Agenda 10/13/2020 Item #16A27 (RPS #20-7795R - Capital Consulting Solutions, Inc.)10/13/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the selection committee’s ranking and authorize staff to enter into
contract negotiations with Capital Consulting Solutions, LLC, for Request for Professional Services
(“RPS”) No. 20-7795R, Design Criteria for Tiger IX Grant Project (Immokalee Complete Streets).
OBJECTIVE: Recommendation to approve the selection committee’s ranking and authorize staff to
enter into contract negotiations with Capital Consulting Solutions, LLC, concerning RPS No. 20-7795R,
“Design Criteria for Tiger IX Grant Project,” so that a proposed agreement can be brought back for the
Board’s consideration at a subsequent meeting.
CONSIDERATIONS: In May 2018, the County learned that it was being awarded the 2017 TIGER IX
discretionary grant for the “Immokalee Complete Streets - Growing Connections to Create Mobility
Opportunities Project (“TIGER Project”).” The TIGER project is designed to grow the existing pedestrian
network by providing new facilities to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians where none currently
exist. By expanding the small network of pedestrian and bicycle routes, the TIGER Project will more than
double the number of current facilities in the area and provide enhanced transportation options to
education, jobs, and other essential services for Immokalee residents.
On July 14, 2020, the Board approved the 2017 TIGER IX Discretionary Grant Agreement and
Accompanying Resolution, sponsored by the United States Department of Transportation, for the
Immokalee Complete Streets - Growing Connections to Create Mobility Opportunities Project, in the
amount of $16,415,864 (Agenda Item #16A13).
On August 3, 2020, the United States Department of Transportation executed the 2017 TIGER IX
Discretionary Grant Agreement for the Immokalee Complete Streets - Growing Connections to Create
Mobility Opportunities Project.
On September 11, 2020, the Procurement Services Division released notices for RPS No. 20-7795R,
Design Criteria and Lighting Justification Study, for the 2017 Tiger IX Grant Project. The County
notified 27,776 firms, 70 firms viewed the solicitation, and staff received one (1) proposal from Capital
Consulting Solutions, LLC, before the October 1, 2020 response deadline.
Notably, the County previously advertised this solicitation on August 4, 2020, and similarly received only
one proposal. Staff also conducted outreach in an effort to obtain additional proposals. Ultimately, the
Procurement Services Division re-advertised the solicitation as noted in the above paragraph, which again
resulted in receiving only one proposal.
The Selection Committee convened on October 5, 2020, and determined that the sole respondent, Capital
Consulting Solutions, LLC’s, is responsive and responsible and found them to be the top ranked and
recommended firm. Therefore, staff is requesting authority to begin contract negotiations with Capital
Consulting Solutions, LLC to prepare a Design Criteria and Lighting Justification Study, which is
required to prepare the preliminary plans and a scope for the subsequent ‘Design-Build’ construction of
this project.
Subject to the Board’s approval of staff’s recommendation, staff will begin contract negotiations in
accordance with the Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act, Florida Statutes § 287.055, with Capital
Consulting Solutions, LLC, so that a proposed negotiated agreement can be brought back for the Board’s
consideration at a future meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for the subsequent contract is available within Transportation Capital Fund
(310). A budget amendment will be required to transfer funding within Transportation Capital Fund (310)
to Project 33563 and will be included with a future agenda item for contract approval.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The project is in conformance with the goals and objectives of
the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for Board approval. -SRT
RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation to approve the selection committee’s ranking and authorize
staff to enter into contract negotiations with Capital Consulting Solutions, LLC, concerning RPS No. 20-
7795R, “Design Criteria for Tiger IX Grant Project,” so that a proposed agreement can be brought back
for the Board’s consideration at a future meeting.

INTRODUCTION
As requested by the Transportation Engineering Division (hereinafter, the “Division or Department”), the Collier County Board of
County Commissioners Procurement Services Division (hereinafter, “County”) has issued this Request for Professional Services
(hereinafter, “RPS”) with the intent of obtaining proposals from interested and qualified Consultants in accordance with the terms,
conditions and specifications stated or attached. The Consultant, at a minimum, must achieve the requirements of the
Specifications or Scope of Work stated.
The Division is planning to solicit the Design-Build for the TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) IX
Grant: Immokalee Complete Streets – Growing Connections to Create Mobility Opportunities (hereinafter referred to as “TIGER”)
Project, in accordance with Fla. Stat. §287.055(9). Prior to soliciting the TIGER Project, the Division needs to develop the Design
Criteria Package (hereinafter referred to as “DCP”), including a Lighting Justification Report (hereinafter referred to as “LJR”) via
the Lighting Justification Study (hereinafter referred to as “LJS”).
The purpose of this RPS is to hire a Consultant to develop a DCP and provide other consultation services for the TIGER Project.
Note: The Consultant selected to develop the DCP and LJR is not eligible to render services under the Design Build
contract executed for the TIGER Project. This restriction does not apply to subconsultants.
BACKGROUND
The Immokalee community is an unincorporated area surrounded by agricultural lands in rural Collier County, Florida. The town’s
small size and tightknit streets make it conducive to getting around by walking, transit, or cycling.
Many neighborhoods and major corridors were built before codes required pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastructure. While
efforts have been undertaken to add multi-modal options to major thoroughfares, most local streets still lack basic pedestrian
infrastructure while bicycle infrastructure is non-existent. Many of the local streets also lack street lighting and experience frequent
flooding due to inadequate stormwater infrastructure.
The purpose of the TIGER Project is to retrofit, within the existing rights-of-way, with improve access to reliable, safe, and
affordable transportation for this rural community, improve infrastructure conditions, address public health and safety, promote
regional connectivity, and facilitate economic growth and competitiveness.
The TIGER Project is located in the state road 29 triangle area (Main St., N. 15th St., and New Market Rd.) in Immokalee and on
Stockade Rd. at the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Tribal Land (See attached location map).
1. DCP: The Consultant shall develop specific performance criteria for the Project. The DCP shall also clearly state any
requirements for packaging submittals and backup information that the Division may desire in order to avoid incomplete
submittals. The DCP should also define the shop drawing review (routing) process. These DCP plan content requirements
include, but not limited to location, alignment, project limits, prescribe typical section elements, design controls and criteria,
controlling roadway and traffic design standard, bicycle and pedestrian design including ADA requirements, drainage, bus
stops, bus transfer facility, stormwater management retention, and disposal, permitting services, environmental assessment
services, structural design, signing and pavement marking, lighting, landscaping, material quality standards, cost estimates,
design and construction schedules, identification of all Utility Agency Owners, utility provisions for water and wastewater,
surveying, geotechnical exploration, right-of-way provisions, and technical specifications.
2. Lighting Justification Study (LJS): The purpose of the LJS is to analyze the existing lighting system and determine where
improvements are needed throughout the project limits. As part of the LJS, the Consultant shall develop the LJR, which will be
incorporated into the DCP. The Consultant will also prepare an estimate of cost for installation and future operation and
maintenance of the proposed lighting system. Due to operation and maintenance costs are based on millage collected, public
assessment of any proposed increase must be evaluated.

