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 its Bus Shelters and Amenities procurement. The certification must be completed and submitted by bidders as a prerequisite for contract award. The solicitation encompasses seven line items for bus stop amenities including bicycle racks, trash receptacles, benches, and two types of shelters (Type II and Type III), with estimated annual purchases ranging from one to ten units. Bidders must provide unit pricing for both 1-5 and 6-10 piece volume tiers. The bid response deadline is February 18, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with a question submission deadline of January 27, 2026. All deliveries must occur within 8-12 weeks of purchase orders, and the contract term extends from execution through September 30, 2028, with an optional one-year extension. Pricing must remain firm throughout the entire contract period.
The project is federally funded through the Federal Transit Administration with a purchase value exceeding $150,000, triggering mandatory federal compliance requirements including Buy America standards, ADA accessibility, and FDOT design specifications. Bidders must demonstrate financial stability with annual gross receipts disclosed in specified ranges. The procurement includes a 6.75% overall Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) set-aside goal, with eligible bidders required to be currently listed in the Florida Unified Certification Program DBE Directory. Contractors must complete multiple certifications addressing debarment status, drug-free workplace compliance, federal tax liability, and lobbying restrictions, and must guarantee replacement parts availability for at least ten years post-delivery. The form presented is the mandatory lobbying certification requiring declaration that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal contract awards, with civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for non-compliance.
