About this file
This is a Certification and Restrictions on Lobbying form required by the City of Gainesville's Regional Transit System (RTS) in Florida for the Bus Shelters and Amenities procurement. The document serves as a mandatory certification that bidders must complete and submit as a prerequisite to contract award. Bidders must certify that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal officials, Members of Congress, or congressional staff in connection with this federal contract. The procurement encompasses seven line items including bicycle racks, trash receptacles, benches, and two types of bus shelters (Type II and Type III) for installation at local bus stops. The bid response deadline is February 18, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with a question submission deadline of January 27, 2026. The contract term extends from execution through September 30, 2028, with an optional one-year renewal. All deliveries must occur within 8-12 weeks of purchase orders, and bidders must guarantee replacement parts availability for at least ten years post-delivery.
The project is federally funded through the Federal Transit Administration with a purchase value exceeding $150,000, triggering mandatory federal compliance mechanisms. Bidders must provide unit pricing for 1-5 and 6-10 piece volumes, with estimated annual purchases ranging from one to ten shelters and flexible procurement volumes between 5-100 units depending on amenity type. The solicitation includes a 6.75% overall Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) agency goal, with bidders required to be currently listed in the Florida Unified Certification Program DBE Directory to claim DBE status. Contractors must comply with numerous federal and state regulations including Buy America requirements, ADA standards, and FDOT design specifications. All pricing must remain firm throughout the contract period. Bidders must demonstrate financial stability categorized in ranges from less than $500,000 to more than $5 million in annual gross receipts and complete multiple certifications addressing debarment status, drug-free workplace compliance, federal tax liability, and lobbying restrictions, with civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for failure to file required certifications.
