Disadvantaged Business Enterprise The requirements of 49 CFR part 26 apply to this contract. It is the policy of the LAKEFRONT MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY to practice nondiscrimination based on race, color, sex, or national origin in the award or performance of this contract. The Owner encourages participation by all firms qualifying under this solicitation regardless of business size or ownership. Federal Fair Labor Standards Act All contracts and subcontracts that result from this solicitation incorporate by reference the provisions of 29 CFR part 201, et seq, the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), with the same force and effect as if given in full text. The FLSA sets minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards for full and part-time workers. The Contractor has full responsibility to monitor compliance to the referenced statute or regulation. The Contractor must address any claims or disputes that arise from this requirement directly with the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division. Trade Restriction Certification By submission of an offer, the Offeror certifies that with respect to this solicitation and any resultant contract, the Offeror 1) is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR); 2) has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a person that is a citizen or national of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by the USTR; and 3) has not entered into any subcontract for any product to be used on the Federal project that is produced in a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR. This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Title 18 USC 1001. The Offeror/Contractor must provide immediate written notice to the Owner if the Offeror/Contractor learns that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The Contractor must require subcontractors provide immediate written notice to the Contractor if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 49 CFR 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to an Offeror or subcontractor: 1) who is owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the USTR; or 2) whose subcontractors are owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country on such USTR list; or 3) who incorporates in the public works project any product of a foreign country on such USTR list. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. The Offeror agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this provision for certification without modification in all lower tier subcontracts. The Contractor may rely on the certification of a prospective subcontractor that it is not a firm from a foreign country included on the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms as published by USTR, unless the Offeror has knowledge that the certification is erroneous. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making an award. If it is later determined that the Contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may direct through the Owner cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Owner or the FAA. This project is to be financed in whole or in part with federal funds which are not expected to be readily available at the time bids are opened. Accordingly, this project is exempt from the time limitations for award set forth in La. R.S. 38:2215 pursuant to Subsection D thereof. The Owner reserves the right to award the contract within a reasonable time after the opening of bids and upon availability of funding. Bid Validity; Award. Each Bid shall remain valid, and may not be withdrawn, for a period of forty-five (45) calendar days after the date of opening of Bids. The Authority and the lowest responsible and responsive Bidder may, by mutual written consent, extend the deadline for award by one or more extensions of thirty (30) calendar days each, and each such extension shall extend, for the same period, the time during which the Bid of the lowest responsible and responsive Bidder remains valid and may not be withdrawn. No extension shall cause the aggregate time for issuing the Notice of Award to exceed one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date of opening of Bids unless the written consent of the Bidder's surety is first obtained in accordance with Paragraph 5 of the Bid Bond.
