5-5.REQUIRED HUMAN TRAFFICKING AFFIDAVIT.pdf

This is a Human Trafficking Affidavit document required by the City of Tallahassee, Florida for the Hopkins Rice SCR Catalyst Replacement contract opportunity, as mandated by Section 787.06(13) of the Florida Statutes. The affidavit must be completed, signed, and notarized by an officer or representative of the bidding nongovernmental entity. The signatory attests under penalty of perjury that the entity does not use coercion for labor or services as defined in Florida law. The document requires the entity name, signature, and title of the authorized representative, along with notarization by a notary public who must confirm the signer's identity through either physical presence or online notarization.

The affidavit is a mandatory compliance document with no pricing, set-asides, or contract term information contained within it. The requirement applies to all nongovernmental entities bidding on the catalyst replacement project, which involves supplying three types of emissions control catalysts—SCR, ROM, and OXI units—for the City of Tallahassee's seven Wartsila engines. Bidders must submit this notarized affidavit as part of their bid package to demonstrate compliance with Florida's human trafficking prevention requirements.
