1.

This Standard Purchase Agreement and all exhibits (“Agreement”) shall be governed by and performed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the purchase agreement (“Contract”) entered into between WARRIOR GROUP and Hensel Phelps Construction Company (“Contractor”) and the prime contract between the Owner of the Project and Contractor, including the plans and specifications and addenda or amendments issued thereto (collectively, the “Contract Documents”). Except as otherwise provided herein Vendor hereby assumes toward WARRIOR GROUP all obligations which WARRIOR GROUP assumes toward the Contractor under the Contract Documents with respect to the work to be performed and the goods to be supplied pursuant to this Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Contract Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control and prevail.

2.

Vendor warrants that the prices charged in connection with this order conform to all applicable government regulations. Vendor further warrants and agrees to defend and hold harmless WARRIOR GROUP from and against all suits or claims arising herefrom for infringement of any patent rights held or alleged to be held by others relating to the Goods and Services to be provided under this Agreement.

3.

Vendor acknowledges WARRIOR GROUP status as a consumer. If a sales tax or use tax is applicable to the purchase hereunder, Vendor agrees that such a tax will be setforth as a separate item for billing purposes and is included in the price set forth in this Agreement except to the extent expressly provided otherwise.  Vendor shall be responsible for the collection and payment to appropriate government authorities of any sales or use taxes that may be applicable to the purchase called for by this Agreement.

4.

Vendor acknowledges and agrees that payment by WARRIOR GROUP is conditioned upon timely delivery to WARRIOR GROUP of the Goods and Services complying in all material respects with the Contract Documents in sound, usable, and reasonably acceptable condition. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or act to create a contractual relationship between WARRIOR GROUP and any shipper of goods hereunder. It shall be the Vendor’s sole responsibility to arrange for delivery of the Goods without liability to WARRIOR GROUP. Vendor shall designate shipping routes and methods and shall be fully responsible for selection of the most expeditious and reliable means of accomplishing delivery to destination.  

5.

Terms shall be f.o.b. Project jobsite, freight prepaid. Vendor agrees to insure the Goods called for hereunder for the full price set forth herein while such Goods are in transit and until delivered to the jobsite. Vendor shall deliver written confirmation of such insurance coverage to WARRIOR GROUP prior to shipment of Goods.

6.

The payment terms Payment shall be made to the Vendor on a monthly basis to a bank account chosen by Vendor or mailed to a ban lock box chosen by Vendor according to a mutually acceptable schedule of values which the parties agree to negotiate in good faith.  Vendor may supply designated carrier for delivery of check to be charged to Vendors account. Vendor will supply account numbers for any carrier service designated for delivery.  Invoices rendered for goods hereunder shall be regarded as due seven (7) days following receipt of collected funds paid to The WARRIOR GROUP by the Prime Contractor under the Prime Contract.  If any act or omission of Vendor shall cause or contribute to a delay in the receipt by WARRIOR GROUP of periodic or final payment under the Contract, Vendor further agrees that no payment hereunder shall be considered due until and unless delivery of the good for which invoices are rendered has been accomplished in a reasonably satisfactory manner and in compliance in all material respects with the terms hereof.  The acceptance of the Goods and Services by Owner, Contractor and WARRIOR GROUP’S receipt of payment for the same are conditions precedent to its obligation to pay Vendor. Vendor assumes the financial risk of non-payment by Owner and Contractor.

7.

Time is of the essence of this Agreement. Vendor acknowledges that it has familiarized itself with all of the conditions of the locality, Project, Contract Documents and any other factor which may affect its performance, and WARRIOR GROUP shall not be liable for additional payment to the Vendor on account of its misunderstanding or failure to familiarize itself with such factors and conditions.  The Vendor, having stated or acknowledged the required delivery date or dates called for on the face of this Agreement, shall be responsible for the necessary execution of orders; planning and scheduling; correlation of Contract Documents; preparation, submission and approval of shop drawings, samples, schedules, templates and other required submittals; expediting or shipping procedures; to guarantee delivery of this order by the stipulated date or dates, barring circumstances beyond control of the Vendor. Vendor agrees to exercise due diligence, and to cause each of its authorized agents or representatives to exercise due diligence, in executing and processing this order in all of its terms. Vendor agrees to keep WARRIOR GROUP fully informed as to the delivery status of the Goods and Services required by this Agreement, and to advise WARRIOR GROUP, in writing, of any delay, circumstance or development in the execution, processing or shipment of this order which may impair Vendor’s ability to meet the required delivery date or dates or which may otherwise affect the discharge of Vendor’s obligations under this Agreement. Should the Vendor fail in this, or in any of the other requirements of this Agreement in any material respect, WARRIOR GROUP may, modify or cancel this order after giving Vendor written notice specifying such failure and at least five (5) business days from receipt of such notice to cure such failure or commence the necessary work to cure a failure that cannot be cured within such five (5) business day period and WARRIOR GROUP may place or re-place the order, in full or in part, with others all without prejudice to any other right or remedy it may have. Upon such cancellation or modification, all materials and equipment fabricated to date called for hereunder shall be delivered to WARRIOR GROUP. In the event of such cancellation, no additional funds shall be due Vendor with respect to this Agreement until all Goods and Services originally called for under this Agreement have been accepted by the Owner and, Contractor, and WARRIOR GROUP has received payment therefore. At such time, Vendor shall be entitled to payment only to the extent that the outstanding amount due Vendor for deliveries actually made to the Project exceeds the additional costs or damages incurred by WARRIOR GROUP in procuring the Goods and Services deleted from this Agreement and any other additional costs or damages, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by WARRIOR GROUP as a result of Vendor’s failure of performance. In the event of such modification or cancellation, Vendor hereby assigns to WARRIOR GROUP, which assignment may be accepted at the option of WARRIOR GROUP, any or all supply agreements or Agreements entered into by Vendor relating to the modified or cancelled portion of this Agreement and Vendor hereby acknowledges that should WARRIOR GROUP elect such assignment, this provision may be relied upon by such lower tier suppliers or vendors as evidencing the consent of Vendor to such assignment. Vendor acknowledges the potential for liability for damages to WARRIOR GROUP resulting from the Vendors failure to perform in a timely manner. In any determination of damages attributable to any failure or deficiency in performance by Vendor, WARRIOR GROUP shall recover all damages it may sustain, as well as all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees which may arise from the enforcement of any suit for damages under this Agreement. In the event the Vendor is delayed in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement by any circumstances beyond its control, and for which a time extension may be granted under the Contract, Vendor hereby agrees to notify WARRIOR GROUP immediately by filing a written request with WARRIOR GROUP for an extension of time within five (5) business days of the date on which the delay first occurred; otherwise, to the extent such delay prejudices WARRIOR GROUP, Vendor shall waive any claim with respect to such delay. WARRIOR GROUP will promptly relay any such request deemed valid to the Contractor, but shall not be responsible for its acceptance. Vendor shall not be liable for any delay in completing the work hereunder if the delay arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Vendor, including, without limitation, acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of the Owner in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with the Owner or Contractor, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, unusually severe weather, or delays of subcontractors or suppliers at any tier arising from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of both the Vendor and the subcontractors or suppliers; provided that, Vendor shall notify Contractor of such delay within five (5) business days from the beginning of such delay.

The Vendor hereby agrees to submit or resubmit any and all shop and fabrication drawings, design and performance data, certificates, tests, samples, templates, operation and/or maintenance manuals, schedules, color selections and descriptive product data promptly and as required by the Contract Documents, all in sufficient quantity as to adequately provide for the needs of all interested parties. Approval of any of the foregoing by WARRIOR GROUP, Contractor or the Owner shall not alter the requirements of the Contract Documents for quality, quantity, finish, dimension, design and configuration, except to the extent specifically noted by Vendor and approved by the Owner or Owner’s authorized agent; nor shall such approval constitute acceptance by WARRIOR GROUP of any method, material or equipment not ultimately acceptable to the Owner or Owners authorized agent; nor shall such approval, or the lack thereof, relieve the Vendor of any of its responsibilities to WARRIOR GROUP pursuant to this Agreement. The Vendor further agrees that the cost of all designs, drawings, tests, samples, templates and mock-ups required pursuant to this Agreement, together with field measurements, sampling and shipping or delivery expense connected with any of the foregoing, is included in the price of this Agreement as may be changed from time to time by change orders. The Vendor hereby agrees that the entire cost of altering, reworking, and refinishing any manufactured or fabricated items not conforming to approved designs, drawings, templates or samples shall be borne by the Vendor, but only to the extent they fail to conform.

