(v) The Consultant 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 Consultant will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order
<br />11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant
<br />thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the
<br />Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and
<br />orders.
<br />(vii) In the event of the Consultant's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses
<br />of this Agreement or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this Agreement may be canceled,
<br />terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the Consultant may be declared ineligible for further
<br />Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures
<br />authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed
<br />and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation,
<br />or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.
<br />(viii) The Consultant will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding
<br />paragraph (i) and the provisions of paragraphs (i) through (vii) in every subcontract or purchase order
<br />unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204
<br />of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each
<br />subcontractor or vendor. The Consultant will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase
<br />order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions
<br />for noncompliance:
<br />Provided, however, that in the event the Consultant becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation
<br />with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the Consultant
<br />may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
<br />The City further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own
<br />employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, That if the
<br />City so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable
<br />to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on
<br />or under the Agreement.
<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 Consultant and subcontractors with the equal opportunity
<br />clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the
<br />administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they may require for the supervision
<br />of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the
<br />agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.
<br />The City further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject
<br />to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not
<br />demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant
<br />
