The purpose of this Request for Bids (RFB) is to solicit bids from qualified providers to provide the goods and/or services

described further in this RFB to the Lead Agency and any Participating Agencies. The Lead Agency intends to award a

up to the number of annual extensions identified in the solicitation at the sole discretion of the Lead Agency. Any

contract(s) resulting from the RFB shall not be an exclusive contract.

This RFB is designed to provide Bidders with the information necessary for the preparation of competitive Bids. The RFB

process is for the Lead Agency’s and Participating Agencies’ benefit and is intended to provide the Lead Agency with

competitive information to assist in the selection process. It is not intended to be comprehensive. Each Bidder is

responsible for determining all factors necessary for the submission of a comprehensive Bid.

It is advised to "Save Progress" often and especially after uploading documents.

NOTE: Anytime the Bidder opens their bid after the initial submission, they MUST certify and resubmit. No

information will be lost from the initial submission.

NOTE: Bidder must approve and resubmit their bid after an amendment has been posted by the Issuing Officer. If

the bid was submitted before the amendment, all information will be saved. The Bidder only needs to read and

acknowledge the amendment.

Instructions for Amendments: Answer the newly posted question in the Questions Section, and CERTIFY and SUBMIT

your bid again (if previously submitted).

Certification of Independence

I certify that I am a representative of Bidder expressly authorized to make the following certifications on behalf of Bidder. By submitting a Bid in response to

the RFB, I certify on behalf of the Bidder the following:

1. The Bid has been developed independently, without consultation, communication or agreement with any employee or consultant to the Agency or

with any person serving as a member of the evaluation committee.

2. The Bid has been developed independently, without consultation, communication or agreement with any other Bidder or parties for the purpose of

5. No relationship exists or will exist during the contract period between Bidder and the Agency or any other State agency that interferes with fair

Certification Regarding Debarment

I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, neither Bidder nor any of its principals: (a) are presently or have been debarred, suspended, proposed for

debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from covered transactions by a Federal Agency or State Agency; (b) have within a five year period

preceding this Bid been convicted of, or had a civil judgment rendered against them for commission of fraud, a criminal offense in connection with obtaining,

attempting to obtain, or performing a public (federal, state, or local) transaction or contract under a public transaction, violation of antitrust statutes;

commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, or receiving stolen property; (c) are presently

indicted for or criminally or civilly charged by a government entity (federal, state, or local) with the commission of any of the offenses enumerated in (b) of

this certification; and (d) have not within a three year period preceding this Bid had one or more public transactions (federal, state, or local) terminated for

cause.

This certification is a material representation of fact upon which the Agency has relied upon when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined

that Bidder knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available, the Agency may pursue available remedies including

suspension, debarment, or termination of the contract.

Certification Regarding Registration, Collection, and Remission of Sales and Use Tax

Pursuant to Iowa Code sections 423.2(10) and 423.5(8) (2013) a retailer in Iowa or a retailer maintaining a business in Iowa that enters into a contract with a

state agency must register, collect, and remit Iowa sales tax and Iowa use tax levied under Iowa Code chapter 423 on all sales of tangible personal property

and enumerated services. The Act also requires Bidders to certify their compliance with sales tax registration, collection, and remission requirements and

provides potential consequences if the certification is false or fraudulent.

By submitting a Bid in response to the (RFB), the Bidder certifies the following:

• Bidder is registered with the Iowa Department of Revenue, collects, and remits Iowa sales and use taxes as required by Iowa Code chapter

423; OR

• Bidder is not a “retailer” or a “retailer maintaining a place of business in this state” as those terms are defined in Iowa Code subsections 423.1(47)

and (48).

Bidder also acknowledges that the Agency may declare the Bidder’s Bid or resulting contract void if the above certification is false. The Bidder also

understands that fraudulent certification may result in the Agency or its representative filing for damages for breach of contract in additional to other

remedies available to Agency.
