Exhibit D: E-Verify Compliance Documentation

This is an E-Verify compliance exhibit for the City of Carmel Board of Public Works and Safety's 106th and Westfield Water Main Extension project in Hamilton County, Indiana. The exhibit establishes the E-Verify requirements that all contractors and subcontractors must meet to participate in the project. All bidders are required to enroll in and utilize the federal E-Verify system to verify employment eligibility for all employees assigned to project work. Bidders must submit E-Verify compliance documentation in the form of a computer screenshot of their business E-Verify webpage with their sealed bid submission by 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, through the City's e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/carmelin. The mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. The project involves approximately 800 linear feet of 12-inch water main installation with a project start date of May 2026 and substantial completion required by June 30, 2026.

Failure to include the required E-Verify compliance documentation screenshot with the bid submission will result in automatic bid rejection and disqualification from the competition. This requirement applies uniformly to all bidders with no set-aside designations or restrictions limiting competition. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder where the bid is reasonable and does not exceed available City of Carmel funds. All contractors and subcontractors must maintain compliance with federal employment verification requirements throughout project performance. No specific contract award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents.
