a) E-Verify:

Vendor affirms that it is in compliance with Florida Statutes, Section 448.095 which, in part, requires all vendors/contractors and its subcontractors to register with and use the United States Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system for all newly hired employees, and requires vendors/contractors to obtain affidavits from its subcontractors stating that the subcontractor does not employ, contract with, or subcontract with, an unauthorized alien. Vendor acknowledges and understands that pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 448.095, the County is required to terminate this purchase order/contract if it has a good faith belief that the vendor knowingly violated Florida Statutes Section 448.09(1 ); whereupon, the vendor will not be eligible for award of a public contract for at least one (1) year from the date of such termination.

b) Legally Authorized Workforce:

i) Vendor is advised that the County has entered into an agreement (the IMAGE Agreement) with U.S.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) wherein the County will, in part, seek to promote the principles of ethical business conduct, prevent knowingly hiring unauthorized workers through self-governance, and encourage voluntary reporting of the discovery of unauthorized workers to ICE.

cc) that the vendor has actively and affirmatively verified such eligibility utilizing the E-Verify system and/or the Federal Government's Employment Eligibility Verification Form (the Form 1- 9).

ii) A mere allegation of vendor's intent to use and/or current use of unauthorized workers may not be a basis to delay the County's award of a contract to the vendor unless the County has a good faith belief that the vendor knowingly violated Florida Statutes Section 448.09(1) or such allegation has been determined to be factual by ICE prior to the date the contract is scheduled to be awarded by the County.

iii) Good faith claims/beliefs of the vendor's use of unauthorized workers must be reported to both of the following agencies: The County's Compliance Services hotline at (813) 272-6554; and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (l-866-347-2423).

The effect of this paragraph shall remain paramount and shall prevail irrespective of any conflicting provisions contained in contract documents.

c) It is the vendor's responsibility to notify its surety of any changes affecting the general scope of the work/services or change of the contract price, and the amount of the applicable bond(s) shall be adjusted accordingly.

30. UTILIZATION OF CERTIFIED DM/DWBE BUSINESSES

a) This clause shall only be applicable to those contracts/procurements where the vendor has agreed to the goal established by the County for the utilization of Certified Disadvantaged Minority/Disadvantaged Women- Owned Business Enterprises (DM/DWBEs) pursuant to Hillsborough County Resolution No. R06-264 and its subsequent amendments.

b) Vendor acknowledges and agrees that it has committed to achieve the participation goal stated on the ordering document(s) related to this procurement for the utilization of Certified DM/DWBE businesses. Accordingly, vendor is required to subcontract a minimum of this participation goal of the monetary value of the services and/or work to be performed under this contract to Certified DM/DWBE businesses. Vendor shall not substitute with a non-Certified DM/DWBE subcontractor or complete the services/work using its own forces without the prior written approval of the County's DM/DWBE Division Office. Approval of such substitution by the County will be provided only upon a showing that it is not reasonable or possible for the vendor to obtain the services of another Certified DM/DWBE business to achieve the Certified DM/DWBE participation goal. To assist the vendor with identification of County-certified DM/DWBE businesses, vendor should refer to the County's Online DM/DWBE Directory which can be found on the County website at:

https://hillsboroughcounty.diversitycompliance.com/FrontEnd/searchcertifieddirectory.asp?TN=hillsboroughcounty

c) Vendor is required to utilize the County's Vendor Compliance System (B2GNOW) on a monthly basis to confirm payments received from the County and to list any payments made by the vendor to Certified DM/DWBE subcontractors, whether or not payment has been made to the vendor by the County. The County's Vendor Compliance System (B2GNOW) can be accessed at the following link:

https://hillsboroughcounty.diversitycompliance.com/Default.asp?TN=hillsboroughcounty&XID=5455

d) Vendor shall coordinate its DM/DWBE utilization efforts with the County-assigned project manager on this contract.

e) Failure of the vendor to comply with this section may constitute a material breach of contract and shall entitle the

County to remedies as more specifically set forth in the County's Operational Procedures governing the DM/DWBE Program; such remedies may include, but are not limited to, the forfeiture of and/or recovery by the County of monies paid to the vendor under this contract intended for expenditure with a Certified DM/DWBE subcontractor, and/or suspension or debarment of the vendor from bidding and/or working on County contracts for up to two (2) years. Vendor is advised that failure to comply with the requirements of this section may result in a non-responsibility determination of bids/offers by the vendor on future procurement solicitations issued by the County.

31. NO ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT: Vendor shall not make any assignment of this contract, in whole or in part, without the prior written authorization of the County. Failure to obtain prior written authorization of the County will result in a delay of payment(s) at a minimum and may result in termination by the County for breach of contract.
