About this file
This is a Certification Regarding Debarment document applicable to the City of Gainesville's Regional Transit System (RTS) bus shelters and amenities procurement, which is federally funded through the Federal Transit Administration. The certification requirement applies to all contracts valued at $25,000 or more, federally required audits regardless of contract amount, and contracts requiring FTA official approval. The RTS solicitation encompasses seven line items including bicycle racks, trash receptacles, benches, and two shelter types (Type II and Type III), with unit pricing required for volumes of 1-5 and 6-10 pieces and estimated annual purchases ranging from one to ten shelters. 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 extension. All deliveries must occur within 8-12 weeks of purchase orders, and contractors must guarantee replacement parts availability for at least ten years post-delivery.
By submitting a bid or proposal, contractors must certify that their principals, affiliates, and subcontractors are not debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, voluntarily excluded, or disqualified from participation in any federally assisted award. Contractors must comply with 2 C.F.R. parts 180 and 1200 and include similar compliance provisions in lower-tier subcontracts. The procurement targets disadvantaged businesses with a 6.75% overall Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) agency goal, requiring bidders to be currently listed in the Florida Unified Certification Program DBE Directory to claim DBE status. The solicitation requires extensive federal compliance certifications addressing debarment status, drug-free workplace compliance, federal tax liability, and lobbying restrictions. Bidders must demonstrate financial stability with annual gross receipts categorized in ranges from less than $500,000 to more than $5 million, and all pricing must remain firm throughout the contract period. The project is federally funded with a purchase value exceeding $150,000, triggering mandatory federal compliance mechanisms including Buy America requirements, ADA standards, and FDOT design specifications.
