NCTCOG has elected to include the requirements of the DOT Circular 2015.1 in all third-party contracts for federal funds. A certification process has been established by 49 CFR. Part 29 as a means to ensure that debarred, suspended, or voluntarily excluded persons do not participate in a federally assisted project. The inability of a person to provide the required certification will not necessarily result in a denial of participation in a covered transaction. A person that is unable to provide a positive certification as set forth in the Circular may submit a complete explanation attached to the certification. DOT will consider the certification and any accompanying explanation in determining whether or not to provide assistance for the project. Failure to furnish a certification or any explanation may disqualify that person from participating in the project. Each potential third-party contractor, subcontractor under a third-party contract, subgrantee, or subrecipient must provide to the grantee or recipient of a cooperative agreement, as appropriate, a certification for a lower tier participant. In general, lower-level employees or procurements of less than $25,000 will not be covered by the certification process procedures, except in the case of procurements with individuals that would have a critical influence on or substantive control over the project; nevertheless, a participant is not authorized to involve a lower-level employee or enter into a contract of less than $25,000 with a person actually known by the participant to be debarred, suspended or voluntarily excluded. NCTCOG requires each potential contractor subgrantee, or subrecipient for a third-party contract to complete the certification in Exhibit B.1 for itself and its principals. If an applicant for a grant or cooperative agreement or a potential contractor for a third-party contract knowingly enters into a lower-tier covered transaction such as a third-party contract or subcontract under a major third-party contract or subgrant with a person that is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in the project, in addition to other remedies available to the federal government, DOT may terminate the grant or subcontract, the underlying grant or cooperative agreement for cause or default. Interlocal Cooperation Agreement Page 14 NCTCOG and City of Fort Worth-TRN6415 Regional Minor Intersection Improvement Program DocuSign Envelope ID:FBF0274C-449B-4BFB-8474-5DE54BBD70BD EXHIBIT B.1 LOWER TIER PARTICIPANT DEBARMENT CERTIFICATION Aziz Rahman , being duly (Name of certifying official) sworn or under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States, certifies that neither City of Fort Worth nor its principals (Name of lower tier participant) are presently: • debarred, suspended, proposed fordebarment, • declared ineligible, • or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any federal department or agency. Where the above identified lower tier participant is unable to certify to any of the above statements in this certification, such prospective participant shall indicate below to whom the exception applies, the initiating agency, and dates of action. Exceptions will not necessarily result in denial of award but will be considered in determining contractor responsibility. Providing false information may result in criminal prosecution or administrative sanctions.
