<br />(a) In accordance with 41 C.F.R. §60-1.4(b), the Sub -Recipient hereby agrees that it will
<br />incorporate or cause to be incorporated into any contract for construction work, or modification thereof, as
<br />defined in the regulations of the Secretary of Labor at 41 CFR Chapter 60, which is paid for in whole or in
<br />part with funds obtained from the Federal Government or borrowed on the credit of the Federal
<br />Government pursuant to a grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, or undertaken pursuant to any
<br />Federal program involving such grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, the following equal
<br />opportunity clause:
<br />During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:
<br />i. The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or
<br />applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual
<br />orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take
<br />affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that
<br />employees are treated during employment without regard to their race,
<br />color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
<br />Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
<br />Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment
<br />advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of
<br />compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The
<br />contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees
<br />and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the
<br />provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
<br />ii. The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for
<br />employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all
<br />qualified applicants will receive considerations for employment without
<br />regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or
<br />national origin.
<br />iii. The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner
<br />discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because
<br />such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed
<br />the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or
<br />applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an
<br />employee who has access to the compensation information of other
<br />employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job
<br />functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or
<br />applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such
<br />information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint
<br />or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or
<br />action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is
<br />consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
<br />iv. The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of
<br />workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other
<br />contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor
<br />union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments under
<br />this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places
<br />available to employees and applicants for employment.
