(v) The Consultant will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of
<br />September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
<br />(vi) The Consultant will furnish all information and reports required by
<br />Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the
<br />Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts
<br />by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain
<br />compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
<br />(vii) In the event of the Consultant's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination
<br />clauses of this Agreement or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this Agreement
<br />may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the Consultant may be
<br />declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts
<br />in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and
<br />such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order

<br />purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued
<br />pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions
<br />will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The Consultant will take such action with
<br />respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means
<br />of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
<br />Provided, however, that in the event the Consultant becomes involved in, or is threatened with,

<br />opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such
<br />government which does not participate in work on or under the Agreement.
<br />The City agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the
<br />Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of the Consultant and subcontractors with the
<br />equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor,
<br />that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information as they
<br />may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the
<br />administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing
<br />compliance.
<br />The City further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification
<br />subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who
<br />has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction
