(v) The Contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of
<br /> September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
<br /> (vi) The Contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive
<br /> Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of
<br /> Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the
<br /> administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain
<br /> compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
<br /> (vii) In the event of the Contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination
<br /> clauses of this Agreement or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this Agreement
<br /> may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in pad and the Contractor may be
<br /> declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts
<br /> in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and
<br /> such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order
<br /> 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as

<br /> pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions
<br /> will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The Contractor will take such action with
<br /> respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means
<br /> of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
<br /> Provided, however, that in the event the Contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with,
<br /> litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency,

<br /> of the United States.

<br /> opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such
<br /> government which does not participate in work on or under the Agreement.
<br /> The City agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the
<br /> Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of the Contractor and subcontractors with the
<br /> equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor,
<br /> that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they
<br /> may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the
<br /> administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing
<br /> compliance.
<br /> The City further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification
<br /> subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who
<br /> has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction
