8-Debarment and Suspension Certificate.pdf

This is a Debarment and Suspension Certificate required for bidders participating in a Grand Rapids Public Schools (GRPS) building envelope and roof consulting services contract opportunity in Michigan. The certificate serves as a mandatory certification document in which bidders attest, under penalty of perjury, that they and any associated personnel—including owners, partners, directors, officers, and managers—are not currently suspended, debarred, voluntarily excluded, or determined ineligible by any Federal agency. Bidders must also confirm that they have not been subject to such actions within the past three years, do not have a proposed debarment pending, and are not currently indicted for or criminally or civilly charged by any governmental entity involving fraud or official misconduct within the past three years. The GRPS project seeks professional roof consulting expertise for the Nutrition Services Facility through a Qualifications-Based Selection process, with the selected consultant responsible for providing full-service roof consulting including existing conditions assessment, design and specifications development, bidding and procurement support, and construction administration and observations.

Bidders must note any exceptions to the certification in the designated space on the document, though exceptions will not necessarily result in denial of the award but will be considered in determining bidder responsibility. The certification must be signed as part of the bid submission, with the signature on the certification document constituting formal signature of the entire certification. Bidders are warned that providing false information may result in criminal prosecution or administrative sanctions. This certification document is a standard compliance requirement for the solicitation and forms part of the contractual documents that will govern the selected consultant's work on the GRPS Nutrition Services Facility project.
