About this file
This is a Lobbyist Registration Requirement Certification form issued by Broward County, Florida for use in connection with competitive solicitations, specifically applicable to the External Audit Services contract opportunity. The certification form requires vendors to disclose whether they have retained lobbyists to lobby in connection with the competitive solicitation and to certify compliance with the Broward County Lobbyist Registration Act, Sections 1-260 through 1-262, of the Broward County Code of Ordinances. Vendors must select one of two options: either certify that no lobbyists have been retained or certify that all retained lobbyists have timely filed required registration or amended registration documents. If lobbyists have been retained, vendors must provide detailed information including the names, firms, phone numbers, and email addresses of each lobbyist. The completed form must be submitted with the solicitation response but may be requested within three business days after the County's request, with vendors potentially deemed nonresponsive for failure to comply within the stated timeframes.
The certification carries significant contractual consequences for vendors. Any vendor that fails to fully comply with the lobbyist registration requirements may be deemed nonresponsive and ineligible for award. Additionally, if the County discovers after contract award that a vendor's certification was erroneous and determines the error was willful or intentional, the County reserves the right to exercise contractual remedies, including termination of the contract for convenience. Vendors are required to notify the County promptly if they retain a lobbyist after submission of the solicitation response. The form was last updated on September 9, 2024.

The Vendor certifies that it understands if it has retained a lobbyist(s) to lobby in connection with a competitive solicitation, it shall be deemed nonresponsive unless the firm, in responding to the competitive solicitation, certifies that each lobbyist retained has timely filed the registration or amended registration required under the Broward County Lobbyist Registration Act, Sections 1-260 through 1-262, Broward County Code of Ordinances; and it understands that if, after awarding a contract in connection with the solicitation, the County learns that the certification was erroneous, and upon investigation determines that the error was willful or intentional on the part of the Vendor, the County may, on that basis, exercise any contractual right to terminate the contract for convenience.
The Vendor hereby certifies that: (select one)
☐ It has not retained a lobbyist(s) to lobby in connection with this competitive solicitation; however, if retained after the solicitation, the County will be promptly notified.
