<br />4. Contractor does not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien, nor retain
<br />any employee or contract with a person that the Contractor subsequently learns is an
<br />unauthorized alien. Contractor agrees that he/she/it shall enroll in and verify the work eligibility

<br />contract to certify that the subcontractors do not knowingly employ or contract with an
<br />unauthorized alien, nor retain any employee or contract with a person that the subcontractor
<br />subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien, and that the subcontractor has enrolled in and is
<br />participating in the E-Verify Program. The Contractor agrees to maintain this certification
<br />throughout the term of the contract with the City of South Bend, and understands that the City
<br />may terminate the contract for default if the Contractor fails to cure a breach of this provision no
<br />later than thirty (30) days after being notified by the City.
<br />6. Persons, partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint venturer; awarded a contract by
<br />the City of South Bend through its agencies, boards, or commissions shall not discriminate
<br />against any employee or applicant for employment in the performance of a City contract with
<br />respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, or any matter directly or
<br />indirectly related to employment because of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, ancestry,
<br />age, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability that does not affect that
<br />person's ability to perform the work.
<br />In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment, materials,
<br />or any combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works contracts
<br />awarded under public bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are not required by
<br />law, the City, its agencies, boards, or commissions may consider the Contractor's good faith
<br />efforts to obtain participation by those Contractors certified by the State of Indiana as a Minority
<br />Business ("MBE") or as a Women's Business Enterprise ("WBE") as a factor in determining
<br />the lowest, responsible, responsive bidder.
<br />In no event shall persons or entities seeking the award of a City contract be required to award a
<br />subcontract to an MBE/WBE; however, it may not unlawfully discriminate against said
<br />WBE/MBE. A finding of a discriminatory practice by the City's MBE/WBE Utilization Board
<br />shall prohibit that person or entity from being awarded a City contract for a period of one (1)
<br />year from the date of such determination, and such determination may also be grounds for
<br />terminating the contact for which the discriminatory practice or noncompliance pertains.
<br />7. The undersigned contractor agrees that the following nondiscrimination commitment
<br />shall be made a part of any contract which it may henceforth enter into with the City of South
<br />Bend, Indiana or any of its agencies, boards or commissions.
