About this file

This is a Human Trafficking Affidavit required by the City of Lakeland, Florida in compliance with Section 787.06(14) of Florida Statutes for nongovernmental entities executing, renewing, or extending contracts with the municipality. The affidavit applies to the Annual Tree Pruning & Removal Services contract, which requires a qualified and experienced tree trimming contractor to provide supervision, labor, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies to support the City's urban forestry program. Services include pruning and removing trees and palms within the City's street rights-of-way, alleyways, parks, and other designated areas, with work potentially performed near energized power lines. The contractor must provide properly trained and equipped personnel capable of operating hydraulic lift trucks, with crews consisting of one crew leader and two groundsmen qualified in traffic control procedures. The contract shall be firm and valid through September 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewals available upon mutual consent.

The affidavit requires an authorized officer or representative of the contracting entity to attest under penalty of perjury that the nongovernmental entity and its subsidiaries or affiliates do not use coercion for labor or services as defined by Florida Statutes. The affiant must confirm personal knowledge of the facts stated and agree to immediately notify the City of Lakeland if any future use of coercion for labor or services occurs, which would preclude contract execution, renewal, or extension. The document requires notarization by physical presence or online notarization, with completion of company identification, authorized signature, printed name, date, title, and notary public acknowledgment and seal.
