NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT FOR

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO

ENSURE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT

OPPORTUNITY

1. The Offeror’s or Bidder’s attention

is called to the “Equal Opportunity

Clause” and the “Standard Federal

Equal

Employment Opportunity Construc-

tion Contract Specifications” set

forth herein.

2. The goals and timetables for

minority and female participation,

expressed in percentage terms for

the Contractor’s

aggregate workforce in each trade

on all construction work in the

covered area, are as follows:

Timetables

Goals for minority participation for

each trade: 2.0%

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

employees or trainees from Contrac-

tor to Contractor or from project to

project for the sole purpose of meet-

ing the Contractor’s goals shall be a

violation of the contract, the Execu-

tive 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;

estimated dollar amount of the sub-

contract; estimated starting and

completion dates of the subcontract;

and the geographical area in which

the subcontract is to be performed.