The Immokalee community is an unincorporated area surrounded by agricultural lands in rural Collier County, Florida. The town’ssmall size and tightknit streets make it conducive to getting around by walking, transit, or cycling.Many neighborhoods and major corridors were built before codes required pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastruc-ture. Whileeorts have been undertaken to add multi-modal options to major thoroughfares, most local streets still lack basic pedestrianinfrastructure while bicycle infrastructure is non-existent. Many of the local streets also lack street lighting and experience frequentooding due to inadequate stormwater infrastructure.The purpose of the TIGER Project is to retrot, within the existing rights-of-way, with improve access to reliable, safe, andaordable transportation for this rural community, improve infrastructure conditions, address public health and safety, promoteregional connectivity, and facilitate economic growth and competitiveness.The TIGER Project is located in the SR 29 triangle area (Main St., N. 15th St., and New Market Rd.) in Immokalee and on StockadeRd. at the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Tribal Land (See attached location map).1.

The Immokalee community is an unincorporated area surrounded by agricultural lands in rural Collier County, Florida. The town’ssmall size and tightknit streets make it conducive to getting around by walking, transit, or cycling.Many neighborhoods and major corridors were built before codes required pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastruc-ture. Whileeorts have been undertaken to add multi-modal options to major thoroughfares, most local streets still lack basic pedestrianinfrastructure while bicycle infrastructure is non-existent. Many of the local streets also lack street lighting and experience frequentooding due to inadequate stormwater infrastructure.The purpose of the TIGER Project is to retrot, within the existing rights-of-way, with improve access to reliable, safe, andaordable transportation for this rural community, improve infrastructure conditions, address public health and safety, promoteregional connectivity, and facilitate economic growth and competitiveness.The TIGER Project is located in the SR 29 triangle area (Main St., N. 15th St., and New Market Rd.) in Immokalee and on StockadeRd. at the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Tribal Land (See attached location map).1.

