A. Duplication. Contractor represents and warrants that the work to be performed
under this Agreement shall in no way duplicate any work performed under other agreements
between the City and Contractor, nor under any agreement with any other governmental funding
source, except upon the express written permission of the Department. Costs attributable to the
program and not paid for by the City are not duplication (e.g., program enhancements,
unreimbursed portions of staff salaries) but are subject to the cost allocation provisions set forth
below. Noncompliance with this Section 3.04 shall constitute a material breach of this
Agreement.
B. Cost Allocation Plan. Contractor shall accurately and equitably allocate costs
that are attributable to the operation of two (2) or more programs among such programs, or that
are attributable to two (2) or more governmental funding sources, by a method which represents
the benefit of such costs to each program or funding source. Contractor shall upon
commencement of services or as soon thereafter as practicable develop and deliver to the
Department a cost allocation plan for the Department’s approval.

State and City governments;

Agreement;
3. Fairly and accurately reflects the actual allocable share of such cost with

written approval of the Department if such a modification is requested by Contractor.
E. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 3.04 to the contrary, the
Department further reserves the right to withhold payments to Contractor for allocated costs if
the Department determines that such allocated costs have been incorrectly determined, are not
allowable, or are not properly allocable pursuant to this Agreement and/or approved cost
allocation plan.

Section 3.05 Cost of Living Increases. Where Contractor’s industry has experienced an
increase in costs (e.g., salary, wage or fringe benefit cost of living increases, a change in the
prevailing or living wage, a renegotiated collective bargaining agreement, an industry-wide
increase in the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) for fuel or energy) that exceeds the Budget, and the
Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) or another independent agency has determined in
writing that additional funds will be made available to a City agency for the class of contracts
pursuant to which Contractor provides the same or substantially similar services, then the
Department shall reimburse Contractor for such increases in costs to the extent that such
increases have been authorized by the City for contracts within such class of contracts and to
the extent that funds are appropriated for such purposes. Any cost of living increase will not be
effective unless and until an amendment to the Agreement is registered pursuant to Charter
§328.

Department.

reports and invoices directly related to expenditures for goods and services under this
Agreement, to the Department as reasonably requested by the Department. Contractor

prescribed, without curing the same within ten (10) days of its due date, may result in

A. Procurement Records. Contractor shall retain records that detail the method
of procurement, the basis for selection or rejection of a contractor, consultant or supplier, and
the basis for the contract price. Contractor shall retain proper and sufficient bills, vouchers,

for any payment made or obligation undertaken in connection with this Agreement for
any purchase of goods, supplies, or services (including but not limited to consulting
services) for amounts in excess of $25,000 or, if this Agreement is a federally funded
subrecipient agreement, for amounts in excess of $3,500. The monetary threshold
applies to payments made or obligations undertaken in the course of a one (1) year
period with respect to any one (1) person or entity. Payments made or obligations
undertaken will not be artificially divided in order to avoid the requirements of this
paragraph.
2. For any payment made or obligation undertaken in connection with this
Agreement for any purchase of goods, supplies, or services (including but not limited to
consulting services) for amounts between $5,000 and $25,000, Contractor shall conduct

of such purchased goods, supplies, services or equipment is reasonable.
Notwithstanding the dollar amounts in the previous sentence, if this Agreement is a
federally funded, subrecipient agreement, Contractor shall comply with the procurement
methods required in 2 CFR section 200.320. The monetary thresholds apply to

Human Services Standard Contract Page 5 of 15

respect to any one (1) person or entity. Payments made or obligations undertaken will
not be artificially divided in order to avoid the requirements of this paragraph.
3. The City may retain the services of a Group Purchasing Organization
(GPO) to facilitate the purchase of supplies or other items. If the City retains such a
GPO, the Department may direct Contractor to utilize the services of such GPO. If
Contractor is directed by the Department to use the GPO or if Contractor becomes a
member of and makes purchases through the GPO retained by the City with or without
the City’s direction, Paragraph B shall not apply to those purchases and the procurement
requirements will be satisfied through the use of the GPO.
C. Compliance with State and Federal Law. If this Agreement is funded by a
State or federal grant, additional procurement requirements may apply. To the extent that State
and/or federal procurement requirements conflict with the procurement requirements herein,
Contractor shall comply with the stricter requirement.

property purchased at a price in excess of $5,000 with funds obtained through this Agreement
shall be in the name of the City of New York and title shall pass to Contractor upon the end of
the equipment’s or property’s useful life (as the phrase “useful life” is defined in Internal
Revenue Code § 1.169-2). Contractor shall properly maintain and keep in good repair all
equipment acquired with funds obtained through this Agreement. Contractor shall dispose of
such equipment in the manner directed by the Department, and shall maintain detailed records
concerning such dispositions. At the Department’s request, Contractor must execute a UCC-1 to
evidence the Department’s interest in equipment purchased at a price in excess of $25,000 and
to enable the Department to perfect that interest by filing or otherwise.

individual proprietors listed on the NYC Online Directory of Certified M/WBE Businesses,
available at www.nyc.gov/sbs, as sources for its purchases of goods, supplies, services, and

utilize businesses and individual proprietors owned/operated by people with disabilities as
sources for its purchases of goods, supplies, services, and equipment using funds obtained
through this Agreement.

authority that examines the financial records of Contractor to be improperly incurred, including

Section 4.07 Recoupment of Disallowances, Improperly Incurred Costs and


Overpayments. The Department may, at its option, either require Contractor to reimburse the
Department or withhold for the purposes of set-off any monies due to Contractor under this

audits of Contractor due to negligence directly caused by Contractor, its affiliates and/or
subcontractors, where Contractor is unable to cure the same, the amount of any overpayment to

Department will provide Contractor with an opportunity to be heard upon at least ten (10) days’
prior written notice. Notwithstanding this Section 4.07, Contractor shall not be financially or
legally responsible for any losses, claims, damages, or incurred costs resulting from the

profession’s services in New York State, Contractor shall promptly inform the Department or
other entity seeking to observe such work or activity

failure to exercise a minimum degree of care that impairs, or places in imminent danger of being
impaired, the physical, mental or emotional condition of a program participant. Contractor shall
provide telephone notice to the Department within twenty-four (24) hours of determining that
reasonable cause exists, followed by a written report, to be delivered to the Department within
three (3) business days. Compliance with this reporting requirement does not satisfy any other
legally mandated reporting of abuse, such as to the New York State Central Registry (“SCR”).

ARTICLE 2. HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT AND
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
[Applicable to Contractors and Subrecipients]
This Agreement is subject to Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974
(P.L. 93-383) as amended (The Act) and all rules, regulations and requirements now issued or
hereafter issued pursuant to the Act; the Agreement may be suspended and/or terminated without

ARTICLE 3. LABOR REQUIREMENTS


[Applicable to Contractors and Subrecipients; must be included in all subcontracts]
(a) Section 3. This Agreement is subject to Section 3 of the Housing and Urban
Development Act of 1968 (P.L. 90-448) and implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 75,
as may be amended during the term of this Agreement. Pursuant to 24 CFR § 75.19, the

1. The work to be performed under this Agreement is subject to the requirements of


Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. §
1701 u (Section 3) and 24 CFR Part 75. The purpose of Section 3 is to ensure that
economic opportunities, most importantly employment, generated by HUD assistance or
HUD-assisted projects covered by Section 3 shall, be directed to low- and very low-
income persons, particularly persons who are recipients of government assistance for
housing or residents of the community in which Federal assistance in spent.

2. Section 3 Requirements. In addition to any other requirements contained in 24


CFR Part 75, the following shall apply:
a. Employment and Training
(1) To the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing
Federal, state, and local laws and regulations, Contractor shall ensure
that employment and training opportunities arising in connection with
Section 3 projects are provided to Section 3 workers within the

CDBG Rider Page 2


metropolitan area (or nonmetropolitan county) in which the project is
located.
(2) Where feasible, priority for opportunities and training described
in subsection (a)(1) of should be given to:
(i) Section 3 workers residing within the service area or the
neighborhood of the project, and
(ii) Participants in YouthBuild programs.

b. Contracting.
(1) To the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing
Federal, state, and local laws and regulations, recipients covered by this
subpart shall ensure contracts for work awarded in connection with
Section 3 projects are provided to business concerns that provide
economic opportunities to Section 3 workers residing within the
metropolitan area (or nonmetropolitan county) in which the project is
located.
(2) Where feasible, priority for contracting opportunities described
in paragraph (b)(1) of this section should be given to:
(i) Section 3 business concerns that provide economic
opportunities to Section 3 workers residing within the service
area or the neighborhood of the project, and
(ii) YouthBuild programs.

(b) The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141 et seq.). In Construction contracts involving
an excess of $2000, unless exclusively in connection with the rehabilitation of residential
property containing fewer than 8 units, the Contractor shall pay and the Subrecipient shall
cause its contractors to pay all laborers and mechanics at a rate not less than those
determined by the Secretary of Labor to be prevailing for the City, which rates are to be
provided by the Agency. These wage rates are a federally mandated minimum only, and
will be superseded by any State or City requirement mandating higher wage rates. The
Contractor also agrees to comply with Department of Labor Regulations pursuant to the
Davis-Bacon Act found in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, 5 and 7, which enforce statutory labor
standards provisions. This provision supersedes section D(1)(a) of the Uniform
Federal Contract Provisions Rider for Federally Funded Procurement Contracts.

(c) Overtime. In Construction contracts involving an excess of $2000, and subject to the
exception in 24 CFR section 570.603 (regarding the rehabilitation of residential property
containing less than 8 units), Contractor shall comply and the Subrecipient shall cause its
contractor to comply with sections 103 and 107 of the Contract Work Hours and Safe
Standards Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3701 et seq.), which provides that no laborer or mechanic
shall be required or permitted to work more than eight hours in a calendar day or in
excess of forty hours in any workweek, unless such laborer or mechanic is paid at an
overtime rate of 1½ times his/her basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of these
limits. In the event of a violation of this provision, the Contractor shall not only be liable
to any affected employee for his/her unpaid wages, but shall be additionally liable to the
United States for liquidated damages. This provision supersedes section D(1)(b) of the
Uniform Federal Contract Provisions Rider for Federally Funded Procurement
Contracts.

CDBG Rider Page 3


ARTICLE 4. ADDITIONAL FEDERAL CONDITIONS FOR
CONSTRUCTION FOR SUBRECIPIENTS
[Applicable to Subrecipients. A similar provision for Contractors is included in the Uniform
Federal Contract Provisions Rider for Federally Funded Procurement Contracts at section
D(1)(c)-(d), (2), and (3).]
If this Agreement involves Construction work, design for Construction, or Construction services,
all such work or services performed by the Subrecipient and its Subcontractors shall be subject to
the following requirements:

(a) Impermissible Salary Deductions. In Construction contracts of any amount, the


Subrecipient shall cause its Subcontractor to comply with the Copeland “Anti-Kickback”
Act (18 U.S.C. § 874), as supplemented by the regulations contained in 29 CFR Part 3,
requiring that all laborers and mechanics shall be paid unconditionally and not less often
than once a week, and prohibiting all but “permissible” salary deductions.

(b) Federal Labor Standards. In Construction contracts of any amount, the Subrecipient
shall cause its Subcontractors to comply with the more detailed statement of Federal
Labor Standards annexed hereto as FEDERAL EXHIBIT 2.

(c) Equal Employment Opportunity. In Construction contracts or subcontracts in excess of


$10,000, the Subrecipient shall cause its Subcontractors to comply with Executive Order
11246, as amended by Executive Order 11375, and as supplemented in Department of
Labor regulations (41 CFR chapter 60). Subrecipient shall include the following
Specifications, which are required pursuant to 41 CFR § 60-4.3 in all federally assisted
contracts and subcontracts. For the purposes of the Equal Opportunity Construction
Contract Specifications and Clause below, the term “Construction Work” means the
construction, rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, extension, demolition or repair of
buildings, highways, or other changes or improvements to real property, including
facilities providing utility services. The term also includes the supervision, inspection,
and other onsite functions incidental to the actual construction.

Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract


Specifications for Contracts and Subcontracts in Excess of $10,000. (Federal Notice
Required by 41 CFR § 60-4.3)
1. As used in these specifications:
a. “Covered area” means the geographical area described in the solicitation
from which this contract resulted;
b. “Director” means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs, United States Department of Labor, or any person to whom the
Director delegates authority;
c. “Employer identification number” means the Federal Social Security
number used on the Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury
Department Form 941.
d. “Minority” includes:
(i) Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African
racial groups not of Hispanic origin);

CDBG Rider Page 4


(ii) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central
or South American or other Spanish Culture or origin, regardless of
race);
(iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of
the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian
Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and
(iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins
in any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining
identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or
community identification).

2. Whenever the contractor or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion


of the work involving any Construction trade, it shall physically include in each
subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice
which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set
forth in the solicitations from which this Agreement resulted.

3. If the contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR § 60-4.5) in a Hometown


Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or
through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area
(including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades
which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate
their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan.
Each contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually
required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a good faith
effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The
overall good faith performance by other contractors or subcontractors toward a goal in an
approved Plan does not excuse any covered contractor’s or subcontractor’s failure to take
good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.

4. The contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided
in paragraphs 7 a through p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation
from which this Agreement resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of
employment and training of minority and female utilization the contractor should
reasonably be able to achieve in each Construction trade in which it has employees in the
covered area. Covered Construction contractors performing Construction Work in
geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted Construction
contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical areas
where the work is being performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal
Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal
Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement contracting officers.
The contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in
each craft during the period specified.

5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by
a union with whom the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either
minorities or women shall excuse the contractor’s obligations under these specifications,
Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.

CDBG Rider Page 5


6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be
counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the
contractor during the training period, and the contractor must have made a commitment
to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the
availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training
programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.

7. The contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment
opportunity. The evaluation of the contractor’s compliance with these specifications
shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The
contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps
at least as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment,
intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the
contractor’s employees are assigned to work. The contractor, where possible,
will assign two or more women to each Construction project. The contractor
shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other on-site
supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the contractor’s obligation to
maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or
female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities.
b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment
sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources
and to community organizations when the contractor or its unions have
employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organization’s
responses.
c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of
each minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral
from a union, a recruitment source or community organization and of what action
was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the
union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the contractor by the
union or, if referred, not employed by the contractor, this shall be documented in
the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional actions the
contractor may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or
unions with which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not
referred to the contractor a minority person or woman sent by the contractor, or
when the contractor has other information that the union referral process has
impeded the contractor’s efforts to meet its obligations.
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training
programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including
upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the
contractor’s employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved
by the Department of Labor. The contractor shall provide notice of these
programs to the sources compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the contractor’s EEO policy by providing notice of the
policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in
assisting the contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any
policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the
company newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all

CDBG Rider Page 6


management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once
a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to
all employees at each location where Construction Work is performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the company’s EEO policy and affirmative
action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any
responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other employment
decisions including specific review of these items with on-site supervisory
personnel such as Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., prior to the initiation
of Construction Work at any job site. A written record shall be made and
maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending,
subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter.
h. Disseminate the contractor’s EEO policy externally by including it in any
advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news
media, and providing written notification to and discussing the contractor’s EEO
policy with other contractors and subcontractors with whom the contractor does
or anticipates doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female
and community organizations, to schools with minority and female students and
to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the
contractor’s recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month
prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other
training by any recruitment source, the contractor shall send written notification
to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening
procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process.
j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other
minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school,
summer and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site
and in other areas of a contractor’s work force.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an
obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3.
l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all
minority and female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage these
employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such
opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and
other personnel practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by continually
monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the
EEO policy and the contractor’s obligations under these specifications are being
carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are non-segregated
except that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be
provided to assure privacy between the sexes.
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for
subcontracts from minority and female Construction contractors and suppliers,
including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor
associations and other business associations.

CDBG Rider Page 7


p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor’s adherence to and
performance under the Contractor’s EEO policies and affirmative action
obligations.

8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist


in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through p). The
efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other
similar group of which the contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as
fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a through p of these specifications
provided that the contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to
assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women
in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the Program are reflected in the
contractor’s minority and female work force participation, makes a good faith effort to
meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which
demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the contractor. The
obligation to comply, however, is the contractor’s and failure of such a group to fulfill an
obligation shall not be a defense for the contractor’s noncompliance.

9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been
established. The contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment
opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female,
and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the contractor may be in
violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially
disparate manner (for example, even though the contractor has achieved its goals for
women generally, the contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific
minority group of women is underutilized).

10. The contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action
standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, or national origin.

11. The contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or firm
debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246 or suspended or
is otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in federal assistance programs.

12. The contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these
specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination
and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to
Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of
Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any contractor who fails to carry out such
sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order
11246, as amended.

13. The contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall
implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards
prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from
its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the contractor fails to comply with
the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these
specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR § 60-4.8.

CDBG Rider Page 8


14. The contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment
related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit
reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government and to
keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee the name, address,
telephone numbers, Construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification
number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic,
apprentice trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week
in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed.
Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however,
to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be
required to maintain separate records.

15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of
other laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of
requirements for hiring of local or other areas residents (e.g., those under the Public
Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant
Program).

B. Equal Opportunity Clause

Subrecipient shall include the following provisions, which are required by 41 CFR § 60-
1.4(b), in all federally assisted contracts and subcontracts.
During the performance of this contract, the Contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant
for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, or national origin. The Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure
that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment
without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the
following:
Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment
advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation;
and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post
in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment,
notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination
clause.
(2) The Contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees
placed by or on behalf of the Contractor, state that all qualified applicants will
receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
(3) The Contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate
against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or
applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the
employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not
apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation
information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's
essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or
applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information,
unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in

CDBG Rider Page 9


furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an
investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the Contractor's
legal duty to furnish information.
(4) The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers
with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or
understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers'
representatives of the Contractor's commitments under this section, and shall post

clearances, in writing, for the use of such non-original material under this Contract,
copies of which shall be provided to the City upon execution of this Contract.

of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection
with this Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, it will

Report Lobbying,” (which is available on the HUD website or here:
https://www.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/HUD-Form-Sflll.pdf) in

documents for all subawards at all tiers (including subcontracts, subgrants, and

Goals and Timetables for Women

From April 1, 1980 until the present ...................................................................6.9

These goals are applicable to all the Contractor’s Construction Work (whether or not it is Federal
or federally assisted) performed in the covered area. If the Contractor performs Construction
Work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals
established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this
second area, the Contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and non-
federally involved Construction.

CDBG Rider Page 19


The Contractor’s compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4
shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action
obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the
goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform
throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the Contractor shall made a good
faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of
minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project
for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor’s goals shall be a violation 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 written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal
Contract Compliance Programs within 10 working days of award of any Construction 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
subcontractor; employer identification number of the subcontractor; estimated dollar amount of
the subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical
area in which the contract is to be performed.

4. As used in this Agreement, the “covered area” is the City of New York.

ref. Handbook 1344.1
UNIFORM FEDERAL CONTRACT PROVISIONS RIDER
FOR FEDERALLY FUNDED PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS
(Version 01.20.2021)

[Instructions to Agencies: This Uniform Federal Contract Provisions Rider for Federally Funded
Procurement Contracts (“Rider”) must be attached to all federally funded procurement contracts (of
any dollar amount) that are subject to 2 CFR Part 200 (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards). This Rider does not apply to subrecipient or
subaward agreements. Procurement contracts funded by HUD’s CDBG Program, CDBG-DR Program,
or by FEMA must also include the program-specific rider.]

A. Definitions. As used in this Rider:

(1) “Awarding Entity” means the entity awarding the Contract. The Awarding Entity may be
the City or a contractor at any tier.

(2) “City” means the City of New York.

(3) “Commissioner” means the head of the City agency entering into this Contract.

(4) “Construction” means the building, rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, extension,


demolition, painting or repair of any improvement to real property.

(5) “Contract” refers to the contract or the agreement between the Awarding Entity and the
Contractor.

(6) “Contractor” means the entity performing the services pursuant to a Contract.

(7) “Federal Agency” means the U.S. agency or agencies funding this Contract in whole or in
part.

(8) “Government” means the U.S. government.

(9) “Rider” means this Uniform Federal Contract Provisions Rider.

B. Termination and Remedies for Breach of Contract. The following provisions concerning
remedies for breach of contract and termination apply to Contracts between the City and the
City’s Contractor.

(1) Remedies for Breach of Contract. If the Contractor violates or breaches the Contract,
the City may avail itself of any or all of the remedies provided for elsewhere in this
Contract. If there are no remedies provided for elsewhere in this Contract, the City may
avail itself of any or all of the following remedies.

After declaring the Contractor in default pursuant to the procedures in paragraph (a) of
subdivision (2) of this section (B) below, the City may (i) withhold payment for
unsatisfactory services, (ii) suspend or terminate the Contract in whole or in part; and/or
(iii) have the services under this Contract completed by such means and in such manner,
by contract procured with or without competition, or otherwise, as the City may deem
advisable in accordance with all applicable Contract provisions and law. After

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 1


completion of the services under this Contract, the City shall certify the expense incurred
in such completion, which shall include the cost of procuring that contract. Should the
expense of such completion, as certified by the City, exceed the total sum which would
have been payable under the Contract if it had been completed by the Contractor, any
excess shall be promptly paid by the Contractor upon demand by the City. The excess
expense of such completion, including any and all related and incidental costs, as so
certified by the City may be charged against and deducted out of monies earned by the
Contractor.

(2) Termination. The City shall have the right to terminate the Contract in whole or in part
for cause, for convenience, due to force majeure, or due to reductions in federal funding.
If the Contract does not include termination provisions elsewhere, the following
termination provisions apply:
a. Termination for Cause. The City shall have the right to terminate the Contract,
in whole or in part, for cause upon a determination that the Contractor is in
default of the Contract. Unless a shorter time is determined by the City to be
necessary, the City shall effect termination according to the following procedure:
i. Notice to Cure. The City shall give written notice of the conditions of
default signed by the Commissioner, setting forth the ground or grounds
upon which such default is declared (“Notice to Cure”). The Contractor
shall have ten (10) days from receipt of the Notice to Cure or any longer
period that is set forth in the Notice to Cure to cure the default. The
Commissioner may temporarily suspend services under the Contract
pending the outcome of the default proceedings pursuant to this section.
ii. Opportunity to be Heard. If the conditions set forth in the Notice to Cure
are not cured within the period set forth in the Notice to Cure, the
Commissioner may declare the Contractor in default. Before the
Commissioner may exercise his or her right to declare the Contractor in
default, the Contractor must be given an opportunity to be heard upon
not less than five (5) business days’ notice. The Commissioner may, in
his or her discretion, provide for such opportunity to be in writing or in
person. Such opportunity to be heard shall not occur prior to the end of
the cure period but notice of such opportunity to be heard may be given
prior to the end of the cure period and may be given contemporaneously
with the Notice to Cure.
iii. Notice of Termination. After an opportunity to be heard, the
Commissioner may terminate the Contract, in whole or in part, upon
finding the Contractor in default. The Commissioner shall give the
Contractor written notice of such termination (“Notice of Termination”),
specifying the applicable provision(s) under which the Contract is
terminated and the effective date of termination. If no date is specified in
the Notice of Termination, the termination shall be effective either 10
calendar days from the date the notice is personally delivered or 15
calendar days from the date Notice of Termination is sent by another
method. The Notice of Termination shall be personally delivered, sent by
certified mail return receipt requested, or sent by fax and deposited in a
post office box regularly maintained by the United States Postal Service
in a postage pre-paid envelope.

