This is a Foreign Country of Concern Affidavit document related to the City of Cooper City, Florida's Comprehensive Fee Studies procurement. The affidavit serves as a required certification document for proposing consulting firms conducting multi-department fee and rate studies across five service areas: Water Utility Rate Study, Wastewater Utility Rate Study, Community Development Fee Study, Parks and Recreation Fee Study, and Finance Department Fire Rescue Fee and Cost Allocation Study. Qualified and experienced consulting firms may submit proposals for one, multiple, or all identified service areas, with the City reserving the right to award one or more contracts based on qualification and best interest determinations. Proposers must provide all necessary labor, personnel, supervision, professional services, materials, equipment, software, travel, and other resources required to complete the scope of services according to recognized professional standards and industry best practices.

This certification document is a standard compliance requirement for state and local government contracts in Florida and serves to verify that the contractor and its affiliates do not have prohibited relationships or business interests in designated foreign countries of concern. The affidavit must be completed and submitted as part of the proposal package to establish contractor eligibility and demonstrate adherence to government contracting regulations and procurement requirements.
