This is an Anti-Lobbying Form for the State of Arkansas, specifically related to Invitation to Bid (ITB) 237352 for Job 061776, the Little Rock Kanis Park Loop (TAP-22) project at Kanis Park. The form serves as a certification document required from bidders participating in this state-funded transportation project. Bidders and their authorized representatives must complete this anti-lobbying certification to verify compliance with federal prohibitions on the use of appropriated funds for lobbying activities. The form is a mandatory component of the bid submission process and ensures that all parties understand and will adhere to restrictions on lobbying efforts related to the project.

The anti-lobbying form represents a federal compliance requirement typically associated with projects receiving federal transportation funding, such as those under the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). Completion and submission of this certification is a prerequisite for bid consideration, and false certification can result in substantial penalties and contract termination. All bidders must acknowledge their understanding of federal lobbying prohibitions and certify that neither they nor their employees will use project funds or resources for lobbying activities directed at federal, state, or local officials regarding the contract or related matters.
