Prepared for Collier County Independent Design Peer Review Services for Transportation Engineering Projects RPS NO: 22-7973 Past Performance INDEPENDENT DESIGN PEER REVIEW SERVICES FOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING PROJECTS no� m® ®MEMM®M®® ■�■� ®moo m Description: Collier County tasked Cardno with providing an independent peer review of five County projects. These projects were a mix of traditional design -bid -build and design -build and all capacity improvements. The schedule is always a critical component of any design project, but schedules are paramount with design -build projects. For that reason, Cardno selected the most experienced team members from each design discipline to conduct the independent peer reviews. With over 200 years of combined years of experience, the review team was able to beat the review schedule ensuring that the project stayed on track. Our team conducted the reviews through Bluebeam, a cloud -based technology that streamlined the communication process. The design teams provided electronic versions of the plans in Bluebeam and all of Cardno's comments were electronically marked on the plans for clarity. The comments were also exported into an Excel file to which the designers could provide their responses. The last critical step in this process was the opportunity for the Peer Review Team to provide concurrence for the responses. This step adds review time but is important to close the communication circle and ensure comments are properly interpreted. Cardno's reviews were all -encompassing and cross -discipline. Roadway reviewers were focused on horizontal and vertical geometry, but also reviewed onsite and offsite grading issues that would present drainage challenges. Our traffic reviewers often team with the structures reviewers for mast arm design and the roadway reviewers for geometric concerns. At Cardno, we understand that communication between all the review disciplines is crucial in covering all design aspects of the project. Prepa INDEPENDENT DESIGN PEER REVIEW SERVICES FOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING PROJECTS Description: PD&E evaluation and design of Moccasin Wallow Road from US 41 to West of 1-75 in Manatee County, Florida.

Plans will be developed for the interim phase to construct the two inside lanes in each direction. Proposed right-of-way would be approximately 150 feet wide. Stormwater collection, conveyance treatment ponds, floodplain compensation, and wetland mitigation will be designed and permitted for ultimate six -lane urban section. The project length is approximately 1.9-miles. Stormwater conveyance system will be accommodated within an underground storm drainage system. Two stormwater management facilities will be required for stormwater treatment and attenuation for all roadway improvements. It is anticipated that the existing stormwater treatment ponds located in the adjacent developments cannot be utilized for a portion of the stormwater management system for this roadway project. The stormwater management facilities will be designed to meet current Environmental Resource Permitting requirements, and also meet County discharge criteria. The existing right-of-way between US 41 and west of 1-75 consists of multiple widths and configurations. The alternative alignment study evaluated environmental, social, and utility impacts, and right-of-way cost. Environmental evaluation includes ecological resources, endangered species, contamination screening and cultural resources assessment survey. PD&E study is complete and the project is now under design. Innovative Solutions: Moccasin Wallow Road expansion project involved relocating water, sewer, and reclaimed water utilities which demand constant coordination with the roadway, signaling, lighting, and drainage designers along with the client. Cardno understands the demands and incorporates innovative working solutions in-house to bring these disciplines together to streamline the coordination process with one point of contact to the client. The end result is a quality project that incorporates team effort, seamless communication, and lowers coordination costs between disciplines. This method also fosters value engineering to the client due to the synergy it creates.

