EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
In the event of the contractor's non-compliance with the
				  provisions of this Equal Employment Opportunity Clause or the Act, the
				  contractor may be declared ineligible for future contracts or subcontracts with
				  the State of Illinois or any of its political subdivisions or municipal
				  corporations, and the contract may be cancelled or voided in whole or in part,
				  and other sanctions or penalties may be imposed or remedies invoked as provided
				  by statute or regulation. During the performance of this contract, the
				  contractor agrees as follows:
1) That he or she will not discriminate against
				  any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex,
				  sexual orientation, marital status, order of protection status, national origin
				  or ancestry, citizenship status, age, physical or mental disability unrelated
				  to ability, military status or an unfavorable discharge from military service;
				  and, further, that he or she will examine all job classifications to determine
				  if minority persons or women are underutilized and will take appropriate
				  affirmative action to rectify any underutilization.
2) That, if he or she hires additional employees
				  in order to perform this contract or any portion of this contract, he or she
				  will determine the availability (in accordance with this Part) of minorities
				  and women in the areas from which he or she may reasonably recruit and he or
				  she will hire for each job classification for which employees are hired in a
				  way that minorities and women are not underutilized.
3) That, in all solicitations or advertisements
				  for employees placed by him or her or on his or her behalf, he or she will
				  state that all applicants will be afforded equal opportunity without
				  discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
				  marital status, order of protection status, national origin or ancestry,
				  citizenship status, age, physical or mental disability unrelated to ability,
				  military status or an unfavorable discharge from military service.
4) That he or she will send to each labor
				  organization or representative of workers with which he or she has or is bound
				  by a collective bargaining or other agreement or understanding, a notice
				  advising the labor organization or representative of the contractor's
				  obligations under the Act and this Part. If any labor organization or
				  representative fails or refuses to cooperate with the contractor in his or her
				  efforts to comply with the Act and this Part, the contractor will promptly
				  notify the Department and the contracting agency and will recruit employees
				  from other sources when necessary to fulfill its obligations under the
				  contract.
5) That he or she will submit reports as required
				  by this Part, furnish all relevant information as may from time to time be
				  requested by the Department or the contracting agency, and in all respects
				  comply with the Act and this Part.
6) That he or she will permit access to all
				  relevant books, records, accounts and work sites by personnel of the
				  contracting agency and the Department for purposes of investigation to
				  ascertain compliance with the Act and the Department's Rules and
				  Regulations.
7) That he or she will include verbatim or by
				  reference the provisions of this clause in every subcontract awarded under
				  which any portion of the contract obligations are undertaken or assumed, so
				  that the provisions will be binding upon the subcontractor. In the same manner
				  as with other provisions of this contract, the contractor will be liable for
				  compliance with applicable provisions of this clause by subcontractors; and
				  further it will promptly notify the contracting agency and the Department in
				  the event any subcontractor fails or refuses to comply with the provisions. In
				  addition, the contractor will not utilize any subcontractor declared by the
				  Illinois Human Rights Commission to be ineligible for contracts or subcontracts
				  with the State of Illinois or any of its political subdivisions or municipal
				  corporations.
