FORM H - BIDDER-PROPOSER NOTARIZED CERTIFICATION OF GOOD FAITH EFFORTS.pdf

This is a notarized certification form required by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) for bidders and proposers on contract opportunities. The form serves as a formal declaration that the bidder or proposer has undertaken active and aggressive good faith efforts to solicit and utilize Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms in order to meet the DBE participation requirements established for the contract. Bidders must complete this certification, sign it under penalty of perjury, and submit it along with supporting documentation that demonstrates the scope and nature of their good faith efforts to engage DBE subcontractors and suppliers.

The form requires notarization by a licensed notary public and must include the bidder or proposer's name, the contract number, the date of certification, and attestation that all information provided is true and accurate to the best of the signatory's knowledge. The signatory must confirm they have authority to execute the statement on behalf of their company and that all good faith efforts have been comprehensively documented through attached supporting materials. This certification is a standard compliance requirement for public contracting that ensures bidders have made meaningful attempts to achieve DBE utilization goals on the project.
