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 participating in contract opportunities. The form serves as a formal declaration by the bidder or proposer affirming that comprehensive good faith efforts have been actively and aggressively undertaken to solicit and utilize Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms in meeting the DBE participation requirements established for the specific contract. Bidders must provide documentation of all such efforts as supporting evidence, and the certifying individual must possess the authority to execute the statement on behalf of the company.

The form requires the bidder or proposer to certify under penalty of perjury that all information provided regarding good faith efforts is true, valid, and accurate to the best of their knowledge. The document must be completed with the bidder's or proposer's signature, printed name, and date, followed by notarization by a licensed notary public who must provide their signature, address, the county and state where notarization occurred, and the specific date of notarization. This notarized certification is a mandatory submission requirement demonstrating compliance with DBE goals and federal contracting standards applicable to LACMTA contracts.
