The Licensee is not a tenant. This Agreement creates a temporary license only. The Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the Licensee shall not hold or claim at any time an interest or estate of any kind whatsoever in the Licensed Space by virtue of this Agreement or by virtue of the Licensee's use of the Licensed Space. In addition, the City reserves the right to provide programming events in the Park common areas under existing City programs, including but not limited to programming or events managed by the Department of Cultural Affairs. The execution of this Agreement does not give the Licensee any other right with respect to the Licensed Space. Any rights not expressly granted to the Licensee through this Agreement are reserved exclusively to City. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, execution of this Agreement docs not obligate the City to undertake any additional duties or services.
Licensee accepts the License from the City and assumes the duties of Licensee provided in this Agreement. The license granted hereunder will terminate upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. If Licensee complies with the terms of this Agreement, Licensee will have the right of ingress to and egress from the Licensed Space, for Licensee, its officers, employees, agents. Subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, and invitees, subject, however, to all statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations from time to time enacted or established by the City or any other governmental agency or authority having jurisdiction.

interferes or might interfere with the reasonable use by others of Common Areas or Licensed Space of other Licensees;
hinders or might hinder the Park security, police, fire-fighting or other emergency personnel in the discharge of their duties;
would, or would be likely to, constitute a hazardous condition in the Park;
would, or would be likely to, increase the premiums for insurance policies maintained by the City, unless the operations are not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement and Licensee pays the increase in insurance premiums occasioned by the operations; or
would involve any illegal purposes.
11
4.2 No Sublicenses, Assignments or Other Uses.
Licensee understands and agrees that the Licensed Spaces were determined by the City so that the Concession operated by Licensee is an element of an overall concession program. Accordingly, Licensee acknowledges that the principal purpose of this Agreement is to provide Licensee a License to operate its Concession, without right of sublicense or assignment, from the Licensed Space and that any attempted sublicense, assignment or other use of. the Licensed Space without the written consent of the City in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is absolutely prohibited and is an Event of Default. Any reference to "sublicensee" in this Agreement must not be interpreted to allow sublicensing of any rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Commissioner.
4.3 General Requirements for Operation of Concessions.
Licensee has the authority to manage and administer the Concession in the Licensed Space, subject to the rights of the City under the law, in equity, and under this Agreement to direct Licensee in order to ensure that the Park operates in the most effective and efficient way possible and to supervise the Licensee's performance. Licensee covenants to take all commercially reasonable measures to maintain, develop, facilitate and increase the business of the Concession so as to maximize Gross Revenues. Licensee further covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate of Licensee will divert or cause or allow to be diverted any business from the Licensed Space to other locations not at the Park that are operated by Licensee or any Affiliate of Licensee. A material condition of this Agreement is that Licensee must operate the Concession operations subject to and in accordance with the Millennium Park Rules, the Millennium Park Ordinance (Municipal Code of Chicago Section 10-36-140), and the following general requirements:
Unless otherwise approved by the Commissioner in writing, Licensee must conduct business in its Licensed Space only in the Licensee's trade name identified in its response to the RFP.
Unless authorized in writing by the Commissioner, Licensee must not install or operate any coin, card, token or otherwise activated vending machines or devices of any kind or type.
Licensee must conduct its Concession operations in a first-class, businesslike, efficient, courteous, and accommodating manner. The Commissioner has the right to make reasonable objections to the appearance and condition of the Licensed Space if they do not comply with these standards. Licensee must discontinue or remedy any non-compliant practice, appearance or condition within five days following receipt of a written notice by the Commissioner (or immediately upon receipt of such a notice if the Commissioner deems noncompliance hazardous or illegal). Licensee's failure to timely cure the non-compliance as required by the Commissioner would cause the City damages including, among other things, loss of goodwill, that would be difficult or impossible to prove or quantify. Accordingly, if Licensee fails to timely cure non-compliance, then, in addition to all other remedies the City may have at law, in equity or under this Agreement, and beginning on the first day after expiry of the five-day cure period, Licensee must pay the City, as liquidated damages in connection with the loss of good will among visitors to the Park, and not as a penalty, the amount of SI00 for each non-
12
compliant practice, appearance or condition specified in the notice that remains uncured after the cure period.
Licensee must neither commit nor allow any nuisance, noise or waste in the Licensed Space or annoy, disturb or be offensive to others in the Park. Licensee must employ all reasonable means to prevent or eliminate unusual, nauseating or objectionable smoke, gases, vapors or odors from emanating from the Licensed Space. Licensee must employ all reasonable means to eliminate vibrations and to maintain the lowest possible sound level in the operation of the Concession.
Licensee must at all times accept as suitable payment for any sale of Products any of at least three nationally recognized credit cards, such as but not limited to American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover.
Licensee shall at all times during the Term of this Agreement be compliant with the Payment Card Industry ("PCI") Data Security Standard to the extent applicable to the Services and shall be responsible for the security of the payment cardholder data in its possession. Licensee shall provide City such information as the City may reasonably require regarding Licensee's compliance with such PCI requirements, including, at a minimum, an annual certificate of compliance by Licensee with the PCI Data Security Standard. In the event of Licensee's non-compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard and/or in the event of a data breach, Licensee must inform the City immediately, and, at Licensee's expense, must take all curative measures necessary to remedy such non-compliance or data breach.
Licensee must not place or install any racks, stands, or trade fixtures directly on or over the boundaries of its Licensed Space. Licensee must not use any space outside the Licensed Space for sale, storage or any other undertaking, other than in connection with deliveries made in a prompt, timely and efficient manner.
In its capacity as Licensee under this Agreement, and not as an agent of the City, Licensee must manage the Concession operations and the Licensed Space in accordance with this Agreement, in furtherance of which Licensee must, among other things:
use reasonable efforts to remedy problems and issues raised by Park patrons with respect to the operation of the Licensed Space;
answer in writing all written customer complaints within 72 hours after receipt, furnishing a copy of the complaint and the answer to the Commissioner within that period; and,
furnish the Commissioner within 72 hours after their receipt copies of all written notices received by Licensee from any governmental authority or any Subcontractor with respect to any part of the Licensed Space or any Subcontract.
If Licensee fails to timely respond to customer correspondence or governmental notices and furnish the requisite copies to the Commissioner, Licensee acknowledges that the City may suffer loss of goodwill and other harm the value of which is difficult to determine, and thus, in addition to any remedies for the Event of Default, the Commissioner will assess as liquidated damages against Licensee, and not as a penalty: (A) an amount of $100 per day for each day after the initial 72 hours until Licensee responds to the customer complaint or governmental notice and (B) if Licensee fails to provide the requisite copies to the Commissioner, SI 00 per day until the Licensee provides the Commissioner with the copies. Licensee's failure to perform
13
either (A) or (B) For a period of 30 days or more will be grounds for the City declaring an Event of Default pursuant to Article IX, in which event Licensee will have no longer than 10 days to cure the Event of Default.
Hours of Operation.
Licensee must begin conducting its Concession operations in the Licensed Space(s) on the Date of Beneficial Occupancy applicable to that Licensed Space and continue them as outlined in Exhibit 2 (Term Sheet) which may be modified and approved by the Commissioner in writing.
Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, if Licensee fails to operate its Concession from the Licensed Space during all times that Licensee is required to do so under this Agreement and the failure continues for more than three days after the City gives Licensee notice, it is an Event of Default. In addition, Licensee acknowledges that failure to provide Concession services to the public would cause the City substantial damages, a portion of which may be ascertainable but another portion of which, related to loss of goodwill due to the public's inability to obtain the Products, the provision of which is one of the key purposes of this Agreement, might be difficult or impossible to prove or quantify. Accordingly, in addition to other remedies available to the City for an Event of Default, Licensee must pay the City as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) in connection with such loss of goodwill the amount of SI 00 per day, beginning as of the time that the City first notifies Licensee that it is not operating the Concession in accordance with the time requirements of this Agreement. The obligation to make payments of liquidated damages will continue until the earliest of: (i) the time that the Concession Space re-opens for business; (ii) the date that this Agreement expires or is terminated; and (iii) the date that the Commissioner orders Licensee to vacate the Licensed Space.

All employees of Licensee must at all times be clean, courteous, neat in appearance and helpful to the public, whether or not on duty. Licensee's employees are required to wear uniforms in good taste, the color and style of which Licensee selects. Licensee may make the arrangements with its own employees as it considers appropriate regarding the purchase and maintenance of standard uniforms. The City is entitled at any time to direct Licensee to require any of its employees not properly attired to immediately conform to the requirements of this Section or leave the Licensed Space.

In addition to payment for utility service, Licensee must maintain utility lines to the Licensed Space as follows:
17
where the utility lines, including gas, electrical, telephone, hot and cold water, fire sprinkler, gas, and sewer serve both the Licensed Space and other areas of the Park, Licensee is only obligated to maintain those branch lines and facilities that exclusively serve the Licensed Space; and
where such utility lines are entirely for the exclusive service of the Licensed Space, Licensee is obligated to maintain the utility lines from the Licensed Space up to the main entry point of the utility to the Park.

A. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement: the City has the rights set forth below, each of which the City may exercise with notice to Licensee and without liability to Licensee for damage or injury to property, person or business on account of exercising them; the City's exercise of any such rights is not deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement or a disturbance of Licensee's use the Licensed Space; the City's exercise does not give rise to any claim, including for set-off or abatement of Fees; the City's exercise also does not relieve Licensee of any obligation to pay all Fees when due.

As provided in Section 4.1. the City grants Licensee the right to use the Licensed Space identified in Exhibit 1, from the Date of Delivery of the Licensed Space through the remainder of the Term of this Agreement for the operation of the Concession, except as otherwise provided for herein. Exhibit 1 may be amended by agreement of the Licensee and the Commissioner from
20
time to time to reflect changes in Licensed Space, including but not limited to any Additional Space. Licensee must confine all of its Concession operations to its Licensed Space. Any conduct of Concession operations outside of Licensee's Licensed Space without Commissioner's written approval, is an Event of Default.
Concession Space. The Licensed Space includes the Concession Space identified in Exhibit 1. Concession Space is to be used for the sale of Products at retail to the public.
Storage Space. The Licensed Space includes the Storage Space, if any, identified in Exhibit 1. Storage Space is to be used to store inventory and supplies for use in the Concession Space.

If the Commissioner determines that Licensee is using Storage Space for purposes unrelated to the Concession, the Commissioner may unilaterally delete the Storage Space from the Licensed Space. If the Commissioner determines that the size of the Storage Space exceeds the needs of the Licensee, the Commissioner may unilaterally reduce the size of the Storage Space.
Additional Space.
During the Term, the Commissioner may from time to time, at his sole discretion, make Additional Space available for Licensee's Concession operations. In such event, the Commissioner will send written notice to Licensee to advise Licensee of the following:

Nothing in (i) above requires the Commissioner to offer any Additional Space to Licensee or limits or restricts the Commissioner's or the City's right to enter into any Concession agreement with any third party for such space. Additional Space, if any, offered to Licensee is solely for the benefit of the City or Park to enhance Park revenues, and whether or not to offer such Additional Space to Licensee is at the Commissioner's sole discretion. LICENSEE HAS NO
21
RIGHT TO BE OFFERED ANY ADDITIONAL SPACE.

Work Requirements.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF WORK UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
Compliance with Standards. Licensee must comply in its design, construction, use, occupancy and operation of the Licensed Space, al its own cost, with: all federal, State of Illinois, and City laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, including all building, zoning and health codes and all Environmental Laws.