Prepared for Collier County INDEPENDENT DESIGN PEER REVIEW SERVICES FOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING PROJECTS Description: Cardno provided design for Metro Parkway in two phases. Metro Parkway is a major north -south arterial located in Lee County within the City of Fort Myers. The project included roadway reconstruction/ widening and new roadway construction. The overall project length was 2.7 miles and consisted of: Widening Metro Parkway, from Winkler Avenue to Hanson Street, to a six -lane urban section Construction of the bridge over the North Colonial Waterway, Seminole Gulf Railway, Ten Mile Canal and Palm Avenue Conversion of Fowler Street and Evans Avenue (two-way traffic facilities) to twin one-way pair Realignment and reconstruction of Seminole Gulf Railroad tracks along the Evans Avenue > Reconstruction of a three -lane (northbound) of Evans Avenue from Hanson Street to SR 82 > Reconstruction of Hanson Street from Royal Palm Avenue to east of Cranford Avenue Considerable coordination with the adjacent community, emergency services personnel, and the general public was required throughout design and construction process in order for the conversion of twin one-way pair to function as intended. Cardno conducted a detailed review of the PBE study previously performed for this project which included new public workshops to analyze the new alignment. Cardno provided unique techniques for construction of the bridge that detailed alternative methods and cost analysis for each option. Through extensive coordination efforts with the Florida Department of Transportation, Lee County, City of Fort Myers, Seminole Gulf Railroad, South Florida Water Management District, US Army Corps of Engineers, and numerous utility companies, many construction related concerns were addressed early in the design process. Cardno was selected to provide design, permitting and limited construction administration services for the relocation of the City's utilities for this project. Design included the relocation of approximately 5,600 LF of potable water main ranging in size from 6 inches through 24 inches in diameter, 1,400 LF of 12-inch force main and 2,000 LF of sanitary sewer up to 18 inches in duplex diameter. The pipeline design also included valves, fittings, pressure taps, line stops and associated appurtenances. The design include the relocation of a submersible type sewage pump station (2,250gpm at 55TDH), and several roadway crossings which were constructed by horizontal auger boring and pipe jacking method. Prepared for Collier County INDEPENDENT DESIGN PEER REVIEW SERVICES FOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING PROJECTS Description: As a continuing services contract, Cardno was tasked with the review of traffic studies and construction plans. Our Traffic Design team are often tasked with the review of other consultant's plans during the various phase submittals. As such, we have developed robust checklists for each design discipline to ensure a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative design review. As part of our document control policy, we use Bluebeam software as our review and markup tool. Our QC review process includes a review of the plans to ensure they meet the requirements for standard plans format. One element of our design review worth noting, includes an integrated review of the various design disciplines and their interrelation relative to safety. This process has elevated the design of each review we perform making the design as safe as possible.

Prepared for Collier County INDEPENDENT DESIGN PEER REVIEW SERVICES FOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING PROJECTS Description: The project called to reconstruct 2.5 miles of an existing two-lane rural section of roadway to a four -lane urban and suburban facility. Cardno was responsible for the design plans, calculations, estimates, and specifications for the project. This challenging corridor includes significant coordination with CSX, who has an adjacent railroad along the southern right-of- way line. Our team worked very closely with MOT to minimize impacts to CSX and was very responsive in remedying any issues during their negotiations with the railroad. Several businesses are located along the north right-of-way limit, which required right-of- way acquisition. The primary concern for these owners was losing left -turn access to their businesses due to the new raised median. To accommodate their needs, Cardno provided a design that incorporated a center two-way left -turn lane to restore left -turn access to the businesses. The center two-way left -turn lanes included islands at strategic locations, which not only increases safety, but also reduces speeds along this mostly straight corridor. Services provided included: > Roadway/sidewalk design > Structures > Drainage > Traffic analysis > Typical section alternatives > Drainage and stormwater management > Signing and pavement markings/signalization/lighting > Traffic control plans > Utility coordination > Public involvement. Prepared for Collier County Independent Design Peer Review Services for Transportation Engineering Projects RPS NO: 22-7973 Cardno's Approach From a technical perspective, Cardno's proposed approach to this Independent Peer Review contract is to provide an expert team with Collier County Peer Review experience, versed in capacity improvement projects and immediately available with short notice. Cardno has worked for Collier County for over 20 years and we know how to quickly and effectively execute project assignments. Logistically, Cardno uses a combination of methods and tools to monitor, schedule and budget labor and equipment resources, including spreadsheets/reports, work breakdown structures, and monthly meetings with group managers. Each manager receives a weekly resource management report that tracks workload and equipment use. Based on workload as a percentage of capacity, the weekly reports indicate which disciplines are under goal, on target or above goal for utilization. Cardno currently holds a Professional Services Library contract with Collier County and, over the past year, has been providing Independent Peer Reviews for multiple projects through that contract. Out of five projects assigned as part of the task, we have completed phase reviews for three. With this specific Collier County experience and our