9.

Any proposed substitution of materials, equipment, or methods of fabrication for those shown or specified in the Contract Documents shall be approved in writing by the Owner or Owner’s authorized agent, WARRIOR GROUP and Contractor if such substitution is proposed subsequent to bidding. If any such substitution involves changes in the work of WARRIOR GROUP or others, and such change has not been brought to WARRIOR GROUP’S attention, in writing, prior to the date of this Agreement, the cost of any such change shall be borne by the party making the substitution.

10.

WARRIOR GROUP shall have the right, and such right is acknowledged, to withhold a fair and equitable amount from any payment due hereunder pending satisfactory settlement of any claims against the Project or against WARRIOR GROUP by third parties for amounts allegedly due from Vendor relating to this Agreement, or for disputes involving the Vendor and other vendors or subcontractors, specificallly relating to this Agreement, wherein WARRIOR GROUP is directly or indirectly an interested party. It is further agreed that WARRIOR GROUP may withhold a fair and equitable amount from any payment due hereunder pending satisfactory settlement of any charges, expenses or costs incurred as a result of failure of the Goods and Services provided pursuant to this Agreement to fully meet the requirements of the Contract Documents. It is further agreed that WARRIOR GROUP may withhold payment if Vendor shall fail to honor any representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the materials furnished under this Agreement or any other agreement between Vendor and WARRIOR GROUP. WARRIOR GROUP may issue any portion of the payments due hereunder by the means of a check made payable to the joint order of Vendor and such of Vendors workmen, material men, suppliers, or vendors who may have lien rights, stop notice rights, or rights against any bond posted by WARRIOR GROUP with respect to the Project . Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, this provision may not be enforced against the Vendor when the reason for the lien, claim or cause of action results from the failure to pay by Owner or Contractor of sums otherwise due and owing to Vendor under the terms of this Agreement. Vendor agrees to indemnify and defend WARRIOR GROUP from any and all lien claims, stop notices, and/or bond claims arising from Vendor’s performance under this Agreement.

11.

Vendor agrees to furnish a full lien waiver and release as a condition of final payment, and further agrees to furnish partial lien waivers and releases, upon the request and at the option of WARRIOR GROUP, all such releases shall be conditional on payment. All costs of defending the Owner, the Contractor or WARRIOR GROUP against claims, including mechanics liens, asserted or filed against them by creditors of the Vendor shall be deducted from monies otherwise due, provided that a sufficient balance to cover such costs remains unpaid at the time notification of the claims is received. If the full amount of this Agreement has been paid, or if the balance due is not sufficient to offset such costs, the Vendor agrees to reimburse WARRIOR GROUP for any and all expenses arising from the claim or claims, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.  Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, this provision may not be enforced against the Vendor when the reason for the lien, claim or cause of action results from the failure to pay by Owner or Contractor of sums otherwise due and owing to Vendor under the terms of this Agreement.

12.

Vendor agrees to furnish a good and sufficient Supply Bond with a Surety and on a form acceptable to WARRIOR GROUP within fifteen (15) days following receipt and execution of this Agreement. Vendor further agrees, in the event said Supply Bond is not called for on the face of this Agreement and is not an original condition of this Agreement, to obtain and furnish such Supply Bond covering the remainder of its obligations hereunder at any time during the life of this Agreement upon seven (7) days written request by WARRIOR GROUP. Unless otherwise stipulated, the premium cost of such Supply Bond shall be borne by Vendor.

