Certificate_of_Tax_Employment_Child_Care.pdf

This is a Certificate of Tax Employment related to Child Care filed with the City of Boston in connection with the Street Furniture Program contract opportunity. The certificate documents tax employment status and child care-related compliance requirements for entities bidding on or working with the City of Boston. The document serves as a supporting exhibit to verify that bidders meet Massachusetts employment and child care tax compliance standards, which may be a prerequisite for contract eligibility or performance under the Street Furniture Program. Response requirements and submission deadlines align with the primary Street Furniture Program solicitation, with proposals due November 4, 2026, and a pre-proposal Q&A conference call scheduled for September 23, 2026.

The certificate requirement reflects the City's emphasis on responsible contractor practices and compliance with state tax and employment regulations. This supporting documentation may be part of the City's broader set-aside objectives to encourage participation from small, local, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses (SMWVBE), as these entities must demonstrate compliance across multiple regulatory areas. Bidders are required to submit the certificate as part of their qualification package, and failure to provide accurate documentation may result in bid rejection or contract termination. The ten-year contract term and significant capital investment requirements make contractor financial stability and employment law compliance critical evaluation factors.
