About this file
This is a Certification Regarding Lobbying form (Appendix A, 44 C.F.R. Part 18) required for the City of Sarasota's Advanced Traffic Management System Design Continuing Services contract, a federally funded FEMA project procured under Florida's Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act. The certification applies to all contractors, subcontractors, and subrecipients involved in this federal contract opportunity. Contractors must certify that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence officers or employees of any federal agency, Members of Congress, or Congressional staff in connection with the awarding, extending, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of this federal contract. The proposal submission deadline is March 24, 2026, at 2:30 p.m., with proposals limited to 150 single-sided pages in PDF format submitted through the City's online solicitation system. The contract establishes a default one-year term with two optional one-year renewal periods for a total potential duration of three years.
The certification form mandates that contractors complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying," if any non-federal funds are used for lobbying activities related to this contract. All subrecipients must include identical certification language in their award documents and certify and disclose accordingly. False certification carries civil penalties of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each failure, and violations fall under 31 U.S.C. Chapter 38 regarding administrative remedies for false claims and statements. The City intends to make multiple awards to establish a library of qualified engineering firms, with construction costs restricted to projects not exceeding $7,500,000 and planning activities capped at $500,000. The project is federally funded through FEMA and requires compliance with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage provisions, equal employment opportunity standards, and debarment and suspension certifications. Professional liability insurance of no less than one million dollars is required, and selected consultants must perform at least 51 percent of total contract work with their own organization.
