Florida Trench Safety Act Form v.12.25.pdf

This is a Florida Trench Safety Act Compliance Form (v. 12.25) required for bidders responding to the Rapid Infiltration Basins (RIBS) Rehabilitation: Three-Year Phasing project in Florida. The form serves as a mandatory submission with all bid responses and requires bidders to acknowledge that all costs associated with compliance with Florida Statute 553.63 regarding trench safety are included in their total bid amount. The document provides a standardized template for bidders to itemize and summarize trench safety measures, including descriptions of safety measures, units of measure (linear feet or square yards), quantities, unit costs, and extended costs across eight line items (A through H).

This is not a pay item; rather, it is an informational document designed to ensure bidders have thoroughly considered and incorporated trench safety compliance costs into their overall project pricing. By completing this form, bidders certify their understanding of trench safety requirements under Florida law and confirm that associated expenses have been factored into their total bid submission. The form standardizes cost tracking and documentation for trench safety measures across all bids submitted for this project.
