Florida Statute 448.095 further provides that if a contractor enters into a <br />contract with a subcontractor, the subcontractor must provide the contractor with an <br />affidavit stating that the subcontractor does not employ, contract with, or subcontract <br />with an unauthorized alien. <br />In accordance with Florida Statute 448.095, all contractors doing business with the City <br />of Sunny Isles Beach are required to verify employee eligibility using the E-Verify system <br />for all existing and new employees hired by the contractor during the contract term. <br />Further, the contractor must also require and maintain the statutorily required affidavit of <br />its subcontractors. It is the responsibility of the awarded vendor to ensure compliance <br />with E-Verify requirements (as applicable). To enroll in E-Verify, employers should visit <br />the E-Verify website (https://www.e-verify.gov/employers/enrolling-in-e-verify) and <br />follow the instructions. The contractor must, as usual, retain the I-9 Forms for inspection. <br />2.19 PUBLIC RECORDS LAW <br />The City is subject to Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, “Public Records Law.” No claim of <br />confidentiality or proprietary information in all or any portion of a response will be honored unless <br />a specific exemption from the Public Law exists and is cited in the response.

Contractor acknowledges the <br />public shall have access at all reasonable times, to all documents and information pertaining to <br />City’s contracts, subject to the provisions of Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and agrees to allow <br />access by the City and the public to all documents subject to disclosures under applicable law.