All such supplemental facilities must be designed and installed in accordance with applicable building codes, and must be approved by the Commissioner prior to installation. If at any time
the Licensee's supplemental heating, cooling and exhaust facilities fail to comply with applicable building codes, Licensee must, on notice from the City, cause repairs to be made so that Licensee is in compliance with this requirement.

Inspection of Improvements in Progress. The Department has the right to enter upon the Licensed Space for the purposes of inspecting and recording the Improvements in progress, ensuring that Licensee's construction complies with the Development Plan, and rejecting any such construction that does not so conform
Mechanic's Liens. Licensee must not permit any mechanic's lien for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to it to attach to any portion of the Licensed Space or the Park. Upon making payments to Subcontractors, Licensee must obtain from each Subcontractor a waiver of mechanic's liens against any portion of the Licensed Space or the Park arising out of any Work done by the Subcontractor and each and every of the Subcontractor's materialmen and workmen. If, nonetheless, any such mechanic's lien is filed upon any portion of the Licensed Space, or the Park, Licensee must indemnify, protect, defend and save harmless the City against any loss, liability or expense whatsoever by reason of the mechanic's lien and must promptly and diligently proceed with or defend, at its own expense, the action or proceedings as may be necessary to remove the lien. Licensee must deliver notice to the Commissioner of any such lien or claim within 15 days after Licensee has knowledge of it. Licensee may permit the mechanic's lien to remain undischarged and unsatisfied during the period of the contest and appeal; provided that, upon request by the Commissioner, Licensee must post a bond with the City equal to 150% of the amount of the lien. If the lien is stayed and the stay later expires or if by nonpayment of any lien any portion of the Licensed Space or the Park will be, or is claimed to be, subject to loss or forfeiture, then Licensee must immediately pay and cause to be satisfied and discharged the lien. If Licensee fails to do so, the Commissioner may, in his or her sole discretion, draw on the bond and make such payment and, in such event, the amount paid shall immediately be payable by Licensee to the City. Failure to post a bond when requested by the Commissioner or make the payment due shall be an Event of Default.
23
Damage or Destruction of Improvements.
Insubstantial Damage. If Improvements to the Licensed Space are damaged, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, and there is no Major Damage (as defined below) to the portion of the Park infrastructure served by the damaged Improvements, Licensee must repair the damage to the Improvements as soon as reasonably possible at Licensee's expense.
Major Damage.
"Major Damage" means any damage or destruction that, based on reasonable estimates made by the Department within 60 days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction, in order to be repaired to the condition existing before the damage or destruction
would cost, with respect to the Improvements, in excess of 50% of the replacement cost value of all Improvements to the Licensed Space; and
would, with respect to Park infrastructure, require, in the sole judgment of the Commissioner, more than six months to complete.
If any portion of the Park infrastructure suffers Major Damage, whether or not including any portion of the Licensed Space, in whole or in part by fire or other casualty, the Commissioner has the right, for a period of six months starting on the date of the occurrence, to elect not to repair the Major Damage as otherwise required under this section, by giving written notice of the election to all licensees. If the Licensed Space is not affected by the Major Damage, Licensee may be required to continue Concession operations and pay Fees, in the sole discretion of the Commissioner. If the Licensed Space is rendered unusable for Concession operations, then Licensee must cease Concession operations and will not be required to pay Fees after the date of the occurrence of Major Damage but must pay all Fees otherwise owing prior to the date of occurrence. If the Commissioner elects not to repair the Major Damage, the Commissioner has the right to terminate, in the Commissioner's sole discretion, any or all license agreements, whether or not affected by the Major Damage, and relevant licensees must vacate the relevant licensed spaces.
If any portion of the Licensed Space suffers Major Damage, and if after the occurrence of the damage the Agreement is not terminated at the sole discretion of the Commissioner, the Licensee will, in accordance with paragraph B(v) below, estimate the cost of restoration and the length of time that will be required to repair the damage and will notify City of the estimate, which estimate must be approved by the Commissioner. If the damage can be repaired and the Improvements restored before the Term expires, then Licensee must repair the damage and restore the Improvements. If repair and restoration cannot be substantially completed before the Term expires, then this Agreement terminates as of the date of the Ma jor Damage.
If this Agreement is not terminated in accordance with paragraphs (B)(ii) or (iii) and a casually has damaged or destroyed any portion of the Park infrastructure involving the Licensed Space, the City will restore the Park infrastructure to the condition existing on the Delivery Date as nearly as possible, in the
24
Commissioner's sole determination. Upon completion of the City's Park infrastructure restoration work, if any, Licensee must proceed to rebuild the Improvements as nearly as possible to the character of Improvements existing immediately before the occurrence.
Before beginning to replace, repair, rebuild or restore Improvements, Licensee must deliver to the Commissioner a report of an independent consultant acceptable to the Commissioner setting forth:
an estimate of the total cost of the Work;
the estimated date upon which the Work will be substantially completed; and
a statement to the effect that insurance proceeds are projected to be sufficient to pay the costs of the Work.
The Commissioner will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide suitable temporary space during the period of restoration subject to the reasonable approval of Licensee. Licensee must relocate the Concession operations to the temporary space, and the costs associated with any such relocation, including moving expenses and the cost of reconstructing the Improvements in the temporary space, must be borne by Licensee.
C. Insufficient Insurance. In no event will the City be obligated to repair, alter, replace, restore, or rebuild any Improvements, or any portion of them, nor to pay any of the costs or expenses for them. If Licensee's available insurance proceeds are not sufficient to cover the cost of the restoration as required under this Section, then Licensee is liable to complete the repairs at its own cost and expense, except as provided in (C) above.
5.6 City Resident Construction Worker Employment Requirement.
Use of Residents. Jn connection with and during the construction of any Work in excess of $100,000 in Improvement Costs, Licensee and its Subcontractors must comply with the provisions of § 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of the City of Chicago ("Municipal Code"), as amended from time to time concerning the minimum percentage of total construction worker hours performed by actual residents of the City. (At least 50% of the total construction worker hours worked by persons on the site of the Work must be performed by actual residents of the City. Licensee may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer of the City.) In addition to complying with this percentage, Licensee and its Subcontractors are required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions. "City Resident" means persons domiciled within the City. The domicile is an individual's one and only tine, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment. Licensee and each Subcontractor (for purposes of this subsection, "Employer") must provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to ensure that City Residents are employed. Each Employer will maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every employee's actual record of residence.
Certified Payroll Reports. Weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) must be submitted by hard copy or electronically to the
25
Commissioner and must identify clearly the actual residence of every employee on each submitted certified payroll. The first time that an employee's name appears on a payroll, the date that the Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
Inspection of Records. Each Employer must provide full access to its employment records to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Commissioner, the Inspector General or any duly authorized representative of any of them. Each Employer must maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least 3 years after final acceptance of the Work. At the direction of the Commissioner, affidavits and other supporting documentation may be required of each Employer to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
Level of Effort. Efforts on the part of each Employer to provide utilization of City Residents that are not sufficient for the granting of a waiver request as provided for in the standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer will not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this section concerning the worker hours performed by City Residents.
Shortfalls; Liquidated Damages. When the Work is completed, in the event that the City has determined that Licensee has failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirement of this section concerning the worker hours performed by City Residents or failed to report in the manner as indicated above, the City will thereby be damaged in the failure to provide the benefit of demonstrable employment to Chicagoans to the degree stipulated in this section. Therefore, in such a case of non-compliance, it is agreed that 1/20 of 1% of the aggregate hard construction costs of the Improvement Costs (the product of .0005 x such aggregate hard construction costs) (as evidenced by approved contract value for the actual contracts) must be surrendered by Licensee to the City as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, in payment for each percentage of shortfall toward the stipulated residency requirement. Failure to report the residency of employees entirely and correctly will result in the surrender of the entire liquidated damages as if no Chicago residents were employed in either of the categories. The willful falsification of statements and the certification of payroll data may subject Licensee and/or the Subcontractors to prosecution. The City may draw against the Security any amounts that appear to be due to the City under this provision pending the City's determination as to the full amount of liquidated damages due on completion of the Work.
Nothing set forth in this section acts as a limitation upon the "Notice of Requirements for Affirmative Action to Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 1 1246" and "Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246," or other affirmative action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this Agreement or related documents, as applicable.
Inclusion in Subcontracts. Licensee must cause or require the provisions of this section to be included in all construction Subcontracts related to the Work.
26

Licensee's failure to ensure that any general contractor working on Improvements complies with Chapter 4-36 will be an Event of Default.
Prevailing Wages.
In connection with the construction, repair, and maintenance of Improvements, Licensee must comply with the applicable provisions of 820 ILCS 130/0.01 et seq. regarding the payment of prevailing wages, and the most recent Illinois Department of Labor schedule of prevailing wages, and any successors to them. Licensee must insert appropriate provisions in all Subcontracts covering construction work under this Agreement to ensure compliance of all construction Subcontractors with the foregoing wage statutes and regulations.
Subcontractor Certifications.
Licensee must require all Subcontractors performing Work in connection with this Agreement to be bound by the following provision and Licensee must cooperate fully with the City in exercising the rights and remedies described below or otherwise available at law or in equity:
"Subcontractor certifies and represents that Subcontractor and any entity or individual that owns or controls, or is controlled or owned by, or is under common control or ownership with Subcontractor is not currently indebted to the City and will not at any time during the Term be indebted to the City, for or on account of any delinquent taxes, liens, judgments, fees or other debts for which no written agreement or payment plan satisfactory to the City has been established. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to the City at law or in equity, Subcontractor acknowledges that any breach or failure to conform to this certification may, at the option and direction of the City, result in the withholding of payments otherwise due to Subcontractor for services rendered in connection with the Agreement and, if the breach or failure is not resolved to the City's satisfaction within a reasonable time frame specified by the City in writing, may result in the offset of any such indebtedness against the payments otherwise due to Subcontractor and/or the termination of Subcontractor for default (in which case Subcontractor will be liable for all excess costs and other damages resulting from the termination.)"
MBE/WBE Compliance.
If the City and Licensee agree through amendment that Licensee will implement Improvements to the Licensed Space, Licensee shall make good faith efforts to meet the following goals with respect to participation of Minority Business Enterprises/Woman-Owned Business Enterprises ("MBE/WBE") in the design and construction of Licensee's Improvements (inclusive of labor and materials), respectively: (i) Design: 25% MBE and 5% WBE; and (ii) Construction: 26% MBE and 6% WBE. The Special Conditions and related forms used by the City in its own procurements are attached hereto as Exhibit 7 and should be used by Licensee's
27
Contractors. Licensee must submit to DCASE completed Schedules C's and D's from its design and construction Contractors demonstrating their percentage MBE and WBE participation commitments, and their good faith efforts to achieve the foregoing goals if the commitments are less than those goals. Thereafter, Licensee must submit periodic reports to DCASE, in a form and frequency determined by the Commissioner, documenting its Contractors' compliance with their commitments. For all things relating to MBE/WBE compliance, those functions, including the ones described in Exhibit 11 Supplemental Contract Terms Relating to Executive Order 2021-1, will be performed by the Commissioner and not the CPO. However, firms will be certified by DPS.
5.11 Performance Bond
A Performance and Payment Bond will be required for this contract, if the Concessionaire and City agree through amendment that the Concessionaire will implement Improvements to the Licensed Space.
The Licensee must, within seven calendar days of receipt of written notice from the City, furnish a Performance and Payment Bond in the amount specified by Commissioner. The Bond must be on the Contractor's Performance and Payment Bond form, a specimen which is attached as Exhibit 5, issued by a surety that is satisfactory to the Commissioner and the City Comptroller, and comply with the provisions of 30 ILCS 550/1 et seq. and MCC Section 2-92-030.

