About this file
This is a Procurement Certification for Disclosure of Lobbying Activities form issued by the State of Florida Department of Transportation for federal-aid contracts, required in compliance with 49 CFR Section 20.100(b). The certification applies to the City of Fort Myers' Lake Management Services procurement (ITB 25-090), which seeks a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive lake and pond maintenance services across 16 city locations, including aquatic weed control, buffer management, algae control, shoreline maintenance, visual inspections, and quarterly aeration system and fountain maintenance. The solicitation requires a licensed pesticide applicator with certified applicators utilizing EPA-registered products and maintaining NPDES compliance. Key milestone dates include a pre-submittal meeting on September 16, 2025, a question submission deadline of October 1, 2025, and a proposal submission deadline of October 10, 2025, with City Council approval anticipated for November 3, 2025. The contract encompasses a five-year initial term with month-to-month extension options.
The certification requires that prospective participants certify they have not paid and will not pay federal appropriated funds to influence federal agency officers, Members of Congress, or congressional employees in connection with this federal contract. Any lobbying activities funded through non-federal sources must be disclosed on Standard Form-LLL in accordance with Section 1352, Title 31, U.S. Code. Failure to file required certifications subjects participants to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 per violation. Bidders must include identical certification language in all subcontracts exceeding $100,000 and require subrecipient compliance. The City established a 10.54% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal operating under a race-neutral program, and all bidders must demonstrate compliance with federal Build America, Buy America provisions requiring use of domestically produced materials, as well as state requirements including E-Verify, public records laws, and background screening.
