About this file
This is a Criminal History Screening Practices Certification form required by Broward County, Florida for vendors seeking contracts valued at $100,000 or more. The certification document implements Section 26-125(d) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances and must be completed and submitted with the vendor's proposal or within three business days of the County's request. Vendors failing to comply with submission requirements may be deemed nonresponsive. The certification applies to the Port Everglades 2025 Air Emissions Inventory and Reduction Planning contract, a federal grant-funded fixed-price project that involves developing an activity-based air emissions inventory for Port Everglades facilities, facilitating Technical and Stakeholder Working Groups, conducting public and stakeholder outreach, and strengthening the workforce in accordance with EPA-approved work plans.
Vendors must certify compliance with criminal history screening practices by selecting one of two options: either confirming implementation of policies that preclude inquiry into applicants' criminal histories until finalists are interviewed for positions located within the United States performing work under the Broward County contract, or claiming exemption based on federal, state, or local law requirements or governmental agency status. Failure to comply with these requirements at any time during the contract term constitutes material breach, permitting contract termination and potential debarment or suspension proceedings under Broward County Administrative Code Chapter 21. The certification form, dated September 9, 2024, requires vendor name, authorized signature, printed name, title, and date of execution.

Section 26-125(d) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances (“Criminal History Screening Practices”) requires that a Vendor seeking a contract in the amount of $100,000 or more with Broward County shall certify:
A. Vendor has implemented, or will implement upon award of the contract, policies, practices, and procedures regarding inquiry into the criminal history of an applicant for employment, including a criminal history background check of any such person, that preclude inquiry into an applicant's criminal history until the applicant is selected as a finalist and interviewed for the position.
B. This requirement shall apply only to positions located within the United States that will foreseeably perform work under a contract with Broward County.
C. The failure of Vendor to comply with Section 26-125(d) at any time during the contract term shall constitute a material breach of the contract, entitling Broward County to pursue any remedy permitted under the contract and any other remedy provided under applicable law.
D. If Vendor fails to comply with Section 26-125(d) at any time during the contract term, Broward County may, in addition to all other available remedies, terminate the contract and Vendor may be subject to debarment or suspension proceedings consistent with the procedures in Chapter 21 of the Broward County Administrative Code.
