The School Board of Broward County, Florida, (SBBC) entered into an agreement with MorphoTrust USA, Inc., to provide a turn-key solution for fingerprinting and badging services for vendors, consultants, contractors, aftercare workers, and construction workers (non-employees).
Section 1012.467, Florida Statute, was amended on July 1, 2013, requiring the Florida Department of Education to create a uniform, statewide identification badge that is to be worn by non-instructional contractors signifying that a contractor has met the screening requirements of this section. Section 1012.467, Florida Statute, addresses non-instructional contractors who are permitted access to school grounds when students are present, whose performance of the contract with the school or School Board is not anticipated to result in direct contact with students, and for whom any unanticipated contact would be infrequent and incidental.
Additionally, the statute indicates that the uniform, statewide identification badge be valid for a period of five (5) years, as compared to the annual expiration of a contractor badge issued by this District under Section 1012.465, Florida Statute. Both sections, 1012.465 and 1012.467, Florida Statutes, deal with the background screening of contractors; however, each statute identifies a separate contractor type. Aside from the disqualifying offenses, the difference between the two contractor types is that one contractor is not anticipated to result in direct contact with students, and for whom any unanticipated contact would be infrequent and incidental, and the other contractor has direct contact with students, or has access to, or control of, school funds. Finally, Section 1012.467, Florida Statute, required the Florida Department of Education to establish a uniform cost that a school district may charge a non-instructional contractor for receipt of the identification badge.
On July 18, 2013, the Florida Department of Education issued a Technical Assistance Paper outlining the specifications and maximum price for the uniform, statewide identification badge. Due to the addition of the uniform, statewide badge, maximum allowable fee, and necessary modifications to the current solution, Attachment A of the Third Amendment to the Agreement, ?Pricing Schedule?, has been modified to accommodate these changes.
The original Agreement was approved by the Board on December 15, 2009, the First Amendment to the Agreement was executed on or around April 17, 2012, and the Second Amendment to Agreement was approved on May 7, 2013.
There is no financial impact to the District.