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 2


iv. Grounds for Default. The City shall have the right to declare the
Contractor in default:
1. Upon a breach by the Contractor of a material term or
condition of this Contract, including unsatisfactory performance of the
services;
2. Upon insolvency or the commencement of any
proceeding by or against the Contractor, either voluntarily or
involuntarily, under the Bankruptcy Code or relating to the insolvency,
receivership, liquidation, or composition of the Contractor for the benefit
of creditors;
3. If the Contractor refuses or fails to proceed with the
services under the Contract when and as directed by the Commissioner;
4. If the Contractor or any of its officers, directors,
partners, five percent (5%) or greater shareholders, principals, or other
employee or person substantially involved in its activities are indicted or
convicted after execution of the Contract under any state or federal law
of any of the following:
a. a criminal offense incident to obtaining or
attempting to obtain or performing a public or private contract;
b. fraud, embezzlement, theft, bribery, forgery,
falsification, or destruction of records, or receiving stolen
property;
c. a criminal violation of any state or federal
antitrust law;
d. violation of the Racketeer Influence and Corrupt
Organization Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq., or the Mail Fraud
Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1341 et seq., for acts in connection with the
submission of bids or proposals for a public or private contract;
e. conspiracy to commit any act or omission that
would constitute grounds for conviction or liability under any
statute described in subparagraph (d) above; or
f. an offense indicating a lack of business integrity
that seriously and directly affects responsibility as a City vendor.
5. If the Contractor or any of its officers, directors,
partners, five percent (5%) or greater shareholders, principals, or other
employee or person substantially involved in its activities are subject to a
judgment of civil liability under any state or federal antitrust law for acts
or omissions in connection with the submission of bids or proposals for a
public or private contract; or
6. If the Contractor or any of its officers, directors,
partners, five percent (5%) or greater shareholders, principals, or other
employee or person substantially involved in its activities makes or
causes to be made any false, deceptive, or fraudulent material statement,
or fail to make a required material statement in any bid, proposal, or
application for City or other government work.

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 3


v. Basis of Settlement. The City shall not incur or pay any further obligation
pursuant to this Contract beyond the termination date set by the City in
its Notice of Termination. The City shall pay for satisfactory services
provided in accordance with this Contract prior to the termination date.
In addition, any obligation necessarily incurred by the Contractor on
account of this Contract prior to receipt of notice of termination and
falling due after the termination date shall be paid by the City in
accordance with the terms of this Contract. In no event shall such
obligation be construed as including any lease or other occupancy
agreement, oral or written, entered into between the Contractor and its
landlord.

b. Termination for Convenience. The City shall have the right to terminate the
Contract for convenience, by providing written notice (“Notice of Termination”)
according to the following procedure. The Notice of Termination shall specify
the applicable provision(s) under which the Contract is terminated and the
effective date of termination, which shall be not less than 10 calendar days from
the date the notice is personally delivered or 15 days from the date the Notice of
Termination is sent by another method. The Notice of Termination shall be
personally delivered, sent by certified mail return receipt requested, or sent by
fax and deposited in a post office box regularly maintained by the United States
Postal Service in a postage pre-paid envelope. The basis of settlement shall be as
provided for in subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a) of subdivision (2) of this
section (B), above.

c. Termination due to Force Majeure


i. For purposes of this Contract, a force majeure event is an act or event
beyond the control and without any fault or negligence of the Contractor
(“Force Majeure Event”). Force Majeure Events may include, but are not
limited to, fire, flood, earthquake, storm or other natural disaster, civil
commotion, war, terrorism, riot, and labor disputes not brought about by
any act or omission of the Contractor.
ii. In the event the Contractor cannot comply with the terms of the Contract
(including any failure by the Contractor to make progress in the
performance of the services) because of a Force Majeure Event, then the
Contractor may ask the Commissioner to excuse the nonperformance
and/or terminate the Contract. If the Commissioner, in his or her
reasonable discretion, determines that the Contractor cannot comply with
the terms of the Contract because of a Force Majeure Event, then the
Commissioner shall excuse the nonperformance and may terminate the
Contract. Such a termination shall be deemed to be without cause.
iii. If the City terminates the Contract due to a Force Majeure Event, the
basis of settlement shall be as provided for in subparagraph (v) of
paragraph (a) of subdivision (2) of this section (B), above.

d. Termination due to Reductions in Federal Funding


i. This Contract is funded in whole or in part by funds secured from the
Federal government. Should the Federal government reduce or
discontinue such funds, the City shall have, in its sole discretion, the

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 4


right to terminate this Contract in whole or in part, or to reduce the
funding and/or level of services of this Contract caused by such action by
the Federal government, including, in the case of the reduction option,
but not limited to, the reduction or elimination of programs, services or
service components; the reduction or elimination of contract-
reimbursable staff or staff-hours, and corresponding reductions in the
budget of this Contract and in the total amount payable under this
Contract. Any reduction in funds pursuant to this paragraph shall be
accompanied by an appropriate reduction in the services performed
under this Contract.
ii. In the case of the reduction option referred to in subparagraph (i), above,
any such reduction shall be effective as of the date set forth in a written
notice thereof to the Contractor, which shall be not less than 30 calendar
days from the date of such notice. Prior to sending such notice of
reduction, the City shall advise the Contractor that such option is being
exercised and afford the Contractor an opportunity to make within seven
calendar days any suggestion(s) it may have as to which program(s),
service(s), service component(s), staff or staff-hours might be reduced or
eliminated, provided, however, that the City shall not be bound to utilize
any of the Contractor’s suggestions and that the City shall have sole
discretion as to how to effectuate the reductions.
iii. If the City reduces funding pursuant to this paragraph (d), the basis of
settlement shall be as provided for in subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a)
of subdivision (2) of this section (B), above.

C. Standard Provisions. The Contractor shall comply with, include in its subcontracts, and cause its
subcontractors to comply with the following provisions, as applicable:
(1) Reporting. Contractor shall be required to produce and deliver such reports relating to the
services performed under the Contract as may be required by the Awarding Entity, City
or any other State or Federal governmental agency with jurisdiction.
(2) Non-Discrimination. Contractor shall not violate any Federal, State, or City law
prohibiting discrimination concerning employment, the provision of services, and, if
applicable, housing, funded by this Contract.
(3) Environmental Protection. If the Contract is in excess of $150,000, the Contractor shall
comply with all applicable standards, orders, or regulations issued under the Clean Air
Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401-7671q), Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended (33
U.S.C. §§ 1251-1387), Section 508 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1368), Executive
Order 11738, and Environmental Protection Agency regulations (provisions of 40 CFR
Part 50 and 2 CFR Part 1532 related to the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act).
Violations must be reported to the Federal Agency and the Regional Office of the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Contractor shall include this provision in
all subcontracts.
(4) Energy Efficiency. The Contractor shall comply with mandatory standards and policies
relating to energy efficiency that are contained in the New York State energy
conservation plan issued in compliance with the Energy Policy Conservation Act (Pub. L.
94-163).

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 5


(5) Debarment. The Contractor certifies that neither it nor its principals or affiliates are
currently in a state of debarment, suspension, exclusion, disqualification, or other
ineligible status as a result of prior performance, failure, fraud, or violation of City or
New York State laws. The Contractor further certifies that neither it nor its principals or
affiliates are debarred, suspended, excluded, disqualified, or otherwise ineligible for
participation in Federal assistance programs. The City reserves the right to terminate this
Contract if knowledge of debarment, suspension, exclusion, disqualification or other
ineligibility has been withheld by the Contractor.

(6) Lobbying. The Contractor certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that:
a. No Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid, by or on behalf of
it, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee
of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an
employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any
Federal contract, the making of any Federal grant, the making of any Federal
loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension,
continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any Federal contract,
grant, loan, or cooperative agreement;
b. If any funds other than Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will
be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an
officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer
or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress
in connection with this Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative
agreement, it will complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, "Disclosure Form
to Report Lobbying," (which is available on the HUD website or
here: https://www.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/HUD-Form-Sflll.pdf)
in accordance with its instructions; and
c. It will require that the language of this Section (C)(6) be included in the award
documents for all subcontracts at all tiers.
d. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was
placed when this transaction was made or entered into. Submission of this
certification is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction imposed
by 31 U.S.C. § 1352. Any person who fails to file the required certification shall
be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000
for each such failure.

States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101, and the City shall be the copyright owner
thereof and of all aspects, elements and components thereof in which copyright

assigns and conveys exclusive copyright ownership in and to the Copyrightable
Materials to the City, free and clear of any liens, claims, or other encumbrances.
The Contractor shall retain no copyright or intellectual property interest in the
Copyrightable Materials. The Copyrightable Materials shall be used by the

the prior written permission of the City. The City may grant the Contractor a
license to use the Copyrightable Materials on such terms as determined by the
City and set forth in the license.

(c) The Contractor acknowledges that the City may, in its sole discretion, register

such non-original material under this Contract, copies of which shall be provided
to the City upon execution of this Contract.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly and fully report to the City any discovery or
invention arising out of or developed in the course of performance of this
Contract and the Contractor shall promptly and fully report to the Government to

this Agreement, or with the results of such performance, the City shall have a
royalty-free, non-exclusive irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or
otherwise use such work for City governmental purposes.

D. Special Provisions for Construction Contracts. If this Contract involves Construction work,
design for Construction, or Construction services, all such work or services performed by the
Contractor and its subcontractors shall be subject to the following requirements in addition to
those set forth above in paragraphs (A), (B), and (C):

(1) Federal Labor Standards. The Contractor will comply with the following:
(a) The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3141-3148): If required by the federal
program legislation, in Construction contracts involving an excess of $2000, and
subject to any other federal program limitations, all laborers and mechanics must
be paid at a rate not less than those determined by the Secretary of Labor to be
prevailing for the City, which rates are to be provided by the City. These wage
rates are a federally mandated minimum only, and will be superseded by any
State or City requirement mandating higher wage rates. The Contractor also
agrees to comply with Department of Labor Regulations pursuant to the Davis-
Bacon Act found in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, 5 and 7 which enforce statutory labor
standards provisions.
(b) If required by the federal program legislation and subject to any other federal
program limitations, Sections 103 and 107 of the Contract Work Hours and Safe
Standards Act (40 U.S.C. §§ 3701-3708), which provides that no laborer or
mechanic shall be required or permitted to work more than eight hours in a
calendar day or in excess of forty hours in any workweek, unless such laborer or
mechanic is paid at an overtime rate of 1½ times his/her basic rate of pay for all
hours worked in excess of these limits, under any Construction contract costing
in excess of $2000. In the event of a violation of this provision, the Contractor
shall not only be liable to any affected employee for his/her unpaid wages, but
shall be additionally liable to the United States for liquidated damages.
(c) Copeland Anti-Kickback Act: If required by the federal program legislation and
subject to any other federal program limitations: (i) the Contractor shall comply
with 18 U.S.C. § 874, 40 U.S.C. § 3145, and the requirements of 29 C.F.R. Part 3
as may be applicable, which are incorporated by reference into this Contract; (ii)
The Contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the language
contained in (i) of this subsection and also a clause requiring the subcontractors
to include the language in subsection (i) in any lower tier subcontracts. The
Contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower
tier subcontractor of this subsection; and (iii) A breach of this subsection may be
grounds for termination of the Contract, and for debarment as a contractor or
subcontractor as provided in 29 C.F.R. § 5.12.
(d) If this Contract involves Construction work, design for Construction, or
Construction services, a more complete detailed statement of Federal Labor
Standards annexed hereto as FEDERAL EXHIBIT 2. If there is a conflict
between the provisions of this Article D and FEDERAL EXHIBIT 2, the stricter
standard shall be controlling.

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 10


(2) Equal Employment Opportunity. Executive Order 11246, as amended, and as
supplemented in Department of Labor regulations (41 CFR chapter 60) for Construction
contracts or subcontracts in excess of $10,000. The Contractor shall include the notice
found at FEDERAL EXHIBIT I in all Construction subcontracts. For the purposes of the
Equal Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications and Clause below, the term
“Construction Work” means the construction, rehabilitation, alteration, conversion,
extension, demolition or repair of buildings, highways, or other changes or improvements
to real property, including facilities providing utility services. The term also includes the
supervision, inspection, and other onsite functions incidental to the actual construction .

Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications for


Contracts and Subcontracts in Excess of $10,000.

1. As used in these specifications:


a. “Covered area” means the geographical area described in the solicitation
from which this Contract resulted;
b. “Director” means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs, United States Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director
delegates authority;
c. “Employer identification number” means the Federal Social Security
number used on the Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department
Form 941.
d. “Minority” includes:
(i) Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African
racial groups not of Hispanic origin);
(ii) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central
or South American or other Spanish Culture or origin, regardless of race);
(iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of
the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or
the Pacific Islands); and
(iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins
in any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable
tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community
identification).

2. Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion


of the work involving any Construction trade, it shall physically include in each
subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice
which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set
forth in the solicitations from which this Contract resulted.

3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown


Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or
through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area
(including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades
which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate
their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan.

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 11


Each Contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually
required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a good faith
effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The
overall good faith performance by other Contractors or subcontractors toward a goal in an
approved Plan does not excuse any covered Contractor’s or subcontractor’s failure to take
good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.

