This Common Carrier Attestation form is required by Pinellas County, Florida for the Indigent Burial and Cremation Services contract opportunity (RFP 26-0292-RFP). The attestation requires authorized contractor representatives to certify compliance with Florida Statute 908.111 and 92.525, confirming that the contractor will not knowingly transport unauthorized aliens into Florida during the contract term, except to facilitate detention, removal, or departure. The form requires the contractor's authorized representative to provide their printed name, signature, date, Federal Work Authorization User Identification Number, and the specific name and contract number of the Pinellas County contract. The attestation must be executed under penalties of perjury, with the county reserving the right to terminate the contract for cause if any violation of this attestation is discovered during the contract performance period.

The Common Carrier Attestation is a compliance document that applies to contractors providing services that may involve transportation of persons, including funeral service providers handling body removal and transport operations. Contractors must certify their status as either a common carrier or non-carrier entity and acknowledge the specific immigration-related compliance requirements under Florida law. This attestation form serves as a legally binding declaration and represents one of several required compliance documents for the indigent burial and cremation services solicitation, alongside Foreign Countries of Concern Affidavits, Human Trafficking Affidavits, and HIPAA Business Associate Agreements. Failure to comply with the terms stated in this attestation constitutes grounds for immediate contract termination.
