<br />EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
<br />TT must comply with, and incorporate or cause to be incorporated into any contract for construction work, or modification thereof, the Equal Employment Opportunity
<br />provisions as follows:
<br />During the performance of this contract, TT agrees as follows:
<br />TT will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. TT
<br />will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex,
<br />sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
<br />Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection
<br />for training, including apprenticeship. TT agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth
<br />the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
<br />1. TT will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of TT, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for
<br />employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
<br />2. TT will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired
<br />about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in
<br />which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions
<br />discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure
<br />is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the
<br />employer, or is consistent with TT's legal duty to furnish information.
<br />3. TT will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to
<br />be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of TT's commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous
<br />places available to employees and applicants for employment.
<br />4. TT will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of
<br />Labor.
<br />5. TT will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of
<br />Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of
<br />investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
<br />6. In the event of TT's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may
<br />be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and TT may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction
<br />contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies
<br />invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by
<br />law.
<br />7. TT will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (1) and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or
<br />purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September
<br />24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. TT will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order
<br />as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance.
<br />Provided, however, that in the event a TT becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the
<br />administering agency, TT may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
