This is an affirmation document from the City of Hayward, California, regarding compliance with Municipal Ordinance No. 87024 C.S., which pertains to the Hayward Fire Department Vegetation Management Services contract opportunity (Project 26-036). The ordinance prohibits the City from awarding contracts to or purchasing goods or services from any person knowingly or intentionally engaged in the development or production of nuclear weapons. The document requires the owner or company official to certify that their firm is not engaged in such activities. Electronic bid submissions for this project must be submitted to the City's eProcurement Portal by 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. All proposals must clearly identify the RFP title, number, company name, and due date, with late submissions deemed nonresponsive and ineligible for consideration.

This affirmation serves as a prerequisite compliance requirement for all bidders on the vegetation management services contract. The document defines nuclear weapons as any device intended to explode through energy released by fission or fusion reactions involving atomic nuclei, and defines "person" broadly to include private corporations, institutions, and other entities. By signing the affirmation, company officials certify their firm's non-involvement in nuclear weapons development or production, thereby meeting the City of Hayward's procurement eligibility criteria for this project.
