2. NO OFFER BY MARTA; FIRM OFFER BY QUOTER. This procurement does not constitute an offer by MARTA to enter into an agreement and cannot be accepted by any Quoter to form an agreement.

Pursuant to the Act, the Quoter must provide with its quote proof of its registration which must contain User ID Number and Date of Registration and continuing and future participation in the E-Verify program established by the United States Department of Homeland Security. For additional information on the E-Verify program or to enroll in the program, go to https://e-verify.uscis.gov/enroll. Under state law, MARTA cannot consider any quote which does not include a completed Contractor’s Affidavit. It is not the intent of this notice to provide detailed information or legal advice concerning the Act. Quoters must familiarize themselves with IIREA and are solely responsible for ensuring their compliance therewith. Quoters may not rely on these instructions for that purpose. These instructions are offered only as a convenience to assist Quoters in complying with the requirements of MARTA’s procurement process and the terms of this RFQ.

1. Where the business structure of a Quoter is such that Quoter is required to obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the Internal Revenue Service, Quoter must complete the Contractor Affidavit on behalf of, and provide a Federal Work Authorization User ID Number issued to, the Quoter itself (see Example 1 below). Where the business structure of a Quoter does not require it to obtain an EIN, each entity comprising Quoter must submit a separate Contractor Affidavit (see Example 2 below).

Example 1: ABC, Inc. and XYZ, Inc. form and submit a quote/quote/proposal as TransitService, LLC. TransitService, LLC must enroll in the E-verify program and submit a single Contractor Affidavit in the name of TransitService, LLC which includes the Federal Work Authorization User ID Number issued to TransitService, LLC.

Example 2: ABC, Inc. and XYZ, Inc. execute a joint venture agreement and submit a quote/quote/proposal under the name TransitService, JV. If, based on the nature of the JV agreement, TransitService, JV is not required to obtain an Employer Identification Number from the IRS. The quote/quote/proposal submitted by TransitService, JV must include both a Contractor Affidavit for ABC, Inc. and a Contractor Affidavit for XYZ, Inc.

2. All Contractor Affidavits must be executed by an authorized representative of the entity named in the Affidavit. Contractors utilizing any subcontractors are required to have each subcontractor and sub-subcontractor complete Forms 1b and 1c prior to the award of the contract.
