SWORN STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 287.133(3)(a)
FLORIDA STATUTES, ON PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES
PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES
Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) (a) of Section 287.133, Florida State Statutes - "A person or affiliate
who has been placed on the convicted vendor list following a conviction for a public entity crime may not submit a
Bid on a Contract to provide any goods or services to a public entity, may not submit a Bid on a Contract with a
public entity for the construction or repair of a public building or public Work, may not submit Bids on leases of
real property to a public entity, may not be awarded to perform Work as a Contractor, supplier, Sub-Contractor, or
Consultant under a Contract with any public entity, and may not transact business with any public entity in excess
of the threshold amount Category Two of Sec. 287.017, FS for thirty six months from the date of being placed on
the convicted vendor list".
THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC OR OTHER
OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS.
11.1. This sworn statement is submitted to City of Sunny Isles Beach _____________
by____________________________________________________________________________ [print individual’s name and title]
for____________________________________________________________________________ [print name of entity submitting sworn statement]
whose business address is:
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
and (if applicable) its Federal Employer Identification number (FEIN) is_____________________.
(If the entity had no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the individual signing this sworn
statement:_________________________________.)
11.2. I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(g), Florida Statutes, means a
violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of
business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with the
United States, including, but not limited to, any Bid or Contract for goods or services to be provided to any
public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state of the United States and involving
antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.
11.3. I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Para. 287.133(1)(b), Florida Statutes, means a
finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any
federal or state trail court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1,
1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non-jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.
11.4. I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Para. 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes, means:
a.) predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or
b.) Any entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity
and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers,
directors, executors, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in
the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling
interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair
DECEMBER 28, 2010
market value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prime facie case that one person
controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who
has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be
considered an affiliate.
11.5. I understand that a "person" as defined in Para. 287.133(1)(e), Florida Statutes, means any natural
person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to
enter into a binding Contract and which Bids or applies to Bid on Contracts for the provision of goods or
services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public
entity. The term "persons" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders,
employees, members, and agents who are active in management of any entity.
11.6. Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity
submitting this sworn statement. (Indicate which statement applies.)
____ Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of it's officers, directors, executives, partners,
shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, nor any
affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1,
1989.
____ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners,
shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an
affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1,
1989.
____ The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners,
shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an
affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1,
1989. However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of
Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order entered by the Hearing Officer of the
State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order entered by the Hearing Officer
determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this sworn statement on the
convicted vendor list. (Attach a copy of the final order.)
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUBMISSION OF THIS FORM TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER FOR THE
PUBLIC ENTITY IDENTIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 11.1 (ONE) ABOVE IS FOR THAT PUBLIC ENTITY ONLY AND,
THAT THIS FORM IS VALID THROUGH DECEMBER 31 OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH IT IS FILED. I
ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT I AM REQUIRED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ENTITY PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO
A CONTRACT IN EXCESS OF THE THRESHOLD AMOUNT PROVIDED IN SECTION 287.017, FLORIDA
STATUTES, FOR CATEGORY TWO OF ANY, CHANGE IN THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM.