ARTICLE 7 FEES
7.1 Fees Payable.
In consideration of City granting Licensee a license to operate its Concession in the Concession Space and a right to Storage Space, if any, Licensee must pay the following, without notice or demand: the Fixed Fee and the Percentage Fee (collectively, "Fees") as follows:
Fixed Fee. The "Fixed Fee" is a lump sum annual fee that is payable in in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter (March, June, September, December). The Fixed Fee will begin to accrue on the Effective Date and will be prorated for partial calendar quarter occupancy. .
Percentage Fee. The "Percentage Fee" is an amount equal to the Percentage Rate set forth in Exhibit 2 multiplied by Gross Revenues for each License Year, including the Initial License Year. The Percentage Fee is due annually on or before TBD of the succeeding License Year. The Percentage Rate applicable to this Agreement is set forth in Exhibit 2.
Failure by Licensee to pay Fees, or any portion thereof, when due is an Event of Default.
Impositions. Licensee must timely pay, as and when due, any and all taxes, assessments, fees, and charges levied, assessed or imposed by a governmental unit upon this Agreement, the Licensed Space, Licensee's Concession business or upon Licensee's personal
29
property, including but not limited to all permit fees and charges of a similar nature for Licensee's conduct of any business or undertaking in the Licensed Space (collectively, "Impositions"). Licensee must provide the Commissioner with copies of any business licenses or permits required for the Licensee to operate the Concession. Nothing in this Agreement precludes Licensee from contesting the amount of an Imposition, including those taxes or charges enacted or promulgated by City, but unless otherwise allowed by the entity imposing the tax or charge, Licensee must pay the tax or charge pending the judicial or administrative decision on the Licensee's contest. Failure of Licensee to pay any Imposition when due, except to the extent that Licensee is allowed to withhold payment while contesting the amount of the Imposition, will constitute an Event of Default.
C. Fees under this Agreement are not considered to be a tax and are independent of any Imposition levied by the City on the Licensee's business. Further, the payment of the Fees under this Agreement is independent of each and every other covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement, and Licensee must pay all Fees without any set off, abatement, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

Licensee failed to make any Fee payments within 5 days of the date due,
then Licensee must pay, in addition to the amount due the City, interest on the amount of underpayment or late payment at the Default Rate. Interest on the amount underpaid accrues from the date on which the original payment was due until paid in full. The provision for the payment of interest does not constitute an authorization by the City of underpayment or late payment.
Reports.
Monthly. Licensee must furnish to the Commissioner on or before the 15th day of each calendar month falling wholly or in part within the Term of this Agreement during which Licensee has operated in the Concession Space a complete statement, certified by Licensee, of the amount of Gross Revenues derived from the Concession Space by Licensee during the preceding month.

The annual statement must include a breakdown of Gross Revenues on a month by month basis and an opinion of a certified public accountant that must include the following language, or language of similar purport:

year ended ."
All such reports and statements must be prepared on a form approved by the Commissioner and must, among other things, provide a breakdown of the Gross Revenues by category of Products and an analysis of all Percentage Fees due and payable to the City with respect to the period in question. If Licensee fails to timely furnish to the Commissioner any monthly or annual statement required under this Agreement or if the independent certified public accountant's opinion is qualified or conditioned in any manner, the Commissioner has the right (but is not obligated) without notice, to conduct an audit of Licensee's books and records and to prepare the statements at Licensee's expense.

The books, records and accounts, including any sales tax reports that Licensee may be required to furnish to any government or governmental agency, must at all reasonable times be open to the inspection (including the making of copies or extracts) of the Commissioner, the Commissioner's auditor or other authorized representative or agent at the Licensed Space or Licensee's other offices in Chicago for a period of at least 3 years after the expiration of each calendar year falling wholly or in part within the Term.
The acceptance by the Commissioner of payments of any Percentage Fee is without prejudice to the Commissioner's right to conduct an examination of the Licensee's books and records relating to Gross Revenues and of inventories of Products at the Concession Space, in order to verify the amount of Gross Revenues made in and from the Concession Space.
After providing Licensee at least 3 days prior oral or written notice, the Commissioner may inspect the books and records of Licensee. Further, at its option, the Commissioner may at any reasonable time, upon no less than 10 days prior written notice to Licensee cause a complete audit to be made of Licensee's entire records relating to the Concession Space for the period covered by any statement issued by Licensee as above set forth.

"Losses" means, individually and collectively, liabilities of every kind, including monetary damages and reasonable costs, payments and expenses (such as, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, fines, judgments Or settlements, any or all of which in any way arise out of or relate

The Licensee shall be solely responsible for the defense of any and all claims, demands, or suits against the Indemnified Parties, including without limitation, claims by. an employee, subcontractors, agents, or servants of Licensee even though the claimant may allege that the Indemnified Parties were in charge of the work or service performed under the Contract, that it involves equipment owned or furnished by the Indemnified Parties, or allege negligence on the part of the Indemnified Parties. The City will have the right to require Licensee to provide the City with a separate defense of any such suit.

The City, however, does not waive any limitations it may have on its liability under the Illinois Workers Compensation Act, the Illinois Pension Code or any other statute.

Commissioner may, at any time, require that the Letter of Credit be replaced with a Letter of Credit from another institution and in accordance with the requirements set forth in this section.
No Excuse from Performance. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement nor in the Letter of Credit required under this Agreement excuse Licensee from faithfully performing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or limit the liability of Licensee under this Agreement for any and all damages in excess of the amounts of the Letter of Credit.
Non-Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the failure of the Commissioner to draw upon the Letter of Credit required under this Agreement or to require Licensee to replace the Letter of Credit at any time or times when the Commissioner has the right to do so under this Agreement does not waive or modify the Commissioner's rights to draw upon the Letter of Credit and to require Licensee to maintain or, as the case may be, replace the Letter of Credit, all as provided in this Section.

If the Agreement is terminated, whether in its entirety or with respect to a part of the Licensed Space, the damages will include any and all amounts that Licensee would have been obligated to pay for the balance of the Term with respect to the Licensed Space, calculated as provided in this Agreement or, if not fixed, as reasonably estimated; provided, however, that such damages based on Fees that Licensee would have been obligated to pay will cease when and if City executes a license agreement with a replacement licensee for the Licensed Space but only to the extent that the Fees paid by the replacement licensee equal or exceed the Fees that Licensee would have been obligated to pay. In determining the amount of damages for the period after termination, the Commissioner may make the determination based upon the sum of any future payments that would have been due to the City, for the full License Year immediately before the Event of Default.
Remove from the Licensed Space all inventory, equipment, machinery, trade fixtures and personal property of any kind or nature, whether owned by Licensee or by others. If such items listed in the immediately preceding sentence arc not collected by Licensee with five days, the City may dispose of such property in any manner selected by the Commissioner.
Seek and obtain specific performance, a temporary restraining order or an injunction, or any other appropriate equitable remedy.
38
Seek and obtain money damages; including special, exemplary, incidental and consequential damages.
Deem Licensee and Affiliates non-responsible in future contracts or concessions to be awarded by the City.
Declare Licensee and Affiliates in default under any other existing contracts or agreements they might have with the City and to exercise any remedies available under those other contracts or agreements.
Accept the assignment of any and all Subcontracts between Licensee and the design and construction Subcontractors.
I. Require Licensee to terminate a Subcontractor that is causing breaches of this
Agreement.
The remedies under the terms of this Agreement are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies.
9.3 Effect of Default and Remedies
Licensee, for itself and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under it (including creditors of all kinds), waives all right that they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law, to have a continuance of this Agreement for the Term, as it may have been extended, the termination of this Agreement as provided in this Agreement.
The City's waiver of any one right or remedy provided in this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy then or later available to the City under this Agreement or otherwise. A failure by the City or the Commissioner to take any action with respect to any Event of Default or violation of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement by Licensee will not in any respect limit, prejudice, diminish or constitute a waiver of any rights of the City to act with respect to any prior, contemporaneous or later violation or Event of Default or with respect to any continuation or repetition of the original violation or Event of Default. The acceptance by the City of payment for any period or periods after an Event of Default or violation of any of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver or diminution of, nor create any limitation upon any right of the City under this Agreement to terminate this Agreement for subsequent violation or Event of Default, or for continuation or repetition of the original violation or Event of Default. Licensee has no claim of any kind against the City by reason of the City's exercise of any of its rights as set forth in this Agreement or by reason of any act incidental or related to the exercise of rights.
All rights and remedies of the City under this Agreement are separate and cumulative and none excludes any other right or remedy of the City set forth in this Agreement or allowed by law or in equity. No termination of this Agreement deprives the City of any of its remedies against Licensee for Fees, or other amounts due or for damages for the Licensee's breach of this Agreement. Every right and remedy of the City under this Agreement survives the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Agreement.