4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards


provided in paragraphs 7 a through p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the
solicitation from which this Contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total
hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor
should reasonably be able to achieve in each Construction trade in which it has
employees in the covered area. Covered Construction Contractors performing
Construction Work in geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or federally
assisted Construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for
the geographical areas where the work is being performed. Goals are published
periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained
from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal
procurement contracting officers. The Contractor is expected to make substantially
uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified.

5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by
a union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either
minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor’s obligations under these specifications,
Executive Order 11246 as amended, or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto.

6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be


counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the
Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a commitment
to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the
availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training
programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.

7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal


employment opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor’s compliance with these
specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions.
The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action
steps at least as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment,
intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor’s
employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, will assign two or
more women to each Construction project. The Contractor shall specifically ensure that
all foremen, superintendents, and other on-site supervisory personnel are aware of and
carry out the Contractor’s obligation to maintain such a working environment, with
specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such
facilities.
b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment
sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to
community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have employment
opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organization’s responses.

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 12


c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of
each minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral from a
union, a recruitment source or community organization and of what action was taken with
respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for
referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not
employed by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor,
along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or
unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred
to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the
Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the
Contractor’s efforts to meet its obligations.
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training
programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including
upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Contractor’s
employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of
Labor. The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled
under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy by providing notice of the
policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the
Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and
collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newspaper, annual
report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all
minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO
policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where Construction
Work is performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the company’s EEO policy and affirmative
action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any responsibility
for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other employment decisions including
specific review of these items with on-site supervisory personnel such as
Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of Construction Work at
any job site. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and
place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of
the subject matter.
h. Disseminate the Contractor’s EEO policy externally by including it in
any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news
media, and providing written notification to and discussing the Contractor’s EEO policy
with other Contractors and subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates
doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female
and community organizations, to schools with minority and female students and to
minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the Contractor’s
recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the
acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source,
the Contractor shall send written notification to organizations such as the above,
describing the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection
process.

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 13


j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other
minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer and
vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other areas of
a Contractor’s work force.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an
obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3.

l. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all


minority and female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage these
employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and
other personnel practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring
all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the
Contractor’s obligations under these specifications are being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are non-segregated
except that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be
provided to assure privacy between the sexes.
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for
subcontracts from minority and female Construction contractors and suppliers, including
circulation of solicitations to minority and female Contractor associations and other
business associations.
p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor’s adherence to and
performance under the Contractor’s EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.

8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in


fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through p). The efforts of a
Contractor association, joint Contractor-union, Contractor-community, or other similar group of
which the Contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more
of its obligations under 7a through p of these specifications provided that the Contractor actively
participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the
employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the
Program are reflected in the Contractor’s minority and female work force participation, makes a
good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to
documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor.
The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor’s and failure of such a group to fulfill an
obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor’s noncompliance.

9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established.
The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take
affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority
and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a
particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the
Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the
Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized).

10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to
discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, or national origin.

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 14


11. The Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or firm debarred
from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246 or suspended or is otherwise
excluded from or ineligible for participation in federal assistance programs.

12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these
specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination and
cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order
11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs. Any Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall
be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended.

13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement
specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7
of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal
employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the
Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed
in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.

14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related
activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to
the provisions hereof as may be required by the Government and to keep records. Records shall
at least include for each employee the name, address, telephone numbers, Construction trade,
union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number,
race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status,
hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was
performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form;
however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, Contractors shall not be
required to maintain separate records.

15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other
laws which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements
for hiring of local or other areas residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of
1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program).

(3) Equal Opportunity Clause (for contracts for Construction Work) required by 41 CFR § 60-
1.4(b).

During the performance of this contract, the Contractor agrees as follows:

(1) The Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The
Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees
are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the
following:

Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising;


layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for
training, including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places,
available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting
forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 15


(2) The Contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on
behalf of the Contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for
employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or
national origin.

(3) The Contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any
employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about,
discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or
applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the
compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee’s essential
job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals
who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a
formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action,
including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the Contractor’s legal
duty to furnish information.

(4) The Contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he
has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided
advising the said labor union or workers’ representatives of the Contractor’s commitments under
this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and
applicants for employment.

(5) The Contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September
24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.

(6) The Contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order
11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or
pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering
agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such
rules, regulations, and orders.

(7) In the event of the Contractor’s noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this
contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled,
terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the Contractor may be declared ineligible for
further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with
procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions
may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24,
1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.

(8) The Contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph
(1) and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless
exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204
of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon
each subcontractor or vendor. The Contractor will take such action with respect to any
subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing
such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a Contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened
with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the
administering agency, the Contractor may request the United States to enter into such
litigation to protect the interests of the United States.

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 17


(b) Allocation of Principal Rights. The Contractor may retain the entire right, title,
and interest throughout the world to each subject invention subject to the
provisions of this clause and 35 U.S.C. 203. With respect to any subject
invention in which the Contractor retains title, the Federal government shall have
a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have
practiced for or on behalf of the United States the subject invention throughout
the world.
(c) Invention Disclosure, Election of Title and Filing of Patent Application by
Contractor.
i. The Contractor will disclose each subject invention to the City and the
Federal Agency within two months after the inventor discloses it in
writing to Contractor personnel responsible for patent matters. Such
disclosure shall be in the form of a written report and shall identify the
contract under which the invention was made and the inventor(s). It shall
be sufficiently complete in technical detail to convey a clear
understanding to the extent known at the time of the disclosure, of the
nature, purpose, operation, and the physical, chemical, biological or
electrical characteristics of the invention. The disclosure shall also
identify any publication, on sale or public use of the invention and
whether a manuscript describing the invention has been submitted for
publication and, if so, whether it has been accepted for publication at the
time of disclosure. In addition, after such disclosure, the Contractor will
promptly notify the City and the Federal Agency of the acceptance of
any manuscript describing the invention for publication or of any on sale
or public use planned by the Contractor.
ii. The Contractor will elect in writing whether or not to retain title to any
such invention by notifying the City and the Federal Agency within two
years of disclosure to the City and the Federal Agency. However, in any
case where a patent, a printed publication, public use, sale, or other
availability to the public has initiated the one year statutory period
wherein valid patent protection can still be obtained in the United States,
the period for election of title may be shortened by the Federal Agency to
a date that is no more than 60 days prior to the end of the statutory
period.
iii. The Contractor will file its initial patent application on a subject
invention to which it elects to retain title within one year after election of
title or, if earlier, prior to the end of any statutory period wherein valid
patent protection can be obtained in the United States after a publication,
on sale, or public use. If the Contractor files a provisional application as
its initial patent application, it shall file a non-provisional application
within 10 months of the filing of the provisional application. The
Contractor will file patent applications in additional countries or
international patent offices within earlier ten months of the first filed
patent application or six months from the date permission is granted by
the Commissioner of Patents to file foreign patent applications where
such filing has been prohibited by a Secrecy Order.
iv. For any subject invention with Federal agency and contractor co-
inventors, where the Federal agency employing such co-inventor

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 18


determines that it would be in the interest of the government, pursuant to
35 U.S.C. 207(a)(3), to file an initial patent application on the subject
invention, the Federal agency employing such co-inventor, at its
discretion and in consultation with the contractor, may file such
application at its own expense, provided that the contractor retains the
ability to elect title pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 202(a).
v. Requests for extension of the time for disclosure, election, and filing
under paragraphs (i), (ii), and (iii) of this clause may, at the discretion of
the Federal agency, be granted. When a contractor has requested an
extension for filing a non-provisional application after filing a
provisional application, a one-year extension will be granted unless the
Federal agency notifies the contractor within 60 days of receiving the
request.
(d) Conditions When the Government May Obtain Title
The Contractor will convey to the Federal Agency, upon written request, title to
any subject invention --
i. If the Contractor fails to disclose or elect title to the subject invention
within the times specified in (c) of this clause, or elects not to retain
title., .
ii. In those countries in which the Contractor fails to file patent applications
within the times specified in paragraph (c) of this clause; provided,
however, that if the Contractor has filed a patent application in a country
after the times specified in (c) of this clause, but prior to its receipt of the
written request of the Federal Agency, the Contractor shall continue to
retain title in that country.
iii. In any country in which the Contractor decides not to continue the
prosecution of any non-provisional patent application for, to pay a
maintenance annuity or renewal fee on, or to defend in a reexamination
or opposition proceeding on, a patent on a subject invention.
(e) Minimum Rights to Contractor and Protection of the Contractor Right to File
i. The Contractor will retain a nonexclusive royalty-free license throughout
the world in each subject invention to which the Government obtains
title, except if the Contractor fails to disclose the invention within the
times specified in (c), above. The Contractor’s license extends to its
domestic subsidiary and affiliates, if any, within the corporate structure
of which the Contractor is a party and includes the right to grant
sublicenses of the same scope to the extent the Contractor was legally
obligated to do so at the time the Contract was awarded. The license is
transferable only with the approval of the Federal Agency except when
transferred to the successor of that party of the Contractor’s business to
which the invention pertains.
ii. The Contractor’s domestic license may be revoked or modified by the
funding Federal Agency to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious
practical application of the subject invention pursuant to an application
for an exclusive license submitted in accordance with applicable
provisions at 37 CFR Part 404 and agency licensing regulations (if any).

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 19


This license will not be revoked in that field of use or the geographical
areas in which the Contractor has achieved practical application and
continues to make the benefits of the invention reasonably accessible to
the public. The license in any foreign country may be revoked or
modified at the discretion of the funding Federal Agency to the extent the
Contractor, its licensees, or the domestic subsidiaries or affiliates have
failed to achieve practical application in that foreign country.
iii. Before revocation or modification of the license, the funding Federal
Agency will furnish the Contractor a written notice of its intention to
revoke or modify the license, and the Contractor will be allowed thirty
days (or such other time as may be authorized by the funding Federal
Agency for good cause shown by the Contractor) after the notice to show
cause why the license should not be revoked or modified. The Contractor
has the right to appeal, in accordance with applicable regulations in 37
CFR Part 404 and Federal Agency regulations (if any) concerning the
licensing of Government-owned inventions, any decision concerning the
revocation or modification of the license.
(f) Contractor Action to Protect the Government’s Interest
i. The Contractor agrees to execute or to have executed and promptly
deliver to the Federal Agency all instruments necessary to (i) establish or
confirm the rights the Government has throughout the world in those
subject inventions to which the Contractor elects to retain title, and (ii)
convey title to the Federal Agency when requested under paragraph (d)
above and to enable the Government to obtain patent protection
throughout the world in that subject invention.
ii. The Contractor agrees to require, by written agreement, its employees,
other than clerical and nontechnical employees, to disclose promptly in
writing to personnel identified as responsible for the administration of
patent matters and in a format suggested by the Contractor each subject
invention made under contract in order that the Contractor can comply
with the disclosure provisions of paragraph (c), of this clause, to assign
to the Contractor the entire right, title and interest in and to each subject
invention made under Contract, and to execute all papers necessary to
file patent applications on subject inventions and to establish the
Government’s rights in the subject inventions. This disclosure format
should require, as a minimum, the information required by paragraph
(c)(1) of this clause. The Contractor shall instruct such employees
through employee agreements or other suitable educational programs on
the importance of reporting inventions in sufficient time to permit the
filing of patent applications prior to U.S. or foreign statutory bars.
iii. For each subject invention, the contractor will, no less than 60 days prior
to the expiration of the statutory deadline, notify the Federal agency of
any decision: Not to continue the prosecution of a non-provisional patent
application; not to pay a maintenance, annuity or renewal fee; not to
defend in a reexamination or opposition proceeding on a patent, in any
country; to request, be a party to, or take action in a trial proceeding
before the Patent Trial and Appeals Board of the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office, including but not limited to post-grant review, review

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 20


of a business method patent, inter partes review, and derivation
proceeding; or to request, be a party to, or take action in a non-trial
submission of art or information at the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office, including but not limited to a pre-issuance submission, a post-
issuance submission, and supplemental examination..
iv. The Contractor agrees to include, within the specification of any United
States patent applications and any patent issuing thereon covering a
subject invention, the following statement, “This invention was made
with government support under (identify the contract) awarded by
(identify the Federal Agency). The government has certain rights in the
invention.”

