About this file

This is a Section 504 Compliance Assurance document issued by the County of San Mateo Contract Compliance Committee on August 5, 2013, applicable to contractors seeking contracts with San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC), a public hospital and clinic system serving San Mateo County. The document requires all contractors to certify their compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and all applicable Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) regulations. Contractors must acknowledge that contracts will be awarded in reliance on the representations and agreements made in the assurance, and that the assurance is binding on the contractor, its successors, transferees, and assignees.

The assurance document includes two compliance pathways based on contractor size: contractors employing fewer than 15 persons are subject to a limited compliance requirement with an exception allowing referral to accessible providers when facility alterations would be significant, while contractors employing 15 or more persons must designate a Section 504 coordinator responsible for compliance efforts. All contractors must complete and sign the assurance form, providing the name of their designated 504 coordinator (if applicable), official title, business address, and certification date. The document serves as a prerequisite condition for contract award and remains in force throughout the contract term and any renewal periods.
