18
(ii) In addition to and without limiting the foregoing provisions and without limiting or impairing or waiving any other right or remedy of the Port Authority under this Supplemental Agreement or the Terminal C Lease, or otherwise, the Port Authority shall have the right, in its discretion, which shall not be exercised in an arbitrary or capricious manner, to withhold from the Reimbursement Amount the amounts of any or all items contained in the Invoice in any one or more of the following events or upon any of the following bases relating to the Work (it being agreed, however, that the amount of any such withholding shall be estimated in good faith by the Port Authority to be the exposure to the Port Authority associated with such item or items and that any amount withheld shall be released to the Lessee when such item or items have been resolved to the satisfaction of the Port Authority, which determination shall not be exercised in an arbitrary or capricious manner), and the Port Authority shall notify the Lessee of the same and the basis therefor:
(1) Any contractor or other person included or covered by the Invoice is in default or under a notice of termination with respect to its contract or agreement, or has not complied with all of the applicable terms or provision of its contract or agreement;
(2) The Invoice, or any of the certifications and documentation and other items required to be contained therein, attached thereto or submitted therewith is not in accord with the terms of this Supplemental Agreement, the Terminal C Lease, or the applicable contract, or is not complete or is otherwise improper or inadequate, or the same fails to include or omits required items;
(3) Inadequate or defective work or work not in accordance with this Supplemental Agreement, the Terminal C Lease or the approved Tenant Alteration Applications or the approved plans and specifications, or materials and equipment are not properly stored or protected;

(7) Any notice, claim or allegation made by any governmental authority of violation or non-compliance by the Lessee of any Environmental Requirements with respect to the Work or any portion thereof;
(8) Materials or supplies delivered to Terminal C but not incorporated in the realty; and
(9) Any contents of the Certificate not substantiated by any Port Authority inspection or audit (but the Port Authority shall have no obligation to conduct any such inspection or audit).
(f) The entire obligation of the Port Authority under this Supplemental Agreement to reimburse the Lessee for the Cost of the Work is conditioned upon the payment to the Port Authority by TSA pursuant to the MOA of the Cost of the Work and conditioned upon the prior payment to the Port Authority of the Cost of the Work or portion of the Work to be reimbursed, and shall be limited in amount to the actual amount received by the Port Authority from the TSA under Article IV of the MOA; and the total Reimbursement Amount for the Work and all portions of the Work shall not in any event exceed the Project Reimbursement Amount. The said obligation of the Port Authority to pay each Reimbursement Amount and the Project Reimbursement Amount to the Lessee is also expressly conditioned on the authorization by the Lessee, hereby given, to the Port Authority for the submission by the Port Authority to the TSA of each Invoice for purposes of payment by the TSA of federal funds for the Cost of the Work and as to each portion of the Work, and on the warranty by the Lessee to the Port Authority that each such Invoice is proper and complete for such purposes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, other than with respect to the terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph 18, the Port Authority shall not have any responsibility or liability to the Lessee or any other person, and the Lessee shall not have any claim against the Port Authority for any cost or expense of or relating to the Work, or any part thereof, or for any failure or refusal of the TSA to make payment for the Work or any part thereof, or any failure of the TSA to perform or complete the Project or any portion thereof. The Port Authority and the Lessee agree to work in good faith in the performance of their respective obligations under this Supplemental Agreement.
Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Port Authority shall work cooperatively with the Lessee in connection with the payment by the TSA of the Reimbursement Amounts. Further, the Port Authority shall not agree to an amendment to the MOA that would materially, adversely affect the Lessee’s Work or the TSA’s reimbursement obligation, as it relates to the Lessee’s Work, it being agreed that amendments to the MOA that affect projects other than the Project, are not covered by this provision..
20
Prior to exercising its right of termination under Article XV of the MOA, the Port Authority hereby agrees that it shall resolve all disputes affecting the Lessee’s right to receive payments for the Project with the TSA pursuant to the dispute resolution provision set forth in Article XIV of the MOA. If a dispute between the TSA and the Port Authority can not be resolved through such negotiations, the Port Authority shall, immediately upon conclusion of such negotiations, submit the dispute to the Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition (“ODRA”).

