Contractor shall provide equal opportunity in all employment practices. Consultants shall ensure that their subcontractors comply with this program. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to hold a Consultant liable for any discriminatory practice of its subcontractors.
Nondiscrimination The Contractor, with regard to the work performed by it during the Contract, will not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, or national origin in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment. The Contractor will not participate directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by the Acts and the Regulations, including employment practices when the Contract covers any activity, project, or program set forth in Appendix B of 49 CFR Part 21.
Performance of Work by City If the Contractor fails to perform the Work in accordance with the schedule referred to in section 2 above, the City may, in its discretion, in order to bring the project closer to the schedule, perform or cause to be performed some or all of the Work, and doing so shall not waive any of the City’s rights and remedies. Before doing so, the City shall give the Contractor notice of its intention. The Contractor shall reimburse the City for additional costs incurred by the City in exercising its right to perform or cause to be performed some or all of the Work pursuant to this section.
Performance of Work a. Contractor shall perform all Work in a good and workmanlike manner. Contractor shall maintain sufficient staff and crews to perform all Work in an expeditious manner consistent with the interests of the Park District. Contractor shall promptly notify the Park District immediately in writing: (i) of any information required from the Park District and necessary for Contractor to complete its Work in a timely manner; and (ii) of any Work requested by the Park District or required for the project that is not included in the scope of Work reflected in the Contract Documents. Contractor shall be solely responsible for means and methods selected in performing the Work. Contractor shall supervise all Work so that it is performed in a safe and expeditious manner. Contractor shall be solely responsible for the Work of its employees and its subcontractors’ and suppliers’ employees. Contractor shall keep all documents and information related to the project confidential and, except as required by law, shall not disclose such documents or information to any person or other party except the employees of Contractor and its subcontractors who need such documents or information to perform the Work and complete the project.
b. Contractor shall confine all equipment, the storage of materials and the operations of its workers, to limits indicated by law, ordinances, permits, or directions of the Park District and shall not unreasonably encumber the project site with such materials. The project site shall not be utilized for the storage of vehicles, materials, equipment, or fixtures not intended for the Work to be performed.
c. Contractor shall notify all utility companies, public and private, as necessary in advance of commencing performance of the Work. The responsibility for moving water lines, gas lines, wire lines, service connections, water and gas meter boxes, water and gas valve boxes, light standards, cable ways, signals and all other utility appurtenances which are within the limits of the proposed construction will be assumed by the Contractor, at no additional compensation. The Contractor shall verify the location of all utilities prior to the start of construction and shall be responsible for the preservation of existing utility installation and the cost of providing precautionary supports, braces, or other equipment to insure against damage to said utility installation. The cost to repair and replace any new or existing utilities damaged will be paid for by the Contractor.
d. If Contractor uncovers or discovers any concealed condition differing materially from conditions depicted in the Contract Documents or differing from conditions reasonably anticipated or inherent in the Work, Contractor shall immediately stop the Work and notify the Park District of the condition in writing. The Park District shall then issue written directions. Contractor shall not proceed with the Work until the Park District has issued written directions. The contract time and Contract Sum shall be equitably adjusted if necessitated by such directions of the Park District.
Performance of Service 2.1 Appendix A (General Provisions), Articles 1 through 16, governs the performance of services under this contract. 2.2 Appendix B sets forth the liability and insurance provisions of this contract. 2.3 Appendix C sets forth the services to be performed by the contractor.
Excuse for Nonperformance or Delayed Performance Except with respect to defaults of subcontractors, Contractor/Vendor shall not be in default by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (including any failure by Contractor/Vendor to make progress in the prosecution of the work hereunder which endangers such performance) if Contractor/Vendor has notified the Commission or designee within 15 days after the cause of the delay and the failure arises out of causes such as: acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of the State and any other governmental entity in its sovereign or contractual capacity; fires; floods; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes or other labor disputes; freight embargoes; or unusually severe weather. If the failure to perform is caused by the failure of a subcontractor to perform or to make progress, and if such failure arises out of causes similar to those set forth above, Contractor/Vendor shall not be deemed to be in default, unless the services to be furnished by the subcontractor were reasonably obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to permit Contractor to meet the contract requirements. Upon request of Contractor, the Commission or designee shall ascertain the facts and extent of such failure, and, if such officer determines that any failure to perform was occasioned by any one or more of the excusable causes, and that, but for the excusable cause, Contractor’s progress and performance would have met the terms of the contract, the delivery schedule shall be revised accordingly, subject to the rights of the State under the clause entitled (in fixed-price contracts, “Termination for Convenience,” in cost-reimbursement contracts, “Termination”). (As used in this Paragraph of this clause, the term “subcontractor” means subcontractor at any tier).
Offshore Performance of Work Prohibited Due to security and identity protection concerns, all services under this Agreement shall be performed within the borders of the United States. All storage and processing of information shall be performed within the borders of the United States. This provision applies to work performed by the Subrecipient’s contractors and subcontractors at all tiers.
Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity Consultant shall not discriminate, on the basis of a person’s race, religion, color, national origin, age, physical or mental handicap or disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, or sexual orientation, against any employee, applicant for employment, subcontractor, bidder for a subcontract, or participant in, recipient of, or applicant for any services or programs provided by Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, policies, rules, and requirements related to equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in employment, contracting, and the provision of any services that are the subject of this Agreement, including but not limited to the satisfaction of any positive obligations required of Consultant thereby. Consultant shall include the provisions of this Subsection in any subcontract approved by the City or this Agreement.
