Table 1 or >section 3.1 might be reasonable references. DHCP uses both broadcast and unicast communication. Broadcast is mainly used in stages where the client system does not yet have a valid IP address and thus cannot use unicast. For the broadcast part of the protocol, a relay agent is needed when the DHCP server does not have access to the broadcast domain the client is connected to. As soon as the client can speak proper IP, it communicates directly with the DHCP server, this part of communication relys on regular IP routing and does not need the relay agent any more.
