About this file

This affidavit document is required by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) pursuant to Florida Statute 287.138 for all proposers and contractors bidding on the Tree Trimming and Removal Services RFP 26040-RFP-MST. The affidavit must be completed and executed by an authorized representative of the bidding entity prior to contract award and certifies that the proposer and any entity with controlling interest do not meet the criteria for prohibition under Florida law. The document defines key terms including "controlling interest" (possession of power to direct management or policies, including entities with 25 percent or more voting interests or profit entitlement), "foreign country of concern" (the People's Republic of China, Russian Federation, Islamic Republic of Iran, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Republic of Cuba, Venezuelan regime of Nicolas Maduro, or Syrian Arab Republic), and "governmental entity" as it applies to HCPS contracting activities.

The affidavit requires the proposer's authorized representative to declare under penalties of perjury that the legal company name does not meet any criteria set forth in Florida Statute 287.138(2)(a)-(c), meaning the entity is not owned by a foreign country of concern government, does not have a foreign country of concern government with controlling interest, and is not organized under the laws of or headquartered in a foreign country of concern. Failure to submit this completed and executed affidavit will result in the rejection of the bid, proposal, or quote, making it a mandatory compliance document for all parties seeking to contract with HCPS for the tree trimming and removal services opportunity.

CONTRACTING WITH ENTITIES OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES OF CONCERN PROHIBITED AFFIDAVIT

The Contracting with Entities of Foreign Countries of Concern Prohibited Affidavit Form (“Form”) is required by § 287.138, Florida Statutes, which is deemed as being expressly incorporated into this Form.

“Controlling interest” means possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a company, whether through ownership of securities, by contract, or otherwise. A person or entity that directly or indirectly has the right to vote 25 percent or more of the voting interests of the company or is entitled to 25 percent or more of its profits is presumed to possess a controlling interest.

“Foreign country of concern” means the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Republic of Cuba, the Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro, or the Syrian Arab Republic, including any agency of or any other entity of significant control of such foreign country of concern.

(a) The entity is owned by the government of a foreign country of concern;

(b) The government of a foreign country of concern has a controlling interest in the entity; or

(c) The entity is organized under the laws of or has its principal place of business in a foreign country of concern.
