This is a Certification Regarding Lobbying form required under 44 C.F.R. Part 18, applicable to the City of Port Orange's Mitigation Reconstruction of a Flood Prone Home Project in Florida. The certification applies to all bids or offers exceeding $100,000 and must be completed and submitted with the bid package. The form requires the contractor's authorized official to certify that no federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to influence any federal, congressional, or agency officials in connection with the award of this federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement.
The certification mandates that contractors disclose any non-federal funds used for lobbying purposes by submitting Standard Form-LLL and require all subcontractors and subrecipients to include identical certification language in their award documents and certify accordingly. Failure to file the required certification subjects the contractor to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each failure, and submission of this certification is a prerequisite for contract execution. The form must be signed by the contractor's authorized official and constitutes a material representation of fact subject to the provisions of 31 U.S.C.
