Anti-Human_Trafficking_Affidavit.pdf

This is an Anti-Human Trafficking Affidavit of Compliance form required by the State of Florida for the City of Gainesville's Acquisition and Maintenance of Affordable Housing Units contract opportunity. The affidavit must be completed and submitted by non-governmental vendors who are selected as contractors for this project. The document requires the contractor's authorized officer or representative to swear under penalty of perjury that the contracting entity does not use coercion for labor or services as defined in Section 787.06(13) of the Florida Statutes. The affidavit must be executed, renewed, or extended whenever a contract with the City is established, renewed, or extended, and requires notarization by a qualified notary public.

The affidavit serves as a compliance certification mechanism to ensure that all contractors adhere to Florida's anti-human trafficking provisions. Vendors must provide their legal name, the contractor's name, and the affiant's signature, along with the date of execution and notarization. This documentation is a mandatory requirement for participation in the City of Gainesville's affordable housing acquisition and maintenance initiative and protects the municipality from liability associated with contractors engaged in labor trafficking or coercion practices.
