Common use of Background Screening Requirements Clause in Contracts

Background Screening Requirements. In accordance with the requirements of Sections, 1012.465, 1012.32, and 1012.467, Florida Statutes, School Board Policies 6320 and 8475, as amended from time to time Bidder agrees that, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives remuneration for services, Bidder and all of its employees who provide or may provide services under this Agreement will complete criminal history checks, and all background screening requirements, including level 2 screening requirements as outlined in the above-referenced Statutes and School Board policies prior to providing services to The School Board of Miami-Dade County, Florida. Additionally, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that each of its employees, representatives, agents, subcontractors or suppliers who are permitted access on school grounds when students are present, who have direct contact with students or who have access to or control of school funds must meet level 2 screening requirements as described in the above-referenced Statutes and School Board policies. Pursuant to the 2007 amendments to the JLA enacted by the Florida Legislature, requirements for certain fingerprinting and criminal history checks shall be inapplicable to non-instructional contracted personnel who qualify for exemption from level 2 screening requirements as provided under § 1012.468, Fla. Stat. (2007). In addition, the provisions of § 1012.467, Fla. Stat. (2007) are incorporated herein by reference, and any provisions of this Addendum that may be inconsistent with, contrary to, or determined to be in conflict with § 1012.467, will be superseded by said ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. A non-instructional contractor who is exempt from the screening requirements set forth in § 1012.465, § 1012.468 or § 1012.467, Florida Statutes, is subject to a search of his or her name or other identifying information against the registration information regarding sexual predators and sexual offenders maintained by the Department of Law Enforcement under § 943.043 and the national sex offender public registry maintained by the United States Department of Justice. Bidder will not be charged for this search. Further, upon obtaining clearance by Board, if Board deems necessary, Board will issue a photo identification badge which shall be worn by the individual at all times while on Board property when students are present. Bidder agrees to bear any and all costs associated with acquiring the required background screening - including any costs associated with fingerprinting and obtaining the required photo identification badge. Bidder agrees to require all its affected employees to sign a statement, as a condition of employment with Bidder in relation to performance under this Agreement, agreeing that the employee will abide by the heretofore described background screening requirements, and also agreeing that the employee will notify the Bidder/Employer of any arrest(s) or conviction(s) of any offense enumerated in School Board Policies 6320 and 8475 within 48 hours of its occurrence. Bidder agrees to provide the Board with a list of all of its employees who have completed background screening as required by the above-referenced statutes and who meet the statutory requirements contained therein. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it has an ongoing duty to maintain and update these lists as new employees are hired and in the event that any previously screened employee fails to meet the statutory standards. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ further agrees to notify the Board immediately upon becoming aware that one of its employees who was previously certified as completing the background check and meeting the statutory standards is subsequently arrested or convicted of any disqualifying offense. Failure by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to notify the Board of such arrest or conviction within 48 hours of being put on notice and within 5 business days of the occurrence of qualifying arrest or conviction, shall constitute grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement by the Board. The parties further agree that failure by Bidder to perform any of the duties described in this section shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement entitling the Board to terminate this Agreement immediately with no further responsibility to make payment or perform any other duties under this Agreement.
