About this file
This is an Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Policy Statement template associated with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's (MassDEP) solicitation for pre-qualified consulting engineering firms to support the 2027 EPA Clean Watersheds Needs Survey (CWNS) in Massachusetts. The policy document establishes the mandatory compliance framework for organizations seeking to contract with MassDEP, requiring adherence to federal and state anti-discrimination statutes including Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Massachusetts General Law Chapter 151B Section 4. Organizations must also comply with Massachusetts Executive Orders 592 and 599, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and Federal Executive Orders 11246 and 11375 as amended.
The policy requires all employees, unions, subcontractors, and vendors to make genuine and consistent efforts to ensure equal employment opportunities and implement affirmative action measures to remedy effects of past discrimination. Organizations must designate a responsible employee to implement and monitor policy compliance. The document prohibits retaliation against employees or applicants who file complaints or participate in investigations. No specific pricing, funding amounts, project timelines, or contract term information is detailed in this policy template; it serves as a compliance requirement statement that prospective contractors must acknowledge and adopt as a condition of participating in the MassDEP contracting process.
