Explanatory Information Concerning Contracting with
Illegal Aliens, Now Codified as CRS 8-17.5-101 et seq.

All of our service contracts are now required to include certification that the contractor does not knowingly contract with illegal aliens. Part of that statute requires the certification from the contractor that the contractor has “registered with or certify that they are in compliance with the "basic pilot program”. While this program is not necessarily new, it is unknown to most people doing business with school districts in the State of Colorado. The “basic pilot program” is a program run by the Federal Government within the Department of Homeland Security. The program requires a party to apply for entry into the program and make certain agreements with the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security programs. The information we have is that an application can be made to participate in the “basic pilot program” over the internet. We have a websites which may be helpful in doing so. The site is: https://www.vis-dhs.com/EmployerRegistration  . A set of instructions will appear and the applicant should follow those instructions. This information should provide the proposed contractor with information sufficient to fill out the contractor’s certification as required on our contracts as of August 9, 2006.

This information regarding compliance with Basic Pilot Program requirements is provided as a service by the school district and does not assure acceptance to the Federal program or acceptance of the proposed contract by Littleton Public Schools. Included in all future contracts with Littleton Public Schools contractors will be required to complete a certification statement regarding illegal aliens.  Prohibition Against Use of Illegal Aliens, provides the requirements all contractors must agree to in order to be awarded a contract with LPS.