(g) Subcontracts
i. The Contractor will include this clause, suitably modified to identify the
parties, in all subcontracts, regardless of tier, for experimental,
developmental or research work to be performed by a subcontractor. The
subcontractor will retain all rights provided for the Contractor in this
clause, and the Contractor will not, as part of the consideration for
awarding the subcontract, obtain rights in the subcontractor’s subject
inventions.
ii. The Contractor will include in all other subcontracts, regardless of tier,
for experimental developmental or research work the patent rights clause
required by 2 CFR § 200.315(c) and Appendix II to 2 CFR Part 200.

iii. In the case of subcontracts, at any tier, when the prime award with the
Federal Agency was a contract (but not a grant or cooperative
agreement), the Agency, subcontractor, and the Contractor agree that the
mutual obligations of the parties created by this clause constitute a
contract between the subcontractor and the Federal Agency with respect
to the matters covered by the clause; provided, however, that nothing in
this paragraph is intended to confer any jurisdiction under the Contract
Disputes Act in connection with proceedings under paragraph (j) of this
clause.

(h) Reporting on Utilization of Subject Inventions. The Contractor agrees to submit


on request periodic reports no more frequently than annually on the utilization of
a subject invention or on efforts at obtaining such utilization that are being made
by the Contractor or its licensees or assignees. Such reports shall include
information regarding the status of development, date of first commercial sale or
use, gross royalties received by the Contractor, and such other data and
information as the Federal Agency may reasonably specify. The Contractor also
agrees to provide additional reports as may be requested by the Federal Agency
in connection with any march-in proceeding undertaken by the Federal Agency
in accordance with paragraph (j) of this clause. As required by 35 U.S.C. §
202(c)(5), the Federal Agency agrees it will not disclose such information to
persons outside the Government without permission of the Contractor.

(i) Preference for United States Industry. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this clause, the Contractor agrees that neither it nor any assignee will grant to any
person the exclusive right to use or sell any subject inventions in the United

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 21


States unless such person agrees that any products embodying the subject
invention or produced through the use of the subject invention will be
manufactured substantially in the United States. However, in individual cases,
the requirement for such an agreement may be waived by the Federal Agency
upon a showing by the Contractor or its assignee that reasonable but unsuccessful
efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar terms to potential licensees
that would be likely to manufacture substantially in the United States or that
under the circumstances domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible.

(j) March-in Rights. The Contractor agrees that with respect to any subject invention
in which it has acquired title, the Federal Agency has the right in accordance with
the procedures in 37 CFR § 401.6 and any supplemental regulations of the
Federal Agency to require the Contractor, an assignee or exclusive licensee of a
subject invention to grant a nonexclusive, partially exclusive, or exclusive license
in any field of use to a responsible applicant or applicants, upon terms that are
reasonable under the circumstances, and if the Contractor, assignee, or exclusive
licensee refuses such a request the Federal Agency has the right to grant such a
license itself if the Federal Agency determines that:
i. Such action is necessary because the Contractor or assignee has not
taken, or is not expected to take within a reasonable time, effective steps
to achieve practical application of the subject invention in such field of
use.
ii. Such action is necessary to alleviate health or safety needs which are not
reasonably satisfied by the Contractor, assignee or their licensees;
iii. Such action is necessary to meet requirements for public use specified by
Federal regulations and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by
the Contractor, assignee or licensees; or
iv. Such action is necessary because the agreement required by paragraph (i)
of this clause has not been obtained or waived or because a licensee of
the exclusive right to use or sell any subject invention in the United
States is in breach of such agreement.

(k) Special Provisions for Contracts with Nonprofit Organizations. If the Contractor
is a nonprofit organization, it agrees that:
i. Rights to a subject invention in the United States may not be assigned
without the approval of the Federal Agency, except where such
assignment is made to an organization which has as one of its primary
functions the management of inventions, provided that such assignee will
be subject to the same provisions as the Contractor;
ii. The Contractor will share royalties collected on a subject invention with
the inventor, including Federal employee co-inventors (when the Federal
Agency deems it appropriate) when the subject invention is assigned in
accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 202(e) and 37 CFR § 401.10;
iii. The balance of any royalties or income earned by the Contractor with
respect to subject inventions, after payment of expenses (including
payments to inventors) incidental to the administration of subject
inventions, will be utilized for the support of scientific research or
education; and

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 22


iv. It will make efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to attract
licensees of subject invention that are Small Business Firms and that it
will give a preference to a Small Business Firm when licensing a subject
invention if the Contractor determines that the Small Business Firm has a
plan or proposal for marketing the invention which, if executed, is
equally as likely to bring the invention to practical application as any
plans or proposals from applicants that are not Small Business Firms;
provided, that the Contractor is also satisfied that the Small Business
Firm has the capability and resources to carry out its plan or proposal.
The decision whether to give a preference in any specific case will be at
the discretion of the Contractor. However, the Contractor agrees that the
Federal Agency may review the Contractor’s licensing program and
decisions regarding Small Business applicants, and the Contractor will
negotiate changes to its licensing policies, procedures, or practices with
the Federal Agency when the Federal Agency’s review discloses that the
Contractor could take reasonable steps to implement more effectively the
requirements of this paragraph (k)(iv). In accordance with 37 CFR 401.7,
the Federal agency or the contractor may request that the Secretary
review the contractor’s licensing program and decisions regarding small
business applicants.

(l) Communication. The central point of contact at the Federal Agency for
communications on matters relating to this clause may be obtained from the City
upon request.

or federally assisted) performed in the covered area. If the Contractor performs Construction Work in a
geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such
geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the Contractor
also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and nonfederally involved Construction.

Uniform Federal Contracts Provisions Rider Page 24


The Contractor’s compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4
shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action
obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals.
The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the
length of the contract, and in each trade, and the Contractor shall made a good faith effort to employ
minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or
trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the
Contractor’s goals shall be a violation 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 written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal
Contract Compliance Programs within 10 working days of award of any Construction subcontract in

C.F.R. § 5.12.

B. Compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act. The
provisions of this Section B are applicable where the amount of the prime contract

pursuant to Title 29 Part 1926 and failure to comply may result in imposition of
sanctions pursuant to the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, (Public
Law 91-54, 83 Stat 96). 40 USC 3701 et seq.

Section 1.03 Collection.


Absent Exigent Circumstances, Contractor shall not collect Identifying Information unless such
collection (a) has been pre-approved in writing by the Agency Privacy Officer and the City Chief

protocols promulgated by the City Chief Privacy Officer under subdivision 6 of Section
23-1203, in the discretion, of the Agency Privacy Officer Contractor shall either (i) make
reasonable efforts to notify such individual(s) in writing of the Identifying Information
disclosed and to whom it was disclosed as soon as practicable or (ii) cooperate with the
Agency’s efforts to notify such individual(s) in writing. The City shall have the right to
withhold further payments under this Agreement for the purpose of set-off in sufficient
sums to cover the costs of notifications and/or other actions mandated by any law,
administrative or judicial order, or the City Chief Privacy Officer to address the
disclosure, including any fines or disallowances imposed by the State or federal
government as a result of the disclosure. The City shall also have the right to withhold
further payments hereunder for the purpose of set-off in sufficient sums to cover the
costs of credit monitoring services for the victims of such a disclosure by a national
credit reporting agency, and/or any other commercially reasonable preventive measure.
The Agency shall provide Contractor with written notice and an opportunity to comment
on such measures prior to implementation. Alternatively, at the City’s discretion, or if
monies remaining to be earned or paid under this Agreement are insufficient to cover the
costs detailed above, Contractor shall pay directly for the costs, detailed above, if any.
C. Section 1.04(B) shall not require any notification that would violate any law or interfere
with an investigation or otherwise compromise public safety pursuant to subdivision e of
Section 23-1204.

Section 1.05 Exigent Circumstances.


In the event Contractor or subcontactor collects or discloses Identifying Information due to
Exigent Circumstances, with no other basis for collection or disclosure under subdivisions b or c
of Section 23-1202, Contractor shall send to the Agency Privacy Officer information about such
collection or request and disclosure, along with an explanation of why such Exigent
Circumstances existed, as soon as practicable after such collection or disclosure. This section
shall not require any such notification for collection or disclosure of Identifying Information that:
(a) is required by the New York City Police Department in connection with an open criminal
investigation; (b) is required by a City agency in connection with an open investigation
concerning the welfare of a minor or other individual who is not legally competent; or (c) occurs
in the normal course of performing Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement and is in
furtherance of law enforcement or public health or safety powers of the Agency under Exigent
Circumstances.

Section 1.06 Retention.

furtherance of this Agreement, or as otherwise approved by the Agency Privacy Officer or the
City Chief Privacy Officer.

Rider 3 Page iii of iv


Section 1.07 Reporting.
Contractor shall provide the Agency with reports as requested by the Agency Privacy Officer or
City Chief Privacy Officer regarding the collection, retention, and disclosure of Identifying
Information by Contractor. Each such report shall include information concerning Identifying
Information collected, retained, and disclosed, including: (a) the types of Identifying Information
collected, retained, or disclosed; (b) the types of collections and disclosures classified as
“routine” and any collections or disclosures approved by the Agency Privacy Officer or City
Chief Privacy Officer; and (c) any other related information that may be reasonably required by
the Agency Privacy Officer or City Chief Privacy Officer.

Section 1.08 Coordination with Agency Privacy Officer.


The Agency, upon prior written approval, may assign powers and duties of the Agency Privacy
Officer to Contractor for purposes of this Agreement. In such event, Contractor shall exercise

shall comply with directions of the Agency Privacy Officer and City Chief Privacy Officer
concerning coordination and reporting.

Section 1.09 Conflicts with Provisions Governing Records, Audits, Reports and
Investigations.

between any of the provisions of this Rider and, as applicable, either (i) Article 5 of Appendix A
(General Provisions Governing Contracts for Consultants, Professional, Technical, Human, and
Client Services); (ii) if the value of this Agreement is $100,000 or less and the Agreement is
funded by City Council Discretionary Funds, Article 7(E) and Rider 1, Article 1 of the Agreement;
or (iii) if neither (i) nor (ii) apply, the Investigations Clause, and other provisions concerning
records retention, inspections, audits, and reports designated elsewhere in the Agreement. The
provisions of this Rider do not replace or supersede any other obligations or requirements of
this Agreement.

Section 1.10 Subcontracts.


A. Contractor shall include this Rider in all subcontracts to provide human services or other
services designated in the policies and protocols of the City Chief Privacy Officer.
B. Contractor agrees that it is fully responsible to the Agency for the compliance with this
Rider by its subcontractors that provide human services or other services designated by
the City Chief Privacy Officer.

requirements for a written agreement governing the disclosure of Identifying Information to a

RIDER 7
NYC EARNED SAFE AND SICK TIME ACT CONTRACT RIDER
NYC EARNED SAFE AND SICK TIME ACT CONTRACT RIDER
This supersedes Section 4.06 of the January 2018 Appendix A

A. Introduction and General Provisions.


1. The Earned Safe and Sick Time Act (“ESSTA”), codified at Title 20, Chapter 8 of
the New York City Administrative Code, also known as the “Paid Safe and Sick Leave Law,”
requires covered employees (as defined in Admin. Code § 20-912) in New York City (“City”) to
be provided with paid safe and sick time. Contractors of the City or of other governmental
entities may be required to provide safe and sick time pursuant to the ESSTA. The ESSTA is
enforced by the City’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (“DCWP”), which has
promulgated 6 RCNY §§ 7-101 and 201 et seq. (“DCWP Rules”).
2. The Contractor agrees to comply in all respects with the ESSTA and the DCWP
Rules, and as amended, if applicable, in the performance of this agreement. The Contractor
further acknowledges that such compliance is a material term of this agreement and that failure
to comply with the ESSTA in performance of this agreement may result in its termination.
3. The Contractor must notify (with a copy to DCWP at
ComplianceMonitoring@dcwp.nyc.gov) the Agency Chief Contracting Officer of the City Agency
or other entity with whom it is contracting in writing within 10 days of receipt of a complaint
(whether oral or written) or notice of investigation regarding the ESSTA involving the
performance of this agreement. Additionally, the Contractor must cooperate with DCWP’s
guidance and must comply with DCWP’s subpoenas, requests for information, and other
document demands as set forth in the ESSTA and the DCWP Rules. More information is
available at https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dca/about/paid-sick-leave-what-employers-need-to-
know.page.
4. Upon conclusion of a DCWP investigation, Contractor will receive a findings letter
detailing any employee relief and civil penalties owed. Pursuant to the findings, Contractor will
have the opportunity to settle any violations and cure the breach of this agreement caused by
failure to comply with the ESSTA either i) without a trial by entering into a consent order or ii)
appearing before an impartial judge at the City’s administrative tribunal. In addition to and
notwithstanding any other rights and remedies available to the City, non-payment of relief and
penalties owed pursuant to a consent order or final adjudication within 30 days of such consent
order or final adjudication may result in the termination of this agreement without further
opportunity to settle or cure the violations.
5. The ESSTA is briefly summarized below for the convenience of the Contractor.
The Contractor is advised to review the ESSTA and the DCWP Rules in their entirety. The
Contractor may go to www.nyc.gov/PaidSickLeave for resources for employers, such as
Frequently Asked Questions, timekeeping tools and model forms, and an event calendar of
upcoming presentations and webinars at which the Contractor can get more information about
how to comply with the ESSTA and the DCWP Rules. The Contractor acknowledges that it is
responsible for compliance with the ESSTA and the DCWP Rules notwithstanding any
inconsistent language contained herein.

