About this file
This Certification and Restrictions on Lobbying document pertains to the City of Gainesville's Regional Transit System (RTS) solar canopy project for an employee parking lot in Florida. The certification form requires the bidder's authorized official to confirm that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal decision-makers in connection with this $4.3 million contract opportunity. The RFP was released on October 20, 2025, with proposal submissions due by December 2, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with potential oral presentations scheduled for December 16, 2025. The project involves designing and constructing a 1,058 kW DC photovoltaic panel system covering approximately 470 parking spaces across 207,000 square feet, with a Permission to Operate deadline of January 30, 2027.
The certification establishes that if any non-federal funds are used for lobbying purposes, the bidder must complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions. The document mandates that all subawards and subrecipients must include identical certification language and comply with disclosure requirements. Failure to submit the required certification subjects violators to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each failure, as established under 31 U.S.C. Section 1352. This certification is a material representation of fact and a prerequisite for contract execution. The total project budget is capped at $4,490,000, with $4,265,000 allocated for purchase, installation, and first-year maintenance, and $225,000 for workforce training, with DBE participation requirements and compliance with Federal Transit Administration regulations, Buy America provisions, and Davis-Bacon wage standards.