The Lessee hereby agrees to pay the Port Authority’s reasonable out-of pocket expenses for such judicial review, including the reasonable costs for the Port Authority’s attorneys and outside counsel, as appropriate. The Port Authority shall not terminate the MOA during the pendency of the proceedings described in this subparagraph. In the event, upon the conclusion of such proceedings, the Port Authority shall elect to terminate the MOA, pursuant to Article XV of the MOA, the Port Authority shall provide the Lessee no less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of its intent to terminate the MOA for cause.
Without limiting the other provisions of this Section 18(f), if the MOA is terminated for any reason prior to the completion of the Project, or the Lessee and the Port Authority, together, reasonably expect that sufficient federal funding would not be available for completion of the Project, then at the Lessee’s option, the Lessee may cease the performance of the Work, or proceed with the Work at Lessee’s sole risk, cost and expense. In the event that the Lessee elects to cease the performance of the Work, the Lessee shall: (i) take such steps in winding down the Work as may be required by the MOA, to ensure that the Work already in place, as well as any areas affected by such Work, shall not be left in a condition unsafe so that there is possibility of injury or damage to life or property, and (ii) have the option to: (x) continue in occupancy of the Additional Premises, subject to the approval of the Port Authority for any new or additional use of said premises, or (y) enter into a surrender agreement, reasonably acceptable to the Lessee and the Port Authority, pursuant to which the Lessee shall surrender the Additional Premises to the Port Authority, and in such case, the Lessee shall have the right, at its option, to remove all improvements made to the Additional Premises or surrender the Additional Premises with improvements constructed thereon. If the Lessee elects to remove the improvements made to the Additional Premises prior to surrendering the Additional Premises, the Port Authority shall not be responsible for the cost of removal of any improvements made by the Lessee at the Additional Premises. Further, the Port Authority shall not be responsible for any costs associated with winding down the Work.
If the Lessee chooses to proceed with the Work, as provided above, it shall notify the TSA of its intention to do so, and seek the TSA’s approval, if so required, to proceed with the Work. In such case, unless otherwise directed by the TSA, the Lessee shall continue to perform the Work in accordance with the requirements set forth herein as well as with the terms and conditions of the MOA The Port Authority shall have no further responsibilities to the Lessee in connection with the payment by the TSA of Reimbursement Amounts to the Lessee, if any, or otherwise.
21
(g) The foregoing provisions with respect to submissions by the Port Authority to the TSA shall extend and apply only to Invoices submitted to the Port Authority by the Lessee prior to any expiration or termination of the Terminal C Lease.
19. In addition to and without limiting any other right or remedy of the Port Authority or of TSA under this Supplemental Agreement, the Terminal C Lease, the MOA or otherwise, the Port Authority shall have the right by its agents, employees and representatives to audit and inspect during regular business hours after the submission of each Invoice called for in Paragraph 18 hereof, the books and records and other data of the Lessee relating to the Cost of the Work, as aforesaid, or any portion thereof, and any and all invoices covering or relating to the Work or any portion thereof and the actual, original cancelled checks of the Lessee, or microfiche copies (front and back) of said cancelled checks as supplied to the Lessee by the drawee bank(s) covering the Work or any portion thereof or any invoice or invoices with respect thereto; it being specifically understood that the Port Authority shall not be bound by any prior audit or inspection conducted by it or the TSA. The Lessee agrees to keep such books, records and other data within the Port of New York District, or, on the condition that the Lessee shall pay to the Port Authority all travel costs and expenses as determined by the Port Authority for the Port Authority auditors and other representatives in connection with any audit at locations outside the Port of New York District, the Lessee may maintain said records and books and make them available to the Port Authority at the Lessee’s principal office, which currently is located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Department HQS VP Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000. The Lessee shall not be required to maintain any such books, records and other data for more than seven (7) years after it has delivered the Invoice called for under subparagraph (c) above; unless they are material to litigation initiated within that time, in which event they shall be preserved until the final determination of the controversy.
20. If the Lessee has included in any portion of the Cost of the Work any item as having been incurred, but which in the opinion of the Port Authority, which opinion shall not be exercised in a capricious or arbitrary manner, was not so incurred, or which in the opinion of the Port Authority, which opinion shall not be exercised in a capricious or arbitrary manner, if so incurred is not an item properly chargeable to such element of cost under sound accounting practice or to the Cost of the Work, or does not represent an appropriate division of the costs of a particular contract which are required to be designated according to time of performance or delivery, and the parties have been unable to resolve their differences within ninety (90) days after Port Authority gave its notice objecting to the same, the Port Authority's decision as to the nature of the item of construction cost shall be final. The Port Authority hereby agrees that it shall not act in an arbitrary or capricious manner when rendering its final decision with respect to such unresolved differences.
