Summary: Non-Discrimination Memorandum Appendix A

This file is a non-discrimination policy memorandum from the Berlin Board of Education in Connecticut, which serves as a required compliance document for the Request for Student Transportation Services. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, the Berlin Board of Education mandates that all bidders complete and submit the Statement of Policy form with their proposal to confirm compliance with federal and state non-discrimination statutes and executive orders. The completed statement must be signed by a company officer and include the bidder's name, title, telephone number, and street address with city and state. Bidders are required to represent that their firm maintains an employment policy prohibiting discrimination based on grounds specified under federal Connecticut law and that they maintain full compliance with the Berlin Board of Education's non-discrimination policy, equal employment opportunity regulations, and applicable civil rights statutes.

The contractor's obligation to maintain compliance with this non-discrimination policy continues throughout the entire term of the contract if awarded. This requirement represents a mandatory prerequisite for bid consideration and reflects the district's commitment to ensuring that all transportation services are provided by vendors who actively comply with applicable civil rights and employment equity standards.
