FDEP_Agreement_Exhibit_G.pdf

Exhibit G is a federal document from the Department of Transportation (DOT) detailing assurance requirements for financial assistance agreements and contracts under 49 CFR 26.13. The document outlines mandatory nondiscrimination provisions that must be included in agreements with DOT operating administrations, specifically addressing requirements for recipients and contractors in DOT-assisted contracts and programs.

The document specifies that both recipients and contractors must ensure nondiscrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in contract awards and performance. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in significant consequences, including potential sanctions, withholding of monthly progress payments, assessment of liquidated damages, and disqualification from future bidding. The provisions are legally binding, with potential enforcement through U.S. Code and the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of 1986, emphasizing the critical nature of adhering to these nondiscrimination guidelines in DOT-related contracts and programs.
