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 certification document pertains to the Wiles Road Westbound Departure Lane Transition Improvements project, a fixed-price highway construction contract that includes furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, tools, and services for roadway improvements from University Drive to Coral Hills Drive, along with miscellaneous signing and pavement marking enhancements extending to Riverside Drive. The project falls under the Highway Construction and Engineering Division and must comply with specifications and requirements outlined in the contract documents. Vendors must submit their solicitation responses electronically through BPRO and obtain a Submission Receipt by the specified closing date and time. The solicitation requires an FDOT Certificate of Qualification and bonding, with County Business Enterprise (CBE) goal participation requirements established by the Office of Economic and Small Business Development.
Vendors with contracts of $100,000 or more must certify compliance with Section 26-125(d) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances regarding criminal history screening practices. Specifically, vendors must implement policies and procedures that preclude inquiry into applicants' criminal histories until candidates are selected as finalists and interviewed for positions located within the United States that will perform work under the County contract. Vendors may claim exemption only if required by federal, state, or local law to conduct criminal background checks at an earlier stage 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 certification form must be completed and returned with the vendor's submittal or submitted within three business days of the County's request, with non-compliance potentially rendering the vendor nonresponsive.

A.
