18-Certification for Tax-Felony Convictions.docx

This is a Tax Delinquency and Felony Convictions Certification document required by Broward County Aviation Department for the Consulting Services for Environmental Compliance contract opportunity at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) and North Perry Airport (HWO) in Florida. The solicitation seeks up to two consultants to provide environmental compliance services, including work under two primary groupings: Environmental Regulatory Compliance and Response Services. Vendors must submit their solicitation responses electronically through BPRO by the specified closing date and time, and the County reserves the right to review future Work Authorizations for potential conflicts of interest on a case-by-case basis. Generally, vendors performing studies, evaluations, and assessments may be precluded from performing subsequent design work arising from those particular assessments. The County provides a designated timeframe for vendors to submit questions and seek clarification through BPRO, with responses provided in the Messages section.

Vendors are required to complete two certification statements regarding their current tax delinquency and felony conviction status. Specifically, vendors must certify whether they are or are not a corporation with unpaid Federal tax liability that has been assessed, for which all judicial and administrative remedies have been exhausted or lapsed, and that is not being paid in a timely manner pursuant to an agreement with the responsible tax authority. Additionally, vendors must certify whether they were or were not convicted of a criminal violation under any Federal law within the preceding 24 months. Vendors awarded a contract must incorporate these certification provisions in all lower-tier subcontracts. The County strongly encourages vendors to submit all available documents and information, including those listed as optional in BPRO, to enable timely and comprehensive review.
