About this file

This document is a Criminal History Screening Practices Certification form from Broward County, Florida, requiring vendors bidding on contracts valued at $100,000 or more to certify their employment screening practices.

The related state and local contract opportunity is for fabricating and refurbishing water and wastewater control panels for the Public Works and Environmental Services Department. The open-end contract requires vendors to provide all necessary labor, equipment, materials, and services to furnish, refurbish, remove, and install control panels. Vendors must submit their responses electronically through BPRO and comply with Office of Economic and Small Business Development procurement preferences for small and county businesses. Specific requirements include county/state licensing, bonding requirements, and adherence to the solicitation's detailed specifications.

CRIMINAL HISTORY SCREENING PRACTICES CERTIFICATION

Top of Form The completed form should be returned with the Vendor’s submittal. If not provided with the submittal, Vendor must submit the form within three business days after County’s request. Vendor may be deemed nonresponsive for failure to fully comply within the stated timeframe.

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.
