Rules and Regulations

Pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 13-10-91, all contractors or subcontractors who enter into a contract with GDOT or a contractor of GDOT in connection with the physical performance of services within this state, shall register and participate in the federal work authorization program to verify information of all newly hired employees. Any employee, contractor, or subcontractor of such contractor or subcontractor shall also be required to satisfy these requirements. Upon contracting with a new subcontractor, a contractor or subcontractor shall, as a condition of any contract or subcontract entered into, provide GDOT with notice of the identity of any and all subsequent subcontractors. Such notice shall be provided within five (5) business days of entering into a contract or agreement for hire with any subcontractor. Such notice shall include an affidavit from each subsequent contractor attesting to the subcontractor's name, address, user identification number, and date of authorization to use the federal work authorization program.

Access to the authorization program to obtain an E-Verify number can be found at https://e-verify.uscis.gov/enroll/StartPage.aspx?JS=YES, the website operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (USDHS).

For a bid/proposal/submittal to be considered, such certification shall be included in the contractor response to all solicitations issued by the Georgia Department of Transportation.
