or agreement with any person relative to the price to be bid by anyone at such letting nor to

prevent any person from bidding nor to induce anyone to refrain from bidding, and that this bid

is made without reference to any other bid and without any agreement, understanding or

person or persons, firms, or corporation has, have or will receive directly or indirectly, any

rebate, fee, gift, commission or thing of value on account of such sale; and

2. Contractor certifies by submission of this proposal that neither contractor nor any of its

principals are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or

voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any Federal department or agency;

3. Contractor has not, nor has any successor to, nor an affiliate of, Contractor, engaged in

a. For purposes of this Certification, “Iran” means the government of Iran and any agency or

time-to-time.

b. As provided by Ind. Code § 5-22-16.5-8, as amended from time-to-time, a Contractor is

engaged in investment activities in Iran if either:

i. Contractor, its successor or its affiliate, provides goods or services of twenty million

dollars ($20,000,000) or more in value in the energy sector of Iran; or

ii. Contractor, its successor or its affiliate, is a financial institution that extends twenty

the energy sector in Iran; and (ii) at the time the financial institution extends credit, is

4. Contractor does not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien, nor retain

any employee or contract with a person that the Contractor subsequently learns is an

unauthorized alien. Contractor agrees that he/she/it shall enroll in and verify the work eligibility

status of all of Contractor’s newly hired employees through the E-Verify Program as defined by

I.C. 22-5-1.7-3. Contractor’s documentation of enrollment and participation in the E-Verify

5. Contractor shall require his/her/its subcontractors performing work under this public

contract to certify that the subcontractors do not knowingly employ or contract with an

unauthorized alien, nor retain any employee or contract with a person that the subcontractor

subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien, and that the subcontractor has enrolled in and is

participating in the E-Verify Program. The Contractor agrees to maintain this certification

throughout the term of the contract with the City of South Bend, and understands that the City

may terminate the contract for default if the Contractor fails to cure a breach of this provision no

later than thirty (30) days after being notified by the City.

6. Persons, partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint venturers awarded a contract by

the City of South Bend through its agencies, boards, or commissions shall not discriminate

against any employee or applicant for employment in the performance of a City contract with

respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, or any matter directly or

indirectly related to employment because of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, ancestry,

age, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability that does not affect that

person's ability to perform the work.

In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment, materials,

or any combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works contracts

awarded under public bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are not required by

law, the City, its agencies, boards, or commissions may consider the Contractor’s good faith

efforts to obtain participation by those Contractors certified by the State of Indiana as a Minority

Business (“MBE”) or as a Women’s Business Enterprise (“WBE”) as a factor in determining

the lowest, responsible, responsive bidder.

In no event shall persons or entities seeking the award of a City contract be required to award a

subcontract to an MBE/WBE; however, it may not unlawfully discriminate against said

WBE/MBE. A finding of a discriminatory practice by the City’s MBE/WBE Utilization Board

shall prohibit that person or entity from being awarded a City contract for a period of one (1)

year from the date of such determination, and such determination may also be grounds for

terminating the contact for which the discriminatory practice or noncompliance pertains.

7. The undersigned contractor agrees that the following nondiscrimination commitment

shall be made a part of any contract which it may henceforth enter into with the City of South

Bend, Indiana or any of its agencies, boards or commissions.

Non-Collusion Non-Debarment Affidavit Non Iran Form

Contractor agrees not to discriminate against or intimidate any employee or applicant for

employment in the performance of this contract with privileges of employment, or any matter

directly or indirectly related to employment, because of race, religion, color, sex, gender

expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, handicap, national origin or ancestry. Breach of

this provision may be regarded as material breach of contract.

I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works project, understand my

statutory obligations to the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States

(I.C. 5-16-8-1). I hereby certify that I and all subcontractors employed by me for this project will

use steel products or foundry products made in the United States on this project if awarded. I

understand I have an affirmative duty to notify the City in my bid that my proposal does not

include the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States. I understand it is

my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a justification to the City, subject to review and

approval, why the cost of United States made steel or foundry products is unreasonable. Prior to

award and upon submission of bid which does not use steel products or foundry products made

in the United States, the City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination if

the price of United States made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations

hereunder may result in forfeiture of contractual payments.

***

I hereby affirm under the penalties of perjury that the facts and information contained in the foregoing bid for

public works are true and correct.