any other matters, whether similar to or different from those referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) immediately above, affecting or having any connection with this Agreement, the negotiation of this Agreement, any discussions of this Agreement, the performance of this Agreement or those employed in connection with it.
10.2 Business Documents, Disclosure of Ownership Interests and Maintenance of Existence.
Licensee must provide evidence of its authority to do business in the State of Illinois including, if applicable, certifications of good standing from the Office of the Secretary of State of Illinois, and appropriate resolutions or other evidence of the authority of the persons executing this Agreement on behalf of Licensee.
Licensee has provided the Commissioner with an Economic Disclosure Statement and Affidavit ("EDS") for itself and EDSs for all entities with an ownership interest of 7.5 percent or more in Licensee, copies of which have been scanned for viewing on the City's website. Upon request by the Commissioner, Licensee must further cause its Subcontractors, and proposed Transferees (and their respective 7.5 percent owners) to submit an EDS to the Commissioner. Licensee must provide the Commissioner, upon request, a "no change" affidavit if the information in the EDS(s) previously supplied remains accurate, or revised and accurate EDS(s) if the information contained in the EDS(s) has changed. In addition, Licensee must provide the City revised and accurate EDS(s) within 30 days of any event or change in circumstance that renders the EDS(s) inaccurate. Failure to maintain accurate EDS(s) on file with the City is an Event of Default.
42
10.3 Licenses and Permits.
Licensee must in a timely manner consistent with its obligations under this Agreement, secure and maintain, or cause to be secured and maintained at its expense, the permits, licenses, authorizations and approvals as are necessary under federal, state or local law for Licensee, and Subcontractors: to operate the Concession; to construct, operate, use and maintain the Licensed Space; and otherwise to comply with the terms of this Agreement and the privileges granted under this Agreement. Licensee must promptly provide copies of any required licenses and permits to the Commissioner.
Confidentiality.
Except as may be required by law during or after the performance of this Agreement, Licensee will not disseminate any non-public information regarding this Agreement or the Concession operations without the prior written consent of the Commissioner, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Licensee is presented with a request for documents by any administrative agency or with a subpoena duces tecum regarding any documents that may be in its possession by reason of this Agreement, Licensee must immediately give notice to the City's Corporation Counsel. The City may contest the process by any means available to it before the records or documents are submitted to a court or other third party. Licensee, however, is not obligated to withhold the delivery beyond that time as may be ordered by the court or administrative agency, unless the subpoena or request is quashed or the time to produce is otherwise extended. Licensee must require each prospective Subcontractor to abide by such restrictions in connection with their respective Subcontracts.
Subcontracts and Assignments.
The City expressly reserves the right to assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its interest under this Agreement, at any time and to any third party. Upon assignment to any successor or assignee of the City's right, title and interest in and to the Park, the City is forever relieved, from and after the date of the assignment, of any and all obligations arising under or out of this Agreement, to the extent the obligations are assumed by the successor or assignee.
Limits on Licensee's transfers and changes in ownership:
(i) Licensee may not sell, assign, sublicense, convey, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer (individually and collectively, "Transfer") all or any part of its rights or interests in or to this Agreement, the Licensed Space, or otherwise permit any third party to use the Licensed Space, without prior consent of the City, which consent may be given or denied in the City's sole discretion. Consent by the City does not relieve Licensee from obtaining further consent from the City for any subsequent Transfer. Transfers may require approval of the City Council; if such approval is not required, then approval of the Commissioner is required. Consent by the City to any Transfer does not relieve Licensee from the requirement of obtaining consent from the City for any subsequent Transfer. Transfers that have the effect of granting a third party a security interest in this Agreement or the Licensed Space as collateral for Licensee financing are strictly prohibited and, if entered into by Licensee, are an Event of Default.
43
Except as otherwise provided below, any transaction involving a change of any ownership interest in Licensee, whether to an Affiliate, subsidiary or otherwise, or the transfer of an interest in any holder of a direct or indirect ownership interest in Licensee, or any merger or consolidation of Licensee (individually and collectively, "Change in Ownership"), is subject to the consent of the:
City Council, in its sole discretion, if consent by City Council was required for approval of this Agreement, or
the Commissioner, in his sole discretion, if consent by City Council was not required for approval of this Agreement.
If Licensee (or, if Licensee is a joint venture or other entity comprised of other entities, any of the entities comprising Licensee) is a corporation whose shares arc traded at arms-length on a public exchange, any Change in Ownership involving 7.5% or more of the shares of Licensee's (or if Licensee is a joint venture or other entity comprised of other entities, of any of the entities comprising Licensee) stock is subject to the City's consent as set forth above. If Licensee (or if Licensee is a joint venture or other entity comprised of other entities, of any of the entities comprising Licensee) is a publicly traded corporation, a Change in Ownership of less than 7.5% does not require consent as set forth in (ii) above unless a series of such transactions results in a cumulative Change in Ownership of 7.5%) or more.
Consent by the City to any Change in Ownership docs not relieve Licensee (or if Licensee is a joint venture, any of the entities comprising Licensee) from the requirement of obtaining consent from the City for any subsequent Change in Ownership.
Any Transfer or Change in Ownership made without the City's prior consent is an Event of Default subject to all remedies, including termination of this Agreement at the City's option, and does not relieve Licensee of any of its obligations under this Agreement for the balance of the Term. This section applies to prohibit a Transfer, such as an assignment by a receiver or trustee in any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings or by operation of law. Under no circumstances will any failure by the Commissioner to act on or submit any request by Licensee or to take any other action as provided in this Agreement be deemed or construed to constitute consent to the Licensee's request by the Commissioner or by the City Council.
Notwithstanding any permitted Transfer by Licensee of any rights under this Agreement, Licensee remains fully liable for all payments due to the City under this Agreement and for the performance of all other obligations under this Agreement. In the event of a permitted Transfer of this Agreement, where the fees payable to Licensee exceed the License Fee or pro rata portion of the License Fee under this Agreement, as the case may be, for the Licensed Space, Licensee must pay the City quarterly, at the same time as the quarterly installments of the License Fee under this Agreement that are payable in quarterly installments, the excess of the fees payable to Licensee pursuant to the Transfer over the License Fee payable to the City under this Agreement.
44
Any or all of the requests by Licensee for consents under this Section must be made in writing and provided to the Commissioner (a) at least 60 days prior to the proposed Transfer or Change in Ownership if the Commissioner's consent is required; and (b) at least 120 days prior to a proposed Transfer or Change in Ownership if the City Council's consent is required, unless the City determines that more time is required. All requests for consent must include copies of the proposed documents of Transfer or Change in Ownership, evidence of the financial condition, reputation and business experience of the proposed transferee, completed Economic Disclosure Statements and Affidavits for all involved parties in the form then required by the City, and such other documents as the City may reasonably require to evaluate the proposed Transfer or Change in Ownership. All documents of Transfer or Change in Ownership must completely disclose any and all monetary considerations payable to Licensee in connection with the Transfer or Change in Ownership. Consent to a Transfer or Change in Ownership proposed under this Agreement is in the sole discretion of the City and, as a condition of the consent, the City may require a written acknowledgment from Licensee that, notwithstanding the proposed Transfer or Change in Ownership, Licensee remains fully and completely liable for all obligations of Licensee under this Agreement; however, Licensee shall remain so liable regardless of whether or not the City requests a written acknowledgement.
If any Transfer or Change in Ownership under this Agreement occurs, whether or not prohibited by this section, the Commissioner may collect the Fees payable under this Agreement from any transferee of Licensee and in that event will apply the net amount collected to the amounts payable by Licensee under this Agreement without, by doing so, releasing Licensee from this Agreement or any of its obligations under this Agreement. If any Transfer or Change in Ownership occurs without the consent of the City and the City collects compensation from any transferee of Licensee and applies the net amount collected in the manner described in the preceding sentence, the actions by the City are not deemed to be waiver of the covenant contained in this section and do not constitute acceptance of the transferee by the City.
All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the City in connection with any prohibited or permitted Transfer or Change in Ownership must be borne by Licensee and are payable to the City.
C. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent applicable, are deemed a part of any contract between Licensee and Subcontractor.
10.6 Compliance with Laws.
Licensee must at all times observe and comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, court orders and executive or administrative orders and directives of the federal, state and local government, now existing or later in effect (whether or not the law also requires compliance by other parties), including the Americans with Disabilities Act and Environmental Laws, that may in any manner affect the performance of this Agreement (collectively, "Laws"), and must not use the Licensed Space, or allow the Licensed Space to be used, in violation of any Laws or in any manner that would impose liability on the City or
45
Licensee under any Laws. Licensee must notify the City within seven days of receiving notice from a competent governmental authority that Licensee or any of its Subcontractors may have violated any Laws. Provisions required by any Law to be inserted in this Agreement are deemed inserted in this Agreement whether or not they appear in this Agreement or, upon application by either party, this Agreement will be amended to make the insertion; however, in no event will the failure to insert the provisions before or after this Agreement is signed prevent its enforcement. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee covenants that it will comply with all Laws, including but not limited to the following:
In connection with Section 2-92-320 of the Municipal Code, Licensee has executed an Economic Disclosure Statement and Affidavit which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 8 and which contains a certification as required under the Illinois Criminal Code, 720 ILCS 5/33E, and under the Illinois Municipal Code, 65 ILCS 5/8-10-1 et seq. Ineligibility under Section 2-92-320 of the Municipal Code continues for 3 years following any conviction or admission of a violation of Section 2-92-320. For purposes of Section 2-92-320, when an official, agent or employee of a business entity has committed any offense under the section on behalf of such an entity and under the direction or authorization of a responsible official of the entity, the business entity is chargeable with the conduct. If, after Licensee enters into a contractual relationship with a Subcontractor, it is determined that the contractual relationship is in violation of this subsection, Licensee must immediately cease to use' the Subcontractor. All Subcontracts must provide that Licensee is entitled to recover all payments made by it to the Subcontractor if, before or subsequent to the beginning of the contractual relationship, the use of the Subcontractor would be violative of this subsection.
It is the duty of Licensee and all officers, directors, agents, partners, and employees of Licensee to cooperate with the Inspector General of the City in any investigation or hearing undertaken under Chapter 2-56 of the Municipal Code. Licensee understands and will abide by all provisions of Chapter 2-56 of the Municipal Code. Licensee must inform all Subcontractors of this provision and require under each Subcontract compliance herewith by each Subcontractor as to each such Subcontractor and all of its officers, directors, agents, partners and employees.
Licensee must not use or allow the Licensed Space to be used for the release, storage, use, treatment, disposal or other handling of any hazardous substance, as defined in any Environmental Laws, except in full compliance with all Environmental Laws. Licensee must not use or allow the Licensed Space to be used for the storage of any such hazardous substances except small amounts of cleaning fluids, business equipment materials (such as copy machine toner) and other small amounts of such hazardous substances customarily handled or used in connection with the Concession operations, all of which must be stored and used in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Licensee must vacate the Licensed Space to the City free from the presence and contamination of any hazardous substances.
In accordance with Section 11-4-1600(e) of the Municipal Code of Chicago, Licensee warrants and represents that it, and to the best of its knowledge, its Subcontractors have not violated and are not in violation of the following sections of the Municipal Code (collectively, the "Waste Sections7'):
7-28-390 Dumping on public way—Violation—Penalty;
46
7-28-440 Dumping on real estate without permit;
11-4-1410 Disposal in waters prohibited;
11-4-1420 Ballast tank, bilge tank or other discharge;
11-4-1450 Gas manufacturing residue;
11-4-1500 Treatment and disposal of solid or liquid waste;
11-4-1530 Compliance with rules and regulations required;
1 1-4-1550 Operational requirements;
11-4-1560 Screening requirements; and
any other sections listed in Section 11-4-1600(e), as it may be amended from time to
time.
During the period while this Agreement is executory, Licensee's or any Subcontractor's violation of the Waste Sections, whether or not relating to the performance of this Agreement, constitutes a breach of and an Event of Default under this Agreement, for which the opportunity to cure, if curable, will be granted only at the sole designation of the Commissioner. Such breach and Event of Default entitles the City to all remedies under the Agreement, at law or in equity. This section does not limit the Licensee's and its Subcontractors' duty to comply with all Environmental Laws, in effect now or later, and whether or not they appear in this Agreement. Non-compliance with these terms and conditions may be used by the City as grounds for the termination of this Agreement, and may further affect the Licensee's eligibility for future City agreements.
Section 2-92-586 of the Municipal Code: The City encourages Licensee to use contractors and subcontractors that are firms owned or operated by individuals with disabilities, as defined by section 2-92-586 of the Municipal Code of the City of Chicago, where not otherwise prohibited by federal or state law.
Prohibition on Certain Contributions
No Contractor or any person or entity who directly or indirectly has an ownership or beneficial interest in Contractor of more than 7.5% ("Owners"), spouses and domestic partners of such Owners, Contractor's Subcontractors, any person or entity who directly or indirectly has an ownership or beneficial interest in any Subcontractor of more than 7.5%> ("Sub-owners") and spouses and domestic partners of such Sub-owners (Contractor and all the other preceding classes of persons and entities are together, the "Identified Parties"), shall make a contribution of any amount to the Mayor of the City of Chicago (the "Mayor") or to his political fundraising committee during (i) the bid or other solicitation process for this Contract or Other Contract, including while this Contract or Other Contract is executory, (ii) the term of this Contract or any Other Contract between City and Licensee, and/or (iii) any period in which an extension of this Contract or Other Contract with the City is being sought or negotiated.
Licensee represents and warrants that since the date of public advertisement of the specification, request for qualifications, request for proposals or request for information (or any combination of those requests) or, if not competitively procured, from the date the City approached the Licensee or the date the Licensee approached the City, as applicable, regarding
47
the formulation of this Contract, no Identified Parties have made a contribution of any amount to the Mayor or to his political fundraising committee.
Licensee shall not: (a) coerce, compel or intimidate its employees to make a contribution of any amount to the Mayor or to the Mayor's political fundraising committee; (b) reimburse its employees for a contribution of any amount made to the Mayor or to the Mayor's political fundraising committee; or (c) bundle or solicit others to bundle contributions to the Mayor or to his political fundraising committee.
The Identified Parties must not engage in any conduct whatsoever designed to intentionally violate this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 or to entice, direct or solicit others to intentionally violate this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4.
Violation of, non-compliance with, misrepresentation with respect to, or breach of any covenant or warranty under this provision or violation of Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 constitutes a breach and default under this Contract, and under any Other Contract for which no opportunity to cure will be granted. Such breach and default entitles the City to all remedies (including without limitation termination for default) under this Contract, under Other Contract, at law and in equity. This provision amends any Other Contract and supersedes any inconsistent provision contained therein.
If Licensee violates this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 prior to award of the Contract resulting from this specification, the Commissioner may reject Licensee's bid.
For purposes of this provision:
"Other Contract" means any agreement entered into between the Licensee and the City that is (i) formed under the authority of MCC Ch. 2-92; (ii) for the purchase, sale or lease of real or personal property; or (iii) for materials, supplies, equipment or services which are approved and/or authorized by the City Council.
"Contribution" means a "political contribution" as defined in MCC Ch. 2-156, as amended.
"Political fundraising committee" means a "political fundraising committee" as defined in MCC Ch. 2-156, as amended.
G. Licensee covenants that no payment, gratuity or offer of employment must be made in connection with this Agreement by or on behalf of any Subcontractors or higher tier Subcontractors or anyone associated with them as an inducement for the award of a Subcontract or order; and Licensee further acknowledges that any agreement entered into, negotiated or performed in violation of any of the provisions of Chapter 2-156 of the Municipal Code is voidable as to the City.
II. Pursuant to MCC Sect. 2-156-030(b), it is illegal for any elected official, or any person acting at the direction of such official, to contact either orally or in writing any other City official or employee with respect to any matter involving any person with whom the elected official has any business relationship that creates a financial interest on the part of the official, or the domestic partner or spouse of the official, or from whom or which he has derived any income or compensation during the preceding twelve months or from whom or which he reasonably expects to derive any income or compensation in the following twelve months. In addition, no elected official may participate in any discussion in any City Council committee hearing or in
48
any City Council meeting or vote on any matter involving the person with whom the elected official has any business relationship that creates a financial interest on the part of the official, or the domestic partner or spouse of the official, or from whom or which he has derived any income or compensation during the preceding twelve months or from whom or which he reasonably expects to derive any income or compensation in the following twelve months.
Violation of MCC Sect. 2-156-030 by any elected official with respect to this contract will be grounds for termination of this contract. The term financial interest is defined as set forth in MCC Chapter 2-156.
I. Visual Rights Act.
The Licensee will cause any artist who creates artwork for the Licensed Space to waive any and all rights in the artwork that may be granted or conferred on any work of visual art (the "Artwork") under Section 106A and Section 113 of the United States Copyright Act, (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) (the "Copyright Act"). The waiver must include, but is not limited to, the right to prevent the removal, storage, relocation, reinstallation, or transfer of the Artwork. The Licensee acknowledges and will cause the artist to acknowledge that such removal, storage, relocation, reinstallation or transfer of the Artwork may result in the destruction, distortion, mutilation or other modification of the Artwork. Further, the Licensee acknowledges and consents and will cause the artist to acknowledge and consent that the Artwork may be incorporated or made part of a building or other structure in such a way that removing, storing, relocating, reinstalling or transferring the Artwork will cause the destruction, distortion, mutilation or other modification of the Artwork.
The Licensee represents and warrants that it will obtain a waiver of Section 106A and Section 113 of the Copyright Act as necessary from any employees and subcontractors, or any other artists. Licensee must provide City with copies of any such waivers required by Section 106A and Section 113 of the Copyright Act prior to installation of any Artwork in the Licensed Space.
10.7 Non-Discrimination.
A. Licensee for itself, its personal representatives, successors in interest, and assigns, as a part of the consideration of this Agreement, covenants that: (i) no person on the grounds of race, color, or national origin will be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination in the use of the Licensed Space; (ii) in the construction of any Improvements within the Licensed Space and the furnishing of services in them, no person on the grounds of race, color, or national origin will be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of or otherwise be subjected to discrimination; (iii) Licensee will use the Licensed Space in compliance with all other requirements imposed by or under 49 C.F.R.

In addition, Licensee assures that it will comply with all other pertinent statutes, Executive Orders and the rules as are promulgated to assure that no person will, on the grounds

2014 Hiring Plan Prohibitions
The City is subject to the June 16, 2014 "City of Chicago Hiring Plan" (the "2014 City Hiring Plan") entered in Shakman v. Democratic Organization of Cook County, Case No 69 C 2145 (United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). Among other things, the 2014 City Hiring Plan prohibits the City from hiring persons as governmental employees in non-exempt positions on the basis of political reasons or factors.
Licensee is aware that City policy prohibits City employees from directing any individual to apply for a position with Licensee, either as an employee or as a subcontractor, and from directing Licensee to hire an individual as an employee or as a subcontractor. Accordingly, Licensee must follow its own hiring and contracting procedures, without being influenced by City employees. Any and all personnel provided by Licensee under this Contract are employees or subcontractors of Licensee, not employees of the City of Chicago. This Contract is not intended to and does not constitute, create, give rise to, or otherwise recognize an employer-employee relationship of any kind between the City and any personnel provided by Licensee.
Licensee will not condition, base, or knowingly prejudice or affect any term or aspect of the employment of any personnel provided under this Contract, or offer employment to any individual to provide services under this Contract, based upon or because of any political reason or factor, including, without limitation, any individual's political affiliation, membership in a political organization or party, political support or activity, political financial contributions, promises of such political support, activity or financial contributions, or such individual's political sponsorship or recommendation. For purposes of this Contract, a political organization
51
or party is an identifiable group or entity that has as its primary purpose the support of or opposition to candidates for elected public office. Individual political activities are the activities of individual persons in support of or in opposition to political organizations or parties or candidates for elected public office.
D. In the event of any communication to Licensee by a City employee or City official in violation of paragraph B above, or advocating a violation of paragraph C above, Licensee will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, report such communication to the Hiring Oversight Section of the City's Office of the Inspector General, and also to the head of the relevant City Department utilizing services provided under this Contract. Licensee will also cooperate with any inquiries by OIG Hiring Oversight.
Multi-Project Labor Agreement.
The City has entered into the Multi-Project Agreement ("PLA") with various trades regarding projects involving construction, demolition, maintenance, rehabilitation, and/or renovation work. During the term of this Agreement, Licensee, sublicensees, and Subcontractors shall not contract or subcontract, nor permit any other person, firm, company, or entity to contract or subcontract, any construction, demolition, rehabilitation or renovation work for the project work covered under this Agreement or within the trade jurisdiction of the signatory labor organization, to be performed at the site of construction or off-site solely for installation at the premises, (including all Licensee improvements, if applicable), unless such work is performed only by a person, firm or company signatory, or will to become a signatory, to the applicable area-wide collective bargaining agreement(s) with the union(s) or the appropriate trade/craft unions(s) or subordinate body or affiliate of the Chicago & Cook County Building & Construction Trades Council ("Council") or the Teamsters' Joint Council No. 25.
Said provisions of this Agreement shall be included in all requests for bids and/or proposals and shall be explicitly included in all contracts or subcontracts of whatsoever tier by all contractors and subcontractors; provided that the total project value exceeds $25,000.00. In the event a dispute arises with respect to the applicability of the PLA to a particular project, the parties agree to submit said dispute to final and binding arbitration before an arbiter who shall be mutually agreed to by the parties.
Minimum Waee.
Licensee agrees that this Agreement is subject to Mayoral Executive Order 2014-1 ("Executive Order 2014-1"), which provides for a fair and adequate Minimum Wage to be paid to employees of City concessionaries and their contractors, subcontractors and sublicensees. Licensee and any of its sublicensees and subcontractors must pay the Minimum Wage set forth in Executive Order 2014-1 and comply with any applicable regulations issued by the Chief Procurement Officer. Every July 1, the hourly wages shall increase in proportion to the increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers most recently published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. Any hourly wage increase shall be rounded up to the nearest multiple of $0.05. Such increase shall remain in effect until any subsequent adjustment is made.
As of July 1, 2020 the Minimum Wage for all employees to be paid pursuant to Executive Order
52
2014-1 is $14.15 per hour. This requirement applies to any employee working at the Airport. When the employer takes an allowance for gratuities pursuant to 820 ILCS 105/3(c), the employer shall base the calculation of the amount to be paid by the employer to the employee on the minimum wage as set forth in 820 ILCS 105/3, and add $1.00 per hour to that amount. As of July 1, 2017, the amount to be paid when taking an allowance for gratuities, is $6.10 per hour. On or before June 1 of each year, the City will make available to the Licensee a bulletin announcing the adjusted minimum hourly wages for the upcoming year.
Licensee, and any sublicensees, subcontractors, that pay an employee the wage for employees who receive gratuities, shall transmit to the City, in a manner provided by regulation, substantial evidence establishing both the amount that the employee received as gratuities during the relevant pay period or periods, and the fact that the employee did not return any part of those gratuities to the Licensee, sublicensees, or subcontractor. If Licensee, sublicensees, or subcontractor, is required by the Minimum Wage Law to provide substantially similar data to the Illinois Department of Labor, the City may allow compliance with this requirement by filing the same documentation with the City. The City shall utilize this data to ensure that each employee receives, in combined salary and gratuities, at least the base hourly wage required under Executive Order 2014-1.
However, the Minimum Wage is not required to be paid to categories of employees subject to subsection 4(a)(2), subsection 4(a)(3), subsection 4(d), subsection 4(e), or Section 6 of the Illinois Minimum Wage Law. Nevertheless, the Minimum Wage is required to be paid to those workers described in subsections 4(a)(2)(A) and 4(a)(2)(B) of the Illinois Minimum Wage Law.
Additionally, the Minimum Wage is not required to be paid to employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement that provides for different wages than those required by Executive Order 2014-1, if that collective bargaining agreement was in force prior to October 1, 2014 or if that collective bargaining agreement clearly and specifically waives the requirements of the order.
This Minimum Wage section does not apply if Licensee, Subcontractor, or sublicensee is a not-for-profit organization having tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and recognized under Illinois law governing not-for-profit corporations.
10.12 Policy Prohibiting Sexual Harassment (Section 2-92-612). For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply:
"Contract" means any contract, purchase order, construction project, or other agreement (other than a delegate agency contract or lease of real property or collective bargaining agreement) awarded by the city and whose cost is to be paid from funds belonging to or administered by the city.
"Contractor" means the person to whom a contract is awarded.
"Sexual harassment" means any unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors or conduct of a sexual nature when (i) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment; or (ii) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for any employment decision affecting the individual; or (iii) such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an
53
individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.
"Subcontractor" means any person that enters into a contract with a contractor to perform work on a contract.
As a condition of contract award, Contractor shall, as prescribed by the Commissioner, attest by affidavit that Contractor has a written policy prohibiting sexual harassment that shall include, at a minimum, the following information: (i) the illegality of sexual harassment; ( ii) the definition of sexual harassment; and (iii) the legal recourse available for victims of sexual harassment. Contractor's affidavit is included in Exhibit 8, "Sexual Harassment Policy Affidavit".
Contractor's failure to have a written policy prohibiting sexual harassment as provided above shall constitute an event of default. In the event of default, the Commissioner shall notify Contractor of such noncompliance and may, as appropriate: (i) issue Contractor an opportunity to cure consistent with the default provisions in this Agreement; (ii) terminate the contract; or (iii) take any other action consistent with the default provisions in the contract. This section shall not be construed to prohibit the City from prosecuting any person who knowingly makes a false statement of material fact to the city pursuant to Chapter 1-21 of this Code, or from availing itself of any other remedies under contract or law.
10.13 Policy on Non-Disclosure of Salary History (Section 2-92-385) For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply:
"Contract" means any Agreement or transaction pursuant to which a contractor (i) receives City funds in consideration for services, work or goods provided or rendered, including contracts for legal or other professional services, or (ii) pays the City money in consideration for a license, grant or concession allowing it to conduct a business on City premises, and includes any contracts not awarded or processed by the Department of Procurement Services.
"Contractor" means the person to whom a contract is awarded.
As a condition of contract award, Contractor shall attest by affidavit that Contractor has a policy that conforms to the following requirements:
Contractor shall not screen job applicants based on their wage or salary history, including by requiring that an applicant's prior wages, including benefits or other compensation, satisfy minimum or maximum criteria; or by requesting or requiring an applicant to disclose prior wages or salary, cither (i) as a condition of being interviewed, (ii) as a condition of continuing to be considered for an offer of employment, (iii) as a condition of an offer of employment or an offer of compensation, or (iv) as a condition of employment; and
Contractor shall not seek an applicant's wage or salary history, including benefits or other compensation, from any current or former employer.
Contractor's affidavit is included in the Exhibit titled "Affidavit Regarding Policy on Non-Disclosure of Salary History".
54
If Contractor violates the above requirements, Contractor may be deemed ineligible to contract with the City; any contract, extension, or renewal thereof awarded in violation of the above requirements may be voidable at the option of the City. Provided, however, that upon a finding of a violation by Contractor, no contract shall be voided, terminated, or revoked without consideration by the Chief Procurement Officer of such action's impact on the Contractor's MBE or WBE subcontractors.