21. (a) In the event that a Port Authority audit, or an audit by the TSA or any agency of the Government of the United States of America, shall disclose that amounts paid by the Port Authority exceed the Cost of the Work, or are otherwise improper or not in accord with the MOA or this Supplemental Agreement, based upon certificates or otherwise, then, upon ten (10) days demand, the Lessee shall immediately pay to the Port Authority an amount equal to the excess amount paid by the Port Authority; and from and after the date of such payment to the Port Authority the Reimbursement Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such payment. The foregoing shall not be or be deemed to be any limitation, impairment or waiver of any other right or remedy of the Port Authority under this Supplemental Agreement, the Terminal C Lease, the MOA or otherwise.
22
(b) In the event that a Port Authority audit, or an audit by the TSA or any agency of the Government of the United States of America, shall disclose that the Lessee has expended in the Cost of the Work under Paragraph 16 hereof amounts which total less than the amounts that the Lessee has been paid hereunder, then, upon demand of the Port Authority, the Lessee shall immediately pay to the Port Authority an amount equal to the difference between the amounts expended by the Lessee as disclosed by the Port Authority audit, or an audit by the TSA or any agency of the Government of the United States, as the case may be, and the amount previously paid hereunder to the Lessee, less any such amount, or portion thereof, which the Lessee shall have already repaid to the Port Authority, and effective from and after such date of repayment the Project Reimbursement Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such repayment.
22. It is hereby understood and agreed that nothing herein shall or shall be deemed to be for the benefit of any contractor of the Lessee, or any other person or entity not a signatory to this Supplemental Agreement.
23. No Commissioner, director, officer, agent or employee of either party shall be charged personally or be held contractually liable by or to the other party under any term or provision of this Supplemental Agreement or because of any breach thereof or because of its or their execution or attempted execution.

The said policy or policies of insurance shall not be limited to the obligations of the Lessee and of its contractors pursuant to Paragraph 6 of this Supplemental Agreement but shall cover all claims and demands, just or unjust, of third parties (including employees, officers and agents of the Port Authority) arising or alleged to arise out of or in connection with the performance of the Work or based upon any of the risks assumed by the Lessee in this Supplemental Agreement or any breach of this Supplemental Agreement by the Lessee and for the defense of all such claims and demands.
23

Each such copy or certificate shall contain a valid provision or endorsement that the policy may not be cancelled or terminated, or changed or modified as it applies to the Port Authority, without giving thirty (30) days written advance notice thereof to the Port Authority. Each such copy or certificate shall contain an additional endorsement providing that the insurance carrier shall not, without obtaining express advance permission from the General Counsel of the Port Authority, raise any defense involving in any way the jurisdiction of the tribunal over the person of the Port Authority, the immunity of the Port Authority, its Commissioners, officers, agents or employees, the governmental nature of the Port Authority or the provisions of any statutes respecting suits against the Port Authority. The aforesaid insurance shall be written by a company or companies approved by the Port Authority, the Port Authority agreeing not to withhold its approval unreasonably. If at any time any of the insurance policies shall be or become unsatisfactory to the Port Authority as to form or substance or if any of the carriers issuing such policies shall be or become unsatisfactory to the Port Authority, the Lessee shall promptly obtain a new and satisfactory policy in replacement, the Port Authority agreeing not to act unreasonably hereunder.
25. Without limiting any term or provision hereof, the Lessee hereby acknowledges that portions of Terminal C upon which the Work is to be performed may involve active roadway areas and/or operations areas at the Airport, and, accordingly the Lessee in its performance of the Work shall at all times use its best efforts to complete the Work as quickly as possible and, further, shall use its best efforts and take all necessary precautions, including without limitation, compliance with all requirements, if any, of the applicable governmental authorities and all requirements of the Port Authority, to ensure the safety of operations on said areas to protect all persons and property at the Airport and to ensure that the Lessee and its contractors shall not disrupt or interfere with normal Airport operations.

(c) In the event any Hazardous Substance is discovered in the performance of the Work, the Lessee in reporting such Hazardous Substance shall direct such report to the attention of such individual at the subject governmental authority as the General Manager of the Airport shall require in order to assure consistency in the environmental management of the Airport, provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing in no event shall the Lessee be required by this subparagraph (c) to violate any Environmental Requirement.
