discriminate in its employment practices with regard to race, creed, age, religious affiliation, gender, disability, sexual orientation, national origin. When awarding subcontracts, Proposer does not discriminate against any business certified under ORS 200.055 as a disadvantaged business enterprise, a minority-owned business, a woman-owned business, a business that a service-disabled veteran owns or an emerging small business. If applicable, Proposer has, or will have prior to contract execution, a written policy and practice, that meets the requirements described in ORS 279A.112 (formerly HB 3060), of preventing sexual harassment, sexual assault and discrimination against employees who are members of a protected class. (Agency may not enter into a contract with an anticipated contract price of $150,000 or more with a Proposer that does not certify it has such a policy and practice. See https://www.oregon.gov/DAS/Procurement/Pages/hb3060.aspx for additional information and sample policy template.)

Proposer complies with ORS 652.220 and does not unlawfully discriminate against any of Proposer’s employees in the payment of wages or other compensation for work of comparable character on the basis of an employee’s membership in a protected class. “Protected class” means a group of persons distinguished by race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, veteran status, disability or age.

Contractor’s continuing compliance constitutes a material element of the Price Agreement and a failure to comply constitutes a breach that entitles Agency to terminate the Price Agreement for cause.

Contractor may not prohibit any of Contractor’s employees from discussing the employee’s rate of wage, salary, benefits, or other compensation with another employee or another person. Contractor may not retaliate against an employee who discusses the employee’s rate of wage, salary, benefits, or other compensation with another employee or another person.

Proposer and Proposer’s employees, agents, and subcontractors are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment under ORS 279B.130, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any federal agency or agency of the State of Oregon and are not included on:
