About this file

This is a Human Trafficking Attestation form required by Section 787.06 of the Florida Statutes for contracts executed, renewed, or extended between nongovernmental entities and Volusia County, Florida. The attestation applies to the Corrosion Inhibitor contract (Contract Number 26-B-60LS) for Volusia County Water Resources & Utilities, which requires a chemical product to control copper and lead concentrations in potable water supplied to multiple water treatment plants including the Southwest Interconnect system (comprising four separate facilities), Spruce Creek Fly-In WTP, and Halifax Plantation WTP.

The nongovernmental entity executing this contract must provide a signed affidavit under penalty of perjury certifying that it does not use coercion for labor or services. Coercion is defined broadly under Florida law to include physical force, restraint, debt bondage, document confiscation, financial harm, fraud, and provision of controlled substances for exploitation purposes. The contractor must immediately notify Volusia County if any coercive labor practices occur at any time during the contract term, and failure to comply may result in contract termination and prevent future contract execution, renewal, or extension between the parties.

The Nongovernmental Entity acknowledges that Section 787.06(14), Florida Statutes, provides that when a contract is executed, renewed, or extended between a nongovernmental entity and a governmental entity, the nongovernmental entity must provide the governmental entity with an affidavit signed by an officer or a representative of the nongovernmental entity under penalty of perjury attesting that the nongovernmental entity does not use coercion for labor or services. For purposes of this requirement, “labor” means work of economic or financial value and “services” means any act committed at the behest of, under the supervision of, or for the benefit of another. The term, “services” includes, but is not limited to, forced marriage, servitude, or the removal of organs.

Coercion includes, without limitation, using or threatening to use physical force against any person; restraining, isolating, or confining or threatening to restrain, isolate, or confine any person without lawful authority and against her or his will; using lending or other credit methods to establish a debt by any person when labor or services are pledged as a security for the debt, if the value of the labor or services as reasonably assessed is not applied toward the liquidation of the debt, the length and nature of the labor or services are not respectively limited and defined; destroying, concealing, removing, confiscating, withholding, or possessing any actual or purported passport, visa, or other immigration document, or any other actual or purported government identification document, of any person; causing or threatening to cause financial harm to any person; enticing or luring any person by fraud or deceit; or providing a controlled substance as outlined in Schedule I or Schedule II of Section 893.03, Florida Statutes, to any person for the purpose of exploitation of that person.

This signed attestation is provided to the Governmental Entity to comply with the statutory requirement.

If, at any time in the future, the Nongovernmental Entity does use coercion for labor or services, the Nongovernmental Entity will immediately notify the Governmental Entity and no contracts may be executed, renewed, or extended between the parties.

This attestation is made for the benefit of, and reliance by, the Governmental Entity.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have read the foregoing statement and that the facts stated in it are true.