(d) Promptly upon final disposition of any Hazardous Substance in the performance of the Work, the Lessee shall submit to the Port Authority a "Certification of Final Disposal" stating the type and amount of material disposed, the method of disposal and the owner and location of the disposal facility.

In the performance of the Work the Lessee shall not employ any contractor nor shall the Lessee or any of its contractors employ any persons or use or have any equipment or materials or allow any condition to exist if any such shall or, in the opinion of the Port Authority, may cause or be conducive to any labor troubles at the Airport which interfere, or in the opinion of the Port Authority are likely to interfere with the operations of others at the Airport or with the progress of other construction work thereat. The determinations of the Port Authority shall be conclusive to the Lessee. Upon notice from the Port Authority, the Lessee shall immediately remove such contractor or withdraw or cause its contractors to withdraw from the Airport, the persons, equipment or materials specified in the notice and replace them with unobjectionable contractors, persons, equipment and materials and the Lessee shall or shall cause its contractor to immediately rectify any condition specified in the notice.

SCHEDULE E
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION-EQUAL OPPORTUNITY---MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISES ---WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES REQUIREMENTS
Part I.
|
Affirmative Action Guidelines - Equal Employment Opportunity
|
I. As a matter of policy the Port Authority hereby requires the Lessee and the Lessee shall require the Contractor, as hereinafter defined, to comply with the provisions set forth hereinafter in this Schedule E and in Paragraph 8 of the attached Agreement (herein called the "Agreement") between the Port Authority and Continental Airlines, Inc. (herein and in the Lease called the "Lessee"). The provisions set forth in this Part I are similar to the conditions for bidding on federal government contract adopted by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance and effective May 8, 1978.
The Lessee as well as each bidder, contractor and subcontractor of the Lessee and each subcontractor of a contractor at any tier of construction (herein collectively referred to as "the Contractor") must fully comply with the following conditions set forth herein as to each construction trade to be used on the construction work or any portion thereof (said conditions being herein called "Bid Conditions"). The Lessee hereby commits itself to the goals for minority and female utilization set forth below and all other requirements, terms and conditions of the Bid Conditions. The Lessee shall likewise require the Contractor to commit itself to the said goals for minority and female utilization set forth below and all other requirements, terms and conditions of the Bid Conditions by submitting a properly signed bid.
II. The Lessee and the Contractor shall each appoint an executive of its company to assume the responsibility for the implementation of the requirements, terms and conditions of the following Bid Conditions:
(a) The goals for minority and female participation expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work are as follows:
(1)
|
Minority participation
|
|
Minority, except laborers
|
30%
|
|
Minority, laborers
|
40%
|
|
(2)
|
Female participation
|
|
Female, except laborers
|
6.9%
|
|
Female, laborers
|
6.9%
|
1
These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work performed in and for the Premises.
The Contractor's specific affirmative action obligations required herein of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade, and the Contractor shall make good faith efforts to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from contractor to contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of the contract. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.
(b) The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Lessee and the Lessee shall provide written notification to the Manager of the Office of Business and Job Opportunity of the Port Authority within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work. The notification shall list the name, address and telephone number of the subcontractor; employer identification number; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical area in which the subcontract is to be performed.
(c) As used in these specifications:
(1) "Employer identification number" means the Federal Social Security number used on the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form 941:
(2) "Minority" includes:
(i) Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African racial groups not of Hispanic origin);
(ii) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban, Central or South American culture or origin, regardless of race);
(iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and
(iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community identification).
2
(d) Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the construction work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 those provisions which include the applicable goals for minority and female participation.
(e) The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in subparagraphs (1) through (16) of Paragraph (h) hereof. The goals set forth above are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in the premises. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress toward its goals in each craft during the period specified.
(f) Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's obligations hereunder.
(g) In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training subject to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.
(h) The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity ("EEO").
The evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with these provisions shall be based upon its good faith efforts to achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following:
(1) Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor's employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, will assign two or more women to each phase of the construction project. The Contractor, shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other supervisory personnel at the premises are aware of and carry out the Contractor's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at the premises.
(2) Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations' responses.
3
(3) Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone number of each minority and female off-the-street applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a recruitment source or community organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by union or, if referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken.
(4) Provide immediate written notification to the Lessee when the union or unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet its obligations.
