First Source Employment Agreement Summary
This is a First Source Employment Agreement document issued by the Government of the District of Columbia, Department of Employment Services (DOES), in conjunction with the Department of General Services for construction projects funded with District government assistance. The agreement applies to the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), Department of Park and Recreation (DPR), and municipal facilities construction projects anticipated during fiscal years 2027-2032. The agreement establishes workforce hiring and hours-worked requirements for all contractors and subcontractors working on government-assisted projects valued at $300,000 or more. Employers must submit a Revised Employment Plan prior to commencing work, register job vacancies with DOES at www.dcnetworks.org for a minimum of 10 days, and notify DOES of new job creation within 7 business days. No work may begin until the agreement has been executed by both the employer and DOES. The agreement remains in full force and effect throughout the project duration, any extensions or modifications, and continues until construction is complete and a certificate of occupancy is issued.
Employers must meet specific hiring or hours-worked percentage requirements based on government assistance levels: projects receiving between $300,000 and $5 million in assistance require at least 51 percent of new hires to be District residents, while projects receiving $5 million or more require 20 percent journey worker hours, 60 percent apprentice hours, 51 percent skilled laborer hours, and 70 percent common laborer hours to be performed by DC residents. Monthly compliance reporting is mandatory, including submission of certified payrolls, hiring data, and hours-worked statistics through the First Source Online Registration and Reporting System. Willful breach of the agreement or submission of falsified data may result in fines of up to 5 percent of direct and indirect labor costs, with additional penalties of 1/8 of 1 percent per percentage point of unmet hiring requirements. DOES may grant waivers or partial waivers if employers demonstrate good faith efforts to comply, and employers debarred for two or more violations over a 10-year period may be deemed ineligible for District projects for five years.
