IRAN DIVESTMENT ACT COMPLIANCE
RIDER FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS
The Iran Divestment Act of 2012, effective as of April 12, 2012, is codified at State Finance Law
("SFL") 165-a and General Municipal Law ("GML") 103-g. The Iran Divestment Act, with
certain exceptions, prohibits municipalities, including the District, from entering into contracts
with persons engaged in investment activities in the energy sector of Iran. Pursuant to the terms
set forth in SFL 165-a and GML 103-g, a person engages in investment activities in the energy
sector of Iran if:
a. The person provides goods or services of twenty million dollars or more in the
energy sector of Iran, including a person that provides oil or liquefied natural gas tankers,
or products used to construct or maintain pipelines used to transport oil or liquefied
natural gas, for the energy sector of Iran; or
b. The person is a financial institution that extends twenty million dollars or more in
credit to another person, for forty-five days or more, if that person will use the credit to
provide goods or services in the energy sector in Iran and is identified on a list created
pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision three of Section 165-a of the SFL and
maintained by the Commissioner of the Office of General Services.
A bid or proposal shall not be considered for award nor shall any award be made where
the bidder or proposer fails to submit a signed and verified bidder's certification.
Each bidder or proposer must certify that it is not on the list of entities engaged in investment
activities in Iran created pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision 3 of Section 165-a of the SFL.
In any case where the bidder or proposer cannot certify that it is not on such list, the bidder or
proposer shall so state and shall furnish with the bid or proposal a signed statement which sets
forth in detail the reasons why such statement cannot be made. The District may award a bid to a
bidder who cannot make the certificate on a case by case basis if:
1. The investment activities in Iran were made before the effective date of this section (i.e.,
April l2, 2012), the investment activities in Iran have not been expanded or renewed after the
effective date of this section and the person has adopted, publicized and is implementing a
formal plan to cease the investment activities in Iran and to refrain from engaging in any new
investments in Iran; or
2. The District makes a determination that the goods or services are necessary for the
District to perform its functions and that, absent an exemption, the District would be unable to
obtain the goods or services for which the contract is offered. Such determination shall be made
in writing and shall be a public document.

CERTIFICATION
IRAN DIVESTMENT ACT OF 2012
As a result of the Iran Divestment Act of 2012 (Act), Chapter 1 of the 2012 Laws of New York,
added new provisions to the State Finance Law (SFL), 165-a and General Municipal Law
(GML) 103-g effective April 12, 2012. Under the Act, the Commissioner of the Office of
General Services (OGS) will be developing a list (prohibited entities list) of "persons" who are
engaged in "investment activities in Iran" (both are defined terms in the law). Pursuant to SFL
165-a(3)(b) and GML 103-g, the initial list is expected to be issued no later than 120 days after
the Act's effective date, at which time it will be posted on the OGS website.
By submitting a bid in response to this solicitation or by assuming the responsibility of a
Contract awarded hereunder, Bidder/Contractor (or any assignee) certifies that once the
prohibited entities list is posted on the OGS website, it will not utilize on such Contract any
subcontractor that is identified on the prohibited entities list.
Additionally, Bidder/Contractor is advised that once the list is posted on the OGS website, any
Contractor seeking to enter into, renew or extend a Contract or assume the responsibility of a
Contract awarded in response to the solicitation, must certify at the time the Contract is bid upon
or a proposal submitted, or the contract is renewed, extended or assigned that it is not included
on the prohibited entities list.
During the term of the Contract, should the school district (District) receive information that a
person is in violation of the above-referenced certification, District will offer the person an
opportunity to respond. If the person fails to demonstrate that it has ceased its engagement in the
investment which is in violation of the Act within 90 days after the determination of such
violation, then District shall take such action as may be appropriate including, but not limited to,
imposing sanctions, seeking compliance, recovering damages, or declaring the Contractor in
default.
The District reserves the right to reject any bid, proposal or request for assignment for an entity
that appears on the prohibited entities list prior to the award of a contract, and to pursue a
responsibility review with respect to any entity that is awarded a contract and appears on the
prohibited entities list after contract award.
