Non-nuclear.pdf

This is an affirmation document for the City of Hayward, California, establishing a compliance requirement for contractors participating in municipal procurements. The document requires company officials to certify that their firm is not knowingly or intentionally engaged in the development or production of nuclear weapons, as prohibited by City of Hayward Ordinance No. 87024 C.S. The ordinance defines nuclear weapons as any device intended to explode through energy released by fission or fusion reactions involving atomic nuclei, and applies this restriction to any person, private corporation, institution, or other entity seeking to contract with or provide goods and services to the city. The affirmation must be signed by an authorized company official and include the company name, official name and title, company address, city/state/zip code, signature, and date.

This certification requirement applies to the City of Hayward's Request for Quote for Vending Machine Services at city-owned facilities. Prospective vendors must complete and submit this affirmation as part of their bid response through the OpenGov Procurement portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/hayward-ca. Bidders are required to create a free OpenGov Procurement account to access the opportunity and submit electronic bids. The affirmation serves as a compliance mechanism to ensure that awarded contractors meet the city's established procurement standards regarding non-involvement in nuclear weapons development or production.
