Compliance and Enforcement 1. These provisions address the additional contractual remedies available to the Airport Board as a result of the Contractor’s failure to comply with the obligations set forth in the M/WBE Program Policy and Administrative Procedures. The contractual remedies set forth are also applicable to the Contractor’s failure to comply with the Program requirements, as well as any remedies available at law or in equity. These remedies are not intended to apply to the Contractor’s failure to comply with other obligations under the Contract unrelated to the Program requirements or preclude Airport Board’s recovery of its actual damages for such unrelatedbreaches.
2. The Contractor must attend and participate in onboarding, progress, non- compliance meetings and site visits upon request. The Contractor must forward all necessary documents and information during the course of performance and to close out the Contract and must cooperate with BDDD in providing any information, including the final accounting for M/WBE participation on the Contract.
3. BDDD is empowered to receive and investigate complaints and allegations by M/WBEs, third parties or Airport Board Staff, or to initiate its own investigations, regarding Contractor’s compliance with the Program requirements. If BDDD determines that an investigation is warranted, the Contractor must fully cooperate with the investigation and provide complete, truthful information to the Airport Board or its representatives concerning the investigation and Contractor’s compliance with the Program requirements.
4. The failure of the Contractor to meet the M/WBE contractual commitment or comply with any other aspect of the Program requirements will constitute a material breach of the Contract entitling the Airport Board or its representatives to exercise any remedy available in this Contract, the Program requirements or applicable law. In addition, the failure of the Contractor to meet the M/WBE contractual commitment or comply with any other aspect of the Program requirements may be considered and have a bearing on future contract award considerations.
5. Any suspected false, fraudulent or dishonest conduct relating to the Contractor’s performance of the Program requirements may be reported to the Airport Board’s Department of Audit Services or to any applicable enforcement agency, including the State Attorney General's Office and appropriate federal law enforcement authorities.
6. If Contractor is in breach of any of the Program requirements, the Airport Board or its representatives may exercise any of following remedies, in addition to any other remedies available to it under this Contract or at law or in equity:
a. withholding funds payable under this Contract, including, but not limited to, funds payable for work self-performed by the Contractor or applicable retainage;
b. temporarily suspending, at no cost to DFW, Contractor’s performance under the Agreement/Contract;
c. termination of the Agreement/Contract;
d. suspension/debarment of Contractor for a period of time from participating in any solicitations issued by DFW for severity of breach of Contract.
7. With respect to a firm not meeting a goal on a previous contract or the underutilization of an M/WBE (or SBEs, if applicable) on a previous contract, BDDD shall regard as non-responsive any bid, proposal or competitive selection process proposal received that includes the Contractor, consultant as a Contractor, consultant, subcontractor, subconsultant, joint venture, supplier, manufacturer’s representative, or broker.

Based on this determination, the Trust hereby instructs and directs USBFS to implement the Procedures on the Trust’s behalf, as such may be amended or revised from time to time. It is contemplated that these Procedures will be amended from time to time by the parties as additional regulations are adopted and/or regulatory guidance is provided relating to the Trust’s anti-money laundering and identity theft responsibilities. USBFS agrees to provide to the Trust:
(a) Prompt written notification of any transaction or combination of transactions that USBFS believes, based on the Procedures, evidence money laundering or identity theft activities in connection with the Trust or any Fund shareholder;
(b) Prompt written notification of any customer(s) that USBFS reasonably believes, based upon the Procedures, to be engaged in money laundering or identity theft activities, provided that the Trust agrees not to communicate this information to the customer;
(c) Any reports received by USBFS from any government agency or applicable industry self-regulatory organization pertaining to USBFS’ Anti-Money Laundering Program or the Red Flag Identity Theft Prevention Program on behalf of the Trust;
(d) Prompt written notification of any action taken in response to anti-money laundering violations or identity theft activity as described in (a), (b) or (c) immediately above; and
(e) Certified annual and quarterly reports of its monitoring and customer identification activities pursuant to the Procedures on behalf of the Trust. The Trust hereby directs, and USBFS acknowledges, that USBFS shall (i) permit federal regulators access to such information and records maintained by USBFS and relating to USBFS’ implementation of the Procedures, on behalf of the Trust, as they may request, and (ii) permit such federal regulators to inspect USBFS’ implementation of the Procedures on behalf of the Trust.
