Non-nuclear.pdf

This is a nuclear weapons non-involvement affirmation form required by the City of Hayward in compliance with Municipal Ordinance No. 87024 C.S. for the Hayward Fire Department's vegetation management services procurement (Project 26-036). The affirmation certifies that the undersigned company official affirms the firm is not knowingly or intentionally engaged in the development or production of nuclear weapons, as defined by the ordinance. Company officials must provide their printed name and title, company name and address, signature, and date on the form. This document serves as a mandatory submission component for all bidders responding to the City of Hayward's Request for Proposals for vegetation management services, which include tree limb chipping, residential assistance programs, and weed abatement services throughout the Hayward Hills and adjacent areas. Electronic proposals must be submitted through the City's eProcurement Portal by 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, with City Council approval scheduled for April 21, 2026.

The non-involvement affirmation defines "Nuclear Weapon" as any device whose intended explosion results from energy released by fission or fusion reactions involving atomic nuclei, and "Person" as any individual, private corporation, institution, or other entity. This affirmation is a standard compliance requirement for all City of Hayward contracts and must be completed and submitted alongside other mandatory certifications including non-collusion affidavits, nondiscriminatory employment practice certifications, and labor and materials bonds set at not less than 100 percent of total contract value. No specific funding amounts, budget allocations, or contract term details are referenced within the affirmation document itself, as it functions solely as a certification attestation rather than a substantive procurement specification.
