This is an Equal Employment Opportunity Certification of Compliance document issued by the County of San Mateo Department of Public Works for General Construction Job Order Contracts (JOC 2601 through JOC 2605). The certification requires contractors to comply with federal and state non-discrimination laws, including Executive Order 11246, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the California Fair Employment Practices Act, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and San Mateo County Ordinance Code Title 2, Chapter 2.50. Contractors must commit to developing and implementing an Equal Employment Opportunity Program that ensures hiring and employment decisions are made without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, age, ancestry, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, or sex. This commitment extends to all areas of employment, including recruitment, hiring, training, upgrading, transfer, compensation, and termination.

All contractors selected for the Job Order Contracts must submit this certification signed by an authorized representative, demonstrating their commitment to equal employment opportunity compliance. The county requires contractors to provide any additional information necessary to verify implementation of their EEO programs. Non-compliance with these equal employment opportunity provisions may result in penalties, including disqualification from future county contracts. Additionally, contractors must demonstrate compliance with San Mateo County's Equal Benefits Ordinance for contracts exceeding $5,000, ensuring equal treatment of employees with spouses and domestic partners.
