About this file

This document contains administrative and legal forms required for submission as Exhibit B in response to the Transbay Joint Powers Authority's (TJPA) Request for Qualifications for Professional Engineering, Design, and Construction Support Services for The Portal 10-UR Utility Relocation Project. The RFQ seeks engineering firms with qualifications and expertise in planning, design, estimating, engineering, development, procurement, and construction support of complex utility relocation projects in urban areas. Respondents must submit completed forms addressing non-collusion declarations, business organization details, insurance letters, financial statements, organizational conflicts of interest assessments, certifications and questionnaires, Fly America compliance, lobbying restrictions, and joint venturer liability statements if applicable. The forms require disclosure of team member composition, financial status for the three most recently completed fiscal years, and certification from a Certified Public Accountant. Specific certifications must address debarment status, suspension history, professional license revocation, criminal convictions, bankruptcy proceedings, insurance policy refusals, and workers' compensation coverage within designated timeframes, typically the preceding three to five years.

Respondents must certify their ability to comply with all insurance requirements including coverage for both onsite and offsite work and all subconsultants. The forms require detailed disclosure of any past, present, or planned financial, contractual, organizational, or other interests that could create conflicts of interest, including prior work for TJPA or related clients within the past three years. Respondents must confirm their capacity to provide engineering services under California law and current DIR registration status. Responses must address business matters including loan defaults, unsatisfied judgments or liens, pending sales or acquisitions, current work backlog capacity, prior contract failures or project removals, liquidated damages assessments, prevailing wage violations, and any criminal convictions of officers or principals. All certifications and declarations are made under penalty of perjury and must be signed by authorized representatives. Failure to provide required statements or misrepresentation of facts may result in ineligibility for award, contract termination, or assessment of penalties.
