About this file

This document is a Criminal History Screening Practices Certification form for Broward County, Florida, related to a contract opportunity for repair or replacement of windows and glass doors. The open-end contract is intended for the Port Everglades Department and various Broward County agencies, with vendors required to submit documentation electronically through BPRO (Bonfire Procurement Platform). Vendors must comply with county licensing requirements, bonding requirements, and Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) guidelines.

The certification form specifically addresses Section 26-125(d) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, which mandates that vendors seeking contracts of $100,000 or more implement policies limiting criminal history inquiries during the employment screening process. Vendors must either certify compliance with these screening practices or demonstrate an exemption based on federal, state, or local legal requirements. Failure to comply can result in contract termination, potential debarment, or suspension. The document emphasizes the importance of comprehensive submittal of all requested documents to facilitate a thorough review by the county, with vendors encouraged to provide both required and optional files at the time of submission.

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.
