EEO_Certification.docx

This is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Certification document required by the Kenton County Airport Board for the Backup Airport Operations Center (AOC) Construction project at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. The certification requires bidders to affirm their commitment to non-discriminatory employment practices in compliance with all anti-discrimination laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky, treating all employees equally regardless of race, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, handicap, or sex. Bidders must respond affirmatively or negatively to four certification questions: whether they maintain a written policy statement prohibiting employment discrimination, whether they periodically conduct self-analysis or workforce utilization analyses, whether they have systems in place to determine if employment practices are discriminatory against protected groups, and whether they have established corrective action systems including goals and timetables when problem areas are identified. The document requires the bidding contractor to sign and date the certification, providing their name, title, business address, and IRS Employer ID number.

This certification document is a standard compliance requirement for federal and state-funded construction projects and must be submitted as part of the sealed bid package. The EEO certification affirms contractor commitment to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related civil rights provisions that apply to this airport construction procurement. Failure to complete this certification or provide false certifications may result in bid rejection or contract termination. Bidders should ensure all required certifications are completed accurately and signed by an authorized representative before submission by the March 19, 2026 bid deadline.
