fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentations.
I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 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 trial 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.
4. I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes,
means:
a. A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or
b. An 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, executives, 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 market
value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prima 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

CONTRACT PAYNiENT REQUIREMENTS
Florida Department of Financial Services, Reference Guide for State Expenditures
Cost Reimbursement Contracts
Invoices for cost reimbursement contracts must be supported by an itemized listing of expenditures by
category (salary, travel, expenses, etc.). Supporting documentation shall be submitted for each amount for
which reimbursement is being claimed indicating that the item has been paid. Documentation for each
amount for which reimbursement is being claimed must indicate that the item has been paid. Check
numbers may be provided in lieu of copies of actual checks. Each piece of documentation should clearly
reflect the dates of service. Only expenditures for categories in the approved agreement budget may be
reimbursed. These expenditures must be allowable (pursuant to law) and directly related to the services
being provided.
Listed below are types and examples of supporting documentation for cost reimbursement agreements:
(1) Salaries: A payroll register or similar documentation should be submitted. The payroll register
should show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an individual
for whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document reflecting the hours
worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable.
(2) Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on
behalf of the employee (e.g., insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that fringe
benefits will be based on a specified percentage rather than the actual cost of fringe benefits, then
the calculation for the fringe benefits amount must be shown.
Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies of checks
for fringe benefits.
(3) Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with Section 112.061, Florida
Statutes, which includes submission of the claim on the approved State travel voucher or electronic
means.
(4) Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts. If
nonexpendable property is purchased using State funds, the contract should include a provision
for the transfer of the property to the State when services are terminated. Documentation must be
provided to show compliance with Department of Management Services Rule 60A-1.017, Florida
Administrative Code, regarding the requirements for contracts which include services and that
provide for the contractor to purchase tangible personal property as defined in Section 273.02,
Florida Statutes, for subsequent transfer to the State.
(5) In-house charges:Charges which may be of an internal nature (e.g., postage, copies, etc.) may
be reimbursed on a usage log which shows the units times the rate being charged. The rates must
be reasonable.
(6) Indirect costs:lf the contract specifies that indirect costs will be paid based on a specified rate,
then the calculation should be shown.
Contracts between state agencies, and or contracts between universities may submit alternative
documentation to substantiate the reimbursement request that may be in the form of FLAIR reports
or other detailed reports.
