About this file

The document is a Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment Certification related to a Sacramento County contract opportunity for temporary outdoor shelters. The County seeks to partner with manufacturers and contractors to provide approximately 200 to 400 temporary sleeping units (such as Tiny Houses) for Safe Stay Communities, with shelter community sizes ranging from 40 to 100 units. These shelters will be delivered and assembled within unincorporated areas of Sacramento County on an as-needed basis, with no guaranteed minimum order.

The certification document outlines strict federal requirements for contractors, specifically prohibiting the use of federal appropriated funds to influence government officials during the contract process. Contractors must certify that no federal funds have been or will be used for lobbying purposes, and they must disclose any non-federal funds used for such activities. Failure to comply with these certification requirements can result in civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each violation. The document emphasizes transparency and legal compliance in the procurement process for these temporary shelter units.
