It is the responsibility of the Contractor to include this specification in all tiers of subcontracts. Verification of the Contractors' use of E-verify will be a part of the random review of subcontract information performed by the Department. The required use of the E-Verify system will not be paid for separately as part of the contract but is considered included in the costs for other pay items in the contract.