No waiver is effective unless made in writing and executed by the party to be bound by it.

Limitation of City's Liability.
Licensee, and Subcontractors, and sublicensees (if any) must make no claims against the City for damages, charges, additional costs or fees or any lost profits or costs incurred by reason of delays or hindrances by the City in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement.

MBE & WBE SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR COMMODITIES OR SERVICES CONTRACTS
ARTICLE 1. SPECIAL CONDITIONS REGARDING MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE COMMITMENT AND WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE COMMITMENT FOR COMMODITIES OR SERVICES 1.1. Policy and Terms
It is the policy of the City of Chicago that Local Businesses certified as Minority Owned Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Owned Business Enterprises (WBE) in accordance with Section 2-92-420 et seq. of the Municipal Code of Chicago and Regulations Governing Certification of Minority and Women-owned Businesses and all other Regulations promulgated under the aforementioned sections of the Municipal Code, as well as MBEs and WBEs certified by Cook County, Illinois, will have full and fair opportunities to participate fully in the performance of this contract. Therefore, the Contractor will not discriminate against any person or business on the basis of race, color, sex, gender identity, age, religion, disability, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge status or source of income and will take affirmative action to ensure that women and minority businesses will have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform subcontracts for supplies or services.
Pursuant to Section 2-92-430 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, the Chief Procurement Officer has established a goal of awarding not less than 25% of the annual dollar value of all non-construction contracts to certified MBEs and 5% of the annual dollar value of all non-construction contracts to certified WBEs.
Accordingly, the Contractor commits to make Good Faith Efforts to expend at least the following percentages of the total funds Contractor expends upon Improvements to the Licensed Space (inclusive of labor and materials), if awarded, for contract participation by MBEs and WBEs:
Design Construction
MBE Percentage WBE Percentage MBE Percentage WBE Percentage
25% 5% 26% 6%
(See Form "Bidders Commitment to Utilize MBE and WBE Firms on No Stated Goals Contract" for Contract Specific Goals in the case of a contract subject to a bid preference pursuant to MCC 2-92-525.)
This commitment is met by the Contractor's status as a MBE or WBE, or by a joint venture with one or more MBEs or WBEs as prime contractor (to the extent of the MBE or WBE participation in such joint venture), or by subcontracting a portion of the work to one or more MBEs or WBEs, or by the purchase of materials used in the performance of the contract from one or more MBEs or WBEs, or by any combination of the foregoing.
Note: MBE/WBE participation goals are separate and those businesses certified with the City of Chicago as both MBE and WBE may only be listed on a bidder's compliance plan as either an MBE or a WBE, but not both, to demonstrate compliance with the Contract Specific Goals.
The Contractor also may meet all or part of this commitment through credits received pursuant to Section 2-92-530 of the Municipal Code of Chicago for the voluntary use of MBEs or WBEs in private sector contracts.
M/WBE Special Conditions for Commodities & Services 03 29.2019
Pursuant to MCC 2-92-535, the prime contractor may apply be awarded an additional 0.5 percent credit, up to a maximum of a total of 5% additional credit, for every 1% of the value of a contract self-performed by MBEs or WBEs, or combination thereof, that have entered into a mentoring agreement with the contractor or subcontractor-to-subcontractor mentoring agreement. This up to 5% may be applied to the Contract Specific Goals, or it may be in addition to the Contract Specific Goals.
1.2. Definitions
"Area of Specialty" means the description of an MBE or WBE firm's business which has been determined by the Chief Procurement Officer to be most reflective of the MBE or WBE firm's claimed specialty or expertise. Each MBE/WBE letter of certification contains a description of the firm's Area of Specialty. This information is also contained in the Directory (defined below). Credit toward this Contract's MBE and WBE participation goals shall be limited to the participation of firms performing within their Area of Specialty.
NOTICE: The City of Chicago does not make any representation concerning the ability of any MBE/WBE to perform work within their Area of Specialty. It is the responsibility of all contractors to determine the capability and capacity of MBEs/WBEs to satisfactorily perform the work proposed.

"Commercially Useful Function" means responsibility for the execution of a distinct element of the work of the contract, which is carried out by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved, evidencing the responsibilities and risks of a business owner such as negotiating the terms of (sub)contracts, taking on a financial risk commensurate with the contract or its subcontract, responsibility for acquiring the appropriate lines of credit and/or loans, or fulfilling responsibilities as a joint venture partner as described in the joint venture agreement.
"Contract Specific Goals" means the subcontracting goals for MBE and WBE participation established for a particular contract.

"Indirect Participation" refers to the value of payments made to MBE or WBE firms for work that is done in their Area of Specialty related to other aspects of the Contractor's business. (Note: no dollar of such indirect MBE or WBE participation shall be considered in a Good Faith Efforts determination more than once against a contractor's MBE or WBE commitment with respect to all government contracts held by that contractor.)
"Joint venture" means an association of a MBE or WBE firm and one or more other firms to carry out a single, for-profit business enterprise, for which each joint venture partner contributes property, capital, efforts, skills and knowledge, and in which the MBE or WBE is responsible for a distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract and whose share in the capital contribution, control, management, risks, and profits of the joint venture are commensurate with its ownership interest.
"Mentor-Protege Agreement" means an agreement between a prime and MBE or WBE subcontractor ("Mentoring Agreement") or an agreement between a prime's subcontractor and MBE or WBE subcontractor ("Subcontractor-to-Subcontractor Mentoring Agreement"), pursuant to MCC 2-92-535, that is approved by the City of Chicago and complies with all requirements of MCC 2-92-535 and any rules and regulations promulgated by the Chief Procurement Officer.

