second part from the party of the first part.
<br /> During the performance of this contract, the second party, for itself, its assignees and successors in interest (hereinafter referred to as
<br />the “contractor”), agrees as follows:
<br />a. Compliance with Regulations: The contractor shall comply with the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination in Federally-
<br />assisted programs of the U. S. Department of Transportation, Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21, as they may be
<br />amended from time to time, (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations), which are herein incorporated by reference and
<br />made a part of this contract.
<br />b. Nondiscrimination: The contractor, with regard to the work performed by it during the contract, shall not discriminate on the
<br />grounds of race, color, or national origin in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurements of materials
<br />and leases of equipment. The contractor shall not participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by
<br />Section 21.5 of the Regulations, including employment practices when the contract covers a program set forth in Appendix B
<br />of the Regulations.
<br />c. Solicitations for Subcontracts, including Procurements of Materials and Equipment: In all solicitations either by competitive
<br />bidding or negotiation made by the contractor for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurements of
<br />materials or leases of equipment, each potential subcontractor or supplier shall be notified by the contractor of the
<br />contractor’s obligations under this contract and the Regulations relative to nondiscrimination on the grounds of race, color,
<br />or national origin.
<br />d. Information and Reports: The contractor shall provide all information and reports required by the Regulations, or directives
<br />issued pursuant thereto, and shall permit access to its books, records, accounts, other sources of information, and its
<br />facilities as may be determined by the Department of Transportation or the Federal Highway Administration to be pertinent to
<br />ascertain compliance with such Regulations or directives. Where any information required of a contractor is in the exclusive
<br />possession of another who fails or refuses to furnish this information, the contractor shall so certify to the Department of
<br />Transportation, or the Federal Highway Administration as appropriate, and shall set forth what efforts it has made to obtain
<br />the information.
<br />e. Sanctions for Noncompliance: In the event of the contractor’s noncompliance with the nondiscrimination provisions of this
<br />contract, the Department of Transportation shall impose such contract sanctions as it or the Federal Highway Administration
<br />may determine to be appropriate, including, but not limited to,
<br /> (1) withholding of payments to the contractor under the contract until the contractor complies, and/or
<br /> (2) cancellation, termination or suspension of the contract, in whole or in part.
<br />f. Incorporation of Provisions: The contractor shall include the provisions of paragraphs “a” through “f” in every subcontract,
<br />including procurements of materials and leases of equipment, unless exempt by the Regulations, or directives issued
<br />pursuant thereto. The contractor shall take such action with respect to any subcontract or procurement as the Department
<br />of Transportation or the Federal Highway Administration may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions including
<br />sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, that, in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with,
<br />litigation with a subcontractor or supplier as a result of such direction, the contractor may request the Department of
<br />Transportation to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the State, and, in addition, the contractor may request
<br />the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
<br />
<br />
<br /> That when title to the subject that constitutes the aforesaid encroachment passes from the party of the second
<br />part and vests in the party of the third part, the party of the third part agrees to assume all responsibilities and rights and to
<br />perform all obligations as agreed to herein by the party of the second part.
<br />

<br />R/W (166) incorporating all revisions to date.
<br />