The results of this analysis, and the institutional knowledge of the City staff, will be used to identify the areas of concerns for BMP Alternative Analysis.
The BMP alternative analysis looked at the flood reduction projects that will be sustainable and also resilient to future conditions.
Phase II of the project is also underway, which includes updating the entire City of St. Petersburg watershed, including 26 separate basins. The update
will follow a similar approach as Basin C, however, the models will be developed in ICPR4. Along with the 26 basins, the boundary interactions with the
other Pinellas County watersheds will be evaluated. Phase II will include watershed evaluation, model development, floodplain analysis, and alternative
analysis tasks. Public involvement is an important component in the project, and the City and Jacobs team planning a comprehensive public involvement
right from the start to end of the project.
As a part of the Masterplan, we are preparing a management plan for Crescent Lake, a highly modified 20-acre stormwater lake that receives and detains
stormwater from a large portion of the northeast St. Petersburg watershed before it discharges to Coffee Pot Bayou. Driven by regulatory pressure to
reduce nutrient loads and the City’s desire to improve stormwater quality, we’re preparing a plan to demonstrate concepts for stormwater improvement
for Crescent lake that can be adapted to other lakes and ponds. Improvements being evaluated include hypolimnetic oxygenation, installing floating
wetlands, improving littoral zone vegetative communities, chemical treatments, and destratification approaches that, coupled with treatment methods,
may provide water quality benefits to Crescent Lake and Coffee Pot Bayou.
Jacobs is also evaluating innovative solutions to more reliably and sustainably manage complex flood and water quality issues, including the use of
injection wells and potentially developing new potable water sources with excess runoff to capture and store fresh water inland versus discharging it to
nutrient limited estuaries.
RWA Past Performance
Lee MPO Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan
Client: Lee County Completed: 2011
RWA led a team comprised of professionals to develop Lee County’s first comprehensive bicycle and
pedestrian master plan. This project was awarded the 2011 ULI Sustainability Impact Award for promoting
alternative modes of transportation, complete streets and compact communities.
This project entailed extensive data collection and analysis, public involvement, and development of a needs
plan, project evaluation methodology and an implementation plan. As part of the project, the consultant team
had to closely coordinate with Lee County and all municipalities within the County in order to ensure uniform
data and the development of countywide bike/ped priorities. The final cost of this project was approximately
$200
Collier Area Transit (CAT) Intermodal Transfer Station
Client: Collier County Completed: Ongoing
The RWA project for the Transit Intermodal Transfer Station will be an infill facility at the existing Government
Center Courthouse Annex Parking Garage. This facility will provide a busway with turn-around, six saw-tooth
configured bus berths, passenger platform and amenities, administrative offices and will be the first LEED certified
project for Collier County government.
The site selection component of this project was an integral part of the site planning exercise conducted by RWA
and in conjunction with PBS&J, the project architect. Several project site alternatives within the project parcel
were reviewed and given consideration in the areas of; the overall building program, alignment with LEED certification goals, impacts to existing
underground infrastructure and retention pond, stormwater management complications that were overall government complex related and off site
access for the bus traffic and operations. Close coordination of all team members was needed to complete the site selection within the parameters
desired by the client. This project is still currently in progress. The original budget for this project is $$4.4M
Bonita Trail Feasibility Study
Client: Bonita Springs Completed: 2010
RWA worked with the City of Bonita Springs on the development of a preliminary feasibility study for an off-road,
multi-use trail in Bonita Springs. The intent of the study is to explore the feasibility of locating the trail within the
existing FPL corridor. As part of this study RWA analyzed existing conditions, identified trail development
challenges and opportunities, and will outlined the process needed to design, permit, and build the trail facility.
The final cost of this project was $25,000.
Collier MPO—Immokalee Walkable Community Study
Client: Collier County Completed: 2011
RWA assisted the Collier MPO on completing the Walkable Community Study for Immokalee. RWA’s scope
included the review, revision and update of the study and managed the review and approval of the final report.

The Immokalee community is an unincorporated area surrounded by agricultural lands in rural Collier County, Florida. The town’ssmall size and tightknit streets make it conducive to getting around by walking, transit, or cycling.Many neighborhoods and major corridors were built before codes required pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastruc-ture. Whileeorts have been undertaken to add multi-modal options to major thoroughfares, most local streets still lack basic pedestrianinfrastructure while bicycle infrastructure is non-existent. Many of the local streets also lack street lighting and experience frequentooding due to inadequate stormwater infrastructure.The purpose of the TIGER Project is to retrot, within the existing rights-of-way, with improve access to reliable, safe, andaordable transportation for this rural community, improve infrastructure conditions, address public health and safety, promoteregional connectivity, and facilitate economic growth and competitiveness.The TIGER Project is located in the SR 29 triangle area (Main St., N. 15th St., and New Market Rd.) in Immokalee and on StockadeRd. at the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Tribal Land (See attached location map).1.

