About this file
This is a Criminal History Screening Practices Certification form required by Broward County, Florida for vendors seeking contracts valued at $100,000 or more. The certification applies to the Secret Woods Tower Demolition project for the Parks and Recreation Division. Vendors must certify compliance with Section 26-125(d) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, which mandates that inquiries into applicants' criminal histories, including background checks, may only occur after an applicant has been selected as a finalist and interviewed for a position. The requirement applies exclusively to positions located within the United States that will foreseeably perform work under the Broward County contract. The completed form must be submitted with the vendor's proposal or within three business days of the County's request; failure to comply may result in the vendor being deemed nonresponsive.
Vendors must select one of two certification options: either certify implementation of compliant criminal history screening policies and procedures, or claim exemption based on federal, state, or local law requirements or governmental agency status. Non-compliance with the criminal history screening requirements at any time during the contract term constitutes material breach and entitles Broward County to pursue all available contractual and legal remedies, including contract termination, debarment, or suspension proceedings under Chapter 21 of the Broward County Administrative Code. The certification form requires vendor name, authorized signatory signature, printed name, title, and date of execution.

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.

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.
