About this file

This is an Employment Eligibility Verification form issued by the School District of Manatee County, Florida, establishing mandatory compliance requirements for contractors and subcontractors engaged in goods and services provision. Effective January 1, 2021, all parties entering into contracts with the School District must register with and utilize the United States Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system to verify work authorization status of newly hired employees. The contractor must provide its E-Verify System Number on the form and certify that it does not hire unauthorized aliens. All subcontractors performing work on the contract must similarly comply with the E-Verify System requirement, with the contractor responsible for obtaining affidavits from subcontractors documenting their E-Verify registration or confirming they do not employ unauthorized workers. The contractor must maintain subcontractor affidavits and provide them to the School District upon request throughout the contract period.

The School District reserves the right to terminate any contract in which the contractor knowingly violates E-Verify requirements in good faith belief, which termination does not constitute a breach of contract. Upon discovery of subcontractor noncompliance, the contractor must immediately terminate its relationship with the noncompliant subcontractor. Contractors found in violation are liable for any additional costs incurred by the School District resulting from noncompliance, including expenses for service re-procurement and rebidding. Additionally, contractors whose contracts are terminated for E-Verify noncompliance will be barred from entering into other contracts with the School Board for a minimum of one year from the termination date.

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.