Project Approach: Management Plan
First and foremost, it is our belief that good communication is key to the success of any project. This is especially true
when designing a federally funded project through USDOT TIGER IX Grant, and making sure the requirements that
are placed upon the Local Agency are satisfied. We pride ourselves on quick and immediate responses to your needs
or concerns. Not only will you be able to contact us at any time, but we will not hesitate to contact you as soon as any
information pertaining to the project needs to be relayed. While working with you, your interests and project budget are
our main priority. To get the project started on the right foot, it is imperative to have a comprehensive scoping meeting
or kick-off meeting to gather all the information pertaining this project. At this meeting, all project issues, requirements,
schedule constraints and budget limitations are brought to the table. From this discussion, a comprehensive scope of
services is developed that ensures everyone’s duties are clearly defined and all expectations are consistent. We also
understand that time needs to be built into the schedule to allow multiple agency reviews of the design documents at
various stages of completion. We have developed a plan for this project that will allow us to conduct the project in
accordance with the requirements specified in the Scope of Services.
On federally funded projects, it is imperative that protocol is followed and all Federal, State, and County paperwork is
in proper order. For each of these work orders, we will strive to function as an extension of County staff. In doing so,
we will facilitate the overall process and help ensure the conditions of the TIGER GRANT agreements are met. Our
initial focus on each project will be to meet with both the County, USDOT, and FDOT staff to reiterate the timetable of
project design submittals. Once a work order is accepted and the Notice to Proceed (NTP) is issued, Adam Ahmad
will immediately request a project kick-off meeting between Collier County, USDOT, and other relevant team members
to make certain the project objective and schedule is clearly defined. A complete description of project approach is
provided below.
Proven Project Organization Ensures Successful Project Delivery
Our team is organized to provide Collier County with a single point of contact – Adam Ahmad, PE., AICP,
will serve as the Capital Team Project Manager and the Project-Point-of -Contact. He has been the Project
Manager, Lead Engineer, and Engineer-of-Record on numerous projects for Collier County. With over 15 years of
design and management experience, he will oversee the daily activities to make sure that Collier County’s goals
are achieved.
The Capital Team will approach the design of the project focused on delivering the most cost-effective solutions
and engineering design. The Capital team is organized to accommodate the county’s goals, schedule, and budget.
Project Manager Adam Ahmad will streamline communications, making Capital, as prime, responsible for your
satisfaction with our team’s service and work products. Our team members have worked together on numerous
similar projects and will bring a coordinated, team-oriented approach to these assignments. The diversity and depth
of our team, shown in our organizational chart, make it possible for us to respond quickly and completely to the wide
range of tasks that may be required by this project. Resumes of key Capital Team personnel are presented later in
this section.
Project Conceptualization and Contracting
Capital understands the importance of carefully conceptualizing and clearly understanding all requirements of this
project. The foundation of the process for developing well-defined project goals and objectives is taking the time to
listen to Collier County staff to gain a clear and thorough understanding of the project requirements. Further, we
understand the importance of understanding the critical success factors associated with a given project.
Coordination with Project Team Members
Project Manager Adam Ahmad will conduct weekly coordination meetings with all team members to discuss weekly
progress, key issues and current staffing requirements to facilitate the monitoring and tracking of project progress. A
typical agenda for these meetings consists of the following topics:
• General project information updates
• Critical path items
• Schedule/budget updates by each task manager
• Planning, Design, Estimating and Reporting activities completed during previous week
• Activities to be conducted during current week
• Identification of problem issues or scope changes
• Action item assignments
• Current and projected staffing needs
Obtaining and Incorporating Review Comments
Capital values the County’s input and will use a workshop approach to obtain your comments throughout the
contract. Workshops will be held at project kick-off and at project milestones. Comments and decisions will be clearly
and accurately documented. Our goal is to provide effective communication of arising project challenges and our
recommended solutions.
Controlling Budget and Schedule
The Capital Team is committed to meeting Collier County’s schedule within budget. We will focus on two areas that
are critical in providing cost control: on-time decision making and top-quality, committed project staffing. To ensure
on-time decision making, the Capital Team will periodically conduct workshops with Collier County Planning,
Transportation, Traffic, Transit and Construction staff.
Early and frequent coordination will help identify issues and concerns that need to be resolved early in the project.
Also, the workshops and constant communication will ensure that neither time nor money is wasted performing
unnecessary tasks.
Schedule monitoring for this project will be performed by our Project Manager as well as our QA/QC Managers.
Recognizing that actual performance will never exactly match the original plan, a working schedule will be maintained
that documents performance to date and predicts future events. Good schedule control means expediting completion
of the project. We will conduct meetings with the team on a regular basis to remain abreast of key project milestones
or any arising project challenges.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control Approach
Delivering superior quality service is our key marketplace strategy, and is reinforced in every aspect of our business.
As part of our quality Control Program (QCP), Capital assigns senior reviewers who are independent of the project
and have the experience to provide concentrated, rigorous reviews that concentrate on the issues of consistency,
completeness, clarity, coordination and cost-effectiveness.
Project Approach: Technical Plan
Our Technical Approach to this project will be based on the successful process that
was followed while delivering the Design Criteria Package for the Lee County MPO on
their Lee County Complete Streets TIGER Grant. Our Teams experience with that
TIGER Grant and Design Criteria Package as well as our intimate knowledge of the
requirements of the Design Criteria for Tiger IX Grant Project (Immokalee Complete
Streets), will allow us to efficiently plan and schedule our work and begin services
immediately upon NTP.

performing minimal field borings (hand augers) to be provided to the Design–Build teams as part of the Criteria
and RFP package. The services to be performed in this task shall include:
• The Consultant, and/or its subconsultant, shall perform an initial records review of published
documents to identify the type of soils anticipated to be within the project limits.
• The Consultant, and/or its subconsultant, shall prepare a recommendation for a preliminary boring
plan within the project site and then perform the borings to determine actual material types
encountered and any special design considerations that should be made available to the Design-
Build teams.
• The Consultant, and/or its subconsultant, shall prepare and produce a preliminary geotechnical
technical memorandum/report documenting the soil types encountered within the corridor preliminary
borings.
• The Consultant, and/or its subconsultants, shall not perform a full geotechnical investigation, only

and identify any areas which may require further investigation by the Design-Build Team.
1.4 Perform Preliminary Utility Coordination
The work required as part of this task shall include identifying existing utility services within the project limits
(One Call) and establishing a database of information for inclusion in the RFP. This task does not include
above ground survey, subsurface utility locates or obtaining utility plans from utility companies.
• The Consultant shall identify (One Call) and contact those utility companies with utility services
anticipated within the project limits. This contact shall include an initial letter notice to the anticipated
utility company to verify they have services within the project limits and inform them of the proposed
project(s).
• Optional Services - The Consultant shall forward a set of the Conceptual Plans (once RFP is
advertised) to the utility companies with services within the corridor to obtain mark-ups of potential
utility type, size and location. This information will not be available to bidders but will be available for
use by the successful bidder. This could be done as an effort to help expedite the design
process.
1.5 Environmental Clearance, Permit Verification
The work required as part of this task shall include gathering available environmental data and permit
information (CAT-EX has been received) and validating it with respect to the Proposed improvements. This
effort is required to ensure the proposed improvements conform to the permit criteria. The services to be

basic (planning level) information related to the location, type and limits of
the planned projects. The services to be performed in this task shall
include:
• The Conceptual Plans (horizontal layout on aerial photos) should delineate the intent of the proposed
project(s).
• The typical sections should define project features such as roadway, sidewalks, bike lane, drainage
ditches etc.
• Above ground (visible) facilities (outfall drainage pipes, valve covers, man holes, poles etc.) located
within the project limits and identified during the initial field review should be shown on the plans and
labeled with desired resolution (remove, replace, extend, adjust etc.)
• Additional notes and details will be added as appropriate in order to clarify the intent of the project(s)
to the Design-Build Teams.
2.2 Prepare a Lighting Justification Study and Report
Lighting Justification Study [LJS] – 5 Miles of Street Lighting (106 Intersections)
The Capital Team will conduct a Lighting Justification Study LJS is to analyze
the existing lighting system and determine where improvements are needed
throughout the project limits. As part of the LJS, the team will develop the LJR,
which will be incorporated into the DCP. The tune will also prepare an estimate
of cost for installation and future operation and maintenance of the proposed
lighting system. Due to operation and maintenance costs are based on millage
collected, public assessment of any proposed increase must be evaluated. As
part of the study a report will be prepared to provide a comprehensive
assessment of the existing lighting system and make recommendations for
improvements in the LJR. The LJR shall guide the type and spacing of poles,