Rider 7 Page i of v
B. Pursuant to the ESSTA and DCWP Rules: Applicability, Accrual, and Use.
1. An employee who works within the City must be provided paid safe and sick
time.1Employers with one hundred or more employees are required to provide 56 hours of safe
and sick time for an employee each calendar year. Employers with fewer than one hundred
employees are required to provide 40 hours of sick leave each calendar year. Employers must
provide a minimum of one hour of safe and sick time for every 30 hours worked by an employee
and compensation for such safe and sick time must be provided at the greater of the
employee’s regular hourly rate or the minimum wage at the time the paid safe or sick time is
taken. Employers are not discouraged or prohibited from providing more generous safe and sick
time policies than what the ESSTA requires.
2. Employees have the right to determine how much safe and sick time they will
use, provided that an employer may set a reasonable minimum increment for the use of safe
and sick time not to exceed four hours per day. For the use of safe time or sick time beyond the
set minimum increment, an employer may set fixed periods of up to thirty minutes beyond the
minimum increment. In addition, an employee may carry over up to 40 or 56 hours of unused
safe and sick time to the following calendar year, provided that no employer is required to carry
over unused paid safe and sick time if the employee is paid for such unused safe and sick time
and the employer provides the employee with at least the legally required amount of paid safe
and sick time for such employee for the immediately subsequent calendar year on the first day
of such calendar year.
3. An employee entitled to safe and sick time pursuant to the ESSTA may use safe
and sick time for any of the following:
a. such employee’s mental illness, physical illness, injury, or health condition
or the care of such illness, injury, or condition or such employee’s need for medical
diagnosis or preventive medical care;
b. such employee’s care of a family member (an employee’s child, spouse,
domestic partner, parent, sibling, grandchild, or grandparent, the child or parent of an
employee’s spouse or domestic partner, any other individual related by blood to the
employee, and any other individual whose close association with the employee is the
equivalent of a family relationship) who has a mental illness, physical illness, injury or
health condition or who has a need for medical diagnosis or preventive medical care;
c. closure of such employee’s place of business by order of a public official
due to a public health emergency;
d. such employee’s need to care for a child whose school or childcare
provider has been closed due to a public health emergency; or
e. when the employee or a family member has been the victim of a family
offense matter, sexual offense, stalking, or human trafficking:

1 Pursuant to the ESSTA, if fewer than five employees work for the same employer, and the employer had a net
income of less than one million dollars during the previous tax year, such employer has the option of providing such
employees uncompensated safe and sick time.

Rider 7 Page ii of v
1. to obtain services from a domestic violence shelter, rape crisis center, or
other shelter or services program for relief from a family offense matter,
sexual offense, stalking, or human trafficking;
2. to participate in safety planning, temporarily or permanently relocate, or
take other actions to increase the safety of the employee or employee’s
family members from future family offense matters, sexual offenses,
stalking, or human trafficking;
3. to meet with a civil attorney or other social service provider to obtain
information and advice on, and prepare for or participate in any criminal
or civil proceeding, including but not limited to, matters related to a family
offense matter, sexual offense, stalking, human trafficking, custody,
visitation, matrimonial issues, orders of protection, immigration, housing,
discrimination in employment, housing or consumer credit;
4. to file a complaint or domestic incident report with law enforcement;
5. to meet with a district attorney’s office;
6. to enroll children in a new school; or
7. to take other actions necessary to maintain, improve, or restore the
physical, psychological, or economic, health or safety of the employee or
the employee’s family member or to protect those who associate or work
with the employee.

4. An employer must not require an employee, as a condition of taking safe and


sick time, to search for a replacement. However, where the employee’s need for safe and sick
time is foreseeable, an employer may require an employee to provide reasonable notice of the
need to use safe and sick time. For an absence of more than three consecutive work days, an
employer may require reasonable documentation that the use of safe and sick time was needed
for a reason listed in Admin. Code § 20-914; and/or written confirmation that an employee used
safe and sick time pursuant to the ESSTA. However, an employer may not require
documentation specifying the nature of a medical condition, require disclosure of the details of a
medical condition, or require disclosure of the details of a family offense matter, sexual offense,
stalking, or human trafficking, as a condition of providing safe and sick time. Health information
and information concerning family offenses, sexual offenses, stalking or human trafficking
obtained solely due to an employee’s use of safe and sick time pursuant to the ESSTA must be
treated by the employer as confidential. An employer must reimburse an employee for all
reasonable costs or expenses incurred in obtaining such documentation for the employer.
5. An employer must provide to all employees a written policy explaining its method
of calculating sick time, policies regarding the use of safe and sick time (including any
permissible discretionary conditions on use), and policies regarding carry-over of unused time at
the end of the year, among other topics. It must provide the policy to employees using a delivery
method that reasonably ensures that employees receive the policy. If such employer has not
provided its written policy, it may not deny safe and sick time to an employee because of non-
compliance with such a policy.

Rider 7 Page iii of v


6. An employer must provide a pay statement or other form of written
documentation that informs the employee of the amount of safe/sick time accrued and used
during the relevant pay period and the total balance of the employee’s accrued safe/sick time
available for use.
7. Safe and sick time to which an employee is entitled must be paid no later than
the payday for the next regular payroll period beginning after the safe and sick time was used.

C. Exemptions and Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the ESSTA does not apply to
any of the following:
1. an independent contractor who does not meet the definition of employee under
N.Y. Labor Law § 190(2);
2. an employee covered by a valid collective bargaining agreement, if the provisions
of the ESSTA are expressly waived in such agreement and such agreement provides a benefit
comparable to that provided by the ESSTA for such employee;
3. an audiologist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, or speech language
pathologist who is licensed by the New York State Department of Education and who calls in for
work assignments at will, determines their own schedule, has the ability to reject or accept any
assignment referred to them, and is paid an average hourly wage that is at least four times the
federal minimum wage;
4. an employee in a work study program under Section 2753 of Chapter 42 of the
United States Code;
5. an employee whose work is compensated by a qualified scholarship program as
that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code, Section 117 of Chapter 20 of the United
States Code; or
6. a participant in a Work Experience Program (WEP) under N.Y. Social Services
Law § 336-c.

D. Retaliation Prohibited. An employer shall not take any adverse action against an
employee that penalizes the employee for, or is reasonably likely to deter the employee from or
interfere with the employee exercising or attempting in good faith to exercise any right provided
by the ESSTA. In addition, an employer shall not interfere with any investigation, proceeding, or
hearing pursuant to the ESSTA.

E. Notice of Rights.

1. An employer must provide its employees with written notice of their rights
pursuant to the ESSTA. Such notice must be in English and the primary language spoken by an
employee, provided that DCWP has made available a translation into such language.
Downloadable notices are available on DCWP’s website at
https://www1.nyc.gov/site/dca/about/Paid-Safe-Sick-Leave-Notice-of-Employee-Rights.page.
The notice must be provided to the employees by a method that reasonably ensures personal
receipt by the employee.

Rider 7 Page iv of v
2. Any person or entity that willfully violates these notice requirements is subject to
a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $50.00 for each employee who was not given
appropriate notice.

F. Records. An employer must retain records documenting its compliance with the
ESSTA for a period of at least three years, and must allow DCWP to access such records in
furtherance of an investigation related to an alleged violation of the ESSTA.

G. Enforcement and Penalties.


1. Upon receiving a complaint alleging a violation of the ESSTA, DCWP must
investigate such complaint. DCWP may also open an investigation to determine compliance
with the ESSTA on its own initiative. Upon notification of a complaint or an investigation by
DCWP, the employer must provide DCWP with a written response and any such other
information as DCWP may request. If DCWP believes that a violation of the ESSTA has
occurred, it has the right to issue a notice of violation to the employer .
2. DCWP has the power to grant an employee or former employee all appropriate
relief as set forth in Admin. Code § 20-924(d). Such relief may include, but is not limited to,
treble damages for the wages that should have been paid; statutory damages for unlawful
retaliation; and damages, including statutory damages, full compensation for wages and
benefits lost, and reinstatement, for unlawful discharge. In addition, DCWP may impose on an
employer found to have violated the ESSTA civil penalties not to exceed $500.00 for a first
violation, $750.00 for a second violation within two years of the first violation, and $1,000.00 for
each succeeding violation within two years of the previous violation. When an employer has a
policy or practice of not providing or refusing to allow the use of safe and sick time to its
employees, DCWP may seek penalties and relief on a per employee basis.
3. Pursuant to Admin. Code § 20-924.2, (a) where reasonable cause exists to
believe that an employer is engaged in a pattern or practice of violations of the ESSTA, the
Corporation Counsel may commence a civil action on behalf of the City in a court of competent
jurisdiction by filing a complaint setting forth facts relating to such pattern or practice and
requesting relief, which may include injunctive relief, civil penalties and any other appropriate
relief. Nothing in § 20-924.2 prohibits DCWP from exercising its authority under section 20-924
or the Charter, provided that a civil action pursuant to § 20-924.2 shall not have previously been
commenced.

H. More Generous Polices and Other Legal Requirements. Nothing in the ESSTA is
intended to discourage, prohibit, diminish, or impair the adoption or retention of a more
generous safe and sick time policy, or the obligation of an employer to comply with any contract,
collective bargaining agreement, employment benefit plan or other agreement providing more
generous safe and sick time. The ESSTA provides minimum requirements pertaining to safe
and sick time and does not preempt, limit, or otherwise affect the applicability of any other law,
regulation, rule, requirement, policy or standard that provides for greater accrual or use by
employees of safe and sick leave or time, whether paid or unpaid, or that extends other
protections to employees. The ESSTA may not be construed as creating or imposing any
requirement in conflict with any federal or state law, rule or regulation.

4. Upon receipt of all relevant documentation, the Department shall notify

2 Assistance establishing a Payee Information Portal account and using the system may be obtained by

8
Appendix A January 2018 Final

5. For proposed subcontracts or consultant contracts that do not exceed


$25,000.00, the Department’s approval shall be deemed granted if the Department does
not issue a written approval or disapproval within 45 Days of the Department’s receipt of
the written request for approval or, if PPB Rule 2-08(e) is applicable, within 45 Days of
the Department’s acknowledged receipt of fully completed disclosures for the
subcontractor or consultant.

B. All subcontracts and consultant contracts must be in writing. All subcontracts and
consultant contracts shall contain provisions specifying that:

accordance with the terms of the Agreement between the City and the Contractor;

2. Nothing contained in the agreement between the Contractor and the


subcontractor or consultant shall impair the rights of the City;

3. Nothing contained in the agreement between the Contractor and the


subcontractor or consultant, or under the Agreement between the City and the Contractor,
shall create any contractual relation between the subcontractor or consultant and the City;
and

4. The subcontractor or consultant specifically agrees to be bound by Section


4.05(D) and Article 5 of this Appendix A and specifically agrees that the City may
enforce such provisions directly against the subcontractor or consultant as if the City
were a party to the subcontract or consultant contract.

C. The Contractor agrees that it is as fully responsible to the Department for the acts
and omissions of its subcontractors and consultants and of persons either directly or indirectly
employed by such subcontractors and consultants as it is for the acts and omissions of any person
directly employed by it.

