Non-nuclear.pdf

This is an affirmation document related to the City of Hayward's Drone as First Responder (DFR) Program procurement (RFP 26-059) in California. The affirmation certifies compliance with City of Hayward Ordinance No. 87024 C.S., which prohibits contract awards to entities engaged in the development or production of nuclear weapons. Companies must submit signed affirmations affirming non-involvement in nuclear weapons development or production as defined by the ordinance. Sealed proposals for the DFR Program must be submitted to the City's eProcurement Portal by 4:00 pm on Monday, July 13, 2026. The proposal must clearly identify the RFP title, number, company name, and due date. Late submissions will not be accepted and will be deemed nonresponsive.

The affirmation serves as a mandatory compliance certification requirement for all bidders. Company officials must certify under the definitions provided in the ordinance, which defines "Nuclear Weapon" as any device intended to explode from energy released by fission or fusion reactions involving atomic nuclei, and "Person" broadly to include private corporations, institutions, and other entities. Failure to provide or falsely completing this affirmation may result in bid rejection or contract termination. No pricing terms, set-asides, or funding information is contained within this particular document, as it functions solely as a compliance certification requirement for the DFR Program procurement.
