About this file
This is an Employment Eligibility Verification form required by the School District of Manatee County (SDMC), a public employer in Florida, for all contractors and subcontractors providing goods or services. Pursuant to Section 448.095, Florida Statutes, all contractors must register with and use the United States Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system to verify work authorization status of newly hired employees. The form requires contractors to provide their E-Verify System Number and certify compliance with the E-Verify requirements. Contractors must ensure all subcontractors also use the E-Verify system and maintain affidavits documenting subcontractor compliance. The form is applicable to the Tillman Elementary Campus Wide Renovation project (SDMC 2025-09), a comprehensive architectural and engineering services solicitation with a submittal deadline of December 9, 2025 at 12:00 PM via VendorLink.
The E-Verify compliance requirement is mandatory for contract award and execution with SDMC. Contractors failing to comply with E-Verify requirements face contract termination without breach classification, potential liability for additional costs incurred by the School District (including higher service costs and rebidding expenses), and debarment from SDMC contracts for at least one year following termination. The School District reserves the right to terminate contracts upon good faith belief that a contractor knowingly violated E-Verify requirements, and contractors must immediately terminate subcontractors found in violation. This compliance certification applies to the estimated $31,000,000 Tillman Elementary renovation project, which includes approximately 30% federally funded components requiring additional federal compliance certifications and prevailing wage standards.

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.