(5) Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and training programs relevant to the Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under subparagraph (2) above.
(6) Disseminate the Contractor's EEO Policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the Contractor's newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the Contractor's EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed.
(7) Review, at least every six months the Contractor's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations hereunder with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other employment decision including specific review of these items with on-premises supervisory personnel such as Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at the premises. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter.
(8) Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the Contractor's EEO policy with other Contractors and Subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business.
4
(9) Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female and community organizations, to schools with minority and female students and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations and to State-certified minority referral agencies serving the Contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process.
(10) Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the premises and in areas of a Contractor's workforce.
(11) Tests and other selecting requirements shall comply with 41 CFR Part 60-3.
(12) Conduct, at least every six months, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.
(13) Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and other personnel practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations hereunder are being carried out.
(14) Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes.
(15) Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and other business associations.
(16) Conduct a review, at least every six months, of all supervisors' adherence to and performance under the Contractors' EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.
5
(i) Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (subparagraphs (1)-(16) of Paragraph (h) above). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under Paragraph (h) hereof provided that: the Contractor actively participates in the group, makes good faith efforts to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes good faith efforts to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor's non-compliance.
(j) A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation hereof if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation hereof if a specific minority group of women is underutilized).
(k) The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
(l) The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
(m) The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of this clause including suspension, termination and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered by the Lessee. Any Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation hereof.
(n) The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations hereunder shall implement specific affirmative actions steps, at lease as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph (h) hereof so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of these provisions, the Lessee shall proceed accordingly.
(o) The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g. mechanical apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and location at which the work is performed.

LETTER OF INTENT
THE PORT AUTHORITY OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY
This Letter of Intent (LOl) sets forth the intention of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), effective this date, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4-1923 of title 49. United States Code, as amended; Division E. Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2008; Public Low 110-161. the Consolidated Appropriations Act. 2008; and Memoranda of Agreement (MOAs) to which this LOI is appended, to obligate from budget authority to reimburse The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) for the United States' share of allowable costs at the Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx International Airport (JFK). LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), collectively the PANYNJ Airports, for the airport security improvement project (Project) as summarized below;
The MOAs will establish the efforts for providing the necessary design, construction management, and construction of the PANYNJ Airports—JFK. LGA. and EWR—to develop in-line baggage system solutions that will enable TSA to install and operate explosives detection systems associated with in-line baggage screening systems at those airports.
The maximum United States obligation pursuant to this LOl for the Project summarized above shall be in an amount not-to-exceed 90 percent of the total Project costs of $444,444,444.00 to a total Federal share of up to $400,000,000.00. After funds have been appropriated and obligated. TSA shall issue funds to reimburse the PANYNJ from current and Fiscal Year 2009 budget authority, according to the following schedule:
Fiscal Year (FY)
|
Federal Funds
|
FY 2008
|
$200 million (current budget authority)
|
FY 2009
|
$200 million (future budget authority)
|
Total:
|
$400 million
|
If the Congressional appropriation and allocation is less than $200,000,000 in FY 2009 for TSA baggage screening projects for the PANYNJ Airports, then the FY 2009 funding increment for the Project may be reduced accordingly.
The announcement of this intention shall not be deemed an obligation of the United States Government under Section 1501 of title 31. United States Code, and the LOl is not deemed to be an administrative commitment of financing. An obligation or administrative commitment may be made only as amounts are provided in authorization and appropriation laws.
HSTS04-08-H-CT1235
Memorandum of Agreement of EWR
Appendix A
TSA may, from time to time, following consultation with the PANYNJ. amend this LOI and the MOAs to adjust the payment schedule, and such adjustments may be made by TSA when occasioned by changes in the actual allowable costs of the Project, in the actual time required to complete the Project, in actual or estimated future obligating authority, or otherwise, when determined at the discretion of the Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary of the TSA to be in the best interests of the United States.
TSA will give full consideration to the aggregate amount of future obligations and the payments scheduled under all outstanding XXXx in formulating its annual budget requests. A statutory restriction on total obligating authority in a future fiscal year, however, may necessitate a reduction in funds to be reimbursed for that year.
The LOI is conditioned upon the PANYNJ's compliance with the MOAs to which this LOI is appended and of which it is made a part. Failure to comply with such requirements may lead to revocation of this LOI and termination of the MOAs in accordance with the terms of the MOAs.

