EXHIBIT 9 - GENERAL CERTIFICATIONS
This document is a General Certifications Pro Form 026 issued by Metro for use in responding to invitations for bid (IFB) or requests for proposal (RFP). The form requires bidders and proposers to certify compliance with nondiscrimination requirements, Iran investment restrictions, disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) regulations, and whistleblower protections. Bidders must respond either "Yes" or "No" to each certification item, with full explanations required for any negative responses. The form includes a certification that bidders do not unlawfully discriminate in employment based on race, sex, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, marital status, age over 40, or disability, and that they comply with the Fair Employment and Housing Act and applicable federal, state, and local directives. Additionally, for contracts valued at $1,000,000 or more, bidders must certify they are not identified as persons engaging in investment activities in Iran as defined in the Public Contract Code.
The form further requires bidders to certify that they have not knowingly and willfully used fraudulent disadvantaged business enterprise fronts to meet DBE goals and that they will not take any action contrary to California Labor Code Section 1101 regarding whistleblower protections. Bidders must execute the certification under penalty of perjury, providing their signature, printed name, title, and the date, city, and state where the certification is executed. The document references Metro's Contract Compliance Manual and provides contact information for reporting fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement to the Metro Small Business Diversity and Labor Compliance Office, Metro Inspector General Office, and the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General.