Company ID Number:
THE E-VERIFY
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
FOR EMPLOYERS
ARTICLE I
PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY
E-Verify is a program that electronically confirms an employee’s eligibility to work in the United States
after completion of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9). This Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) explains certain features of the E-Verify program and describes specific
responsibilities of the Employer, the Social Security Administration (SSA), and DHS.
Authority for the E-Verify program is found in Title IV, Subtitle A, of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), Pub. L. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009, as amended (8 U.S.C.
§ 1324a note). The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 22.18, “Employment Eligibility
Verification” and Executive Order 12989, as amended, provide authority for Federal contractors and
subcontractors (Federal contractor) to use E-Verify to verify the employment eligibility of certain
employees working on Federal contracts.
ARTICLE II
RESPONSIBILITIES
A. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMPLOYER
1.The Employer agrees to display the following notices supplied by DHS in a prominent place that is
clearly visible to prospective employees and all employees who are to be verified through the system:
a.Notice of E-Verify Participation
b.Notice of Right to Work
2.The Employer agrees to provide to the SSA and DHS the names, titles, addresses, and telephone
numbers of the Employer representatives to be contacted about E-Verify. The Employer also agrees to
keep such information current by providing updated information to SSA and DHS whenever the
representatives’ contact information changes.
3.The Employer agrees to grant E-Verify access only to current employees who need E-Verify access.
Employers must promptly terminate an employee’s E-Verify access if the employer is separated from
the company or no longer needs access to E-Verify.
1292321
The parties to this agreement are the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the
Capital Consulting Solutions, LLC (Employer). The purpose of this agreement is to set forth terms
and conditions which the Employer will follow while participating in E-Verify.
Page 2 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
4. The Employer agrees to become familiar with and comply with the most recent version of the
E-Verify User Manual.
5. The Employer agrees that any Employer Representative who will create E-Verify cases will
complete the E-Verify Tutorial before that individual creates any cases.
a. The Employer agrees that all Employer representatives will take the refresher tutorials when
prompted by E-Verify in order to continue using E-Verify. Failure to complete a refresher tutorial
will prevent the Employer Representative from continued use of E-Verify.
6. The Employer agrees to comply with current Form I-9 procedures, with two exceptions:
a. If an employee presents a "List B" identity document, the Employer agrees to only accept "List
B" documents that contain a photo. (List B documents identified in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.2(b)(1)(B)) can
be presented during the Form I-9 process to establish identity.) If an employee objects to the photo
requirement for religious reasons, the Employer should contact E-Verify at
888-464-4218.
b. If an employee presents a DHS Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card), Form I-766
(Employment Authorization Document), or U.S. Passport or Passport Card to complete Form I-9,
the Employer agrees to make a photocopy of the document and to retain the photocopy with the
employee’s Form I-9. The Employer will use the photocopy to verify the photo and to assist DHS
with its review of photo mismatches that employees contest. DHS may in the future designate
other documents that activate the photo screening tool.
Note: Subject only to the exceptions noted previously in this paragraph, employees still retain the right
to present any List A, or List B and List C, document(s) to complete the Form I-9.
7. The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form I-9 or to print
the screen containing the case verification number and attach it to the employee's Form I-9.
8. The Employer agrees that, although it participates in E-Verify, the Employer has a responsibility to
complete, retain, and make available for inspection Forms I-9 that relate to its employees, or from other
requirements of applicable regulations or laws, including the obligation to comply with the
antidiscrimination requirements of section 274B of the INA with respect to Form I-9 procedures.
a. The following modified requirements are the only exceptions to an Employer’s obligation to not
employ unauthorized workers and comply with the anti-discrimination provision of the INA: (1) List B
identity documents must have photos, as described in paragraph 6 above; (2) When an Employer
confirms the identity and employment eligibility of newly hired employee using E-Verify procedures,
the Employer establishes a rebuttable presumption that it has not violated section 274A(a)(1)(A) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) with respect to the hiring of that employee; (3) If the
Employer receives a final nonconfirmation for an employee, but continues to employ that person,
the Employer must notify DHS and the Employer is subject to a civil money penalty between $550
and $1,100 for each failure to notify DHS of continued employment following a final
nonconfirmation; (4) If the Employer continues to employ an employee after receiving a final
nonconfirmation, then the Employer is subject to a rebuttable presumption that it has knowingly
1292321
Page 3 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
employed an unauthorized alien in violation of section 274A(a)(1)(A); and (5) no E-Verify participant
is civilly or criminally liable under any law for any action taken in good faith based on information
provided through the E-Verify.
b. DHS reserves the right to conduct Form I-9 compliance inspections, as well as any other
enforcement or compliance activity authorized by law, including site visits, to ensure proper use of
E-Verify.
9. The Employer is strictly prohibited from creating an E-Verify case before the employee has been
hired, meaning that a firm offer of employment was extended and accepted and Form I-9 was
completed. The Employer agrees to create an E-Verify case for new employees within three Employer
business days after each employee has been hired (after both Sections 1 and 2 of Form I-9 have been
completed), and to complete as many steps of the E-Verify process as are necessary according to the
E-Verify User Manual. If E-Verify is temporarily unavailable, the three-day time period will be extended
until it is again operational in order to accommodate the Employer's attempting, in good faith, to make
inquiries during the period of unavailability.
10. The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify for pre-employment screening of job applicants, in
support of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use that this MOU or the E-Verify User
Manual does not authorize.
11. The Employer must use E-Verify for all new employees. The Employer will not verify selectively
and will not verify employees hired before the effective date of this MOU. Employers who are Federal
contractors may qualify for exceptions to this requirement as described in Article II.B of this MOU.
12. The Employer agrees to follow appropriate procedures (see Article III below) regarding tentative
nonconfirmations. The Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding and provide
them with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee’s E-Verify case. The
Employer agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for employees with
limited English proficiency to employees. The Employer agrees to provide written referral instructions
to employees and instruct affected employees to bring the English copy of the letter to the SSA. The
Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action against employees
if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending. Further, when employees contest
a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo mismatch, the Employer must take additional steps
(see Article III.B. below) to contact DHS with information necessary to resolve the challenge.
