Days from the date of the City’s request, the City may proceed to award the Contract to the responsible Bidder who submitted the next lowest responsive Bid and proposes to use acceptable persons or entities.

Supplier Regarding Debarment and Suspension), within 10 Working Days after the Bid opening date.

C. The inability of Bidder or its Subcontractors, Lower-Tier Subcontractors, or Suppliers to provide the above certifications will not necessarily result in denial of award of the Contract. In the event that

Bidder or its Subcontractor, Lower-Tier Subcontractor, or Supplier is unable to provide such certification because it currently violates or has previously violated conditions of the certification, a description of each instance of violation and explanation shall be attached to its certification. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the City’s determination whether to award the Contract. However, failure of Bidder or its Subcontractors, Lower-Tier Subcontractors, or

Suppliers to furnish a certification or an explanation may disqualify such Bidder from eligibility for award of the Contract.

D. Bidder agrees by submitting its Bid that, should the Contract be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this Contract, unless authorized by the City.

E. The terms “covered transaction,” “debarment,” “suspension,” “ineligible,” “participant,” “person,”

“principal,” “voluntary exclusion,” and “SAM Exclusions,” as used in this Article shall have the meanings set forth in the “Definitions” and “Coverage” sections of 2 CFR § 180 et seq., as amended from time to time.

Instructions to Bidders

F. If a participant enters into a covered transaction with another person at the next lower tier, the participant must verify that the person with whom it intends to do business is not excluded or disqualified. The participant may do this by: (i) collecting a certification from that person; or (ii) adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person; or, if Federal funding is involved in the Project, (iii) checking the System for Award Management (“SAM”) Exclusions list.

The participant may rely upon a certification of a Lower-Tier Subcontractor, or Supplier in a covered transaction that it is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the SAM Exclusions list, compiled by the General Services Administration, which may be accessed at https://www.sam.gov.

G. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this Article. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

H. Except for transactions authorized under Paragraph 1.12 C, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this Contract, in addition to other remedies available, the

City or other government agency may terminate this Contract for cause or default.
