About this file
This document is a General Certifications form (PRO FORM 026) used by Metro for state and local contract opportunities, requiring bidders and proposers to certify compliance with various regulatory and ethical standards. The form requires yes or no responses to five certification categories, with detailed explanations required for any negative responses. The certifications address nondiscrimination in employment practices, Iran investment activities (applicable to contracts valued at $1,000,000 or more), prohibitions on fraudulent use of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) fronts, and whistleblower protections under California Labor Code Section 1101. Bidders must execute the certification under penalty of perjury, with authorized representatives providing their typed or printed name, signature, title, and execution date and location.
The form establishes mandatory compliance requirements for all Metro contract participants without specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding source information detailed within the document itself. The nondiscrimination certification requires adherence to the Fair Employment and Housing Act (California Government Code Section 12900) and mandates that employment solicitations explicitly state consideration of all qualified applicants regardless of protected characteristics. The document includes reporting mechanisms for fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement, directing concerns to the Metro Small Business Diversity and Labor Compliance Office, Metro Inspector General Office, or the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General, with specific contact numbers and a San Francisco field office address provided for federal reporting.
