This is an Affidavit Regarding Labor and Services form issued by the State of Florida Department of Transportation, applicable to all contracts executed, renewed, or extended between nongovernmental entities and governmental entities effective July 1, 2024, pursuant to Florida Statutes 787.06(13). The form requires authorized representatives of nongovernmental entities to attest under penalty of perjury that their organization does not use coercion for labor or services as defined in state law. The affidavit must be completed with the nongovernmental entity's name, address, phone number, authorized representative's name and title, email address, and the representative's signature. The document requires notarization by a notary public, either through physical presence or online notarization, with the notary verifying personal knowledge of the representative or identification produced.

This affidavit applies to the City of Fort Myers' Request for Statement of Qualifications (RSQ 25-069) for architectural services under a continuing contract, establishing a three-year initial term with two potential one-year renewal options. Any architectural firm selected for this procurement must provide the completed affidavit prior to contract execution to comply with Florida law. The form serves as a prerequisite compliance document and does not contain pricing terms, set-asides, or funding information, functioning instead as a mandatory labor and services certification required across all state and local government contracts in Florida.