13.

It is agreed that the Vendor shall not assign or sublet this Agreement or any part hereof, including payments hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of WARRIOR GROUP. Unless specifically waived in writing by WARRIOR GROUP, WARRIOR GROUP shall have a prior claim and offset right against payments due or to become due under this Agreement between the parties in the event Vendor fails to comply or shall become disabled from complying with the terms of this Agreement between the parties. In the event any claim or claims are asserted against WARRIOR GROUP by parties supplying material or services to the Vendor for use under this Agreement between the parties and such claims arise from Vendor’s failure to pay or other breach of agreement with such suppliers, it is agreed that WARRIOR GROUP may set off and apply the proceeds due or to become due hereunder to satisfy such claims.

14.

In receiving payment hereunder, Vendor agrees to apply such payment only against this order and only against the account of WARRIOR GROUP on or for this Project, unless written consent of WARRIOR GROUP shall first have been obtained for application of payments hereunder against some other account.

15.

Vendor hereby agrees, at the option and request of WARRIOR GROUP, to submit any billing for partial or “progress” payment on a form and with certification as supplied and required by WARRIOR GROUP.

16.

If the terms of this Agreement provide for the purchase of materials on a unit price basis, the unit of measure for payment shall be one for which certified verification of weights or quantities can be furnished at the time of delivery. Otherwise, Vendor agrees that WARRIOR GROUP is without means of ascertaining the accuracy of volumetric or other units of measure at the point and time of load delivery, and agrees that receipt of load tickets by WARRIOR GROUP representative at the point of delivery does not constitute acceptance of Vendors quantities for payment purposes. In the event the parties fail to agree on the actual quantities delivered, WARRIOR GROUP shall have the right to measure quantities of work in place and make final settlement on the basis of such measurement.

17.

Insurance:  Vendor agrees all operations performed at the project site involving delivery, unloading and servicing of the goods to be supplied hereunder shall be covered by at least the minimum statutory required worker’s compensation insurance (which shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of WARRIOR GROUP) and by broad form Commercial General Liability insurance policy with coverage limits on at least $2,000,000.00 per occurrence and $2,000,000.00 aggregate.  WARRIOR GROUP shall be named as an additional insured under the Commercial General Liability insurance policy, which coverage shall be primary to any insurance carried by WARRIOR GROUP.  Vendor also shall maintain automobile liability insurance coverage with minimum limits of $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $1,000,000.00 aggregate for all owned and rented vehicles employed by Vendor at the Project site.  Vendor will include a broad form vendor’s endorsement on Certificate of Liability.

NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT FOR AFFIRMATIVE

ACTION TO ENSURE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT

OPPORTUNITY (EXECUTIVE ORDER 11246)




1. The Offeror's or Bidder's attention is called to the "Equal Opportunity Clause" and the "Standard Federal Equal Employment Specifications" set forth herein.


2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in the covered area are as follows:



Participation Goals

For Each Trade

MINORITY

FEMALES

 

10.9%

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.


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 make 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 for 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.


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 subcontract is to be performed. As used in this Notice, and in the contract resulting from this solicitation, the "covered area" where the contract is to be performed is: State: Colorado County: El Paso City: Colorado Springs SMSA-1720 (43 FR 49254 Oct. 20, 1978; 43 FR 51401. Nov. 3, 1978, as amended at 45 FR 65977, Oct. 3, 1980.)





Exhibit D


STANDARD FEDERAL EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS

(EXECUTIVE ORDER 11246)


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 participation 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 participation 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 minorities and female utilization the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in the covered area.

Federal or federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being performed. Goals are published periodically in the FEDERAL REGISTER in notice form, and such noticed 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.Neithertheprovisionsofanycollectivebargainingagreement,northefailurebyaunionwithwhomtheContractor as 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.

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 organizations' 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 therefore, 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 ontractor 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. 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 onsite 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 meeting, 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. Documentation 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 supervisors' 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, maybe 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 workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetable, 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, 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.

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 maybe 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 maybe 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 the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and Community Development Block Grant Program).
