About this file
This is an exhibit to an Invitation for Bid (IFB 2026-11) issued by the Town of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, establishing compliance requirements related to the South Carolina Illegal Immigration Reform Act. The exhibit applies to all contractors and subcontractors bidding on construction and non-construction projects for the Town. Contractors must certify compliance with Title 8, Chapter 14 of the South Carolina Code of Laws and agree to provide documentation upon request to demonstrate either that the statute is inapplicable to their operations or that they maintain full compliance. All contractors are required to register and participate in the federal E-Verify program to confirm employment authorization for all new employees and must contractually obligate subcontractors and sub-subcontractors to do the same. The exhibit includes an affidavit form that contractors must sign, acknowledging their understanding of and commitment to compliance throughout the contract term.
The document contains criminal penalties provisions, warning that any person who knowingly files false, fictitious, or fraudulent documentation pursuant to the immigration reform act is guilty of a felony subject to fines at the court's discretion or imprisonment for up to five years, or both. Contractors are responsible for cascading compliance requirements through their entire supply chain, ensuring that subcontractors and sub-subcontractors include identical compliance language in their respective agreements. The affidavit requires contractors to identify their organization, provide a signature from an authorized representative, and include the date of certification. No pricing, set-asides, or other commercial terms are addressed in this compliance exhibit.
