Living Wage Ordinance A. Not-for-Profit Corporations: If you are a corporation having federal tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are recognized under Illinois not-for-profit law, then the provisions of Sections B through F below do not apply. B. Section 2-92-610 of the Municipal Code provides for a living wage for certain categories of workers employed in the performance of City contracts, specifically non-City employed security guards, parking attendants, day laborers, home and health care workers, cashiers, elevator operators, custodial workers and clerical workers ("Covered Employees"). C. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2-92-610 and regulations promulgated under it: i. If you have 25 or more full-time employees, and ii. If at any time during the performance of this Agreement, you and/or any subcontractor or any other entity that provides any portion of the Services (collectively "Performing Parties") uses 25 or more full-time security guards, or any number of other full-time Covered Employees, then iii. You must pay your Covered Employees, and must assure that all other Performing Parties pay their Covered Employees, not less than the minimum hourly rate as determined in accordance with this provision (the "Base Wage") for all Services performed under this Agreement. D. Your obligation to pay, and to assure payment of, the Base Wage will begin at any time during the Term when the conditions set forth in C.i. and C.ii. above are met, and will continue until the end of the Term. E. As of July 1, 2014, the Base Wage became $11.93 per hour, and each July 1 thereafter, the Base Wage will be adjusted, using the most recent federal poverty guidelines for a family of four as published annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to constitute the following: the poverty guidelines for a family of four divided by 2000 hours or the current base wage, whichever is higher. At all times during the Term, you and all other Performing Parties must pay the Base Wage (as adjusted in accordance with the above). If the payment of prevailing wages is required for Services done under this Agreement, and the prevailing wages for Covered Employees are higher than the Base Wage, then you and all other Performing Parties must pay the prevailing wage rates. F. You must include provisions in all subcontracts requiring your subcontractors to pay the Base Wage to Covered Employees. You must provide the City with documentation acceptable to the Chief Procurement Officer demonstrating that all Covered Employees, whether employed by you or by a subcontractor, have been paid the Base Wage, upon the City’s request for such documentation. The City may independently audit you and/or subcontractors to verify compliance with this section. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section will be an event of default under this Agreement, and further, failure to comply may result in ineligibility for any award of a City contract or subcontract for up to 3 years.

Adhere to 48 CFR 3.908, implementing section 828, entitled “Pilot Program for Enhancement of Contractor Whistleblower Protections,” of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112-239, enacted January 2, 2013), as it applies to this Contract. 2. Recognize any same-sex marriage legally entered into in a United States (U.S.) jurisdiction that recognizes their marriage, including one of the fifty (50) states, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory, or in a foreign county so long as that marriage would also be recognized by a U.S. jurisdiction. This applies regardless of whether or not the couple resides in a jurisdiction that recognizes same-sex marriage. However, this does not apply to registered domestic partnerships, civil unions or similar formal relationships recognized under the law of the jurisdiction of celebration as something other than a marriage. Accordingly, recipients must review and revise, as needed, any policies and procedures which interpret or apply federal statutory or regulatory references to such terms as “marriage,” “spouse,” “family,” “household member” or similar references to familial relationships to reflect inclusion of same-sex spouse and marriages. Any similar familial terminology references in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) statutes, regulations, or policy transmittals will be interpreted to include same-sex spouses and marriages legally entered into as described herein. [USC 7 – Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act]. 3. To ensure all data is collected for the unmet need as requested by the U.S. Legislature, Subrecipient must develop and implement a Wait List policy and procedure. The policy and procedure must include provisions for: prescreening individuals to determine eligibility; managing applicants’ placement on and removal from the Wait List; periodically reviewing the eligibility and identified needs of applicants on the Wait List; and assigning priority for enrollment based on Wait List. 4. Nondiscrimination Shall comply with all federal statutes relating to nondiscrimination. These include those statutes and laws contained in the Contractor Certification Clauses (CCC 307) from CDA, which is hereby incorporated by reference. In addition, the Subrecipient shall comply with the following: a. Equal Access to Federally-Funded Benefits, Programs, and Activities Subrecipient shall ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [42 USC 2000d; 45 CFR 80], which prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from discriminating against persons based on race, color, religion, or national origin. b. Equal Access to State-Funded Benefits, Programs, and Activities Subrecipient shall, unless exempted, ensure compliance with the requirements of Cal. Gov. Code § 11135 et seq., and 2 CCR § 11140 et seq., which prohibit recipients of state financial assistance from discriminating against persons based on race, national origin, ethnic group identification, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, color, or disability. [2 CCR § 98323] c. California Civil Rights Laws Subrecipient shall, ensure compliance with the requirements of California Public Contract Code § 2010 by submitting a completed California Civil Rights Laws Certification, prior to execution of this Contract. The California Civil Rights Laws Certification ensures Subrecipient compliance with the Xxxxx Civil Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 51) and the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Cal. Gov. Code § 12960), and ensures that Subrecipient internal policies are not used in violation of California Civil Rights Laws. d. Subrecipient assures the OoA and State that is complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, as well as all applicable regulations and guidelines issued pursuant to the ADA. [42 USC 12101 et seq.] e. Subrecipient agrees to include these requirements in all contracts it enters into with Subcontractors to provide services pursuant to this Contract. 5. Conflict of Interest a. Subrecipient shall prevent employees, consultants, or members of governing bodies from using their positions for purposes including, but not limited to, the selection of Subcontractors, that are, or give the appearance of being, motivated by a desire for private gain for themselves or others, such as family, business, or other ties. In the event that the OoA and/or State determines that a conflict of interest exists, any increase in costs associated with the conflict of interest may be disallowed by the OoA and/or State and such conflict may constitute grounds for termination of the Contract. b. This provision shall not be construed to prohibit employment of persons with whom the Subrecipient’s officers, agents, or employees have family, business, or other ties, so long as the employment of such persons does not result in a conflict of interest (real or apparent) or increased costs over those associated with the employment of any other equally qualified applicant, and such persons have successfully competed for employment with the other applicants on a merit basis. 6. Facility Construction or Repair This section applies only to Title III funds and not to other funds allocated to other Titles under the Older Americans Act. Title III funds may be used for facility construction or repair. a. When applicable for purposes of construction or repair of facilities, the Subrecipient shall comply with the provisions contained in the following and shall include such provisions in any applicable agreements with Subcontractors: • Xxxxxxxx “Anti-Kickback” Act.
