About this file

This is a Commercial Non-Discrimination Certification document required by Palm Beach County, Florida for proposers responding to solicitations. The certification applies to the CEI Continuing Professional Services contract opportunity and mandates that proposers confirm compliance with the County's Commercial Nondiscrimination Policy as established in Resolution 2025-0748. Proposers must certify that they have considered all qualified potential subconsultants, subcontractors, and suppliers without discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, ancestry, sex, age, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, disability, or genetic information. The certification further prohibits discrimination in the solicitation, selection, or commercial treatment of vendors, suppliers, and customers, as well as retaliation against any person or entity reporting discriminatory incidents.

As a condition of proposal submission, proposers must disclose all instances within the preceding four years where a final adjudicated determination was made in Florida that the proposer discriminated against subconsultants, subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, or commercial customers, including a description of the complaint status, resolution, and any remedial actions taken. False certification constitutes grounds for proposal rejection and contract termination. The proposer must provide the firm name, authorized representative signature, printed name and title, and date of submission on the certification form. Compliance with the Commercial Nondiscrimination Policy is mandatory for all proposers submitting responses to Palm Beach County solicitations.

PALM BEACH COUNTY COMMERCIAL NON-DISCRIMINATION CERTIFICATION

Project: _________________________________________

PROJECT # ____________

The undersigned Proposer hereby certifies and agrees that the following information is correct:

In preparing its response to this Solicitation, the Proposer has considered all proposals submitted from qualified, potential Subconsultants/Subcontractors and suppliers, and has not engaged in "discrimination" as defined in the County’s Commercial Nondiscrimination Policy as set forth in Resolution 2025-0748 as amended, to wit: discrimination in the solicitation, selection or commercial treatment of any Subconsultant/Subcontractor, vendor, supplier or commercial customer on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, ancestry, sex, age, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, disability, or genetic information, or on the basis of any otherwise unlawful use of characteristics regarding the vendor's, supplier's or commercial customer's employees or owners; provided that nothing in this policy shall be construed to prohibit or limit otherwise lawful efforts to remedy the effects of discrimination that have occurred or are occurring in the County’s relevant marketplace of Palm Beach County. Without limiting the foregoing, "discrimination" also includes retaliating against any person or other entity for reporting any incident of "discrimination."

Without limiting any other provision of the solicitation, it is understood and agreed that, if this certification is false, such false certification will constitute grounds for the County to reject the proposal submitted by the Proposer for this Solicitation, and to terminate any contract awarded based on the response.

As part of its proposal, the Proposer shall provide to the County a list of all instances within the immediate past four (4) years where there has been a final adjudicated determination in a legal or administrative proceeding in the State of Florida that the Proposer discriminated against its Subconsultants/Subcontractors, vendors, suppliers or commercial customers, and a description of the status or resolution of that complaint, including any remedial action taken.

As a condition of submitting a proposal to the County, the Proposer agrees to comply with the County’s Commercial Nondiscrimination Policy as described in Resolution 2025-0748 as amended.
