This is an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization Form issued by the Clay County Clerk of Court and Comptroller in Florida for use by individuals, businesses, and vendors conducting transactions with Clay County. The form authorizes Clay County and the payee's designated financial institution to initiate electronic credit entries and, when necessary, debit entries and adjustments related to erroneous credits. The authorization remains in effect until the vendor submits written cancellation to the Comptroller Department. Vendors must provide complete banking information including the financial institution name, account type (checking, savings, or other), routing/ABA transit number, and account number. The form requires authorized signature and date of execution, and vendors are instructed to notify the Comptroller Department immediately if their bank account is closed or changed.

This form is ancillary to Clay County's Request for Bids for Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services for the SUN Trail project along Old Jennings Road and Long Bay Road, an FDOT-funded project. The EFT form would be required from the selected engineering firm as part of standard vendor onboarding procedures to facilitate electronic payment of contract invoices. Prospective bidders are prohibited from contacting County officials, board members, or evaluation committee members during the bid period, with exceptions only for formal inquiries submitted through the Purchasing Department, pre-bid conferences, or formal presentations to the evaluation committee. All bidder inquiries must be submitted through the designated Question and Answer tab in the Request for Bids documentation.
