About this file
This document is a General Certifications form (PRO FORM 026) issued by Metro for use in state and local contract opportunities. The form requires bidders and proposers to certify compliance with nondiscrimination employment practices, including adherence to the Fair Employment and Housing Act under California Government Code Section 12900. Bidders must confirm they do not unlawfully discriminate based on race, sex, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, marital status, age over 40, or disability, and agree to actively pursue equal opportunity employment principles. The form also addresses Iran investment activities for contracts valued at $1,000,000 or more, requiring certification that the bidder is not identified on lists related to investment activities in Iran under the Public Contract Code.
Additional certifications required include confirmation that bidders have not used Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) fronts or pass-through subcontracts to non-disadvantaged firms to meet contract DBE goals, as such practices may constitute criminal violations. Bidders must also certify compliance with California Labor Code Section 1101 regarding whistleblower protections and commit to taking no action or adopting policies contrary to these provisions. The form requires bidders to respond "Yes" or "No" to each certification item, with full written explanations required for all "No" responses. Execution requires the signature of an authorized official with attestation under penalty of perjury under California law, including date, city, and state of execution.
