quired by Section 43-07-07 of the

North Dakota Century Code. Each

Contractor’s License or Certificate of

The City of Minot reserves the right

to hold all Bids for a period of 30

rebid the project until a satisfactory

bid is received, and to waive any in-

formality or irregularity in any Bid.

The City of Minot is a Title VI com-

munity and requires that all con-

tracts entered into with the City of

Minot comply with all Civil Rights Act

of 1964 Title VI assurances. The as-

surances prohibits discrimination on

the basis of race, color, and national

origin. Specifically, 42 USC 2000d

states that “No person in the United

States shall, on the ground of race,

color, or national origin, be excluded

from participation in, be denied the

benefits of, or be subjected to

discrimination under any program or

activity receiving Federal financial

assistance.” In addition to Title VI,

there are other Nondiscrimination

statutes which include: Section

162(a) of the Federal-Aid Highway

Act of 1973 (23 USC 324) (sex), Age

Discrimination Act of 1975 (age),

and Section 504 of the Rehabilita-

tion Act of 1973/ADA of 1990 (disa-

bility). Taken together, these re-

quirements define an over-arching

Title VI/Nondiscrimination and ADA

Program. Title VI and the additional

Nondiscrimination requirements are

applicable to programs receiving

federal financial assistance due to

the Civil Rights Restoration Act of

1987.

There are two Presidential Executive

Orders that place further emphasis

upon the Title VI protections of race

and national origin. Executive Order

12898 ensures nondiscrimination

against minority populations by

discouraging programs, policies, and

activities with disproportionately high

and adverse human health or en-

vironmental effects on minority and

low-income populations. Executive

Order 13166 directs recipients of

Federal financial assistance that to

ensure compliance with Title VI,

they must take reasonable steps to

ensure that limited English proficien-

cy persons have meaningful access

to their programs.

For all further requirements regard-

ing bid submittal, qualifications, pro-

cedures, and contract award, refer to

the Instructions to Bidders that are

included in the Bidding Documents.

By order of the City Council of the

City of Minot, North Dakota.
