Background_Investigation_Certification_-_Paratransit_Eligibility_and_Travel_Training.docx

This is a Background Investigation Certification form used by the Regional Transportation District (RTD) in Denver, Colorado for contractors performing work on the Paratransit Eligibility Determinations & Travel Training contract. The document serves as official certification that individuals assigned to perform contract work have successfully completed criminal background checks as required by the contract terms. The form requires completion and signature by an authorized contractor representative, listing the names and positions of cleared personnel along with their background check passage dates, and must include the contractor's name and RTD contract number for record-keeping and compliance purposes.

The certification form is a mandatory compliance document that contractors must submit prior to commencing work. All staff members performing services under the contract, including the Project Manager and Operations Manager, must pass criminal background investigations covering the previous seven years, with disqualifying offenses including crimes against children or vulnerable adults. The form establishes an audit trail demonstrating that RTD has verified the suitability of contractor personnel before they gain access to facilities and interact with vulnerable populations seeking paratransit eligibility determinations and travel training services.