2.5.2. Test Readiness Report (TRR)
This pre-ISAT activity is conducted by TSA Site Lead in coordination with the Airport Project Team (typically the BHS Contractor.) The purpose of this testing activity is to assure TSA of site readiness for ISAT and is a precursor for TSA authorization for TSA Test Lead to deploy. The Project Manager Team will be provided TRR data sheets by the TSA Site Lead. BHS/CBIS configuration and operation shall be in final form intended for bag screening operations. Unless mutually agreed to, changes/improvements to BHS/CBIS between TRR and ISAT are not authorized. The Project Manager Team must address security and efficiency defects found during TRR and be prepared to implement mutually agreed upon corrective actions prior to ISAT.
Required input from the Project Team will include:
Functional Testing Documentation: Testing authentication must be clearly reported and show every test with bag ID and declared status on printed EDS FDRs (Field Data Reports) and resulting bag destination. Ledger forms should show test date, type of test, identification of bag destination location, and ID number of the bags arriving at that location. Sample ledger forms will be provided in the SSTP.
|
■
|
These reports should be organized and indexed in a loose-leaf binder(s)
|
|
■
|
Each test shall conclude with an indication of successfully passing the required criteria of BHS specification and testing criteria and if conflict or failure exists, then so indicate with an explanation.
|
|
■
|
Presentation of completed testing and TRR required documentation to TSA Site Lead not less than 7 business days prior to anticipated Pre-ISAT date is required.
|

HSTS04-08-H-CT1235
Memorandum of Agreement of EWR
Appendix D
Sort and Rate Test Observation: Sufficient numbers of test bags (no less than 100 test bags per EDS) will be utilized to "stress" the BHS/CBIS as would occur during peak operating times. Test bag set profile should be similar to Battelle profile.
|
■
|
A real-time observation by TSA Site Lead of a global BHS/CBIS Sort and Rate Test using clear and suspect bags is required.
|
|
■
|
All EDS equipment must be operational.
|
|
■
|
All baggage entry points must be utilized.
|
|
■
|
After a successful TRR, TSA Deployment Lead approves start of ISAT testing and TSA Testing Contractor Team normally arrives at airport within 3 business days.
|
2.5.3. Logistical Support Needs: The Project Manager shall identify any logistical or support needs that will impact TRR and ISAT testing, to include:
|
■
|
any process needed to obtain sufficient baggage tags should the system use IATA baggage tracking mechanisms;
|
|
■
|
any process needed to obtain airport badges/access for TSA Testing Contractor's personnel;
|
|
■
|
availability of baggage handling support for testing activities; and
|
|
■
|
availability of support for delivery and secure storage of the TSA Testing Contractor's test bags for ISAT (100 bags per EDS.)
|
2.5.4. ISAT Testing: The TSA's Testing Contractor will meet with the Project Manager Team at least 30 days prior to testing to coordinate the conduct of ISAT testing. The TSA Test Lead and the Project Manager Team will finalize details relating to the scheduling and duration of the testing. (Generally allow 1.5 days per EDS line and 1.5 days per each system Sort Testing and Rate Testing.)
2.5.5. Test Results and Reports
In the event of a Defects Found or Failed result during TRR or ISAT testing, the Project Manager Team shall report corrective actions to be applied and the timeline associated with said corrections. If constructed system fails testing, TSA will work with the Project Manager Team to identify corrective solutions. TSA is not obligated to accept or operate a baggage screening system that does not meet the minimum test standards.
2.5.6. Post ISAT and Run-in Activities: The TSA Site lead will conduct 30-day operational run-in observations of the system following successful ISAT testing.
The airport/airline/authority shall provide a written response outlining corrective actions that will be taken due to outstanding deficiencies, issues, and action items identified in the Test Report within three (3) months.
It is essential for the continued secure and efficient operation of the CBIS that changes to the system are evaluated, reviewed and approved before they are implemented. Changes made to the system subsequent to ISAT should be coordinated and approved in advance with TSA Deployment Team. Failure to do so will lead to TSA decertification of the baggage screening system. In some cases the TSA Testing Contractor will need to evaluate proposed changes to determine if they constitute modifications sufficient to warrant the development of a new SSTP and re-testing.
The following procedure is to be followed for all changes to CBIS systems other than those required for normal routine and periodic maintenance/repairs to the system. The airport/airline/authority responsible for the system shall assemble a package of information for submittal to TSA Office of Security Technology which includes the fallowing minimum information.
