This is an Affirmative Action Certification form issued by the Kenton County Airport Board for the 2026 Fall Protection Systems Installation project at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. The form requires bidding contractors to certify whether they have previously participated in contracts subject to the Equal Opportunity Clause under Executive Order 10925, 11246, or 11114, and whether they have submitted all required compliance reports in connection with such contracts. Bidders must strike out the inappropriate responses and provide their certification prior to contract award. If a bidder has participated in a previous contract subject to the Equal Opportunity Clause but failed to submit required compliance reports, the bidder must submit a Standard Form 100 "Employee Information Report" before contract award. The certification must be signed by an authorized representative of the bidding contractor, include the contractor's name and title, and be dated.

This certification is a mandatory compliance document as part of the broader 2026 Fall Protection Systems Installation procurement, which encompasses three bid packages with a total estimated installation cost of $2,447,000 financed through local funds. All bidders must complete and submit the Affirmative Action Certification along with other required documentation including non-debarment status evidence, EEO certifications, nonsegregated facilities certifications, tax delinquency and felony conviction certifications, and disclosure of lobbying activities certifications. Selected bidders must provide a 5 percent proposal bond and, upon award, furnish 100 percent performance and payment bonds from a surety rated at least "A" by Best Insurance Reports and authorized in Kentucky, with insurance requirements including $10,000,000 commercial general liability and automobile liability coverage.
