Prevailing Wage Rates
In the performance of the work, Licensee is fully responsible for paying not less than the prevailing rate of wages as determined by the Illinois Department of Labor, which must be paid to all laborers, mechanics, and other workers performing work under this License Agreement.
 
 
Licensee's attention is called to the generally prevailing hourly rate of wages, as determined by the Illinois Department of Labor, which are incorporated into the License Agreement and set forth in Attachment 8-A. These wage rates are also the prevailing wage rates for the City of Chicago, as determined by the Department as of the date of execution of this License Agreement.
The wage rates set forth in this License Agreement were the rates in effect at the time this License Agreement was executed. Ifthe Illinois Department of Labor revises the prevailing rate of hourly wages to be paid for the work before completion of the project, the revised rate applies to this License Agreement from the effective date of the revision, but the revision does not entitle Licensee to any increased compensation under the terms of this License Agreement.
 
As a condition of making payment to Licensee, the City may require Licensee to submit an affidavit to the effect that not less than the prevailing hourly wage rate is being paid to laborers, mechanics, and other workers employed under this License Agreement in accordance with Illinois law.
Chicago Residency Requirements .

  1. "Actual residents of the City of Chicago" means persons domiciled within the City. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment
  2. Licensee may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans as provided for in Section 2-920-330 in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer ofthe City of Chicago ("Chief Procurement Officer").

record of residence.

  1. Good faith efforts on Licensee's part to provide utilization of actual Chicago residents (but not sufficient for the granting of a waiver request as provided for in the standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer) does not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
  2. When the work is completed, ifthe City has determined that Licensee failed to fulfill the requirements of this section concerning worker hours performed by actual Chicago Residents or failed to report in the manner as indicated above, the City will be damaged in that it thereby failed to provide the benefit of demonstrable employment to Chicagoans to the degree stipulated in this section-Therefore, in such a case of noncompliance, Licensee must pay to the City 1 /20th of 1%, 0.0005, ofthe approved Yearly License Fee for this License Agreement to the City in payment for each percentage of shortfalls 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. I he willful falsification of statements in the certification of payroll data may subject Licensee or Subcontractors or employee to prosecution.
Nothing provided in this section may be construed to be a limitation upon the "Notice of Requirements For Affirmative Action To Ensure Equal Employment. Opportunity, Executive Order 11246" and "Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246" or other affirmative action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this License Agreement. Licensee must include this provision in all subcontracts.

The bond must cover the warranty period required by the City.
In case of Licensee's neglect, failure, or refusal to provide satisfactory sureties when so directed within 10 days after such notification, the Commissioner may declare this License Agreement forfeit, but such forfeiture will not release Licensee or Licensee's surety or sureties from any liability that may have accrued before the date of the forfeiture.
If at any time the surety or sureties, or any one of them, upon the bond become insolvent, or are, in the sole opinion of the City, unsatisfactoiy, or unable to respond to damages in case of liability on such'
 
 
bond, the Commissioner will notify Licensee and direct that Licensee furnish a bond issued by satisfactory surety or sureties forthwith.

Commissioner (when such prior approval is permissible by law), winch approval the Commissioner will not unreasonably withhold.
  1. Default by Wendella Sightseeing Company, Inc. under any other agreement either entity or both entities may presently have or may enter into with the City for the duration of this License Agreement. Wendella Sightseeing Company, Inc. acknowledges that in the event of a
 
 
default under this License Agreement the City may also declare a default under any other agreements.
 
(e) Licensee's violation of City ordinance(s) unrelated to performance under the License Agreement such that, in the opinion ofthe Commissioner, it indicates a willful or reckless disregard for City laws and regulations.
 
8.2 Remedies
(a) Notices. The occurrence of any event of default permits the City, at the City's sole option, to declare Licensee in default. The Commissioner may in his sole discretion give Licensee an opportunity to cure the default within a certain period of time, which period of time must not exceed 30 days unless extended by the Commissioner. Whether to declare Licensee in default is within the sole discretion of the Commissioner and neither that decision nor the factual basis for it is subject to review or challenge under the Disputes provision of this License Agreemerit.
 