processes and procedures already in place, our team will have little to no learning curve or setup time. As part of our document control, we use Bluebeam software as our review and markup tool. Our QC review process includes a review of the plans to ensure they meet the requirements for standard plans format. One important element of our design review includes an integrated review of the various design disciplines and their interrelation to safety. This process has elevated the design of each review we perform making each design as safe as possible. This Project Collier County has requested services for independent peer review of the construction plans for conformity to design standards and criteria for three transportation projects. This review will be conducted at the 60% and 90% phases. The projects include: > 16th Street NE Bridge > Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension, Phase 2 > Wilson Boulevard Widening During the scoping process, our team will review the project to determine which disciplines will be required. The discipline leads will review the concept plans to determine the level of effort INDEPENDENT DESIGN PEER REVIEW SERVICES FOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING PROJECTS involved and the team meets to establish any additional needs for the project. We anticipate the scoping for all three projects will occur at the same time to ensure consistency between the projects. Having a full -team approach during the scoping phase ensures there are no gaps when identifying the disciplines and tasks required. As Cardno has provided scope and fees for six peer review projects for Collier County, we fully understand what the County expects and the level of effort in terms of fees. Cardno will review the plans and documentation as provided by the County. Our peer review will be based on current standards and criteria in these manuals and guidelines: > FDOT Design Manual (FDM) > Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards FDOT� for Design, Construction and Maintenance �- (Florida Greenbook) > FDOT Standard Plans for Road Construction ■ > FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction Manual > Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Control D*vlces (MUTCD) > American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) > Collier County Traffic Operations COLLIER Signalization Technical Special Provisions (TSP) > Collier County Traffic Operations Roadway I ES Lighting TSP We will schedule and attend at least one coordination meeting for this project, and more if the County believes it is warranted. The 60% and 90% plans package will be submitted in Bluebeam for review. This Bluebeam session is typically set up by the design team and the peer review team is invited to the session, but Cardno can certainly lead this effort if it helps streamline the process for the County. We will provide comments in the Bluebeam session along with a written tabulated version in Excel. At this point, our team will also download the submittal package and comments onto Cardno servers for record keeping, since reviewers will no longer have access once the session is closed. Our technical review will confirm the accuracy and constructability of elements such as these, as they apply to each project: > Cardno's roadway experts have decades of roadway design experience and will review each project's horizontal and vertical geometry. Since criteria for the geometry is tied directly to the elements of the typical section, we must review all three elements together as a system and correspond as one. Temporary traffic control plans (TTCP) are critical components and shape public opinion of the project. Our TTCP review will ensure standards are met, and focus on minimizing impacts to the traveling public and adjacent business and home owners. > Clear zone and clearance requirements are key to safety along any roadway project. In addition to reviewing survey and cross Prepared for Collier County INDEPENDENT DESIGN PEER REVIEW SERVICES FOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING PROJECTS sections in the plans for these requirements, our reviewers find using Google Street View identifies elements that may not stand out on the plan sheets, such as a large utility installation or large sign supports. > Utility conflicts can be easily overlooked during design, but is a major component that can delay a project during construction. A detailed review of the existing and proposed utilities will be an important task to minimize impacts to utilities and the construction schedule. Our in-house utility design staff can provide specialty insight to utility conflicts and requirements for these peer review projects. > With decades of experience working on County and FOOT projects, our staff is well versed in the requirements of the Florida Green Book and FOOT Design Manual. In addition, our permitting experts can review the plans to make sure permitting requirements are being met. > With a fresh -set -of -eyes, our team can review each project objectively and ensure the County's goals are being met. > Our detailed checklist is extensive and was derived from Cardno's own internal QC review procedures. It includes a detailed list of required information for the submittal package including plans, specifications, and documentation. > Any Technical Special Provisions (TSP) included with the submittal package will be reviewed and compared against the information in the plans. It is also important to note that Collier County Traffic Operations has a set of Traffic Technical Special Provisions that must be met. > Cardno has in-house CEI staff that regulary participates on Cardno projects for constructability and bidability reviews. These expert staff members are in the field working hand - in -hand with clients and contractors on some of the largest construction projects in the state and are completely up to date on the latest construction techniques and requirements. We have robust checklists for each discipline to ensure a comprehensive design review. Below is a brief overview of a few of the discipline plan review process. Signing and Pavement Marking (S&PM) Our S&PM peer review process includes a review of the plans to ensure they meet the requirements for standard plans format, quantity take -offs to ensure the Tabulation of Quantities are consistent with the plan sheets, General and Pay Item notes are specific to the project, Maintenance of Traffic notes are applicable to the construction of the plans, plan sheets include all required signing and marking elements, the coordination of both the signing and marking design elements to provide clear direction to motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians, all signing to include station and offsets, stationing for each marking element. Signa/ization Our traffic signal peer review process includes a review of the plans to ensure they meet the requirements for standard plans format, quantity take -offs to ensure the Tabulation of Quantities are consistent with the plan sheets, General and Pay Item notes are specific to the project and include any County preferences, TTCP notes are applicable to the construction of the signal, plan sheets include all required design elements include signal head designation and phase association, correctness of the yellow, all -red and pedestrian clearance timings, street name sign legends and block numbers, controller operation notes, vehicle detection design and table, signal structure placement meeting clear zone requirements with station and offset included, review to ensure no utility conflicts, proper layout and conduit routing and placement of pedestrian features and consistency with the signing and marking plans. Lighting Our lighting QC review process includes a review of the plans to ensure they meet the requirements for standard plans format, quantity take -offs to ensure the Tabulation of Quantities are consistent with the plan sheets, General and Pay Item notes are specific to the project, TTCP notes are applicable to the construction of the plans, plan sheets include all required lighting elements including light poles, conduit and conductors, power service requirements, Pole Legend sheet matching the plans including station and offset. Structures The Cardno team has specific peer review experience relating to bridge and structures design with both Collier County and FDOT. Our team, led by Ananda Bergeron, is currently serving the County on several structural peer review tasks including the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Phase 1 which includes two bridges. Prior to this project, Ananda served FOOT Districts One, Three, as well as the Turnpike as the lead structural reviewer in several bridge projects. Our approach as peer reviewers for bridge structures is to examine the plans and design calculations to ensure conformance with FDOT Manuals including the Structures Design Guidelines (SDG) and AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. We will review the design calculations to ensure they corroborate the plans. We will review each plan sheet, not only for technical accuracy, but also to check correctness in spelling, grammar, and conformance with County and FDOT CADD standards. Lastly, we will perform a constructability review to identify conflicts that may impede or complicate bridge construction.

Once the contract is executed, our Project Manager, Jason Yam, PE, will coordinate with the County PM with regard to schedules of each project, progress reporting, invoicing procedures, and communication preferences. Our team developed a specific schedule for the peer review process that considers a number of factors such as the size of project and number of design disciplines required. We also include time for a concurrence review of responses to our comments, which is critical to ensure comments are correctly interpreted and fully addressed. Schedule Management — Meeting schedules successfully involves effective project management, proactively assessing each project's progress and anticipating problems before they arise. Maintaining the schedule requires frequent communication with the project staff through coordination meetings and email progress outlines to ensure disciplines are on track with meeting the review schedule. We routinely provide roll -up reporting on a project's status so the County can easily track the project's completion. This takes the "worry" out of what's going on and what's coming next. Cardno's processes, procedures, practices, standards, guidelines, and policies are constantly being monitored and updated. This will give Collier County the relief and satisfaction that our staff is providing the best services possible. We continually train and coach our project managers and project teams. The County can be assured our staff is equipped with the latest and best techniques available. Budget Controls Strict Cost Control — Cardno understands the need to be financially responsible and mindful of budget constraints. Once a scope of services has been agreed upon, Cardno will propose a reasonable fee that reflects the effort required to satisfy the scope, while meeting the County's expectations. The responsibility for cost control on projects lies with Jason Yam, PE, Cardno's Project Manager. Our BST accounting system enables the Cardno team to strictly monitor project financial health, and ensures compliance with Federal Cost Accounting Standards. The system provides all necessary information at the contract, project and task levels for Mr. Yam to effectively manage the project budget. He receives monthly statements of all project charges, and a monthly INDEPENDENT DESIGN PEER REVIEW SERVICES FOR TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING PROJECTS exception report for any project that exceeds certain performance measures. Cardno is viewed as very competitive for the following reasons: > Cardno provides nearly all services in-house, resulting in integrated services and cost savings. When subconsultants are necessary, Cardno provides no mark-up on their services. > Our experienced staff develops comprehensive scopes of work the first time to identify all necessary services for your project. > The true value of Cardno services comes during construction when our projects are built. Experienced staff ensures our designs are correct the first time, resulting in fewer change orders or delays. > Cardno has one of the best claims records in the industry. Fewer claims are another testament to the value of the work product we provide and proof of a solid quality assurance program. > Over 90% of Cardno's work is for repeat clients who have evaluated Cardno's value compared to other engineering firms and continue to return to Cardno for the premier services we provide.

Discussion will include work progress, issues and action items, forecast of next month's work, schedule and budget updates, and other business items that may affect the project schedule. Besides scheduled meetings, Cardno staff communicates daily, making teamwork a priority for all of the County's needs. Mr. Yam will oversee project activities to ensure appropriate resources are allocated to meet budget, schedule and quality expectations, and an accurate accounting of overall project status is communicated to County staff. Interaction with the County Cardno prides itself in our ability to deliver the resources of a larger firm while remaining nimble and responsive to client needs when called upon. This is the approach we have used in providing on -call services to our public agency clients, and we will continue to take that same approach when contacted by Collier County. We understand changes to a project's scope or complexity occur during the course of a project. By maintaining a frequent exchange of information between Cardno and the County's project manager, we ensure a no -surprises relationship. If scope changes are required, we will work with the County's project manager to prepare a detailed understanding for the additional work and approximate time/budget to complete the work.

Date March 21, 2022 Vendor Signature Print Name DougiasStoker Insurance Agency Lockton Companies Agent Name Julie Mulloy Telephone Number 813.960.9979 � sect iE-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 THE E-VERIFY MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR EMPLOYERS ARTICLE I PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY The parties to this agreement are the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Cardno (Employer). The purpose of this agreement is to set forth terms and conditions which the Employer will follow while participating in E-Verify. E-Verify is a program that electronically confirms an employee's eligibility to work in the United States after completion of Form 1-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Form 1-9). 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. Page 1 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 � sect iE-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 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 1-9 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 1-551 (Permanent Resident Card), Form 1-766 (Employment Authorization Document), or U.S. Passport or Passport Card to complete Form 1-9, the Employer agrees to make a photocopy of the document and to retain the photocopy with the employee's Form 1-9. 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 1-9. 7. The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form 1-9 or to print the screen containing the case verification number and attach it to the employee's Form 1-9. 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 1-9 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 1-9 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 Page 2 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 � sect iE-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 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 1-9 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 1-9 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 1-9 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(1)) 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 Page 3 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 � sect iE-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 (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 VI 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 VI 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 EE-Verify(@dhsgov. 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 Page 4 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 � sect iE-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 reasonable notice, to review Forms 1-9 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. Page 5 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 � sect 1E-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 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 1-9 as the basis for creating an E-Verify case for an employee assigned to a contract as long as: i. That Form 1-9 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 1-9 information either in person or in communications with the employee to ensure that the employee's Section 1, Form 1-9 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 1-9 consistent with Article II.A.6 or update the previous Form 1-9 to provide the necessary information if: i. The Employer cannot determine that Form 1-9 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 1-9 contains no SSN or is otherwise incomplete. Note: If Section 1 of Form 1-9 is otherwise valid and up-to-date and the form otherwise complies with Page 6 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 � sect iE-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 Article II.C.5, but reflects documentation (such as a U.S. passport or Form 1-551) that expired after completing Form 1-9, 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 Page 7 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 � sect iE-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 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. 9. DHS agrees to provide a means of secondary verification (including updating DHS records) for employees who contest DHS tentative nonconfirmations and photo mismatch tentative nonconfirmations. This provides final confirmation or nonconfirmation of the employees' employment eligibility within 10 Federal Government work days of the date of referral to DHS, unless DHS determines that more than 10 days may be necessary. In such cases, DHS will provide additional verification instructions. ARTICLE III REFERRAL OF INDIVIDUALS TO SSA AND DHS A. REFERRAL TO SSA 1. If the Employer receives a tentative nonconfirmation issued by SSA, the Employer must print the notice as directed by E-Verify. 