This is an E-Verify compliance exhibit document related to 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 mandatory E-Verify enrollment and compliance requirements for all contractors and subcontractors participating in the project. All contractors and subcontractors must enroll in and utilize the federal E-Verify system to verify employment eligibility of all employees assigned to project work. Bidders are required to submit E-Verify compliance documentation in the form of a computer screenshot of their business E-Verify webpage along with their sealed bid submission. The bid deadline is 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, with submission required through the City's e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/carmelin. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in the Caucus Room on the 2nd Floor of City Hall.

Failure to include the required E-Verify compliance documentation with the bid submission will result in automatic bid rejection and disqualification from consideration. This requirement applies uniformly to all bidders regardless of company size or classification, with no exemptions or alternatives permitted. The E-Verify requirement is a mandatory compliance condition for contract award and performance, and successful bidders must maintain E-Verify enrollment and compliance throughout the project duration, which is anticipated to run from May 2026 through June 30, 2026, based on a Notice to Proceed issued on or before April 15, 2026.
