Non-nuclear.pdf

This is an affirmation document required by the City of Hayward, California, pursuant to Ordinance No. 87024 C.S., which mandates that all contract awardees and service providers certify non-involvement in the development or production of nuclear weapons. The document defines "Nuclear Weapon" as any device intended to explode through energy released by fission or fusion reactions involving atomic nuclei, and applies to all persons, private corporations, institutions, and other entities. All bidders responding to the City of Hayward's Request for Quotation #26-033 for comprehensive vending machine services across five city-owned facilities must execute this affirmation as a condition of contract award. The certification requires a company owner or official to attest under signature that the firm is not knowingly or intentionally engaged in nuclear weapons development or production, with the affidavit to be submitted alongside other required certifications including a Non-Collusion Affidavit and Nondiscriminatory Affirmative Action Certification Statement.

This affirmation is a mandatory compliance requirement with no financial, pricing, or contractual considerations associated with the document itself. Failure to submit this executed affidavit will render a bid non-responsive. The ordinance represents the City of Hayward's policy to ensure public funds do not support entities involved in nuclear weapons manufacturing or development, and the affirmation serves as the enforcement mechanism for this procurement restriction across all city contracts and purchases.
