About this file
This is a Criminal History Screening Practices Certification form required by Broward County, Florida for the Judicial Court West Tower Repairs contract. The certification documents the vendor's compliance with Section 26-125(d) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, which mandates that vendors seeking contracts valued at $100,000 or more must implement policies and procedures that restrict criminal history inquiries until applicants are selected as finalists and interviewed for positions. 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 within the specified timeframe may result in the vendor being deemed nonresponsive.
Vendors must certify compliance by selecting one of two options: either confirming that they have implemented or will implement the required criminal history screening practices, or claiming exemption based on federal, state, or local law requirements or governmental agency status. Non-compliance with these requirements during the contract term constitutes material breach and entitles Broward County to pursue available remedies, including contract termination and debarment or suspension proceedings under Chapter 21 of the Broward County Administrative Code. The certification form was dated September 9, 2024, and requires the vendor's authorized representative to sign and provide printed name, title, and date.

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.

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.
