About this file

This is an Employment Eligibility Verification requirement document for the School District of Manatee County, Florida, applicable to the Complete Architectural and Engineering Services contract for Tillman Elementary Campus Wide Renovation (SDMC 2025-09). The document establishes mandatory compliance with the E-Verify system as a condition of contract award and performance. All contractors and subcontractors must register with and use the United States Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system to verify work authorization status for newly hired employees. Contractors are required to provide their E-Verify System Number and attest that they do not hire unauthorized aliens as defined by Florida Statutes Section 448.095. Contractors must ensure all subcontractors comply with E-Verify requirements and maintain affidavits documenting subcontractor compliance, which must be provided to the School District upon request throughout the contract term.

The School District reserves the right to terminate any contract for noncompliance with E-Verify requirements in good faith belief that the contractor knowingly violated this section, and such termination is not considered a breach of contract. Contractors found in violation are liable for any additional costs incurred by the School District resulting from non-compliance, including higher service costs and rebidding expenses. Additionally, contractors terminated for E-Verify noncompliance will be barred from bidding on other School District contracts for a minimum of one year following termination. This requirement applies to all newly hired employees and subcontracted personnel hired during the contract performance period.

Employment Eligibility Verification (“E-VERIFY”)

By entering into a contract with the School District of Manatee County (a public employer in Florida) to provide goods or services in exchange for salary, wages or other renumeration, this section applies to verify employment eligibility. Therefore, pursuant to Section 448.095, Florida Statutes and beginning January 1, 2021, every public employer, Contractor and Subcontractor shall register with and use the United States Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify system, located at https://e-verify.uscis.gov/emp to verify the work authorization status of all newly hired employees. The Parties may not enter into a contract unless each party registers with and uses the federal E-Verify system.

The Contractor verifies its compliance with the E-Verify System by listing its E-Verify System Number on this document; by signature and submission of this contract, asserts it does not hire any employees, and it is not an unauthorized alien, as defined by this statute.

The Contractor will require all Subcontractors who work on this contract to use the E-Verify System for any subcontracted employees hired during this contract. The Contractor will verify Subcontractor’s compliance with an affidavit stating whether the Subcontractor uses the E-Verify System as evidenced by Subcontractor’s E-Verify System Number or that the Subcontractor is not an unauthorized alien and does not employ, contract with or subcontract with unauthorized aliens defined by this statute. The Contractor will maintain and provide the Subcontractor’s affidavits to the School District on request during this contract.

Termination: With good faith belief that the Contractor knowingly violated this section, the School District will terminate the contract. Further, with good faith believe that the Subcontractor knowingly violated this section, the School District will promptly notify the Contractor and the Contractor will immediately terminate the Contractor’s contract with the Subcontractor. A contract terminated for noncompliance with E-Verify is not a breach of contract and may not be considered as such.

To the extent required by applicable law, the Contractor is liable for any additional costs incurred by the School District resulting from a failure to comply with E-Verify. Additional costs may include but are not limited to higher costs for the same services and rebidding costs (if necessary). Likewise, the Contractor will be barred from any other contracts with the School Board for at least one year after the date the contract was terminated.
