Common Carrier Attestation - Pinellas County Indigent Burial and Cremation Services

This is a Common Carrier Attestation form required by Pinellas County, Florida, for the Indigent Burial and Cremation Services contract (RFP 26-0292-RFP). The attestation mandates that contractors comply with Florida Statute 92.525 and Section 908.111, confirming they will not knowingly transport unauthorized aliens into Florida during the contract term, except to facilitate detention, removal, or departure. The document applies to any person, firm, or corporation that undertakes transportation services for hire as a regular business. An authorized contractor representative must execute the attestation under penalty of perjury, providing signature, printed name, date, Federal Work Authorization User Identification Number, and the Pinellas County contract name and number. The contract term spans five years from the date of award with no renewal options specified in the documentation.

The County reserves the right to terminate the agreement for cause if the contractor violates the Common Carrier Attestation. This requirement is one of several compliance mandates bidders must satisfy, including submission of Foreign Countries of Concern Affidavits, Human Trafficking Affidavits, and HIPAA Business Associate Agreements. The attestation form serves as a contractual safeguard aligned with Florida's immigration compliance statutes and must be completed as part of the overall bid submission process. No specific pricing, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding sources are addressed within the attestation document itself, though the overall contract includes an annual funding estimate not exceeding $550,000 with pricing capped at $30,000 total annual bid amount.
