About this file

This is a Criminal History Screening Practices Certification document related to Broward County's consultant services solicitation for the Convention Center Interior and Northport Garage Renovation project in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The document establishes certification requirements that vendors must complete regarding their criminal history screening practices and policies. Prospective consultants providing architectural and engineering design services for this renovation project—which encompasses architectural, interior design, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, civil engineering, landscaping, signage, wayfinding, BIM, LEED, and security design services—are required to certify their compliance with applicable criminal history screening standards. The certification serves as a prerequisite to bid submission and demonstrates the vendor's commitment to maintaining appropriate personnel vetting procedures.

The criminal history screening certification must be completed and submitted as part of the overall vendor response package. This requirement aligns with Broward County's standard agreement language requirements and procurement regulations under Florida Statutes, specifically the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (Section 287.055). The County also enforces County Business Enterprise (CBE) goal participation requirements through its Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD). Vendors are encouraged to provide all documentation at time of submittal to facilitate timely and comprehensive review, regardless of whether items are designated as required or optional in the BPRO system.

CRIMINAL HISTORY SCREENING PRACTICES CERTIFICATION

Top of Form The completed form should be returned with the Vendor’s submittal. If not provided with the submittal, Vendor must submit the form within three business days after County’s request. Vendor may be deemed nonresponsive for failure to fully comply within the stated timeframe.

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.

B. This requirement shall apply only to positions located within the United States that will foreseeably perform work under a contract with Broward County.

C. The failure of Vendor to comply with Section 26-125(d) at any time during the contract term shall constitute a material breach of the contract, entitling Broward County to pursue any remedy permitted under the contract and any other remedy provided under applicable law.

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.
