Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in 3 fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through 7p). The efforts 4 of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other 5 similar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted 6 as fulfilling any one or more of the obligations under 7a through 7p of this Special 7 Provision provided that the Contractor actively participates in the group, makes every 8 effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities 9 and women in the industry, ensure that the concrete benefits of the program are 10 reflected in the Contractor’s minority and female work-force participation, makes a 11 good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access 12 to documentation which demonstrate the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of 13 the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor’s and failure of 14 such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor’s 15 noncompliance. 16 17 9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been 18 established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment 19 opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and 20 female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor 21 may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in 22 substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has 23 achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the 24 Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized). 25 26 10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards 27 to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual 28 orientation, gender identity, or national origin. 29 30 11. The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred 31 from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246. 32 33 12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these 34 specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspensions, 35 terminations and cancellations of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered 36 pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, 37 by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any Contractor who fails to 38 carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and 39 Executive Order 11246, as amended. 40 41 13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement 42 specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed 43 in paragraph 7 of this Special Provision, so as to achieve maximum results from its 44 efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with 45 the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these 46 specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8. 47 48 14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related 49 activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports 50 relating to the provisions hereof as may be required by the government and to keep 51 records. Records shall at least include, for each employee, their name, address, 52 telephone numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee
