Attachment I - PUR 2024 Use of Coercion for Labor or Services.pdf

This is a compliance certification form issued by the Florida Department of Management Services for use in conjunction with ITB No. 26-81141805-ITB for Building Code Inspection Services. The form requires vendors executing, renewing, or extending contracts with the State of Florida to certify under penalties of perjury that their entity does not use coercion for labor or services as defined in Section 787.06 of the Florida Statutes. The certification must be completed and signed by an authorized officer or representative of the nongovernmental entity and submitted as part of the bid package. This mandatory compliance document is a prerequisite for all bidders responding to the statewide term contract opportunity, which involves multiple geographic regions and three primary service categories: Inspector positions (Building, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Roofing), Plans Examiner positions (Building, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Residential), and Building Code Administrator roles.

The form itself does not contain pricing information, set-asides, or funding details, as it serves solely as a certification mechanism to verify vendor compliance with Florida statutory requirements regarding forced labor practices. Submission of this completed attachment is a mandatory requirement for bid consideration and represents part of the comprehensive mandatory certifications vendors must provide, which also include verification of non-inclusion on various prohibited vendor lists and compliance with E-Verify and drug-free workplace requirements. The form provides spaces for the entity name, representative's printed name and title, signature, and date, but does not include any contingencies or conditional language regarding the certification.
