Contractors are not exempt from sales tax on the purchase of machinery, equipment, or tools used in performing the Work. A copy of this Certificate and the City’s Missouri Tax Exemption Letter must be presented to suppliers in order to purchase construction materials and supplies tax free. Contractors are responsible to ensure that any materials purchased with this Certificate are used exclusively on this Project. The Contractor's accounting records should be sufficient to document the appropriate use of this Certificate. The original Certificate, invoices, and other supporting documentation should be retained for five (5) years after Project completion. If this record keeping is found inadequate by an audit by the Department of Revenue, the Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties imposed by the Department of Revenue. Any excess materials and supplies on hand after job completion must be either returned to the supplier, or a sales tax return must be filed with the Department of Revenue to pay the sales tax on these excess materials and supplies. The Certificate shall not be used after its expiration date.

If the Project is not completed by the Certificate’s expiration date, the Contractor shall contact the City and request that a new Certificate be issued. The City will then issue a new Certificate with an expiration date that coincides with the revised completion date. An example of the exemption certificate is shown as https://dor.mo.gov/forms/5060.pdf.

CONTRACTOR/SUBCONTRACTOR: A completed copy of the exemption certificate, along with the City's Missouri Tax Exemption Letter, must be furnished to each material supplier from which construction materials and supplies for this Project are purchased.

The original certificate, invoices, and other supporting documentation should be retained for five (5) years after Project completion.

MATERIAL SUPPLIER: A completed copy of the Sales Tax Exemption Certificate, along with the Missouri Tax Exemption Letter of the exempt entity contracting for the Project, must be obtained from the Contractor/Subcontractor making purchases of construction materials and supplies for use in the Project, and retained for audit purposes. Invoices issued for such purchases must reflect the same of the exempt entity and the Project number or name assigned by the exempt entity.

In addition, individuals, companies, or delegate agencies awarded Federally funded contracts by the City of St. Peters may not subcontract with firms on the List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and Non-Procurement Programs.

Bidders and respondents to federally funded solicitations are required to certify that neither they nor their principals are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in transactions by a Federal department or agency.

All on-site employees are required to complete the Safety Course within sixty days of beginning Work on the Project. Any employee found on the Project Location without documentation of the successful completion of the Safety Course shall be given twenty days to produce such documentation before being subject to removal from the Project.
