About this file
The document is a Lobbying Certification for Contracts form applicable to federal contracts, grants, loans, and cooperative agreements. While this specific document is a standard federal certification form, it is associated with a City of Santa Monica contract opportunity for the Big Blue Bus transit system's real-time information display project. The project involves purchasing and installing approximately 100-125 digital bus stop signs, with a Request for Proposal (RFP) released on May 6, 2025, and proposal submissions due by June 17, 2025 at 3:00 pm. The contract will be a firm-fixed term for five years, targeting enhanced bus stop amenities over the next three years.
The project has a comprehensive evaluation process with 100 total points across six criteria: product design (15 points), vendor stability and references (10 points), work plan and timeline (20 points), technical competence and quality control (25 points), cost (20 points), and presentation (10 points). Contractors must have a minimum of five years of public transit industry experience, with specific installation expertise in real-time information display deployments. Technical requirements include durability, solar/battery power, 4G/5G connectivity, and ADA compliance. Insurance requirements are substantial, including $1,000,000 per occurrence for Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability, with additional Workers' Compensation and Technology Professional Errors and Omissions/Cyber Liability coverage. Contractors must also complete a Vendor Information Security Assessment (VISA) Questionnaire and integrate with existing Big Blue Bus technologies.