The Commissioner will give Licensee written notice ofthe default, either in the form of a cure notice ("Cure Notice"), or, if no opportunity to cure will be granted, a default notice ("Default Notice"). If the Commissioner gives a Default Notice, he will also indicate any present intent he may have to terminate this License Agreement, and the decision to terminate is final and effective upon giving the notice. If the Commissioner decides not to terminate, this decision will not preclude
 
him from later deciding to terminate the License Agreement in a later notice, which will be final and effective upon the giving of the notice or on the date set forth in the notice, whichever is later. The Commissioner may give a Default Notice if Licensee fails to effect a cure within the cure period given in a Cure Notice. When a Default Notice with intent to terminate is given as provided in this Section 8.2 and Article 10, Licensee must discontinue any Tour Services, unless otherwise directed in the notice.
  1. Exercise of Remedies. After giving a Default Notice, the City may invoke any or all ofthe following remedies:
    1. The right to terminate this License Agreement, in whole or in part;
    2. The right of specific performance, an injunction or any other appropriate equitable remedy;
    3. The right to money damages;
    4. The right to deem Licensee non-responsible in future contracts to be awarded by the City;
    5. The right to draw on the Letter of Credit.
  1. City's Reservation of Rights. If the Commissioner considers it to be in the City s best interests, he may elect not to declare default or to terminate this License Agreement. The parties acknowledge that this provision is solely for the benefit of the City and that if the Commissioner permits Licensee to continue to provide the Tour Services despite one or more events of default, Licensee is in no way relieved of any of its responsibilities, duties or obligations under this License Agreement, nor does the City waive or relinquish any of its rights.
  2. Non-Exclusivity of Remedies. The remedies under the terms of this License Agreement are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided, but each and every such remedy is cumulative and is in addition to any other remedies, existing now or later, at law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any event of default impairs any such right or power, nor is it a waiver ofany event of default nor acquiescence in it, and every such right and power may be exercised from tune to time and as often as the City considers expedient.
 
8.3     Early Termination
 
(a) In addition to termination under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this License Agreement, the Commissioner may tenninate this License Agreement, at any time by giving 15 days' prior written' notice to the Licensee, if, in the sole discretion of the Commissioner, the Commissioner determines
 
 
that such termination is in the best interest ofthe City. If the Commissioner elects to terminate this entire License Agreement, the Licensee must terminate all Tour Services within 10 business days after the issuance of such notice and remove Tour Boats from the Location.
  1. Payment to the City ofany sums remaining to be paid, under this License Agreement must be made by the Licensee on a pro-rata basis: calculation of the pro-rata share will be predicated upon the season during which the Licensee is licensed to operate on the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, as specified in Section 4.1 of this License Agreement.
  2. Any License fees and compensation previously received by the City will be retained by the City.
  3. Upon termination of this License Agreement the Licensee must at once surrender possession of the Location. If possession is not immediately surrendered, the City may take possession of the Location and expel or remove the Licensee and those claiming by, through, or under it, without civil or criminal liability.
  4. The Licensee must pay and discharge all costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees which might be incurred by the City in enforcing the terms and conditions of this License Agreement.
  5. Licensee must include in its contracts with Subcontractors an early termination provision in form and substance equivalent to this early termination provision to prevent claims against the City arising from termination of subcontracts after the early termination. Licensee will not be entitled to make any early termination claims against the City resulting from any Subcontractor's claims against Licensee or the City.
  6. If the City's election to terminate this License Agreement for default under-Sections 8.1 and 8.2 is determined in a court of competent jurisdiction to have been wrongful, then in that case the termination is to be considered to be an early termination under this Section 8.3.
 
8.4 Suspension
 
The City may at any time request that Licensee suspend its Services, or any part of them, by giving 15 days prior written notice to Licensee or upon informal oral, or even no notice, in the event of emergency. Licensee must promptly resume its performance of the Services under the same terms and conditions as stated in this License Agreement upon written notice by the Commissioner and such equitable extension of time as may bemutually agreed upon by the Commissioner and Licensee when necessary for continuation or completion of Tour Services. The City will not be liable for any additional costs or expenses actually incurred by Licensee as a result of recommencing the Tour Services.
 
 
No suspension of this License Agreement is permitted in the aggregate to exceed a period of 45 days within any one year of tins License Agreement. Ifthe total number of days of suspension exceeds 45 days, Licensee by written notice to the City may treat the suspension as an early terrnination of this License Agreement under Section 8.3.

basis for it is subject to review or challenge under the Disputes provision of this License Agreement.
 
