In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment, materials, or any combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works contracts awarded under public bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are not required by law, the City, its agencies, boards, or commissions will consider the Contractor's good faith efforts to obtain participation by those subcontractors certified by the State of Indiana as a Minority Business ("MBE") or as a Women's Business Enterprise ("WBE") as a factor in determining the lowest, responsible, responsive bidder.

Breach of this provision may be regarded as material breach of contract. I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works project, understand my statutory obligations to the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States (I.C. 5-16-8-1). I hereby certify that I and all subcontractors employed by me for this project will use steel products or foundry products made in the United States on this project if awarded. I understand I have an affirmative duty to notify the City in my bid that my proposal does not include the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States. I understand it is my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a justification to the City, subject to review and approval, why the cost of United States made steel or foundry products is unreasonable. Prior to award and upon submission of bid which does not use steel products or foundry products made in the United States, the City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination if the price of United States made steel or foundry is unreasonable.

The corporation is committed to this policy by our status as a federally assisted government contractor. We are far more strongly bound to the policy by the fact that adherence to the principles involved is the only acceptable American way of life. Therefore, it is the policy of this corporation to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, housing status, or veterans' status. Such action shall include: employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship, pre - apprenticeship, and/or on-the-job training. The successful achievement of a nondiscriminatory employment program requires a maximum of cooperation between management and employees. In fulfilling its' part in this cooperative effort, management is obliged to lead the way by establishing and implementing affirmative procedures and practices which will ensure our objective, namely equitable employment opportunity for all. (Minority and female employees are encouraged to participate in all company activities and refer applicants.) I have designated Margaret Garner to direct the establishment of and to monitor the implementation of personnel procedures to guide our affirmative action program. This official is charged with designing and implementing audit and reporting systems that will keep management informed on a regular basis of the status of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action. She can be reached at (317)616-4937. Supervision has been made to understand that their work performance is being evaluated based on their equal employment opportunity efforts and results, as well as other criteria. It shall be a responsibility of the supervision to take actions to prevent harassment of employees placed through affirmative action efforts. We shall comply with the Civic Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Federal Highway Act of 1968, the Executive Order #11246 and #11375, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, the Indiana Civil Rights Act and other applicable Federal and State Laws and regulations pertaining to equality of Opportunities and Affirmative Action policies. We have developed an Affirmative Action Program for Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities. /�;,ZkL) - CJ Potts, Chief Operating Officer Margaret Garner, HR Area Partner/EEO Officer January 2023 rdinuute of QualtruUtijarn Lffit)]ED$Y INDIANAPOLIS, IN October 20, 2022 We] MILESTONE CONTRACTORS NORTH, INC.
