9-APPENDIX B.pdf

This document is Appendix B, a Certifications form for a request for qualifications (RFQ) from the County of Bergen. The form requires a potential respondent to certify four key points: (1) the firm's participation will not create any conflict of interest, (2) the firm is an equal opportunity employer that does not discriminate, (3) the firm is not currently in violation of any state or federal laws, and (4) the firm understands it will not be eligible to serve as a financial advisor to the County of Bergen if it has a financial interest in firms providing financial advisory services to the county.

The certification form is designed to ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and compliance from potential vendors or consultants seeking to do business with Bergen County. It includes blank fields for the responding firm to complete, including spaces for the firm name, authorized representative's signature, name, title, and date of submission. The document serves as a formal attestation of the firm's professional standards and legal compliance, which are typically required as part of a comprehensive bid or proposal process.
