Non-nuclear.pdf

This is an affirmation document regarding non-involvement in nuclear weapons development, required by the City of Hayward, California, for the Vending Machine Services procurement opportunity (RFQ #26-033). The document certifies compliance with City of Hayward Ordinance No. 87024 C.S., which prohibits contract awards to any person or entity knowingly or intentionally engaged in the development or production of nuclear weapons. The ordinance defines "nuclear weapon" as any device whose intended explosion results from energy released by fission or fusion reactions involving atomic nuclei, and "person" to include any individual, private corporation, institution, or other entity. Bidders must submit an executed affirmation signed by a company owner or official confirming that their firm is not engaged in such development or production activities.

This affirmation is a mandatory compliance requirement for all bidders responding to the City of Hayward's vending machine services solicitation. The document serves as one of three required executed affidavits, alongside a Non-Collusion Affidavit and a Nondiscriminatory Affirmative Action Certification Statement. Failure to submit this affirmation would likely result in bid disqualification. The form requires the company name, official name and title, company address, city/state/zip code, official signature, and date. No exceptions or waivers to this requirement are identified in the procurement documents.