D. For determining the value of a subcontract or consultant contract, all subcontracts


or consultant contracts with the same subcontractor or consultant shall be aggregated.

E. The Department may revoke the approval of a subcontractor or consultant granted


or deemed granted pursuant to Section 3.02(A) if revocation is deemed to be in the interest of
the City in writing on no less than 30 Days’ written notice unless a shorter period is warranted by
considerations of health, safety, integrity issues, or other similar factors. Upon the effective date
of such revocation, the Contractor shall cause the subcontractor or consultant to cease all work
under the Agreement. The City shall not incur any further obligation for services performed by
such subcontractor or consultant pursuant to this Agreement beyond the effective date of the
revocation. The City shall pay for services provided by the subcontractor or consultant in
accordance with this Agreement prior to the effective date of revocation.

F. The Department’s approval of a subcontractor or consultant shall not relieve the


Contractor of any of its responsibilities, duties, and liabilities under this Agreement. At the
request of the Department, the Contractor shall provide the Department a copy of any
subcontract or consultant contract.

9
Appendix A January 2018 Final

G. Individual employer-employee contracts are not subcontracts or consultant


contracts subject to the requirements of this Section 3.02.

H. The Contractor shall report in the City’s Payee Information Portal payments made
to each subcontractor or consultant within 30 days of making the payment. If any of the
information provided in accordance with Section 3.02(A)(2)(b) changes during the term of this
Agreement, the Contractor shall update the information in such Portal accordingly. Failure of
the Contractor to list a subcontractor or consultant and/or to report subcontractor and consultant
payments in a timely fashion may result in the Department declaring the Contractor in default of
the Agreement and will subject Contractor to liquidated damages in the amount of $100 per day
for each day that the Contractor fails to identify a subcontractor or consultant along with the
required information about the subcontractor or consultant and/or fails to report payments to a
subcontractor or consultant, beyond the time frames set forth herein or in the notice from the
City.

ARTICLE 4 - LABOR PROVISIONS

Section 4.01 Independent Contractor Status

The Contractor and the City agree that the Contractor is an independent contractor and
not an employee, subsidiary, affiliate, division, department, agency, office, or unit of the City.
Accordingly, the Contractor and its employees, officers, and agents shall not, by reason of this
Agreement or any performance pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, assert the
existence of any relationship or status on the part of the Contractor, with respect to the City, that
differs from or is inconsistent with that of an independent contractor.

Section 4.02 Employees and Subcontractors

All persons who are employed by the Contractor and all the Contractor’s subcontractors
(including without limitation, consultants and independent contractors) that are retained to
perform services under or in connection with this Agreement are neither employees of the City
nor under contract with the City. The Contractor, and not the City, is responsible for their work,
direction, compensation, and personal conduct while the Contractor is engaged under this
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, and no entity or person’s performance pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement, shall create any relationship between the City and the
Contractor’s employees, agents, subcontractors, or subcontractor’s employees or agents
(including without limitation, a contractual relationship, employer-employee relationship, or
quasi-employer/quasi-employee relationship) or impose any liability or duty on the City (i) for or
on account of the acts, omissions, liabilities, rights or obligations of the Contractor, its
employees or agents, its subcontractors, or its subcontractor’s employees or agents (including

employed by the Contractor in the performance of this Agreement shall be paid, without

Appendix A January 2018 Final

Section 6-109, or who seeks or communicates information regarding rights conferred by


Section 6-109 in circumstances where he or she in good faith believes it applies.

3. The Contractor shall maintain original payroll records for each of its
covered employees reflecting the days and hours worked on contracts, projects, or

services, or temporary services, the Contractor shall submit copies of payroll records,
certified by the Contractor under penalty of perjury to be true and accurate, to the
Department with every requisition for payment. For contracts involving homecare, day
care, head start or services to persons with cerebral palsy, the Contractor shall submit

an amount greater than $1,000,000.00, payment issued by the Contractor to covered
employees shall be generated by a payroll service or automated payroll system (an in-
house system may be used if approved by the Department). For any subcontract for an

employees shall be generated by a payroll service or automated payroll system (an in-
house system may be used if approved by the Department).

by the Comptroller, detailing the wages, benefits, and other protections to which covered
employees are entitled under Section 6-109. Such notices will be provided in English,
Spanish and other languages spoken by ten percent or more of a covered employer’s
covered employees. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Contractor shall post in

certification attached to this Agreement, identifying any changes to the current

8. Failure to comply with the requirements of Section 6-109 may, in the


discretion of the Department, constitute a material breach by the Contractor of the terms
of this Agreement. If the Contractor and/or subcontractor receives written notice of such
a breach and fails to cure such breach within 30 Days, the City shall have the right to
pursue any rights or remedies available under this Agreement or under applicable law,
including termination of the Agreement. If the Contractor fails to perform in accordance
with any of the requirements of Section 6-109 and fails to cure such failure in accordance
with the preceding sentence, and there is a continued need for the service, the City may
obtain from another source the required service as specified in the original Agreement, or
any part thereof, and may charge the Contractor for any difference in price resulting from
the alternative arrangements, and may, as appropriate, invoke such other sanctions as are
available under the Agreement and applicable law. In addition, the Contractor agrees to
pay for all costs incurred by the City in enforcing the requirements of Section 6-109,
including the cost of any investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Department or
the Comptroller, where the City discovers that the Contractor or its subcontractor(s)
failed to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.04(B) or of Section 6-109. The
Contractor also agrees, that should it fail or refuse to pay for any such investigation, the
Department is hereby authorized to deduct from a Contractor‘s account an amount equal
to the cost of such investigation.

Section 4.06 Paid Sick Leave Law
A. Introduction and General Provisions.
1. The Earned Sick Time Act, also known as the Paid Sick Leave Law
(“PSLL”), requires covered employees who annually perform more than 80 hours of
work in New York City to be provided with paid sick time.3 Contractors of the City or of
other governmental entities may be required to provide sick time pursuant to the PSLL.

3 Pursuant to the PSLL, if fewer than five employees work for the same employer, as determined pursuant
Admin. Code § 20-912(g), such employer has the option of providing such employees uncompensated sick time.

16
Appendix A January 2018 Final

2. The PSLL became effective on April 1, 2014, and is codified at Title 20,
Chapter 8, of the Admin. Code. It is administered by the City’s Department of Consumer
Affairs (“DCA”). DCA’s rules promulgated under the PSLL are codified at Chapter 7 of
Title 6 of the Rules of the City of New York (“Rules”).

3. The Contractor agrees to comply in all respects with the PSLL and the
Rules, and as amended, if applicable, in the performance of this Agreement. The
Contractor further acknowledges that such compliance is a material term of this
Agreement and that failure to comply with the PSLL in performance of this Agreement
may result in its termination.

4. The Contractor must notify the ACCO in writing within 10 Days of receipt
of a complaint (whether oral or written) regarding the PSLL involving the performance of
this Agreement. Additionally, the Contractor must cooperate with DCA’s education
efforts and must comply with DCA’s subpoenas and other document demands as set forth
in the PSLL and Rules.

5. The PSLL is summarized below for the convenience of the Contractor.


The Contractor is advised to review the PSLL and Rules in their entirety. On the website
www.nyc.gov/PaidSickLeave there are links to the PSLL and the associated Rules as well
as additional resources for employers, such as Frequently Asked Questions, timekeeping
tools and model forms, and an event calendar of upcoming presentations and webinars at
which the Contractor can get more information about how to comply with the PSLL. The
Contractor acknowledges that it is responsible for compliance with the PSLL
notwithstanding any inconsistent language contained herein.

B. Pursuant to the PSLL and the Rules: Applicability, Accrual, and Use.

1. An employee who works within the City of New York for more than
eighty hours in any consecutive 12-month period designated by the employer as its
“calendar year” pursuant to the PSLL (“Year”) must be provided sick time. Employers
must provide a minimum of one hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked by an
employee and compensation for such sick time must be provided at the greater of the
employee’s regular hourly rate or the minimum wage. Employers are not required to
provide more than 40 hours of sick time to an employee in any Year.

2. An employee has the right to determine how much sick time he or she will
use, provided that employers may set a reasonable minimum increment for the use of sick
time not to exceed four hours per Day. In addition, an employee may carry over up to 40
hours of unused sick time to the following Year, provided that no employer is required to
allow the use of more than 40 hours of sick time in a Year or carry over unused paid sick
time if the employee is paid for such unused sick time and the employer provides the
employee with at least the legally required amount of paid sick time for such employee
for the immediately subsequent Year on the first Day of such Year.

3. An employee entitled to sick time pursuant to the PSLL may use sick time
for any of the following:

17
Appendix A January 2018 Final

a. such employee’s mental illness, physical illness, injury, or health


condition or the care of such illness, injury, or condition or such employee’s need
for medical diagnosis or preventive medical care;

b. such employee’s care of a family member (an employee’s child, spouse,


domestic partner, parent, sibling, grandchild, or grandparent, or the child or parent
of an employee’s spouse or domestic partner) who has a mental illness, physical
illness, injury or health condition or who has a need for medical diagnosis or
preventive medical care;

c. closure of such employee’s place of business by order of a public official


due to a public health emergency; or

d. such employee’s need to care for a child whose school or childcare


provider has been closed due to a public health emergency.

4. An employer must not require an employee, as a condition of taking sick


time, to search for a replacement. However, an employer may require an employee to
provide: reasonable notice of the need to use sick time; reasonable documentation that the
use of sick time was needed for a reason above if for an absence of more than three
consecutive work days; and/or written confirmation that an employee used sick time
pursuant to the PSLL. However, an employer may not require documentation specifying
the nature of a medical condition or otherwise require disclosure of the details of a
medical condition as a condition of providing sick time and health information obtained
solely due to an employee’s use of sick time pursuant to the PSLL must be treated by the
employer as confidential.

5. If an employer chooses to impose any permissible discretionary


requirement as a condition of using sick time, it must provide to all employees a written
policy containing those requirements, using a delivery method that reasonably ensures
that employees receive the policy. If such employer has not provided its written policy, it
may not deny sick time to an employee because of non-compliance with such a policy.

6. Sick time to which an employee is entitled must be paid no later than the
payday for the next regular payroll period beginning after the sick time was used.

C. Exemptions and Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the PSLL does not
apply to any of the following:

1. an independent contractor who does not meet the definition of employee


under N.Y. Labor Law § 190(2);

2. an employee covered by a valid collective bargaining agreement in effect


on April 1, 2014, until the termination of such agreement;

3. an employee in the construction or grocery industry covered by a valid


collective bargaining agreement if the provisions of the PSLL are expressly waived in
such collective bargaining agreement;

18
Appendix A January 2018 Final

4. an employee covered by another valid collective bargaining agreement if


such provisions are expressly waived in such agreement and such agreement provides a
benefit comparable to that provided by the PSLL for such employee;

5. an audiologist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, or speech


language pathologist who is licensed by the New York State Department of Education
and who calls in for work assignments at will, determines his or her own schedule, has
the ability to reject or accept any assignment referred to him or her, and is paid an
average hourly wage that is at least four times the federal minimum wage;

6. an employee in a work study program under Section 2753 of Chapter 42


of the United States Code;

7. an employee whose work is compensated by a qualified scholarship


program as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code, Section 117 of Chapter 20
of the United States Code; or

8. a participant in a Work Experience Program (WEP) under N.Y. Social


Services Law § 336-c.

D. Retaliation Prohibited. An employer may not threaten or engage in retaliation


against an employee for exercising or attempting in good faith to exercise any right provided by
the PSLL. In addition, an employer may not interfere with any investigation, proceeding, or
hearing pursuant to the PSLL.

E. Notice of Rights.

1. An employer must provide its employees with written notice of their


rights pursuant to the PSLL. Such notice must be in English and the primary
language spoken by an employee, provided that DCA has made available a
translation into such language. Downloadable notices are available on DCA’s website
at http://www.nyc.gov/html/dca/html/law/PaidSickLeave.shtml.

2. Any person or entity that willfully violates these notice requirements is


subject to a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $50.00 for each employee who was
not given appropriate notice.

F. Records. An employer must retain records documenting its compliance with the
PSLL for a period of at least three years, and must allow DCA to access such records in
furtherance of an investigation related to an alleged violation of the PSLL.

