About this file
This is a criminal history screening practices certification form required by Broward County for vendors seeking contracts valued at $100,000 or more in connection with the consulting services solicitation for building systems assessment and design at Port Everglades Cruise Terminals Group 1. The form must be completed and returned with the vendor's submittal, or submitted within three business days upon county request, with failure to comply potentially resulting in the vendor being deemed nonresponsive. The certification relates to Broward County's requirement under Section 26-125(d) of the County Code of Ordinances that vendors implement fair hiring practices regarding criminal background checks for positions that will perform work under county contracts.
The certification requires vendors to certify that they have implemented or will implement policies that prohibit inquiring into an applicant's criminal history until the applicant is selected as a finalist and interviewed, specifically for positions located within the United States that will perform work under the Broward County contract. Vendors may claim exemption if they are required by federal, state, or local law to conduct criminal background checks at different times or if they are governmental agencies. Non-compliance with these requirements during the contract term constitutes a material breach and may result in contract termination, debarment, or suspension proceedings, emphasizing Broward County's commitment to fair hiring practices in its procurement process.

Section 26-125(d) of the Broward County Code of Ordinances (“Criminal History Screening Practices”) requires that a Vendor seeking a contract in the amount of $100,000 or more with Broward County shall certify:
A. Vendor has implemented, or will implement upon award of the contract, policies, practices, and procedures regarding inquiry into the criminal history of an applicant for employment, including a criminal history background check of any such person, that preclude inquiry into an applicant's criminal history until the applicant is selected as a finalist and interviewed for the position.

D. If Vendor fails to comply with Section 26-125(d) at any time during the contract term, Broward County may, in addition to all other available remedies, terminate the contract and Vendor may be subject to debarment or suspension proceedings consistent with the procedures in Chapter 21 of the Broward County Administrative Code.
