About this file
This is a Criminal History Screening Practices Certification form required by Broward County, Florida for the Canal Pump Station (S-45) Improvements contract. The certification applies to vendors seeking contracts valued at $100,000 or more with Broward County and pertains to the County's fixed-price contract for water and wastewater services improvements. The scope of work includes installation of a new drainage pump station, concrete lining of canal, restoration of sod areas, and all ancillary work required for project completion in accordance with specifications and requirements. Vendors must submit their solicitation responses electronically through BPRO (Bonfire platform) by the specified closing date and time to receive a Submission Receipt, with the County encouraging early submission. The certification must be completed and returned with the vendor's initial submittal or within three business days of the County's request, with failure to comply resulting in vendor nonresponsiveness.
The certification requires vendors to implement policies, practices, and procedures that preclude inquiry into an applicant's criminal history until the applicant is selected as a finalist and interviewed for the position, applicable only to positions located within the United States that will foreseeably perform work under the Broward County contract. Vendors may be exempt from this requirement if required by applicable federal, state, or local law to conduct criminal history background checks at a time or in a manner otherwise prohibited, or if the vendor is a governmental agency. Non-compliance with the criminal history screening requirements constitutes material breach of contract and may result in contract termination, debarment, or suspension proceedings consistent with Broward County Administrative Code Chapter 21. County/State license requirements, bonding requirements, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection grant requirements apply to this solicitation.