The Commissioner will give Licensee written notice ofthe default, either in the form of a cure notice ("Cure Notice"), or, if no Opportunity to cure will be granted, a default notice ("Default Notice"). If the Commissioner gives a Default Notice, he will also indicate any present intent he may have to terminate this License Agreement, and the decision to terminate is final and effective upon giving the notice. If the Commissioner decides not to terminate, this decision will not preclude him from later deciding to terminate the License Agreement in a later notice, which will be final and effective upon the giving of the notice or on the date set forth in the notice, whichever is later. The Commissioner may give a Default Notice if Licensee fails to effect a cure within the cure period given in a Cure Notice.

  2. Non-Exclusivity of Remedies. The remedies under the terms of this License Agreement are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided, but each and every such remedy is cumulative and is in addition to any other remedies, existing now or later, at law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any event of default impairs any such right or power, nor is it a waiver of any event of default nor
 
 
acquiescence in it, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as the City considers expedient.

  2. If the City's election to terminate this License Agreement for default under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 is determined in a court of competent jurisdiction to have been wrongful, then in that case the termination is to be considered to be an early termination under this Section 8.3.

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. I he willful falsification of statements in the certification of payroll data may subject Licensee or Subcontractors or employee to prosecution.
Nothing provided in this section may be construed to be a limitation upon the "Notice of Requirements For Affirmative Action To Ensure Equal Employment. Opportunity, Executive Order 11246" and "Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246" or other affirmative action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this License Agreement.

  1. City's Reservation of Rights. If the Commissioner considers it to be in the City s best interests, he may elect not to declare default or to terminate this License Agreement. The parties acknowledge that this provision is solely for the benefit of the City and that if the Commissioner permits Licensee to continue to provide the Tour Services despite one or more events of default, Licensee is in no way relieved of any of its responsibilities, duties or obligations under this License Agreement, nor does the City waive or relinquish any of its rights.
  2. Non-Exclusivity of Remedies. The remedies under the terms of this License Agreement are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided, but each and every such remedy is cumulative and is in addition to any other remedies, existing now or later, at law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any event of default impairs any such right or power, nor is it a waiver ofany event of default nor acquiescence in it, and every such right and power may be exercised from tune to time and as often as the City considers expedient.
 
8.3     Early Termination
 
(a) In addition to termination under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 of this License Agreement, the Commissioner may tenninate this License Agreement, at any time by giving 15 days' prior written' notice to the Licensee, if, in the sole discretion of the Commissioner, the Commissioner determines
 
 
that such termination is in the best interest ofthe City. If the Commissioner elects to terminate this entire License Agreement, the Licensee must terminate all Tour Services within 10 business days after the issuance of such notice and remove Tour Boats from the Location.
  1. Payment to the City ofany sums remaining to be paid, under this License Agreement must be made by the Licensee on a pro-rata basis: calculation of the pro-rata share will be predicated upon the season during which the Licensee is licensed to operate on the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, as specified in Section 4.1 of this License Agreement.
  2. Any License fees and compensation previously received by the City will be retained by the City.
  3. Upon termination of this License Agreement the Licensee must at once surrender possession of the Location. If possession is not immediately surrendered, the City may take possession of the Location and expel or remove the Licensee and those claiming by, through, or under it, without civil or criminal liability.
  4. The Licensee must pay and discharge all costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees which might be incurred by the City in enforcing the terms and conditions of this License Agreement.
  5. Licensee must include in its contracts with Subcontractors an early termination provision in form and substance equivalent to this early termination provision to prevent claims against the City arising from termination of subcontracts after the early termination. Licensee will not be entitled to make any early termination claims against the City resulting from any Subcontractor's claims against Licensee or the City.
  6. If the City's election to terminate this License Agreement for default under-Sections 8.1 and 8.2 is determined in a court of competent jurisdiction to have been wrongful, then in that case the termination is to be considered to be an early termination under this Section 8.3.
 
8.4 Suspension
 
The City may at any time request that Licensee suspend its Services, or any part of them, by giving 15 days prior written notice to Licensee or upon informal oral, or even no notice, in the event of emergency. Licensee must promptly resume its performance of the Services under the same terms and conditions as stated in this License Agreement upon written notice by the Commissioner and such equitable extension of time as may bemutually agreed upon by the Commissioner and Licensee when necessary for continuation or completion of Tour Services.

No suspension of this License Agreement is permitted in the aggregate to exceed a period of 45 days within any one year of tins License Agreement. Ifthe total number of days of suspension exceeds 45 days, Licensee by written notice to the City may treat the suspension as an early terrnination of this License Agreement under Section 8.3.
