ATTACHMENT D

DEBARMENT AND ANTI-LOBBYING

CERTIFICATION

certifies that to the best of their knowledge/belief that neither as an individual and/or the company and its principals are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded for the award of contracts by any Federal governmental agency or department.

“Principals”, for the purposes of this certification, means officers; directors; owners; partners; and persons having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g. general manager, plant manager, head of subsidiary, division, or business segment, and similar positions).

shall provide immediate written notice to Northshore School District if at any time during the term of this Agreement, including any renewals hereof, if such certification was erroneous when made or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. Based on such notification, or if Northshore School District should determine at any time that this certification is false, Northshore School District reserves the right to review the status of the organization and if necessary, terminate this agreement.

Should individual/company enter into a covered transaction with another person at the next lower tier, we agree by signing this agreement that we will verify that the person with whom we intend to do business is not excluded or disqualified. We will do this by:

(a) Checking the federal Excluded Parties List System (EPLS); or

(b) Collecting a certification from that person if allowed by this rule; or

(c) Adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person.

Individual and/or company agree by signing this agreement that it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency with which this transaction originated. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous.

The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
