<br />Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or
<br />pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency
<br />and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules,
<br />regulations, and orders.
<br />(vii) In the event of the CONTRACTOR's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination
<br />clauses of this Construction Contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this Construction
<br />Contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the CONTRACTOR may be
<br />declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in
<br />accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other
<br />sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24,

<br />applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate

<br />The CITY agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary
<br />of Labor in obtaining the compliance of the CONTRACTOR and subcontractors with the equal
<br />opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will
<br />furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the
<br />supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge
<br />of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.
