Byrd_Anti-LobbyingCertification.pdf

The document is a Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment Certification form designed for federal contract submissions exceeding $100,000, specifically related to the City of Fort Myers' brick paver maintenance and new installation project. The certification requires the undersigned to affirm that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence or attempt to influence any federal official or employee in connection with the awarding of a federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement.

The certification mandates disclosure of any non-federal funds used or planned for lobbying activities related to the application, award, or contract. Failure to comply with this certification can result in civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each violation. The document provides two checkbox options: confirming no non-federal funds have been or will be used for lobbying, or attaching a Standard Form LLL describing the use of non-federal funds for lobbying activities. The form is intended to be executed in 2021 and requires the signature of an authorized organizational representative.