G. Enforcement and Penalties.

1. Upon receiving a complaint alleging a violation of the PSLL, DCA has the
right to investigate such complaint and attempt to resolve it through mediation. Within
30 Days of written notification of a complaint by DCA, or sooner in certain
circumstances, the employer must provide DCA with a written response and such other

19
Appendix A January 2018 Final

information as DCA may request. If DCA believes that a violation of the PSLL has
occurred, it has the right to issue a notice of violation to the employer.

2. DCA has the power to grant an employee or former employee all


appropriate relief as set forth in Admin. Code § 20-924(d). Such relief may include,
among other remedies, treble damages for the wages that should have been paid, damages
for unlawful retaliation, and damages and reinstatement for unlawful discharge. In
addition, DCA may impose on an employer found to have violated the PSLL civil
penalties not to exceed $500.00 for a first violation, $750.00 for a second violation within
two years of the first violation, and $1,000.00 for each succeeding violation within two
years of the previous violation.

H. More Generous Polices and Other Legal Requirements. Nothing in the PSLL is
intended to discourage, prohibit, diminish, or impair the adoption or retention of a more generous
sick time policy, or the obligation of an employer to comply with any contract, collective
bargaining agreement, employment benefit plan or other agreement providing more generous
sick time. The PSLL provides minimum requirements pertaining to sick time and does not
preempt, limit, or otherwise affect the applicability of any other law, regulation, rule,
requirement, policy or standard that provides for greater accrual or use by employees of sick
leave or time, whether paid or unpaid, or that extends other protections to employees. The PSLL
may not be construed as creating or imposing any requirement in conflict with any federal or
state law, rule, or regulation.

subcontracts with a value in excess of $100,000.00; accordingly, Contractor shall include

officials and employees, and any other entity listed as an additional insured on Schedule A.

waived or otherwise excused by any action or inaction by the City at any time.

C. Insurance coverage in the minimum amounts required in this Article 7 shall not
relieve the Contractor or its subcontractors of any liability under this Agreement, nor shall it

subcontractors in the performance of this Agreement.

nonperformance and/or terminate the Agreement. If the Commissioner, in his or her reasonable
discretion, determines that the Contractor cannot comply with the terms of the Agreement
because of a Force Majeure Event, then the Commissioner shall excuse the nonperformance and
may terminate the Agreement. Such a termination shall be deemed to be without cause.

the designated financial institution or authorized payment agent. The crediting of the amount of
a payment to the appropriate account on the books of a financial institution or other authorized
payment agent designated by the Contractor shall constitute full satisfaction by the City for the
amount of the payment under this Agreement. The account information supplied by the
Contractor to facilitate the electronic funds transfer shall remain confidential to the fullest extent

ARTICLE 12 - CLAIMS

This Agreement shall be deemed to be executed in the City and State of New York,

accordance with the Laws of the State of New York (notwithstanding New York choice of law or
conflict of law principles) and the Laws of the United States, where applicable.

Section 12.02 Jurisdiction and Venue

Subject to Section 12.03, the parties agree that any and all claims asserted by or against
the City arising under or related to this Agreement shall solely be heard and determined either in
the courts of the United States located in the City or in the courts of the State located in the City
and County of New York. The parties shall consent to the dismissal and/or transfer of any
claims asserted in any other venue or forum to the proper venue or forum. If the Contractor
initiates any action in breach of this Section 12.02, the Contractor shall be responsible for and
shall promptly reimburse the City for any attorneys’ fees incurred by the City in removing the
action to a proper court consistent with this Section 12.02.

Section 12.03 Resolution of Disputes

A. Except as provided in Subparagraphs (A)(1) and (A)(2) below, all disputes


between the City and the Contractor that arise under, or by virtue of, this Agreement shall be
finally resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.03 and PPB Rule § 4-09.
This procedure shall be the exclusive means of resolving any such disputes.

1. This Section 12.03 shall not apply to disputes concerning matters dealt
with in other sections of the PPB Rules or to disputes involving patents, copyrights,
trademarks, or trade secrets (as interpreted by the courts of New York State) relating to
proprietary rights in computer software, or to termination other than for cause.

2. For construction and construction-related services this Section 12.03 shall


apply only to disputes about the scope of work delineated by the Agreement, the
interpretation of Agreement documents, the amount to be paid for extra work or disputed
work performed in connection with the Agreement, the conformity of the Contractor’s
work to the Agreement, and the acceptability and quality of the Contractor’s work; such
disputes arise when the City Engineer, City Resident Engineer, City Engineering Audit
Officer, or other designee of the Agency Head makes a determination with which the
Contractor disagrees. For construction, this Section 12.03 shall not apply to termination
of the Agreement for cause or other than for cause.

B. All determinations required by this Section 12.03 shall be clearly stated, with a
reasoned explanation for the determination based on the information and evidence presented to
the party making the determination. Failure to make such determination within the time required
by this Section 12.03 shall be deemed a non-determination without prejudice that will allow
application to the next level.

43
Appendix A January 2018 Final

C. During such time as any dispute is being presented, heard, and considered
pursuant to this Section 12.03, the Agreement terms shall remain in full force and effect and,
unless otherwise directed by the ACCO or Engineer, the Contractor shall continue to perform
work in accordance with the Agreement and as directed by the ACCO or City Engineer, City
Resident Engineer, City Engineering Audit Officer, or other designee of the Agency Head.
Failure of the Contractor to continue the work as directed shall constitute a waiver by the
Contractor of any and all claims being presented pursuant to this Section 12.03 and a material
breach of contract.

D. Presentation of Dispute to Agency Head.

1. Notice of Dispute and Agency Response. The Contractor shall present


its dispute in writing (“Notice of Dispute”) to the Agency Head within the time specified
herein, or, if no time is specified, within 30 Days of receiving written notice of the
determination or action that is the subject of the dispute. This notice requirement shall
not be read to replace any other notice requirements contained in the Agreement. The
Notice of Dispute shall include all the facts, evidence, documents, or other basis upon
which the Contractor relies in support of its position, as well as a detailed computation
demonstrating how any amount of money claimed by the Contractor in the dispute was
arrived at. Within 30 Days after receipt of the complete Notice of Dispute, the ACCO or,
in the case of construction or construction-related services, the City Engineer, City
Resident Engineer, City Engineering Audit Officer, or other designee of the Agency
Head, shall submit to the Agency Head all materials he or she deems pertinent to the
dispute. Following initial submissions to the Agency Head, either party may demand of
the other the production of any document or other material the demanding party believes
may be relevant to the dispute. The requested party shall produce all relevant materials
that are not otherwise protected by a legal privilege recognized by the courts of New
York State. Any question of relevancy shall be determined by the Agency Head whose
decision shall be final. Willful failure of the Contractor to produce any requested
material whose relevancy the Contractor has not disputed, or whose relevancy has been
affirmatively determined, shall constitute a waiver by the Contractor of its claim.

2. Agency Head Inquiry. The Agency Head shall examine the material and
may, in his or her discretion, convene an informal conference with the Contractor and the
ACCO and, in the case of construction or construction-related services, the City
Engineer, City Resident Engineer, City Engineering Audit Officer, or other designee of
the Agency Head, to resolve the issue by mutual consent prior to reaching a
determination. The Agency Head may seek such technical or other expertise as he or she
shall deem appropriate, including the use of neutral mediators, and require any such
additional material from either or both parties as he or she deems fit. The Agency Head’s
ability to render, and the effect of, a decision hereunder shall not be impaired by any
negotiations in connection with the dispute presented, whether or not the Agency Head
participated therein. The Agency Head may or, at the request of any party to the dispute,
shall compel the participation of any other contractor with a contract related to the work
of this Agreement and that contractor shall be bound by the decision of the Agency Head.
Any contractor thus brought into the dispute resolution proceeding shall have the same
rights and obligations under this Section 12.03 as the Contractor initiating the dispute.

44
Appendix A January 2018 Final

3. Agency Head Determination. Within 30 Days after the receipt of all


materials and information, or such longer time as may be agreed to by the parties, the
Agency Head shall make his or her determination and shall deliver or send a copy of such
determination to the Contractor and ACCO and, in the case of construction or
construction-related services, the City Engineer, City Resident Engineer, City
Engineering Audit Officer, or other designee of the Agency Head, together with a
statement concerning how the decision may be appealed.

4. Finality of Agency Head Decision. The Agency Head’s decision shall


be final and binding on all parties, unless presented to the Contract Dispute Resolution
Board (“CDRB”) pursuant to this Section 12.03. The City may not take a petition to the
CDRB. However, should the Contractor take such a petition, the City may seek, and the
CDRB may render, a determination less favorable to the Contractor and more favorable
to the City than the decision of the Agency Head.

E. Presentation of Dispute to the Comptroller. Before any dispute may be brought


by the Contractor to the CDRB, the Contractor must first present its claim to the Comptroller for
his or her review, investigation, and possible adjustment.

1. Time, Form, and Content of Notice. Within 30 Days of receipt of a


decision by the Agency Head, the Contractor shall submit to the Comptroller and to the
Agency Head a Notice of Claim regarding its dispute with the Agency. The Notice of
Claim shall consist of (i) a brief statement of the substance of the dispute, the amount of
money, if any, claimed and the reason(s) the Contractor contends the dispute was
wrongly decided by the Agency Head; (ii) a copy of the decision of the Agency Head;
and (iii) a copy of all materials submitted by the Contractor to the Agency, including the
Notice of Dispute. The Contractor may not present to the Comptroller any material not
presented to the Agency Head, except at the request of the Comptroller.

2. Agency Response. Within 30 Days of receipt of the Notice of Claim,


the Agency shall make available to the Comptroller a copy of all material submitted by
the Agency to the Agency Head in connection with the dispute. The Agency may not
present to the Comptroller any material not presented to the Agency Head, except at the
request of the Comptroller.

IRAN DIVESTMENT ACT COMPLIANCE RIDER FOR
NEW YORK CITY CONTRACTORS

The Iran Divestment Act of 2012, effective as of April 12, 2012, is codified at State

Finance Law ("SFV') §165-a and General Municipal Law ("GML") §103-g. The Iran

Divestment Act, with certain exceptions, prohibits municipalities, including the City, from

entering into contracts with persons engaged in investment activities in the energy sector of

Iran. Pursuant to the terms set forth in SFL §165-a and GML §103-g, a person engages in

investment activities in the energy sector of Iran if:

(a) the person provides goods or services of twenty million dollars

or more in the energy sector of Iran, including a person that provides oil or

liquefied natural gas tankers, or products used to construct or maintain

pipelines used to transport oil or liquefied natural gas, for the energy sector

of Iran; or

(b) The person is a financial institution that extends twenty million

dollars or more in credit to another person, for forty-five days or more, if

that person will use the credit to provide goods or services in the energy

sector in Iran and is identified on a list created pursuant to paragraph (b) of

subdivision three of Section 165-a of the State Finance Law and maintained

by the Commissioner of the Office of General Services.

A bid or proposal shall not be considered for award nor shall any award be made

where the bidder or proposer fails to submit a signed and verified bidder's certification.
Each bidder or proposer must certify that it is not on the list of entities engaged in

investment activities in Iran created pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision 3 of Section

165-a of the State Finance Law. In any case where the bidder or proposer cannot certify

that they are not on such list, the bidder or proposer shall so state and shall furnish with

the bid or proposal a signed statement which sets forth in detail the reasons why such

statement cannot be made. The City of New York may award a bid to a bidder who cannot

make the certification on a case by case basis if:

(1) The investment activities in Iran were made before the effective date

of this section (i.e., April 12, 2012), the investment activities in Iran have not been expanded

or renewed after the effective date of this section and the person has adopted, publicized

and is implementing a formal plan to cease the investment activities in Iran and to refrain

from engaging in any new investments in Iran: or

(2) The City makes a determination that the goods or services are

necessary for the City to perform its functions and that, absent such an exemption, the City

would be unable to obtain the goods or services for which the contract is offered. Such

determination shall be made in writing and shall be a public document.

BIDDER'S CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH
IRAN DIVESTMENT ACT

knowledge and belief, that each bidder/proposer is not on the list created pursuant to
paragraph (b) of subdivision 3 of Section 165-a of the State Finance Law.

□ I am unable to certify that my name and the name of the bidder/proposer does not appear
on the list created pursuant to paragraph (b) of subdivision 3 of Section 165-a of the State
Finance Law. I have attached a signed statement setting forth in detail why I cannot so