13. The Employer agrees not to take any adverse action against an employee based upon the
employee's perceived employment eligibility status while SSA or DHS is processing the verification
request unless the Employer obtains knowledge (as defined in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.1(l)) that the employee
is not work authorized. The Employer understands that an initial inability of the SSA or DHS automated
verification system to verify work authorization, a tentative nonconfirmation, a case in continuance
(indicating the need for additional time for the government to resolve a case), or the finding of a photo
mismatch, does not establish, and should not be interpreted as, evidence that the employee is not work
authorized. In any of such cases, the employee must be provided a full and fair opportunity to contest
the finding, and if he or she does so, the employee may not be terminated or suffer any adverse
employment consequences based upon the employee’s perceived employment eligibility status
1292321
Page 4 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
(including denying, reducing, or extending work hours, delaying or preventing training, requiring an
employee to work in poorer conditions, withholding pay, refusing to assign the employee to a Federal
contract or other assignment, or otherwise assuming that he or she is unauthorized to work) until and
unless secondary verification by SSA or DHS has been completed and a final nonconfirmation has
been issued. If the employee does not choose to contest a tentative nonconfirmation or a photo
mismatch or if a secondary verification is completed and a final nonconfirmation is issued, then the
Employer can find the employee is not work authorized and terminate the employee’s employment.
Employers or employees with questions about a final nonconfirmation may call E-Verify at 1-888-464-
4218 (customer service) or 1-888-897-7781 (worker hotline).
14. The Employer agrees to comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and section 274B of
the INA as applicable by not discriminating unlawfully against any individual in hiring, firing,
employment eligibility verification, or recruitment or referral practices because of his or her national
origin or citizenship status, or by committing discriminatory documentary practices. The Employer
understands that such illegal practices can include selective verification or use of E-Verify except as
provided in part D below, or discharging or refusing to hire employees because they appear or sound
“foreign” or have received tentative nonconfirmations. The Employer further understands that any
violation of the immigration-related unfair employment practices provisions in section 274B of the INA
could subject the Employer to civil penalties, back pay awards, and other sanctions, and violations of
Title VII could subject the Employer to back pay awards, compensatory and punitive damages.
Violations of either section 274B of the INA or Title VII may also lead to the termination of its
participation in E-Verify. If the Employer has any questions relating to the anti-discrimination provision,
it should contact OSC at 1-800-255-8155 or 1-800-237-2515 (TDD).
15. The Employer agrees that it will use the information it receives from E-Verify only to confirm the
employment eligibility of employees as authorized by this MOU. The Employer agrees that it will
safeguard this information, and means of access to it (such as PINS and passwords), to ensure that it
is not used for any other purpose and as necessary to protect its confidentiality, including ensuring that
it is not disseminated to any person other than employees of the Employer who are authorized to
perform the Employer's responsibilities under this MOU, except for such dissemination as may be
authorized in advance by SSA or DHS for legitimate purposes.
16. The Employer agrees to notify DHS immediately in the event of a breach of personal information.
Breaches are defined as loss of control or unauthorized access to E-Verify personal data. All
suspected or confirmed breaches should be reported by calling 1-888-464-4218 or via email at
E-Verify@dhs.gov. Please use “Privacy Incident – Password” in the subject line of your email when
sending a breach report to E-Verify.
17. The Employer acknowledges that the information it receives from SSA is governed by the Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a(i)(1) and (3)) and the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)). Any person who
obtains this information under false pretenses or uses it for any purpose other than as provided for in
this MOU may be subject to criminal penalties.
18. The Employer agrees to cooperate with DHS and SSA in their compliance monitoring and
evaluation of E-Verify, which includes permitting DHS, SSA, their contractors and other agents, upon
1292321
Page 5 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
reasonable notice, to review Forms I-9 and other employment records and to interview it and its
employees regarding the Employer’s use of E-Verify, and to respond in a prompt and accurate manner
to DHS requests for information relating to their participation in E-Verify.
19. The Employer shall not make any false or unauthorized claims or references about its participation
in E-Verify on its website, in advertising materials, or other media. The Employer shall not describe its
services as federally-approved, federally-certified, or federally-recognized, or use language with a
similar intent on its website or other materials provided to the public. Entering into this MOU does not
mean that E-Verify endorses or authorizes your E-Verify services and any claim to that effect is false.
20. The Employer shall not state in its website or other public documents that any language used
therein has been provided or approved by DHS, USCIS or the Verification Division, without first
obtaining the prior written consent of DHS.
21. The Employer agrees that E-Verify trademarks and logos may be used only under license by
DHS/USCIS (see M-795 (Web)) and, other than pursuant to the specific terms of such license, may not
be used in any manner that might imply that the Employer’s services, products, websites, or
publications are sponsored by, endorsed by, licensed by, or affiliated with DHS, USCIS, or E-Verify.
22. The Employer understands that if it uses E-Verify procedures for any purpose other than as
authorized by this MOU, the Employer may be subject to appropriate legal action and termination of its
participation in E-Verify according to this MOU.
B. RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS
1. If the Employer is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause subject to the employment
verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR, it will become familiar with and comply with the most
current version of the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors as well as the E-Verify
Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors.
2. In addition to the responsibilities of every employer outlined in this MOU, the Employer understands
that if it is a Federal contractor subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the
FAR it must verify the employment eligibility of any “employee assigned to the contract” (as defined in
FAR 22.1801). Once an employee has been verified through E-Verify by the Employer, the Employer
may not create a second case for the employee through E-Verify.
a. An Employer that is not enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor at the time of a contract
award must enroll as a Federal contractor in the E-Verify program within 30 calendar days of
contract award and, within 90 days of enrollment, begin to verify employment eligibility of new hires
using E-Verify. The Employer must verify those employees who are working in the United States,
whether or not they are assigned to the contract. Once the Employer begins verifying new hires,
such verification of new hires must be initiated within three business days after the hire date. Once
enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor, the Employer must begin verification of employees
assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee’s assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
1292321
Page 6 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
b. Employers enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor for 90 days or more at the time of a
contract award must use E-Verify to begin verification of employment eligibility for new hires of the
Employer who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract, within
three business days after the date of hire. If the Employer is enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal
contractor for 90 calendar days or less at the time of contract award, the Employer must, within 90
days of enrollment, begin to use E-Verify to initiate verification of new hires of the contractor who
are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract. Such verification of new
hires must be initiated within three business days after the date of hire. An Employer enrolled as a
Federal contractor in E-Verify must begin verification of each employee assigned to the contract
within 90 calendar days after date of contract award or within 30 days after assignment to the
contract, whichever is later.
c. Federal contractors that are institutions of higher education (as defined at 20 U.S.C. 1001(a)),
state or local governments, governments of Federally recognized Indian tribes, or sureties
performing under a takeover agreement entered into with a Federal agency under a performance
bond may choose to only verify new and existing employees assigned to the Federal contract. Such
Federal contractors may, however, elect to verify all new hires, and/or all existing employees hired
after November 6, 1986. Employers in this category must begin verification of employees assigned
to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee’s assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
d. Upon enrollment, Employers who are Federal contractors may elect to verify employment
eligibility of all existing employees working in the United States who were hired after November 6,
1986, instead of verifying only those employees assigned to a covered Federal contract. After
enrollment, Employers must elect to verify existing staff following DHS procedures and begin
E-Verify verification of all existing employees within 180 days after the election.
e. The Employer may use a previously completed Form I-9 as the basis for creating an E-Verify
case for an employee assigned to a contract as long as:
i. That Form I-9 is complete (including the SSN) and complies with Article II.A.6,
ii. The employee’s work authorization has not expired, and
iii. The Employer has reviewed the Form I-9 information either in person or in
communications with the employee to ensure that the employee’s Section 1, Form I-9
attestation has not changed (including, but not limited to, a lawful permanent resident alien
having become a naturalized U.S. citizen).
f. The Employer shall complete a new Form I-9 consistent with Article II.A.6 or update the
previous Form I-9 to provide the necessary information if:
i. The Employer cannot determine that Form I-9 complies with Article II.A.6,
ii. The employee’s basis for work authorization as attested in Section 1 has expired or
changed, or
iii. The Form I-9 contains no SSN or is otherwise incomplete.
Note: If Section 1 of Form I-9 is otherwise valid and up-to-date and the form otherwise complies with
1292321
Page 7 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
Article II.C.5, but reflects documentation (such as a U.S. passport or Form I-551) that expired after
completing Form I-9, the Employer shall not require the production of additional documentation, or use
the photo screening tool described in Article II.A.5, subject to any additional or superseding instructions
that may be provided on this subject in the E-Verify User Manual.
g. The Employer agrees not to require a second verification using E-Verify of any assigned
employee who has previously been verified as a newly hired employee under this MOU or to
authorize verification of any existing employee by any Employer that is not a Federal contractor
based on this Article.
3. The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor, its compliance with this MOU is a
performance requirement under the terms of the Federal contract or subcontract, and the Employer
consents to the release of information relating to compliance with its verification responsibilities under
this MOU to contracting officers or other officials authorized to review the Employer’s compliance with
Federal contracting requirements.
C. RESPONSIBILITIES OF SSA
1. SSA agrees to allow DHS to compare data provided by the Employer against SSA’s database. SSA
sends DHS confirmation that the data sent either matches or does not match the information in SSA’s
database.
2. SSA agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides through E-Verify procedures. SSA
also agrees to limit access to such information, as is appropriate by law, to individuals responsible for
the verification of Social Security numbers or responsible for evaluation of E-Verify or such other
persons or entities who may be authorized by SSA as governed by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a),
the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and SSA regulations (20 CFR Part 401).
3. SSA agrees to provide case results from its database within three Federal Government work days of
the initial inquiry. E-Verify provides the information to the Employer.
4. SSA agrees to update SSA records as necessary if the employee who contests the SSA tentative
nonconfirmation visits an SSA field office and provides the required evidence. If the employee visits an
SSA field office within the eight Federal Government work days from the date of referral to SSA, SSA
agrees to update SSA records, if appropriate, within the eight-day period unless SSA determines that
more than eight days may be necessary. In such cases, SSA will provide additional instructions to the
employee. If the employee does not visit SSA in the time allowed, E-Verify may provide a final
nonconfirmation to the employer.
Note: If an Employer experiences technical problems, or has a policy question, the employer should
contact E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218.
D. RESPONSIBILITIES OF DHS
1. DHS agrees to provide the Employer with selected data from DHS databases to enable the
Employer to conduct, to the extent authorized by this MOU:
a. Automated verification checks on alien employees by electronic means, and
1292321
Page 8 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
b. Photo verification checks (when available) on employees.
2. DHS agrees to assist the Employer with operational problems associated with the Employer's
participation in E-Verify. DHS agrees to provide the Employer names, titles, addresses, and telephone
numbers of DHS representatives to be contacted during the E-Verify process.
3. DHS agrees to provide to the Employer with access to E-Verify training materials as well as an
E-Verify User Manual that contain instructions on E-Verify policies, procedures, and requirements for
both SSA and DHS, including restrictions on the use of E-Verify.
4. DHS agrees to train Employers on all important changes made to E-Verify through the use of
mandatory refresher tutorials and updates to the E-Verify User Manual. Even without changes to
E-Verify, DHS reserves the right to require employers to take mandatory refresher tutorials.
5. DHS agrees to provide to the Employer a notice, which indicates the Employer's participation in
E-Verify. DHS also agrees to provide to the Employer anti-discrimination notices issued by the Office of
Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC), Civil Rights Division,
U.S. Department of Justice.
6. DHS agrees to issue each of the Employer’s E-Verify users a unique user identification number and
password that permits them to log in to E-Verify.
7. DHS agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides, and to limit access to such
information to individuals responsible for the verification process, for evaluation of E-Verify, or to such
other persons or entities as may be authorized by applicable law. Information will be used only to verify
the accuracy of Social Security numbers and employment eligibility, to enforce the INA and Federal
criminal laws, and to administer Federal contracting requirements.
8. DHS agrees to provide a means of automated verification that provides (in conjunction with SSA
verification procedures) confirmation or tentative nonconfirmation of employees' employment eligibility
within three Federal Government work days of the initial inquiry.

