<br /> <br /> <br /> CALIFORNIA <br /> OFFICE of TRAFFIC SAFETY <br /> <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> CERTIFICATIONS AND ASSURANCES <br /> <br /> Instructions for Lower Tier Certification <br /> <br /> 1. By signing and submitting this Grant Agreement, the prospective lower tier participant is providing the certification <br /> set out below. <br /> 2. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this <br /> transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the prospective lower tier participant knowingly rendered <br /> an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal government, the department or <br /> agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or <br /> debarment. <br /> <br /> 3. The prospective lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the person to which this Grant <br /> Agreement is submitted if at any time the prospective lower tier participant learns that its certification was <br /> erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. <br /> <br /> 4. The terms covered transaction, debarred, suspended, ineligible, lower tier covered transaction, participant, person, <br /> primary covered transaction, principal, Grant Agreement, and voluntarily excluded, as used in this clause, have the <br /> meanings set out in the Definition and Coverage sections of 49 CFR Part 29. You may contact the person to whom <br /> this Grant Agreement is submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations. <br /> 5. The prospective lower tier participant agrees by submitting this Grant Agreement that, should the proposed covered <br /> transaction be entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is <br /> proposed for debarment under 48 CFR Part 9, subpart 9.4, debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily <br /> excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the department or agency with which <br /> this transaction originated. <br /> <br /> 6. The prospective lower tier participant further agrees by submitting this Grant Agreement that it will include the <br /> clause titled "Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-Lower Tier <br /> Covered Transaction," without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower <br /> tier covered transactions. (See below) <br /> <br /> 7. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier <br /> covered transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR Part 9, subpart 9.4, debarred, suspended, <br /> ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A <br /> participant may decide the method and frequency by which it determines the eligibility of its principals. Each <br /> participant may, but is not required to, check the List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement and Non- <br /> procurement Programs. <br /> 8. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to <br /> render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not <br /> required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business <br /> dealings. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 5 Certifications and Assurances (Rev. 2013) <br /> <br /> 20A-17 <br />
