About this file
The document is a Florida Trench Safety Act Certification and Disclosure Statement, which is a required form for contractors performing excavation work in Florida. The form acknowledges the federal excavation safety standards (29 C.F.R. Section 1926.650 Subpart P) as the interim state standard, and requires contractors to comply with all applicable excavation and trench safety standards. Contractors must disclose their trench safety measures, including the linear feet of trench excavation and associated costs, though these costs are for informational purposes only and do not guarantee additional compensation.
The form emphasizes that the disclosed costs do not fully represent the contractor's total obligation to comply with trench safety requirements. The county's acceptance of the bid does not validate the adequacy of the disclosed costs or relieve the contractor of sole responsibility for meeting safety standards. Contractors are required to provide additional funds at no extra cost to the county if necessary to ensure full compliance with the Florida Trench Safety Act. The form must be completed in full, with failure to do so potentially resulting in the bid being declared non-responsive.

FLORIDA TRENCH SAFETY ACT
CERTIFICATION AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
The undersigned acknowledges the requirements of the Florida Trench Safety Act (Section 553.60 et. seq. Florida Statutes).
A. The Bidder further acknowledges that the Florida Trench Safety Act, (the Act) establishes the Federal excavation safety standards set forth at 29 C.F.R. Section 1926.650 Subpart P, as the interim state standard until such time as the state of Florida, through its Department of Labor and Employment Security, or any successor agency, adopts, updates, or revises said interim standard. This State of Florida standard may be supplemented by special shoring requirements established by the State of Florida or any of its political subdivisions.
B. The Bidder, as Contractor, shall comply with all applicable excavation/trench safety standards.
C. The contractor shall consider the geotechnical data available from the County, if any, the Contractor's own sources, and all other relevant information in its design of the trench safety system to be employed on the subject Project. The Contractor acknowledges sole responsibilities for the selection of the data on which it relies in designing the safety system, as well as for the system itself.
D. The amounts that the Bidder has set forth for pipe installation includes the following excavation/trench safety measures and the linear feet of trench excavated under each safety measure. These units, costs, and unit values shall be disclosed solely for the purpose of compliance with procedural requirements of the Act. No adjustment to the Agreement Time or price shall be made for any difference in the actual number of linear feet of trench excavation, except as may be otherwise provided in these Contract Documents.

Bidder may use additional sheets as necessary to extend this form. Failure to complete the above may result in the bid being declared non-responsive.
A. The amount disclosed as the cost of compliance with the applicable trench safety requirements does not constitute the extent of the Contractor’s obligation to comply with said standards. The Contractor shall extend additional sums at no additional cost to the County, if necessary, to comply with the Act (except as otherwise be provided).
B. Acceptance of the bid to which this certification and disclosure applies in no way represents that the County or its representatives has evaluated and thereby determined that the above costs are adequate to comply with the applicable trench safety requirements nor does it in any way relieve the Contractor of its sole responsibility to comply with the applicable trench safety requirements.
