About this file
This is a Procurement Certification for Disclosure of Lobbying Activities form from the State of Florida Department of Transportation, applicable to federal-aid contracts under 49 CFR Section 20.100(b). The certification is a mandatory compliance requirement for the City of Fort Myers' Request for Statement of Qualifications (RSQ 25-069) for architectural services through a continuing contract under Florida's Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act. Prospective architectural firms must submit this certification by the proposal deadline of November 4, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The three-year continuing contract includes two potential one-year renewal options, with architectural services to be provided on an as-needed basis for various city projects. The evaluation will be conducted by a selection committee utilizing a comprehensive scoring process that may include initial qualifications review, presentations, and interviews, with firms evaluated on consultant approach (45 points), experience and qualifications (55 points), Minority Business Enterprise participation (13 points), and local vendor preference (5 points).
The certification requires prospective participants to declare that no federal appropriated funds will be paid to influence federal agency officers, members of Congress, or congressional employees in connection with contract awards, grants, loans, or cooperative agreements. If non-federal funds have been or will be used for lobbying activities, firms must complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities. This certification must be included in all subcontracts exceeding $100,000, with subrecipients required to certify and disclose accordingly. Failure to submit the required certification subjects the participant to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each violation. The form requires authorized signature, title, date, and consultant name prior to submission.
