Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of 2 the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each 3 subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice 4 which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is 5 set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted. 6 7 3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan 8 approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or 9 through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area 10 (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades 11 which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate 12 their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. 13 Each Contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually 14 required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a good 15 faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has 16 employees. The overall good faith performance by other Contractors or 17 subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered 18 Contractor’s or subcontractor’s failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan 19 goals and timetables. 20 21 4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in 22 paragraphs 7a through 7p of this Special Provision. The goals set forth in the 23 solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total 24 hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor 25 should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has 26 employees in the covered area. Covered construction contractors performing 27 construction work in geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or federally 28 assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established 29 for the geographical area where the work is being performed. The Contractor is 30 expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft 31 during the period specified. 32 33 5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a 34 union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either 35 minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor’s obligations under these 36 specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant 37 thereto. 38 39 6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted 40 in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the 41 Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a 42 commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, 43 subject to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained 44 pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. 45 46 7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment 47 opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor’s compliance with these specifications 48 shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The 49 Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action 50 steps at least as extensive as the following: 51