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 Page 8 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 � sect iE-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 case. The Employer also 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. 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. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative nonconfirmation. 3. After a tentative nonconfirmation, the Employer will refer employees to SSA field offices only as directed by E-Verify. The Employer must record the case verification number, review the employee information submitted to E-Verify to identify any errors, and find out whether the employee contests the tentative nonconfirmation. The Employer will transmit the Social Security number, or any other corrected employee information that SSA requests, to SSA for verification again if this review indicates a need to do so. 4. The Employer will instruct the employee to visit an SSA office within eight Federal Government work days. SSA will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer within 10 Federal Government work days of the referral unless it determines that more than 10 days is necessary. 5. While waiting for case results, the Employer agrees to check the E-Verify system regularly for case updates. 6. The Employer agrees not to ask the employee to obtain a printout from the Social Security Administration number database (the Numident) or other written verification of the SSN from the SSA. B. REFERRAL TO DHS 1. If the Employer receives a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, 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 also agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for employees with limited English proficiency to employees. 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. 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. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative nonconfirmation. 3. The Employer agrees to refer individuals to DHS only when the employee chooses to contest a tentative nonconfirmation. 4. If the employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer will instruct the Page 9 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 � sect iE-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 employee to contact DHS through its toll -free hotline (as found on the referral letter) within eight Federal Government work days. 5. If the Employer finds a photo mismatch, the Employer must provide the photo mismatch tentative nonconfirmation notice and follow the instructions outlined in paragraph 1 of this section for tentative nonconfirmations, generally. 6. The Employer agrees that if an employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo mismatch, the Employer will send a copy of the employee's Form 1-551, Form 1-766, U.S. Passport, or passport card to DHS for review by: a. Scanning and uploading the document, or b. Sending a photocopy of the document by express mail (furnished and paid for by the employer). 7. The Employer understands that if it cannot determine whether there is a photo match/mismatch, the Employer must forward the employee's documentation to DHS as described in the preceding paragraph. The Employer agrees to resolve the case as specified by the DHS representative who will determine the photo match or mismatch. 8. DHS will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer within 10 Federal Government work days of the referral unless it determines that more than 10 days is necessary. 9. While waiting for case results, the Employer agrees to check the E-Verify system regularly for case updates. ARTICLE IV SERVICE PROVISIONS A. NO SERVICE FEES 1. SSA and DHS will not charge the Employer for verification services performed under this MOU. The Employer is responsible for providing equipment needed to make inquiries. To access E-Verify, an Employer will need a personal computer with Internet access. ARTICLE V MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION A. MODIFICATION 1. This MOU is effective upon the signature of all parties and shall continue in effect for as long as the SSA and DHS operates the E-Verify program unless modified in writing by the mutual consent of all parties. 2. Any and all E-Verify system enhancements by DHS or SSA, including but not limited to E-Verify checking against additional data sources and instituting new verification policies or procedures, will be covered under this MOU and will not cause the need for a supplemental MOU that outlines these changes. Page 10 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers I Revision Date 06/01/13 � sect iE-Verfv— or ON a Company ID Number: 811428 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 PARTIES A. Some or all SSA and DHS responsibilities under this MOU may be performed by contractor(s), and 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. B. Nothing in this MOU is intended, or should be construed, to create any right or benefit, substantive 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, Page 11 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers i Revision Date 06/01/13 W� ram- . E-Veriff �ylll� o Company ID Number: 811428 Congressional oversight, E-Verify publicity and media inquiries, determinations of compliance with Federal contractual requirements, and responses to inquiries under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). F. The individuals whose signatures appear below represent that they are authorized to enter into this MOU on behalf of the Employer and DHS respectively. The Employer understands that any inaccurate statement, representation, data or other information provided to DHS may subject the Employer, its subcontractors, its employees, or its representatives to: (1) prosecution for false statements pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or; (2) immediate termination of its MOU and/or; (3) possible debarment or suspension. G. The foregoing constitutes the full agreement on this subject between DHS and the Employer. To be accepted as an E-Verify participant, you should only sign the Employer's Section of the signature page. If you have any questions, contact E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218.
