Sec. 126.504. - Compliance; exemption.

To the extent permitted by applicable state or federal law, if a contractor fails to comply with the Form 4A Requirements, the City may withhold payments due under the contract until such contractor has complied with the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a contractor hires an Ex-Offender during the project and indicates the same on the Compliance Report, upon providing the City with satisfactory evidence of the hire, such contractor shall be exempt from performing the Form 4A Requirements for the remainder of the project term. For purposes of this subsection, "satisfactory evidence" shall include, without limitation, the contractor's payroll information and other information obtained from the Florida Department of Corrections website. The contractor shall include such satisfactory evidence of the Ex-Offender hire with the Compliance Report. (Ord. 2023-20-E , § 3)
