Summary
This is a First Source Employment Agreement for Non-Construction Contracts issued by the Government of the District of Columbia Department of Employment Services (DOES). The agreement applies to the Storm Water Initiatives project at Fort Totten (4900 John McCormick Drive, NE, Washington, DC) with a total government-assisted funded amount of $4,395,407.81. The employer, Consys, Inc., is required to hire District of Columbia residents for at least 51 percent of all new jobs created by the contract and ensure that 35 percent of all apprenticeship hours are worked by DC residents registered in programs approved by the District of Columbia Apprenticeship Council. The contract begins upon issuance of Notice to Proceed and is scheduled to be completed within 270 days. Consys, Inc. is not a subcontractor and will serve as the prime contractor responsible for implementing hiring and reporting requirements under the supervision of senior official Vijay Kasimsetty.
The agreement mandates that Consys, Inc. register all job vacancies with the Job Bank Services of DOES for a minimum of 10 calendar days before using alternative recruitment sources and submit monthly compliance reports detailing hiring data, payroll records, and workforce statistics. The employer must complete a Revised Employment Plan outlining projected job creation, skill requirements, recruitment strategies, and community outreach partnerships with institutions including the University of the District of Columbia and approved job training providers. Failure to comply with First Source requirements may result in penalties of up to 5 percent of total direct and indirect labor costs for willful breach or up to 1/8 of 1 percent per percentage point of hiring requirement not met. DOES is authorized to monitor and enforce all requirements through site visits, payroll inspections, and desk reviews of compliance reports, with violations potentially leading to debarment for five years following two violations within a 10-year period.
