About this file
This is an Employment Eligibility Verification form issued by the School District of Manatee County, Florida, establishing E-Verify compliance requirements for contractors and subcontractors engaged in the Lakewood Ranch High School HVAC Renovation project (SDMC No. 2026-01). The project scope encompasses complete campus-wide replacement of HVAC equipment, including chillers, pumps, boilers, air handling units, terminal units, and controls, excluding the newer science building, with interior painting and flooring repairs as required. Existing ductwork will be reused where practical. Proposals were due July 16, 2026, with a revision to the solicitation posted on July 20, 2026. The project requires architectural and engineering services to complete the renovation work.
Pursuant to Section 448.095, Florida Statutes, effective January 1, 2021, all contractors and subcontractors must register with and use the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system to verify work authorization status for newly hired employees. Contractors must provide their E-Verify System Number and certify that they do not hire unauthorized aliens. All subcontractors are required to comply with E-Verify requirements, with the contractor responsible for maintaining and providing subcontractor affidavits to the School District upon request. Noncompliance results in contract termination without constituting a breach of contract, with contractors barred from School Board contracts for at least one year following termination. The contractor may also be liable for additional costs incurred by the School District due to E-Verify noncompliance, including higher service costs and rebidding expenses.

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.
