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 unauthorized <br />alien. Contractor agrees that he/she/it shall enroll in and verify the work eligibility status of all of <br />Contractor’s newly hired employees through the E-Verify Program as defined by <br />I.C. 22-5-1.7-3. Contractor’s documentation of enrollment and participation in the E-Verify <br />Program is included and attached as part of this bid/quote; and <br /> <br />5. Contractor shall require his/her/its subcontractors performing work under this public <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 /> <br />6. Persons, partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint venturers awarded a contract by <br />the City of South Bend through its agencies, boards, or commissions shall not discriminate against <br />any employee or applicant for employment in the performance of a City contract with respect to <br />hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, or any matter directly or indirectly <br />related to employment because of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, age, gender <br />expression, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability that does not affect that person's ability <br />to perform the work. <br /> <br />In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment, materials, or <br />any combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works contracts awarded <br />under public bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are not required by law, the City, <br />its agencies, boards, or commissions may consider the Contractor’s good faith efforts to obtain <br />participation by those Contractors certified by the State of Indiana as a Minority Business <br />(“MBE”) or as a Women’s Business Enterprise (“WBE”) as a factor in determining the lowest, <br />responsible, responsive bidder. <br /> <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) year <br />from the date of such determination, and such determination may also be grounds for terminating <br />the contact for which the discriminatory practice or noncompliance pertains. <br /> <br />7. The undersigned contractor agrees that the following nondiscrimination commitment shall <br />be made a part of any contract which it may henceforth enter into with the City of South Bend, <br />Indiana or any of its agencies, boards or commissions.
