NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT FOR

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION to EN-

SURE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OP-

PORTUNITY

1. The Offeror’s or Bidder’s attention

is called to the “Equal Opportunity

Clause” and the “Standard Federal

Equal Employment Opportunity

Construction Contract Specifica-

tions” 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 construc-

tion work in the covered area, are as

follows:

Timetables

Goals for minority participation for

each trade: 3.0%

Goals for female participation in

each trade: 6.9%

These goals are applicable to all of

the Contractor’s construction work

(whether or not it is Federal or

federally assisted) performed in the

covered area. If the Contractor per-

forms construction work in a geo-

graphical area located outside of the

covered area, it shall apply the goals

established for such geographical

area where the work is actually per-

formed. With regard to this second

area, the Contractor also is subject

to the goals for both its federally in-

volved and non-federally involved

construction.

The Contractor’s compliance with

the Executive Order and the regula-

tions in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be

based on its implementation of the

Equal Opportunity Clause, specific

affirmative action obligations re-

quired by the specifications set forth

in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a) and its efforts to

meet the goals. The hours of minori-

ty and female employment and train-

ing must be substantially uniform

throughout the length of the contract,

and in each trade, and the Contrac-

tor shall make a good faith effort to

employ minorities and women even-

ly on each of its projects. The

transfer of minority or female em-

ployees or trainees from Contractor

to Contractor or from project to pro-

ject for the sole purpose of meeting

the Contractor’s goals shall be a vio-

lation of the contract, the Executive

Order and the regulations in 41 CFR

Part 60-4. Compliance with the

goals will be measured against the

total work hours performed.

3. The Contractor shall provide writ-

ten notification to the Director of the

Office of Federal Contract Compli-

ance Programs (OFCCP) within 10

working days of award of any con-

struction 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 subcon-

tractor; employer identification

number of the subcontractor; es-

timated dollar amount of the subcon-

tract; estimated starting and comple-

tion dates of the subcontract; and

the geographical area in which the

subcontract is to be performed.

tion, the “covered area” is North

mare.
