About this file
This is a Procurement Certification for Disclosure of Lobbying Activities document issued by the State of Florida Department of Transportation for use on federal-aid contracts. The certification applies to the City of Fort Myers' Electrical Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) project, a comprehensive procurement soliciting proposals from qualified contractors to fully fund, design, install, operate, maintain, market, and potentially remove charging stations on publicly owned properties. The RFP was released on July 2, 2025, with proposals due by August 5, 2025. A pre-submittal meeting is scheduled for July 11, 2025, and the City anticipates contract approval by the City Council on September 2, 2025. The contract will have an initial seven-year term with three one-year renewal options. Contractors must demonstrate at least five years of experience with turnkey EVCS installations and provide a detailed business model outlining pricing structures, billing practices, service fees, revenue distribution, and electricity cost recovery mechanisms.
The certification requires prospective participants to attest that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal agency officers, Members of Congress, or congressional staff in connection with this federal contract. Any funds paid from non-federal sources for lobbying purposes must be disclosed on Standard Form-LLL in accordance with 49 CFR Section 20.100(b) and Title 31 U.S. Code Section 1352. Contractors must include identical certification language in all subcontracts exceeding $100,000 and ensure all subrecipients certify and disclose accordingly. Failure to file required certifications subjects violators to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each violation. The procurement emphasizes compliance with federal and state requirements, including E-Verify employment verification, Build America Buy America (BABA) provisions for domestic products, and participation goals for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) and Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) under Florida's race-neutral DBE program with a 10.54% overall goal.
