  1. Neither the Developer nor any Employer shall discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment based upon race, religion, color, sex, national origin or ancestry, age, handicap or disability, sexual orientation, military discharge status, marital status, parental status or source of income as defined in the City of Chicago Human Rights Ordinance, Section 2-160-010 et seq. of the Municipal Code of Chicago, as amended from time to time (the "Human Rights Ordinance").

The Developer and each Employer agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided by the City setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. In addition, the Developer and each Employer, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees, shall state that all qualified applicants shall receive consideration for employment without discrimination based upon the foregoing grounds.
  2. To the greatest extent feasible, the Developer and each Employer shall present opportunities for training and employment of low and moderate income residents
 
22
 
 
of the City, and provide that contracts for work in connection with the construction of the Project be awarded to business concerns which are located in or owned in substantial part by persons residing in, the City.
  1. The Developer and each Employer shall comply with all federal, state and local equal employment and affirmative action statutes, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Human Rights Ordinance and the Illinois Human Rights Act, 775 ILCS 5/1-101 et seq. (1993), both as amended from time to time, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
  2. The Developer, in order to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this Section 23.1, shall cooperate with and promptly and accurately respond to inquiries by the City, which has the responsibility to observe and report compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations of federal, state and municipal agencies.
  3. The Developer and each Employer shall include the foregoing provisions of subparagraphs (a) through (d) in every contract entered into in connection with the construction of the Project, and shall require inclusion of these provisions in every subcontract entered into by any subcontractors, and every agreement with any affiliate operating on the Property, so that each such provision shall be binding upon each contractor, subcontractor or affiliate, as the case may be.
  4. Failure to comply with the employment obligations described in this Section 23.1 shall be a basis for the City to pursue remedies under the provisions of Section 19.
 
23.2   City Resident Employment Requirement.
  1. The Developer agrees, and shall contractually obligate each Employer to agree, that during the construction of the Project, the Developer and each Employer shall comply with the minimum percentage of total worker hours performed by actual residents of the City of Chicago as specified in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of Chicago (at least fifty percent); provided, however, that in addition to complying with this percentage, the Developer and each Employer shall be required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions.
  2. The Developer and the Employers may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans as provided for in Section 2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of Chicago in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the chief procurement officer of the City of Chicago.
  3. "Actual residents ofthe City of Chicago" shall mean persons domiciled within the Cily of Chicago. The domicile is an individual's one and only true, fixed and permanent home and principal establishment.
 
 
23
 
  1. The Developer and the Employers shall provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to ensure that actual Chicago residents are employed on the construction ofthe Project. The Developer and the Employers shall maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee's actual record of residence.
  2. The Developer and the Employers shall submit weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) to DPD in triplicate, which shall 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 Developer or Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee's name.
  3. The Developer and the Employers shall provide full access to their employment records to the chief procurement officer, DPD, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the inspector general, or any duly authorized representative thereof. The Developer and the Employers shall maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (3) years after the issuance ofthe Certificate of Completion.
  4. At the direction of DPD, the Developer and the Employers shall provide affidavits and other supporting documentation to verify or clarify an employee's actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.
  5. Good faith efforts on the part of the Developer and the Employers to provide work for 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) shall not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section 23.2 concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.
 
(i)      If the City determines that the Developer or an Employer failed to ensure the
fulfillment of the requirements of this Section 23.2 concerning the worker hours performed
by actual Chicago 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 23.2. If such non-compliance is not
remedied in accordance with the breach and cure provisions of Section 19.3, the parties
agree that 1/20 of 1 percent (.05%) of the aggregate hard construction costs set forth in the
Final Project Budget shall be surrendered by the Developer and for the Employers to the
City in payment for each percentage of shortfall toward the stipulated residency
requirement. Failure to report the residency of employees entirely and correctly shall
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 the Developer and/or the other Employers or
employees to prosecution.
 
(j) Nothing herein provided shall 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,
 
24
 
 
Executive Order 11246," or other affirmative action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this Agreement.

Case No 69 C 2145 (United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois). Among

Accordingly, Developer must follow its own hiring and contracting procedures, without being influenced by City employees. Any and all personnel provided by Developer under this Agreement are employees or subcontractors of Developer, not employees of the City of Chicago. This Agreement 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 Developer.

For purposes of this Agreement, a political organization 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.
  2. In the event of any communication to Developer by a City employee or City official in violation of paragraph (b) above, or advocating a violation of paragraph (c) above, Developer will, as soon as is reasonably practicable, report such communication to the Hiring Oversight Section of the City's Office of the Inspector General ("OIG Hiring Oversight"), and also to the head of the relevant City department utilizing services provided under this Agreement.
