ARTICLE 10 — FEDERAL CLAUSES
<br />10.01 Owner and Contractor will adhere to the following, as applicable to this work:
<br />A. Equal Employment Opportunity. During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees
<br />as follows:
<br />(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
<br />because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action
<br />to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment
<br />without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Such action shall include, but
<br />not be limited to the following: Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or
<br />recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and
<br />selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous
<br />places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting
<br />forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
<br />(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on
<br />behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive considerations for
<br />employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
<br />(3) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has
<br />a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided
<br />advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments
<br />under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to
<br />employees and applicants for employment.
<br />(4) The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24,
<br />1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
<br />(5) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of
<br />September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant
<br />thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency
<br />and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules,
<br />regulations, and orders.
<br />(6) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this
<br />contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled,
<br />terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for
<br />further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with
<br />procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other
<br />sanctions as may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of
<br />September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise
<br />provided by law.
<br />(7) The contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (1)
<br />and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (7) in every subcontract or purchase order unless
<br />exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section
<br />204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding
<br />upon each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor will take such action with respect to any
<br />subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing
<br />such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, That in the event a
<br />contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor
<br />as a result of such direction by the administering agency the contractor may request the United
<br />States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
