To the extent applicable and unless exempt or preempted by other law, Licensee agrees to comply fully with and be bound by all of the provisions of the Health Care Accountability Ordinance ("HCAO"), as set forth in San Francisco Administrative Code Chapter 12Q ("Chapter 12Q"), including the implementing regulations, as the same may be amended or updated from time to time. The provisions of Chapter 12Q are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this License as though fully set forth herein. The text of the HCAO is currently available on the web at httn://www.sfeov.orL,/olse/hcao. Capitalized terms used in this Section and not defined in this License shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Chapter 12Q. (a) For each Covered Employee Licensee shall provide the applicable health benefit set forth in Section 12Q.3 of the HCAO. If Licensee chooses to offer the health plan option, such health plan shall meet the minimum standards set forth by the San Francisco Health Commission. (b) Notwithstanding the above, if Licensee meets the requirements of a "small business" as described in Section 12Q.3(d) of the HCAO, it shall have no obligation to comply with subsection (a) above. (c) Licensee's failure to comply with any applicable requirements of the HCAO shall constitute a material breach by Licensee of this License and City's remedies shall be those set forth in the HCAO. If, within thirty (30) days after receiving City's written notice of a breach of this License for violating the HCAO, Licensee fails to cure such breach or, if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such 30 -day period, Licensee fails to commence efforts to cure within such period, or thereafter fails to diligently pursue such cure to completion, City shall have the remedies set forth in Section 12Q.5(f)(1-5). Each of these remedies shall be exercisable individually or in combination with any other rights or remedies available to City. (d) Any Contract or Subcontract regarding services to be performed on the License Area entered into by Licensee shall require the Contractors and Subcontractors, as applicable, to comply with the requirements of the HCAO and shall contain contractual obligations substantially the same as those set forth in this Section. Licensee shall notify the Purchasing Department when it enters into such a Contract or Subcontract and shall certify to the Purchasing Department that it has notified the Contractor or Subcontractor of the obligations under the HCAO and has imposed the requirements of the HCAO on the Contractor or Subcontractor through written agreement with such Contractor or Subcontractor. Licensee shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the HCAO by each Contractor and Subcontractor performing services on the License Area. If any Contractor or Subcontractor fails to comply, City may pursue the remedies set forth in this Section against Licensee based on the Contractor's or Subcontractor's failure to comply, provided that the Contracting Department has first provided Licensee with notice and an opportunity to cure the violation. (e) Licensee shall not discharge, reprimand, penalize, reduce the compensation of, or otherwise discriminate against, any employee for notifying City of any issue relating to the HCAO, for opposing any practice proscribed by the HCAO, for participating in any proceedings related to the HCAO, or for seeking to assert or enforce any rights under the HCAO by any lawful means. 17 Rev May 2015 Page 17 of 45 ATTY/AGR/2017.001/SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION/CARSON PERMIT REV: 01-06-17 VR