To be a regular distributor the firm must engage in, as its principal business and in its own name, the purchase and sale of the products in question. A regular distributor in such bulk items as steel, cement, gravel, stone, and petroleum products need not keep such products in stock if it owns or operates distribution equipment.
"Women Owned Business Enterprise" or "WBE" means a firm awarded certification as a women owned and controlled business in accordance with City Ordinances and Regulations as well as a firm awarded certification as a women owned business by Cook County, Illinois. However, it does not mean a firm that has been found ineligible or which has been decertified by the City or Cook County.
1.3. Joint Ventures
The formation of joint ventures to provide MBEs and WBEs with capacity and experience at the prime contracting level, and thereby meet Contract Specific Goals (in whole or in part) is encouraged. A joint venture may consist of any combination of MBEs, WBEs, and non-certified firms as long as one member is an MBE or WBE.
a. The joint venture may be eligible for credit towards the Contract Specific Goals only if:
The MBE or WBE joint venture partner's share in the capital contribution, control, management, risks and profits of the joint venture is equal to its ownership interest;
The MBE or WBE joint venture partner is responsible for a distinct, clearly defined portion of the requirements of the contract for which it is at risk;
Each joint venture partner executes the bid to the City; and
M/WBE Special Conditions for Commodities & Services 03 29.2019
iv. The joint venture partners have entered into a written agreement specifying the terms
and conditions of the relationship between the partners and their relationship and responsibilities to the contract, and all such terms and conditions are in accordance with the conditions set forth in Items i, ii, and iii above in this Paragraph a.
The Chief Procurement Officer shall evaluate the proposed joint venture agreement, the Schedule B submitted on behalf of the proposed joint venture, and all related documents to determine whether these requirements have been satisfied. The Chief Procurement Officer shall also consider the record of the joint venture partners on other City of Chicago contracts. The decision of the Chief Procurement Officer regarding the eligibility of the joint venture for credit towards meeting the Contract Specific Goals, and the portion of those goals met by the joint venture, shall be final.
The joint venture may receive MBE or WBE credit for work performed by the MBE or WBE joint venture partner(s) equal to the value of work performed by the MBE or WBE with its own forces for a distinct, clearly defined portion of the work.
Additionally, if employees of the joint venture entity itself (as opposed to employees of the MBE or WBE partner) perform the work, then the value of the work may be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals at a rate equal to the MBE or WBE firm's percentage of participation in the joint venture as described in Schedule B.
The Chief Procurement Officer may also count the dollar value of work subcontracted to other MBEs and WBEs. Work performed by the forces of a non-certified joint venture partner shall not be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals.
Schedule B: MBE/WBE Affidavit of Joint Venture
Where the bidder's Compliance Plan includes the participation of any MBE or WBE as a joint venture partner, the bidder must submit with its bid a Schedule B and the proposed joint venture agreement. These documents must both clearly evidence that the MBE or WBE joint venture partner(s) will be responsible for a clearly defined portion of the work to be performed, and that the MBE's or WBE's responsibilities and risks are proportionate to its ownership percentage. The proposed joint venture agreement must include specific details related to:
The parties' contributions of capital, personnel, and equipment and share of the costs of insurance and bonding;
Work items to be performed by the MBE's or WBE's own forces and/or work to be performed by employees of the newly formed joint venture entity;
Work items to be performed under the supervision of the MBE or WBE joint venture partner; and
The MBE's or WBE's commitment of management, supervisory, and operative personnel to the performance of the contract.
NOTE: Vague, general descriptions of the responsibilities of the MBE or WBE joint venture partner do not provide any basis for awarding credit. For example, descriptions such as "participate in the budgeting process," "assist with hiring," or "work with managers to improve customer service" do not identify distinct, clearly defined portions of the work. Roles assigned should require activities that are performed on a regular, recurring basis rather than as needed. The roles must also be pertinent to the nature of the business for which credit is being sought. For instance, if the scope of work required by the City entails the delivery of goods or services to various sites in the City, stating that the MBE or WBE joint venture partner will be responsible for the performance of all routine maintenance and all repairs required to the vehicles used to deliver such goods or services is pertinent to the nature of the business for which credit is being sought.
1.4. Counting MBE/WBE Participation Toward the Contract Specific Goals
M/WBE Special Conditions for Commodities & Services 03 29 2019
Refer to this section when preparing the MBE/WBE compliance plan and completing Schedule D-l for guidance on what value of the participation by MBEs and WBEs will be counted toward the stated Contract Specific Goals. The "Percent Amount of Participation" depends on whether and with whom a MBE or WBE subcontracts out any portion of its work and other factors.
Firms that are certified as both MBE and WBE may only be listed on a bidder's compliance plan as either a MBE or a WBE to demonstrate compliance with the Contract Specific Goals. For example, a firm that is certified as both a MBE and a WBE may only be listed on the bidder's compliance plan under one of the categories, but not both. Except as provided in MCC 2-92-S25(b)(2), only Payments made to MBE and WBE firms that meet BOTH the Commercially Useful Function and Area of Specialty requirements above will be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals.
Only expenditures to firms that perform a Commercially Useful Function as defined above may count toward the Contract Specific Goals.
The CPO will determine whether a firm is performing a commercially useful function by evaluating the amount of work subcontracted, whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the credit claimed for its performance of the work, industry practices, and other relevant factors.
A MBE or WBE does not perform a commercially useful function if its participation is only required to receive payments in order to obtain the appearance of MBE or WBE participation. The CPO may examine similar commercial transactions, particularly those in which MBEs or WBEs do not participate, to determine whether non MBE and non WBE firms perform the same function in the marketplace to make a determination.
Indications that a subcontractor is not performing a commercially useful function include, but are not limited to, labor shifting and equipment sharing or leasing arrangements with the prime contractor or a first tier subcontractor.
Only the value of the dollars paid to the MBE or WBE firm for work that it performs in its Area of Specialty in which it is certified counts toward the Contract Specific Goals, except as provided in MCC2-92-525(b)(2).
For maintenance, installation, repairs or inspection, or professional services, if the MBE or WBE performs the work itself: 100% of the value of work actually performed by the MBE's or WBE's own forces shall be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals, including the cost of supplies and materials purchased or equipment leased by the MBE or WBE from third parties or second tier subcontractors in order to perform its (sub)contract with its own forces (except supplies and equipment the MBE or WBE subcontractor purchases or leases from the prime contractor or its affiliate). 0% of the value of work at the project site that a MBE or WBE subcontracts to a non-certified firm counts toward the Contract Specific Goals.
If the MBE or WBE is a manufacturer: 100% of expenditures to a MBE or WBE manufacturer for items needed for the Contract shall be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals. A manufacturer is a firm that operates or maintains a factory or establishment that produces on the premises the materials or supplies obtained by the bidder or contractor.
If the MBE or WBE is a distributor or supplier: 60% of expenditures for materials and supplies purchased from a MBE or WBE that is certified as a regular dealer or supplier shall be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals.
If the MBE or WBE is a broker:
Zero percent (0%) of expenditures paid to brokers will be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals.
As defined above, Brokers provide no commercially useful function.
M/WDE Special Conditions for Commodities & Services 03 29.2019
g. If the MBE or WBE is a member of the joint venture contractor/bidder:
A joint venture may count the portion of the total dollar value of the contract equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the contract that the MBE or WBE performs with its own forces toward the Contract Specific Goals; or
If employees of this distinct joint venture entity perform the work then the value of the work may be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals at a rate equal to the MBE or WBE firm's percentage of participation in the joint venture as described in the Schedule B-
A joint venture may also count the dollar value of work subcontracted to other MBEs and WBEs.
h. If the MBE or WBE subcontracts out any of its work:
100% of the value of the work subcontracted to other MBEs or WBEs performing work in its Area of Specialty may be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals.
0% of the value of work that a MBE or WBE subcontracts to a non-certified firm counts toward the Contract Specific Goals (except as allowed by (c) above).
The fees or commissions charged for providing a bona fide service, such as professional, technical, consulting or managerial services or for providing bonds or insurance and assistance in the procurement of essential personnel, facilities, equipment, materials or supplies required for performance of the Contract, provided that the fee or commission is determined by the Chief Procurement Officer to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services.
The fees charged for delivery of materials and supplies required on a job site (but not the cost of the materials and supplies themselves) when the hauler, trucker, or delivery service is not also the manufacturer of or a regular dealer in the materials and supplies, provided that the fee is determined by the Chief Procurement Officer to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services.
The fees or commissions charged for providing any bonds or insurance, but not the cost of the premium itself, specifically required for the performance of the Contract, provided that the fee or commission is determined by the Chief Procurement Officer to be reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees customarily allowed for similar services.
1.5. Regulations Governing Reductions to or Waiver of MBE/WBE Goals
The following Regulations set forth the standards to be used in determining whether or not a reduction or waiver of the MBE/WBE commitment goals of a particular contract is appropriate. If a bidder determines that it is unable to meet the MBE and/or WBE Contract-Specific Goals on a City of Chicago contract, a written request for the reduction or waiver of the commitment must be included in the bid or proposal.
The written request for reduction or waiver from the commitment must be in the form of a signed petition for grant of relief from the MBE/WBE percentages submitted on the bidder's letterhead, and must demonstrate that all required efforts as set forth in this document were taken to secure eligible Minority and Women Business Enterprises to meet the commitments. The Chief Procurement Officer or designee shall determine whether the request for the reduction or waiver will be granted.
A bidder will be considered responsive to the terms and conditions of these Regulations if, at the time of bid, it submits a waiver request and all supporting documentation that adequately addresses the conditions for waiver of MBE/WBE goals, including proof of notification to assist agencies except:
• Bidders responding to Request for Proposals (RFPs) who have been identified as a short listed
candidate and/or a prospective awardee will be given a designated time allowance, but no more than
M/WBE Special Conditions for Commodities & Services 03 29.2019
fourteen (14) calendar days to submit to the Department of Procurement Services complete documentation that adequately addresses the conditions for waiver described herein; and
• Bidders responding to Request for Information and or Qualifications (RFI/RFQs) deemed by the Chief Procurement Officer or authorized designee to be the most responsive and responsible shall submit documentation that adequately addresses the conditions for waiver described herein during negotiations.
Failure to submit documentation sufficient to support the waiver request will cause the bid/proposal to be found non-responsive by the Chief Procurement Officer, and the bid/proposal will be rejected. In such cases the remedies to be taken by the Chief Procurement Officer, in his or her discretion, may include, but are not limited to, forfeiture of bid deposit; negotiating with the next lowest bidder; or re-advertising the bid/proposal. All bidders must submit all required documents at the time of bid opening to expedite the contract award.
1.5.1. Direct Participation
Each of the following elements must be present in order to determine whether or not such a reduction or waiver is appropriate.
a. The bidder has documented the unsuccessful solicitation for either subcontractors or joint
venture partners of at least 50% (or at least five when there are more than eleven certified firms in the commodity area) of the appropriate certified MBE/WBE firms to perform any direct work identified or related to the advertised bid/proposal. Documentation must include but is not necessarily limited to:
1. A detailed statement of efforts to identify and select portions of work
identified in the bid solicitation for subcontracting to certified MBE/WBE firms;
2. A listing of all MBE/WBE firms contacted that includes:
o Name, address, telephone number and email of MBE/WBE firms solicited;
o Date and time of contact;
o Method of contact (written, telephone, transmittal of facsimile documents, email, etc.)
3. Copies of letters or any other evidence of mailing that substantiates outreach
to MBE/WBE vendors that includes:
o Project identification and location;
o Classification/commodity of work items for which quotations were sought;
o Date, item and location for acceptance of subcontractor bid proposals;
o Detailed statement which summarizes direct negotiations with appropriate MBE/WBE firms for specific portions of the work and indicates why negotiations were unsuccessful;
o Affirmation that Good Faith Efforts have been demonstrated by:
choosing subcontracting opportunities likely to achieve MBE/WBE goals; and
not imposing any limiting conditions which were not mandatory for all subcontractors; and
M/WBE Special Conditions for Commodities & Services 03.29.2019
providing notice of subcontracting opportunities to M/WBE firms and assist agencies at least five (5) business days in advance of the initial bid due date; and
documented efforts or actual commitment to the indirect participation of MBE/WBE firms.
OR
b. Subcontractor participation will be deemed excessively costly when the MBE/WBE subcontractor
proposal exceeds the average price quoted by more than twenty percent (20%). In order to establish that a subcontractor's quote is excessively costly, the bidder must provide the following information:
A detailed statement of the work identified for MBE/WBE participation for which the bidder asserts the MBE/WBE quote(s) were excessively costly (in excess of 20% higher).
o A listing of all potential subcontractors contacted for a quotation on that work item;
o Prices quoted for the subcontract in question by all such potential subcontractors for that work item.
Other documentation which demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Chief Procurement Officer that the MBE/WBE proposals are excessively costly, even though not in excess of 20% higher than the average price quoted. This determination will be based on factors that include, but are not limited to the following:
o The City's estimate for the work under a specific subcontract;
o The bidder's own estimate for the work under the subcontract;
o An average of the bona fide prices quoted for the subcontract;
o Demonstrated increase in other contract costs as a result of subcontracting to the M/WBE or other firm.
Assist Agency Participation in wavier/reduction requests
Every waiver and/or reduction request must include evidence that the bidder has provided timely notice of the need for subcontractors to an appropriate association/assist agency representative of the MBE/WBE business community. This notice must be given at least five (5) business days in advance of the initial bid due date.
The notice requirement of this Section will be satisfied if a bidder contacts at least one of the associations on Attachment A to these Regulations when the prime contractor seeks a waiver or reduction in the utilization goals. Attachment B to these Regulations provides the letter format that a prime contractor may use. Proof of notification prior to bid submittal (e.g. certified mail receipt or facsimile transmittal receipt) will be required to be submitted with the bid for any bid/proposal to be deemed responsive. If deemed appropriate, the Contract Compliance Officer may contact the assist agency for verification of notification.
Impracticability
If the Chief Procurement Officer determines that a lesser MBE and/or WBE percentage standard is appropriate with respect to a particular contract subject to competitive bidding prior to the bid solicitations for such contract, bid specifications shall include a statement of such revised standard.
M/WBE Special Conditions for Commodities & Services 03.29 2019
The requirements set forth in these Regulations (this subsection 1.5 "Regulations Governing Reductions to or Waiver of MBE/WBE Goals") shall not apply where the Chief Procurement Officer determines prior to the bid solicitations that MBE/WBE subcontractor participation is impracticable.
This may occur whenever the Chief Procurement Officer determines that for reasons of time, need, industry practices or standards not previously known by the Chief Procurement Officer, or such other extreme circumstances as may be deemed appropriate, such a Waiver is in the best interests of the City. This determination may be made in connection with a particular contract, whether before the contract is let for bid, during the bid or award process, before or during negotiation of the contract, or during the performance of the contract.
For all notifications required to be made by bidders, in situations where the Chief Procurement Officer has determined that time is of the essence, documented telephone contact may be substituted for letter contact.
1.6. Procedure to Determine Bid Compliance
A bid may be rejected as non-responsive if it fails to submit one or more of the following with its bid demonstrating its Good Faith Efforts to meet the Contract Specific Goals by reaching out to MBEs and WBEs to perform work on the contract:
An MBE/WBE compliance plan demonstrating how the bidder plans to meet the Contract Specific Goals; and/or
A request for reduction or waiver of the Contract Specific Goals in accordance with Section 2-92-450 of the MCC.
In the case of a bid utilizing the "Bid Incentive to Encourage MBE and WBE Utilization" pursuant to MCC 2-92-525(b)(2), failure to submit an MBE/WBE compliance plan demonstrating how the bidder plans to meet the Contract Specific Goal to which the bidder has committed will not result in rejection of the bid, but the bidder may be found ineligible for the bid incentive.
Except as provided in MCC 2-92-525(b)(2), only compliance plans utilizing MBE and WBE firms that meet BOTH the Commercially Useful Function and Area of Specialty requirements will be counted toward the Contract Specific Goals.
The following Schedules and described documents constitute the bidder's MBE/WBE proposal, and must be submitted in accordance with the guidelines stated:
(1) Schedule C-l: Letter of Intent from MBE/WBE to Perform as Subcontractor, Supplier and/or Consultant.
The bidder must submit the appropriate Schedule C-l with the bid for each MBE and WBE included on the Schedule D-l. Suppliers must submit the Schedule C-l for Suppliers, first tier subcontractors must submit a Schedule C-l for Subcontractors to the Prime Contractor and second or lower tier subcontractors must submit a Schedule C-l for second tier Subcontractors. The City encourages subcontractors to utilize the electronic fillable format Schedule C-l, which is available at the Department of Procurement Services website, . Each Schedule C-l must be executed by each MBE and WBE and accurately detail the work to be performed by the MBE or WBE and the agreed upon rates/prices. Each Schedule C must also include a separate sheet as an attachment on which the MBE or WBE fully describes its proposed scope of work, including a description of the commercially useful function being performed by the MBE or WBE in its Area of Specialty. If a facsimile copy of the Schedule C-l has been submitted with the bid, an executed original Schedule C-l must be submitted by the bidder for each MBE and WBE included on the Schedule D-l within five business days after the date of the bid opening.
Failure to submit a completed Schedule C-l in accordance with this section shall entitle the City to deem the bid/proposal non-responsive and therefore reject the bid/proposal.
M/WBE Special Conditions for Commodities & Services 03 29.2019
Letters of Certification.
A copy of each proposed MBE/WBE firm's current Letter of Certification from the City of Chicago or Cook County Illinois, must be submitted with the bid/proposal. All Letters of Certification issued by the City of Chicago and Cook County include a statement of the MBE/WBE firm's Area of Specialty. The MBE/WBE firm's scope of work, as detailed by their Schedule C-l, must conform to their stated Area of Specialty. Letters of Certification for firms that the City or Cook County has found ineligible or has decertified will not be accepted.
Schedule B: Affidavit of Joint Venture, and Joint Venture Agreements (if applicable).
If the bidder's MBE/WBE proposal includes the participation of a MBE/WBE as joint venture on any tier (either as the bidder or as a subcontractor), the bidder must provide a copy of the joint venture agreement and a Schedule B along with all other requirements listed in Section 1.3, "Joint Ventures," above. In order to demonstrate the MBE/WBE partner's share in the ownership, control, management responsibilities, risks and profits of the joint venture, the proposed joint venture agreement must include specific details related to: (1) contributions of capital and equipment; (2) work responsibilities or other performance to be undertaken by the MBE/WBE; and (3) the commitment of management, supervisory and operative personnel employed by the MBE/WBE to be dedicated to the performance of the contract. The joint venture agreement must also clearly define each partner's authority to contractually obligate the joint venture and each partner's authority to expend joint venture funds (e.g., check signing authority).

