About this file
This is a Criminal History Screening Practices Certification form required by Broward County, Florida for the Consulting Services for Bus Rapid Transit Activities contract opportunity. The certification applies to vendors seeking contracts valued at $100,000 or more with Broward County. The form requires vendors to certify compliance 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 candidates are selected as finalists and interviewed for positions. This requirement applies only to positions located within the United States that will foreseeably perform work under the Broward County contract. The form must be completed and returned with the vendor's submittal, or the vendor must submit it within three business days of the County's request, with failure to comply resulting in the vendor being deemed nonresponsive.
Vendors must select one of two certification options on the form: either certify that they have implemented or will implement the required criminal history screening practices upon contract award, or claim exemption based on federal, state, or local legal requirements mandating earlier criminal background checks or because the vendor is a governmental agency. Non-compliance with Section 26-125(d) at any time during the contract term constitutes material breach and entitles Broward County to pursue available remedies, including contract termination and debarment or suspension proceedings. The form, dated September 9, 2024, requires the vendor's authorized representative to sign and provide their name, title, and date of certification.
