The offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the offeror and/or any of its principals- (1) □ Are, □ are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency; (2) □ Have, □ have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: Commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or Commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property, (3) □ Are, □ are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a Government entity with, commission of any of these offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of this clause; and (4) Have, □ have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,500 for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. (ii) Examples. (A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

Manual individual increment adjustment is most desired (adjustment of the output in user selectable increments of 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, where one click of the control knob equals the selected increment). To test solid-state frequency relays, the frequency needs to be varied in 0.001 Hz increments. 4. The test system will have built-in tests for automatic testing of overcurrent, voltage, and frequency relays. The controller will have time curves for electromechanical relays, and time curve algorithms for microprocessor based relays programmed in. The system controller will automatically evaluate the timing test results against the manufacturer's time curves and provide Pass/Fail information to the user. Time curves and timing results will be displayed in real time on the controller display. Test results may be saved to internal memory and down loaded later into a Database. 5. Control the timing functions. The test technician will be able to select seconds vs. cycles, and start the timer with initiation of selected output(s) (see timer specifications). Timer and Relay Contact Monitor Requirements Description: The Timer will be used to measure high-speed operation of electro mechanical, solid-state and microprocessor-based protection relays. It should incorporate up to ten (10) sets of banana plug receptacles, which can be programmed to be; Start, Stop Gates and Monitor, or all Stop Gates, or all Contact Continuity Monitors.

To monitor operation of relay contacts or trip SCR, an LED will be provided for each gate. The gate circuit will be isolated for voltage sensing. Upon sensing continuity or a voltage signal the LED will glow. The following modes will be provided for the Start/Stop/Monitor Gates: 1. Timer will start; stop or LED indicator darkens at the opening of normally closed contacts or when conduction through a semiconductor device such as a triac or transistor is interrupted. 2. Timer will start, stop or LED indicator glows at the closing of normally open contacts or upon conduction through a semiconductor device such as a triac or transistor. 3. Timer will start; stop or LED indicator glows or darkens upon the application or removal of either an AC or DC voltage. The minimum voltage applied will be 5 Volts AC or DC. The maximum voltage to be applied is 300 Volts AC or DC. 4. Starting or Stopping with any selected output. The Timer can be started or stopped when turning on or off any (or all) selected voltage or current outputs. 5. The Timer can be started simultaneously with a change in Amplitude, Phase Angle, or Frequency. Programmable Output Contacts: The test system should incorporate up to six (6) sets of banana plug receptacles, which can be programmed to be; Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.) contacts.
