About this file
This is a General Certifications form (Pro Form 026) used by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) for state and local contract opportunities. The document serves as a standardized certification template that bidders and proposers must complete in response to solicitations for goods, services, or contracts. Bidders are required to respond affirmatively or negatively to five certification categories and provide written explanations for any negative responses. The form does not specify particular products, services, quantities, response deadlines, site visits, bidder conferences, award dates, or contract terms, as it functions as a general compliance document applicable across multiple Metro procurements.
The certifications address non-discrimination in employment practices in compliance with California's Fair Employment and Housing Act; Iran investment activities for contracts valued at $1,000,000 or more under Public Contract Code Section 2203; fraudulent use of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) fronts; and whistleblower protections under California Labor Code Section 1101. Bidders must execute the form under penalty of perjury, attesting to the accuracy of their certifications. The document includes contact information for reporting suspected fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement to Metro's Small Business Diversity and Labor Compliance Office, the Metro Inspector General Office, and the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General. No pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding sources are specified in this general certification form.
