About this file
Summary
This is a Payment Certification form for continuous contracts issued by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA). The document serves as a certification mechanism for contractors to attest that services performed under the contract comply with contractual terms and conditions. The certification requires the contractor to confirm that all work completed to date is in accordance with contract documents, that all subcontractors and suppliers have been paid their proportionate share of previous LACMTA payments, and that no amounts are being withheld or retained from subcontractors or suppliers without contractual justification. The certifying official must also verify that the contractor and its principals meet federal and state eligibility requirements, including attestations regarding debarment status, prior termination history, and absence of criminal convictions or charges related to fraud, antitrust violations, or other specified offenses within the past three years.
The certification explicitly references compliance with both the Federal False Claims Act and California False Claims Act, establishing that knowingly submitting false claims for payment constitutes a violation subject to penalties in addition to other criminal and civil remedies available to LACMTA. The form requires execution under penalty of perjury under California law and must be signed by an authorized certifying official with identification of firm name, official title, and date of execution. The document clarifies that the payment certification does not constitute final acceptance of contractor, subcontractor, or supplier performance and is issued on a continuous basis as payments are requested throughout the contract term.

EXHIBIT E-1 - PAYMENT CERTIFICATION (CONTINUOUS)
A. I hereby certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that:
1. This Payment Certification represents a true and correct statement of the Services performed;
2. The Services completed to date under this Contract are in full accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents;
3. All Subcontractors and/or Suppliers who have performed Services on the project through the closing date of the prior Payment Request have been paid their proportionate share of all previous payments from LACMTA;
4. This Payment Certification does not include any amounts which the Contractor intends to withhold or retain from a Subcontractor or Supplier in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subcontract; and
5. The Contractor and its principals, (i) are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded by any governmental department or agency (federal, state, or local); (ii) have not in the past three years had one or more public transactions (federal, state, or local) terminated for cause or default; (iii) have not within the past three years been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (federal, state, local) transaction or contract under a public transaction, violation of federal or state antitrust statutes or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, or receiving stolen property; and (iv) are not presently indicted for or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity (federal, state, local) with commission of any of the offenses listed in Section (A)(5)(iii) above.
B. This Payment Certification is not to be construed as final Acceptance of the Contractor's, and any Subcontractor's or Supplier's performance.
C. I understand that it is a violation of both the federal and California False Claims Acts to knowingly present or cause to be presented to LACMTA a false claim for payment or approval. A claim includes a demand or request for money. It is also a violation of the False Claims Acts to knowingly make use of a false Record or statement to get a false claim paid. The term "knowingly" includes either actual knowledge of the information, deliberate ignorance of the truth or falsity of the information, or reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of the information. Proof of specific intent to defraud is not necessary under the False Claims Acts. I understand that the penalties under the Federal False Claims Act and State of California False Claims Act are non-exclusive, and are in addition to any other criminal and/or civil remedies which LACMTA may have either under contract or law.
I certify under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the State of California, that the foregoing is true and correct
