<br /> respectively.
<br /> GENERAL ASSURANCES
<br /> In accordance with the Acts, the Regulations, and other pertinent directives, circulars, policy, memoranda,
<br /> and/or guidance, the Recipient hereby gives assurance that it will promptly take any measures necessary to
<br /> ensure that:

<br /> Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other non-discrimination requirements (the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and
<br /> Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973), by restoring the broad, institutional-wide scope and coverage of
<br /> these nondiscrimination statutes and requirements to include all programs and activities of the Recipient, so
<br /> long as any portion of the program is Federally assisted.

<br /> imposed by, or pursuant to the Acts and the Regulations.
<br /> 2. The Recipient will insert the following notification in all solicitations for bids, Requests For
<br /> Proposals for work, or material subject to the Acts and the Regulations made in connection with all
<br /> Highway Safety Grant Programs and, in adapted form, in all proposals for negotiated agreements
<br /> regardless of funding source:
<br /> "The(name of Recipient], in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
<br /> 1964 (78 Stat. 252, 42 U.S.0 2000d to 200Od-4) and the Regulations, hereby notifies all bidders
<br /> that it will affirmatively ensure that in any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement,
<br /> disadvantaged business enterprises will be afforded full and fair opportunity to submit bids in
<br /> response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, or
<br /> national origin in consideration for an award."
