This is an Affidavit of Compliance with Anti-Human Trafficking Laws, a mandatory compliance document required for contractors bidding on state and local contract opportunities in Florida, including the Southeast Drainage Retrofit Project, Phase II managed by the City of Dania Beach and related drainage improvement projects in Santa Rosa County and Charles County, Maryland. The affidavit requires the undersigned authorized representative of the contracting entity to attest under penalty of perjury that the entity does not use coercion for labor or services as defined in Section 787.06 of the Florida Statutes. The document must be executed with a signature, entity name, and title of the authorized representative, and subsequently notarized through either physical presence or online notarization. The notary public section requires documentation of the acknowledgment date, the individual's identity verification, and confirmation of oath administration.

This compliance affidavit is a prerequisite requirement for bid submission on Florida and related state drainage improvement projects with bid deadlines ranging from November 25, 2024, to May 9, 2025, depending on the specific jurisdiction. The document serves as a safeguard mechanism to ensure contractor compliance with human trafficking laws prior to contract award. No pricing, set-asides, or financial terms are addressed within the affidavit itself; rather, it functions as a mandatory certification that contractors must complete and submit as part of their bid packages alongside other required documentation such as bid bonds, insurance certificates, and project specifications.
