In the case of Bromell Manicured Lawns, which is under a $500,000 contract with GDOT for its mowing services, King said the company president, Michael Bromell, signed an affidavit dated June 16, 2010, that the company was using E-Verify as a condition of obtaining a work contract with GDOT. But King said, according to documents he obtained from U.S. Homeland Security, the company did not obtain an MOU with E-Verify until Aug. 26, 2010.
According to Georgia Senate Bill 447, passed this spring, "Contractors and subcontractors convicted for false statements based on a violation of this subsection shall be prohibited from bidding on or entering into any public contract for 12 months following such conviction."
