About this file
This is a Wage Theft Prevention certification form (CM-16) established by the City of Boston for vendors bidding on city contracts, specifically applicable to the Boston Public Schools Language Proficiency Testing procurement opportunity. The form requires all prospective vendors to certify their compliance with wage theft prevention requirements under an Executive Order designed to protect workers. Vendors must complete this certification annually for multi-year contracts and submit it with their bid or proposal; failure to provide the completed form will result in bid rejection. The form mandates that all awarded vendors post Massachusetts Wage and Hour Laws notices in conspicuous workplace locations to inform employees of protections under Massachusetts General Laws chapters 149 and 151, as well as the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The certification requires vendors to declare one of two compliance statuses: either that neither the firm nor any subcontractor has been subject to federal or state criminal or civil judgment, administrative citation, final administrative determination, order, or debarment resulting from wage and hour law violations within three years prior to bid submission, or alternatively, that such violations have occurred and documentation is included with the bid. All vendors must additionally certify that they will report any wage and hour violations that occur while a bid is pending or during contract performance within five days of receiving notice. Vendors with disclosed violations must submit monthly certified payrolls for all employees working on the contract and may be required to obtain a wage bond or suitable insurance equal to one year's gross wages. The City of Boston reserves the right to terminate contracts upon finding or order of debarment or prohibition from contracting with the Commonwealth.