Once the prime Contractor has reported payments made to each subcontractor, including zero / dollar amount payments, the subcontractor will receive an email and or fax notification requesting them to log into the system and confirm payments received. All monthly confirmations must be reported on or before the 20th day of each month.

The Contractor shall maintain records of all relevant data with respect to the utilization of MBEs and WBEs, retaining these records for a period of at least five years after project closeout. Full access to these records shall be granted to City, federal or state authorities or other authorized persons.
1.8. Changes to Compliance Plan
1.8.1. Permissible Basis for Change Required
No changes to the Compliance Plan or contractual MBE and WBE commitments or substitution of MBE or WBE subcontractors may be made without the prior written approval of the Contract Compliance Officer. Unauthorized changes or substitutions, including performing the work designated for a subcontractor with the contractor's own forces, shall be a violation of these Special Conditions and a breach of the contract with the City, and may cause termination of the executed Contract for breach, and/or subject the bidder or contractor to contract remedies or other sanctions. The facts supporting the request for changes must not have been known nor reasonably could have been known by the parties prior to entering into the subcontract. Bid shopping is prohibited. The bidder or contractor must negotiate with the subcontractor to resolve the problem. If requested by either party, the Department of Procurement Services shall facilitate such a meeting. Where there has been a mistake or disagreement about the scope of work, the MBE or WBE can be substituted only where an agreement cannot be reached for a reasonable price for the correct scope of work.
M/WBE Special Conditions for Commodities & Services 03 29.2019
Substitutions of a MBE or WBE subcontractor shall be permitted only on the following basis:
Unavailability after receipt of reasonable notice to proceed;
Failure of performance;
Financial incapacity;
Refusal by the subcontractor to honor the bid or proposal price or scope;
Mistake of fact or law about the elements of the scope of work of a solicitation where a reasonable price cannot be agreed;
Failure of the subcontractor to meet insurance, licensing or bonding requirements;
The subcontractor's withdrawal of its bid or proposal; or
De-certification of the subcontractor as a MBE or WBE (graduation from the MBE/WBE program does not constitute de-certification).
i) Termination of a Mentor Protege Agreement.
1.8.2. Procedure for Requesting Approval
If it becomes necessary to substitute a MBE or WBE or otherwise change the Compliance Plan, the procedure will be as follows:
The bidder or contractor must notify the Contract Compliance Officer and Chief Procurement Officer in writing of the request to substitute a MBE or WBE or otherwise change the Compliance Plan. The request must state specific reasons for the substitution or change. A letter from the MBE or WBE to be substituted or affected by the change stating that it cannot perform on the contract or that it agrees with the change in its scope of work must be submitted with the request.
The City will approve or deny a request for substitution or other change within 15 business days of receipt of the written request.
Where the bidder or contractor has established the basis for the substitution to the satisfaction of the Chief Procurement Officer, it must make Good Faith Efforts to meet the Contract Specific Goal by substituting a MBE or WBE subcontractor. Documentation of a replacement MBE or WBE, or of Good Faith Efforts, must meet the requirements in section 5. If the MBE or WBE Contract Specific Goal cannot be reached and Good Faith Efforts have been made, as determined by the Chief Procurement Officer, the bidder or contractor may substitute with a non-MBE or non-WBE.
If a bidder or contractor plans to hire a subcontractor for any scope of work that was not previously disclosed in the Compliance Plan, the bidder or contractor must obtain the approval of the Chief Procurement Officer to modify the Compliance Plan and must make Good Faith Efforts to ensure that MBEs or WBEs have a fair opportunity to bid on the new scope of work.
A new subcontract must be executed and submitted to the Contract Compliance Officer within five business days of the bidder's or contractor's receipt of City approval for the substitution or other change.
The City shall not be required to approve extra payment for escalated costs incurred by the contractor when a substitution of subcontractors becomes necessary to comply with MBE/WBE contract requirements.
1.9. Non-Compliance and Damages
Without limitation, the following shall constitute a material breach of this contract and entitle the City to declare a default, terminate the contract, and exercise those remedies provided for in the contract, at law or in equity: (1) failure to demonstrate Good Faith Efforts, except in the case of a contract where a bid incentive
M/WBE Special Conditions for Commodities & Services 03.29.2019
under MCC 2-92-525 was taken into consideration in the award; and (2) disqualification as a MBE or WBE of the contractor or any joint venture partner, subcontractor or supplier if its status as an MBE or WBE was a factor in the award of the contract and such status was misrepresented by the contractor.
Payments due to the contractor may be withheld until corrective action is taken.
Pursuant to MCC 2-92-445 or 2-92-740, as applicable, remedies or sanctions may include a penalty in the amount of the discrepancy between the amount of the commitment in the Compliance Plan, as such amount may be amended through change orders or otherwise over the term of the contract, and the amount paid to MBEs or WBEs, and disqualification from contracting or subcontracting on additional City contracts for up to three years. The consequences provided herein shall be in addition to any other criminal or civil liability to which such entities may be subject.
The contractor shall have the right to protest the final determination of non-compliance and the imposition of any penalty by the Chief Procurement Officer pursuant to MCC 2-92-445 or 2-92-740, within 15 business days of the final determination.
In the case of a in the case of a contract for which a bid incentive under MCC 2-92-525 was taken into consideration in the award, any contractor that has failed to retain the percentage of MBE or WBE subcontractor committed to in order for the bid incentive to be allocated will be fined an amount equal to three times the amount of the bid incentive allocated, unless the contractor can demonstrate that due to circumstances beyond the contractor's control, the contractor for good cause was unable to retain the percentage of MBE or WBE subcontractors throughout the duration of the contract period.
1.10. Arbitration
In the event a contractor has not complied with the contractual MBE/WBE percentages in its Schedule D, underutilization of MBEs/WBEs shall entitle the affected MBE/WBE to recover from the contractor damages suffered by such entity as a result of being underutilized; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to the extent such underutilization occurs pursuant to a waiver or substitution approved by the City. The Ordinance and contracts subject thereto provide that any disputes between the contractor and such affected MBEs/WBEs regarding damages shall be resolved by binding arbitration before an independent arbitrator other than the City, with reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, being recoverable by a prevailing MBE/WBE in accordance with these regulations. This provision is intended for the benefit of any MBE/WBE affected by underutilization and grants such entity specific third party beneficiary rights. Any rights conferred by this regulation are non-waivable and take precedence over any agreement to the contrary, including but not limited to those contained in a subcontract, suborder, or communicated orally between a contractor and a MBE/WBE.
An MBE/WBE desiring to arbitrate shall contact the contractor in writing to initiate the arbitrative process. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the affected parties subject to the limitation contained in the last sentence of the previous paragraph, within ten (10) calendar days of the contractor receiving notification of the intent to arbitrate from the MBE/WBE the above-described disputes shall be arbitrated in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), a not-for-profit agency, with an office at 225 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 2527, Chicago, Illinois 60601-7601 [Phone: (312) 616-6560; Fax: (312) 819-0404]. All such arbitrations shall be initiated by the MBE/WBE filing a demand for arbitration with the AAA; shall be conducted by the AAA; and held in Chicago, Illinois.
All arbitration fees are to be paid pro rata by the parties, however, that the arbitrator is authorized to award reasonable expenses, including attorney and arbitrator fees, as damages to a prevailing MBE/WBE.
The MBE/WBE must send the City a copy of the Demand for Arbitration within ten (10) calendar days after it is filed with the AAA. The MBE/WBE also must send the City a copy of the decision of the arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days of receiving such decision.
