The document is an E-Verify Certification Form issued by the City of Gainesville Procurement Division for a construction project involving a grocery development at 2100 SE Hawthorne Road. The form requires the contractor to comply with Section 448.095 of Florida Statutes, specifically mandating that if awarded the contract, the contractor must register with and use the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system to verify the work authorization status of all new employees during the term of the agreement. Additionally, the contractor must require subcontractors to follow the same E-Verify verification process for their new employees.

The form serves as a certification that the bidder will fully comply with the E-Verify requirements, with the understanding that the statute must be consistently applied with applicable federal laws and regulations. The document provides space for an authorized representative to sign, print their name, and indicate their title, demonstrating their commitment to adhering to the work authorization verification process. This certification is a standard requirement for contractors bidding on the City of Gainesville's grocery development project, ensuring legal compliance with employment verification standards.
