This item concerns a contract requirement for architects and their subcontractors to use the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system. This system is used to confirm the employment eligibility of new hires. The architect must ensure all new employees are verified, and they must also require any subcontractors to do the same for their new employees. This requirement applies during the term of the contract. This is a contractual obligation being reviewed. The work involves administrative compliance and verification processes. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out to the architect or relevant agencies early to understand how this requirement might affect their hiring and onboarding processes and to ensure compliance from the outset of any contract.
