About this file
This is a Policy Certifications document issued by Louisville Metro Government establishing compliance requirements for vendors bidding on City contracts, specifically related to the Louisville Metro Codified Ordinance (LMCO) Section 112.30, which prohibits discriminatory hiring practices against persons with prior criminal convictions. The policy requires vendors to certify that their initial employment applications do not contain questions regarding applicants' criminal history, unless exempted by state or federal law. The certification applies to all vendors seeking business with Louisville Metro Government and becomes part of the evaluation criteria for contract awards. The City retains authority to deny, rescind, revoke, terminate, or not renew contracts with vendors failing to comply with these standards.
The document outlines seven specific exceptions to the ban-the-box requirement, including positions involving cash handling exceeding $500, access to confidential information, unsupervised contact with minors or vulnerable populations, unsupervised access to residents' homes, positions required by law to verify conviction history, federal or state legal prohibitions on hiring individuals with felonies, and sole source contracts with Louisville Metro Government. Vendors must indicate which exceptions, if any, apply to their organization by checking the corresponding boxes and must have an authorized official sign and date the certification. The related contract opportunity involves the Louisville Zoo seeking bids for removal and replacement of granulated activated carbon for three Neptune Benson Filter vessels, model 60SRF-4, located in Kentucky.
