This is a Non-Nuclear Weapons Development Affirmation form required by the City of Hayward as a compliance certification for the RFP 26-021 High Injury Network Safety Plan (Phase 2) procurement. The form mandates that company officials certify their firm is not knowingly or intentionally engaged in the development or production of nuclear weapons, as defined by City of Hayward Ordinance No. 87024 C.S. The ordinance defines nuclear weapons as any device whose intended explosion results from energy released by fission or fusion reactions involving atomic nuclei, and applies this restriction to any person, private corporation, institution, or other entity. Proposers must complete the affirmation by providing the company name, official name and title, company address, city/state/zip code, signature, and date before submitting their proposal for the High Injury Network Safety Plan project by the November 13, 2025 deadline.

This certification document serves as a mandatory pre-award requirement with no financial implications but represents a material compliance obligation for all bidders. Failure to complete and submit this affirmation would likely result in proposal rejection as non-responsive. The form is part of the broader compliance framework the City of Hayward has established for this transportation safety consulting project, alongside other requirements including non-discriminatory hiring practices, insurance coverage maintenance, prevailing wage compliance, and noncollusion affidavits. Non-compliance with municipal requirements can result in penalties up to $250 per calendar day or 1% of the total contract amount and potential disqualification from future city bidding opportunities.
