Exhibit_B_-_Nondiscrimination_Assurances.pdf

This is a Nondiscrimination Assurances document applicable to the City of Pasadena's construction management contract for the Holly Street Bridge Seismic Retrofit and Rehabilitation Project, which is federally funded through the Highway Bridge Program administered by the California Department of Transportation. The document establishes the contractual obligations and certifications required of the selected consultant to ensure compliance with federal nondiscrimination laws and regulations. The assurances outline the consultant's commitment to maintain nondiscriminatory practices throughout all phases of contract performance, including hiring, employment, service delivery, and access to facilities.

The nondiscrimination assurances require the consultant to comply with applicable federal civil rights statutes, executive orders, and regulations prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, and other protected characteristics. The consultant must ensure that all subcontractors and vendors also adhere to these nondiscrimination requirements. The document mandates that the consultant implement procedures for receiving, investigating, and resolving discrimination complaints, maintain records documenting compliance efforts, and provide certification of these commitments prior to contract award. These assurances are a mandatory condition of the federally funded contract and reflect requirements imposed by federal funding sources under the Highway Bridge Program.
