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 form pertains to the Main Library Plaza Renovation project in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a historical landmark renovation spanning approximately 38,826 square feet at 100 South Andrews Avenue. The scope of work includes furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, services, and incidentals necessary for the plaza renovation. Vendors must submit their solicitation responses electronically through BPRO by the specified closing date and are strongly encouraged to provide all required and optional documents to enable timely and comprehensive review. County and state licensing and bonding requirements apply, and a mandatory site visit is required. The vendor must receive a Submission Receipt confirming electronic submission through BPRO.
The certification form requires vendors to comply with Section 26-125(d) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, which mandates that vendors implement policies and procedures prohibiting inquiry into applicants' criminal histories until they are selected as finalists and interviewed for positions located within the United States that will perform work on the contract. Vendors must certify compliance with this requirement or qualify for an exemption if required by applicable federal, state, or local law to conduct background checks or if the vendor is a governmental agency. Failure to comply constitutes material breach and may result in contract termination, debarment, or suspension proceedings under Chapter 21 of the Broward County Administrative Code. The form must be completed and returned with the vendor's submittal or within three business days of the County's request, with non-compliance potentially rendering the vendor nonresponsive.
