THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NOT COMMINGLE SERVICE TAX FUNDS WITH FUNDS FROM OTHER SOURCES, and to the extent that the Contractor conducts any business operations separate and apart from the Services hereunder using, for example, personnel, equipment, supplies or facilities also used in connection with this Agreement, then the Contractor shall maintain and make similarly available to the City detailed records supporting the Contractor's allocation to this Agreement of the costs and expenses attributable to any such shared usages.
 
The Contractor shall provide an annual audited financial statement (a "Third Party Audit") to the Department and the SSAC within 120 calendar days after the end of the calendar year, and the system of accounting shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices, consistently applied throughout.

Any failure to comply with the audit requirements set forth in Exhibit 8 ofthe Agreement shall constitute an event of default under the Agreement.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2-92-610 and regulations promulgated under it:
  1. If Contractor has 25 or more full-time employees, and
  2. If at any time during the performance of this Agreement, Contractor and/or any Subcontractor or any other entity that provides any portion of the Services (collectively "Performing Parties") uses 25 or more full-time security guards, or any number of other full-time Covered Employees, then
  3. Contractor must pay its Covered Employees, and must assure that all other Performing Parties pay their Covered Employees, not less than the minimum hourly rate as determined in accordance with this provision (the "Base Wage") for all Services performed under this Agreement.
 
(b)      Contractor's obligation to pay, and to assure payment of, the Base Wage will

  1. As of July 1, 2013, the Base Wage is $11.78, and each July 1 thereafter, the Base Wage will be adjusted, using the most recent federal poverty guidelines for a family of four as published annually by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to constitute the following: the poverty guidelines for a family of four divided by 2000 hours or the current base wage, whichever is higher. At all times during the term of this Agreement, Contractor and all other Performing Parties must pay the Base Wage (as adjusted in accordance with the above). If the payment of prevailing wages is required for Services done under this Agreement, and the prevailing wages for Covered Employees are higher than the Base Wage, then Contractor and all other Performing Parties must pay the prevailing wage rates.

The City may independently audit Contractor and/or Subcontractors to verify compliance with this section. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section will be an event of default under this Agreement, and further, failure to comply may result in ineligibility for any award of a City contract or subcontract for up to 3 years.

  1. Environmental Warranties and Representations

Such breach and default entitles the City to all remedies under the Agreement, at law or in equity.
 
This section does not limit Contractor's and its subcontractors' duty to comply with all applicable federal, state, county and municipal laws, statutes, ordinances and executive orders, in effect now or later, and whether or not they appear in this Agreement.

RIDER TO CONTRACTOR'S PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BOND
 
 
This Rider supplements Contractor's Performance and Payment Bond ("Bond") on that certain
contract with the City of Chicago ("City") bearing Contract No.      and Specification No.      
("Contract"). Surety acknowledges that the Contract requires Contractor to obtain from each of its subcontractors consent to a collateral assignment of their contracts with Contractor to the City. The Contract further grants the City the right, upon Contractor's default for failure to comply with Chapter 4-36 of the Municipal Code of the City, and at the City's sole option, to take over and complete the work to be performed by Contractor through the City's assumption of some or all of Contractor's subcontracts. If the City, in its sole discretion, exercises this right, then Surety waives any rights it may have to cure Contractor's default by performing the work itself or through others and remains bound by its other obligations under the Bond.

    1. Audit scope, objectives, and purposes.
    2. Deadlines for the work to be performed.
    3. Audit fees.
    4. Report format, including providing a PDF digital version of the final audit.
