About this file
This is a Vendor Affidavit regarding the Use of Coercion for Labor and Services required by Hillsborough County Public Schools in connection with a Plumbing Services Request for Proposal (RFP 25-200-RFP-MST) in Florida. The affidavit mandates that all nongovernmental contractors executing, renewing, or extending contracts with HCPS must provide a signed certification under penalty of perjury stating compliance with Florida Statutes Section 787.06(13), which prohibits human trafficking and labor coercion. The RFP seeks qualified contractors to provide comprehensive plumbing services across three geographical areas in the Tampa Bay region, including general repairs, emergency services, gas line work, leak detection, water heater and boiler services, sewer line repairs, and surface restoration. Contractors must hold a valid Florida Plumbing license and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage. Questions regarding the solicitation are accepted until October 27, 2025, with final proposals due on November 10, 2025. The initial contract term follows School Board approval with potential automatic renewals for up to four additional one-year periods.
The affidavit requires authorized company representatives to certify that the contractor does not engage in prohibited labor coercion practices, including use of physical force, unlawful restraint or confinement, debt bondage, document confiscation, financial harm threats, fraud-based enticement, or provision of controlled substances for exploitation. Evaluation criteria include 30% for qualifications and experience, 25% for specifications and scope of work, and 35% for cost and best value, with additional points available for Small Business Enterprise (SBE) utilization. Estimated annual usage includes 6,400 standard labor hours and 466 overtime hours, with a cost-plus markup not exceeding 15% for as-needed services. The pricing sheet allows for competitive lump sum pricing on larger projects, with most projects anticipated under $10,000. Vendors must complete mandatory forms including Vendor Registration, Foreign Countries of Concern Affidavit, and Human Trafficking Prevention Affidavit, and submit pricing and bids electronically via VendorLink.com.
