1-Anti-Human Trafficking Affidavit.docx

This is an Anti-Human Trafficking Affidavit form required by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners for the Burglar Alarm Systems Upgrade for Courthouses project in Florida. The affidavit must be completed and submitted with the vendor's bid response for the courthouse alarm system upgrades at three locations in Deerfield Beach, Hollywood, and Plantation. If the form is not included in the initial submittal, vendors must provide it within three business days of the County's request, and it must be resubmitted upon contract award, renewal, or extension. Failure to comply with the submission requirements within the stated timeframe may result in the vendor being deemed nonresponsive. The form requires the vendor to declare under penalties of perjury that the company does not use coercion for labor or services as defined in Section 787.06 of the Florida Statutes, with the declaration to be signed by an authorized representative.

The affidavit form is a compliance document that does not directly address pricing, funding, or contract terms but serves as a mandatory certification requirement for vendor eligibility. All vendors submitting bids for the burglar alarm systems upgrade must complete and execute this form with signature, printed name, title, and date. The form was issued on September 9, 2024, and reflects Broward County's commitment to combating human trafficking through its procurement practices. Vendors should ensure this form is included with their electronic submission through BPRO to avoid delays or disqualification from the bidding process.