against employees if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending.
2. The Employer agrees to obtain the employee’s response about whether he or she will contest the
tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives the tentative

nonconfirmation notice and follow the instructions outlined in paragraph 1 of this section for tentative

B. TERMINATION
1. The Employer may terminate this MOU and its participation in E-Verify at any time upon 30 days
prior written notice to the other parties.
2. Notwithstanding Article V, part A of this MOU, DHS may terminate this MOU, and thereby the
Employer’s participation in E-Verify, with or without notice at any time if deemed necessary because of
the requirements of law or policy, or upon a determination by SSA or DHS that there has been a breach
of system integrity or security by the Employer, or a failure on the part of the Employer to comply with
established E-Verify procedures and/or legal requirements. The Employer understands that if it is a
Federal contractor, termination of this MOU by any party for any reason may negatively affect the
performance of its contractual responsibilities. Similarly, the Employer understands that if it is in a state
where E-Verify is mandatory, termination of this by any party MOU may negatively affect the
Employer’s business.
3. An Employer that is a Federal contractor may terminate this MOU when the Federal contract that
requires its participation in E-Verify is terminated or completed. In such cases, the Federal contractor
must provide written notice to DHS. If an Employer that is a Federal contractor fails to provide such
notice, then that Employer will remain an E-Verify participant, will remain bound by the terms of this
MOU that apply to non-Federal contractor participants, and will be required to use the E-Verify
procedures to verify the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees.
4. The Employer agrees that E-Verify is not liable for any losses, financial or otherwise, if the Employer
is terminated from E-Verify.
ARTICLE VI

SSA and DHS may adjust verification responsibilities between each other as necessary. By separate
agreement with DHS, SSA has agreed to perform its responsibilities as described in this MOU.

or procedural, enforceable at law by any third party against the United States, its agencies, officers, or
employees, or against the Employer, its agents, officers, or employees.
C. The Employer may not assign, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law, change of control or
merger, all or any part of its rights or obligations under this MOU without the prior written consent of
DHS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempt to sublicense, assign,
or transfer any of the rights, duties, or obligations herein is void.
D. Each party shall be solely responsible for defending any claim or action against it arising out of or
related to E-Verify or this MOU, whether civil or criminal, and for any liability wherefrom, including (but
not limited to) any dispute between the Employer and any other person or entity regarding the
applicability of Section 403(d) of IIRIRA to any action taken or allegedly taken by the Employer.
E. The Employer understands that its participation in E-Verify is not confidential information and may be
disclosed as authorized or required by law and DHS or SSA policy, including but not limited to,
