Whenever the contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving any con- struction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $ZO,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted. J. If the contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 C.F.R. 60-4.5) in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan.

The contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 7a through p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in the eoverd,area. The contractor is expected to make subs tantially,uniform progress toward its goal in each craft during the period specified. S.

Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. 7. The contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity. The evaluation of the contractor's compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results.from its actions. The contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the.folLowing: a. Eneure.and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which.the eontrac.tor's employees are assigned to work. The contractor, where possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. .The contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other on-sita supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the contractor's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities. 16 b.

Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the contractor a minority person or woman sent by the contractor, or when the contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the contractor's efforts to meet its obligations. e. Develop on -the -site training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7 b above. f. Disseminate the contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicising it in the company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed. 17 g., Review, at Zeaet annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any responsi- bility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other employment decisions including specific review of these items with oneite supervisory personnel ouch as Superintendents, Cenral Foreman, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site.

Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence to and performance under the contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action obZi- gations. B. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (?a through p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor -union, contractor - community, or other similar group of which the contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one of more of its obligations under 7a through p of these Specifications provided that the contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positve impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the contractor's and failure of such a group to fuZfill an obligation shaZZ not be a defense for the contractor's noncompliance. 9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goat for women have been established. The contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male 19 and female, and all women, both minority and non -minority. Consequently, the contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized). 10. The contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. 11. The contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 12246. 12. The contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246,_as amended, and its implementing regulations by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended. 23. The contractor, in fulfulling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 C.F.R. 60-4.8. 14. The contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee the name, address, telephone nwnbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic,apprentice, trainee, helper, 20 or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per meek in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records. 16. Nothing herein provided ehaZZ be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the PubZic Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program.)
