About this file
This is a Heat Illness Protection Affidavit form published by the City of Boston in April 2026, applicable to vendors entering into covered contracts with the city. The affidavit applies to the Boston Public Schools (BPS) Safety Exterior Signage contract, which seeks to establish a contract with a qualified bidder to fabricate, deliver, install, remove, and repair signage for BPS facilities. The contract does not exceed $90,000 for the contract period, and BPS is not obligated to utilize the full amount. The procurement is subject to Massachusetts General Law Chapter 149 and related applicable regulations.
Vendors must certify compliance with the City of Boston's Chapter 4-10 Ordinance to Protect Workers from Heat-Related Illnesses and Injuries by signing this affidavit. Key requirements include preparing a project-specific Heat Illness Prevention Plan (HIPP) before work begins, implementing basic heat protections when the heat index reaches 80°F and additional protections at 90°F, making the HIPP available to the city upon request, providing the plan in languages understood by employees, and notifying employees of complaint procedures. Contractors must incorporate HIPP requirements into all subcontracts and ensure subcontractor compliance. The ordinance covers outdoor work categories including construction, landscaping, outdoor security services, moving services, and trash collection. Vendors remain solely responsible for complying with existing Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations independent of this ordinance.
