3. Notice of Requirement for Affirmative Action to Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity (Executive Order 11246)

1. The Bidders' attention is called to the "Equal Opportunity Clause" and the "Standard

Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications" set forth herein.

2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate work force in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows:

Timetable Goals for Minority Participation for Each Trade (11.9)

Goals for Female Participation in Each Trade (6.9)

These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work (whether or not it is federal or federally assisted) performed in the covered area.

The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 C.F.R.

Part 60 4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 C.F.R. 60 4.3

(a), and its efforts to meet the goals established for the geographical area where the contract resulting from this solicitation is to be performed. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the Contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from contractor to contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the contractor's goals shall be a violation of the contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 C.F.R. Part 60 4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

3. The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal

Contract Compliance Programs within ten (10) working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address and telephone number of the subcontractor; employer identification number; estimated dollar amount of the subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical area in which the contract is to be performed.

4. Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension and Other Responsibility Matters

Instructions for Certification:

A. By signing and submitting this Bid, the Bidder is providing the certification set out below.

B. The inability of a Bidder to provide the certification set out below will not necessarily result in denial of participation in this covered transaction. The Bidder shall submit an explanation of why it cannot provide the certification set out below. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with the Authority’s determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the Bidder to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify Bidder.

C. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance by

Authority is placed. If it is later determined that the Bidder knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the

Authority may terminate the awarded contract for cause or default.

D. The Bidder shall provide immediate written notice to Authority if Bidder learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

E. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "participant,"

"person," "principal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used in this clause, are defined in 2

CFR Parts 180 and 1200. “First Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction between a grantee or subgrantee of Federal funds and a participant (such as the prime or general contract). “Lower Tier Covered Transactions” refers to any covered transaction under a First Tier Covered Transaction (such as subcontracts). “First Tier

Participant” refers to the participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a grantee or subgrantee of Federal funds (such as the prime or general contractor). “Lower

Tier Participant” refers any participant who has entered into a covered transaction with a

First Tier Participant or other Lower Tier Participants (such as subcontractors and suppliers).

F. The Bidder agrees by submitting its Bid that, should a contract be entered into, Bidder shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by the Authority.

G. The Bidder further agrees by submitting this Bid that it will include the clause titled

"Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-

Lower Tier Covered Transactions," without modification, in all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions exceeding the

$25,000 threshold.

"Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion-

Lower Tier Covered Transactions”:

1. The prospective lower tier participant certifies, by submission of this proposal, that neither it nor its principals is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participating in covered transactions by any Federal department or agency.

2. Where the prospective lower tier participant is unable to certify to any of the statements in this certification, such prospective participant shall attach an explanation to this proposal.

H. A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify the eligibility of its principals, as well as the eligibility of any lower tier prospective participants, each participant may, but is not required to, check the Excluded Parties List System website (https://www.epls.gov/), which is compiled by the General Services Administration.

I. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require the establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause.

The knowledge and information of the Bidder is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary…
