A copy of Orange County's Living Wage Contractor Policy is included at <br /> the end of this RFP. <br /> E-Verify <br /> HB789 imposes E-Verify requirements on contractors who enter into certain contracts with state agencies <br /> and local governments. The legislation specifically prohibits governmental units from entering into certain <br /> contracts"unless the contractor and the contractor's subcontractors comply with the requirements of Article <br /> 2 of Chapter 65 of the General Statues." (Article 2 of Chapter 65 establishes North Carolina's E-Verify <br /> requirements for private employers.) It is important to note that the verification requirement applies to <br /> subcontractors as well as contractors. The new laws specifically prohibit governmental units from entering <br /> into contracts with contractors who have not (or their subcontractors have not) complied with E-Verify. <br /> 10 <br />
