Health Care Accountability Ordinance (HCAO) Declaration What the Ordinance Requires. The Health Care Accountability Ordinance (HCAO), which became effective July 1, 2001, requires Contractors that provide services to the City or enter into certain leases with the City, and certain Subcontractors, Subtenants and parties providing services to Tenants and Subtenants on City property, to provide health plan benefits to Covered Employees, or make payments to the City for use by the Department of Public Health (DPH), or, under limited circumstances, make payments directly to Employees.

The HCAO applies only to Contractors with at least $25,000 ($50,000 for non-profit organizations) in cumulative annual business with a City department(s) and have more than 20 Employees (50 Employees for non-profit organizations) including Employees of any parent or subsidiaries.

The City may require Contractors to submit reports on the number of Employees affected by the HCAO.

Effect on City Contracting. For contracts and amendments signed on or after July 1, 2001, the HCAO requires the following:

• Each contract must include terms ensuring that the Contractor will agree to abide by the HCAO and either to provide its employees with health plan benefits meeting the Minimum Standards set forth by the Director of Health or to make the payments required by the HCAO;

• All City Contractors must agree to comply with the requirements of the HCAO unless the Contracting Department has obtained an approved exemption or waiver under the HCAO from the Office of Labor Standards (OLSE).

• Contractors must require any Subcontractors subject to the HCAO to comply with the HCAO:

The Purpose of This Declaration. By submitting this declaration, you are providing assurances to the City that, beginning with the first City contract or amendment you receive after July 1, 2001 and until further notice, you will either provide the health plan benefits meeting the Minimum Standards to your covered employees or make the payments required by the HCAO, and will ensure that your Subcontractors also abide by these requirements. If you cannot provide this assurance, do not return this form.

Minimum Compensation Ordinance (MCO) Declaration What the Ordinance does. The Minimum Compensation Ordinance (MCO) became effective October 8, 2000, and was later amended by the Board of Supervisors, with an effective date for the amendments of October 14, 2007. The MCO requires City contractors and subcontractors to pay Covered Employees a minimum hourly wage and to provide 12 compensated and 10 uncompensated days off per year. The minimum wage rate may change from year to year and Contractor is obligated to keep informed of the then-current requirements.

The MCO applies only if you have at least $25,000 in cumulative annual business with a City department or departments and have more than 5 employees, including employees of any parent, subsidiaries and subcontractors.

The City may require contractors to submit reports on the number of employees affected by the MCO.

Effect on City contracting. For contracts and amendments signed on or after October 8, 2000 the MCO will have the following effect:

• In each contract, the contractor will agree to abide by the MCO and to provide its employees the minimum benefits the MCO requires, and to require its subcontractors subject to MCO to do the same.

• If a contractor does not agree to provide the MCO’s minimum benefits, the City will award a contract to that contractor only if the contractor has received an approved exemption or waiver under MCO from the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement (OLSE) through the contracting Department. The contract will not contain the agreement to abide by the MCO if there is an exemption or waiver on file.

What this form does. If you can assure the City now that, beginning with the first City contract or amendment you receive after October 8, 2000 and until further notice, you will provide the minimum benefit levels specified in the MCO to your covered employees, and will ensure that your subcontractors also subject to the MCO do the same, this will help the City’s contracting process.

If you cannot make this assurance now, please do not return this form.

For more information, (1) see our Website, including the complete text of the ordinance: www.sfgov.org/olse, (2) e-mail us at: MCO@sfgov.org, (3) Phone us at (415) 554-7903.
