the State of Illinois or any of its political subdivisions or municipal
corporations, and the contract shall be cancelled or voided in whole or in
part, and such other sanctions or penalties shall be imposed or remedies
invoked as provided by statute or regulation. During the performance of this
contract, the Bidder agrees as follows:
1)
That it will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin or
ancestry, age, physical or mental handicap unrelated to ability, or an
unfavorable discharge from military service, and further that it will examine
all job classifications to determine if minority persons or women are

under-utilization.

hires additional employees in order to perform this contract or any portion
thereof, it will determine the availability (in accordance with the
Department's Rules) of minorities and women in the area(s) from which it may
reasonably recruit and it will hire for each job classification for which
employees are hired in such a way that minorities and women are not
under-utilized.
3) That, in all
solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by it or on its behalf, it
will state that all applicants will be afforded equal opportunity without
discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national
origin or ancestry, age, physical or mental handicap unrelated to ability, or
an unfavorable discharge from military service.

organization or representative of workers with which it has or is bound by a
collective bargaining or other agreement or understanding, a notice advising
such labor organization or representative of the Bidder's obligations under the
Illinois Human Rights Act and the Department's Rules. If any such labor
organization or representative fails or refuses to cooperate with the Bidder in
its efforts to comply with such Act and Rules, the Bidder will promptly so
notify the Department and the Agency and will recruit employees from other
sources when necessary to fulfill its obligations thereunder.
5) That it will submit reports as required by
the Department's Rules, furnish all relevant information as may from time to

reference the provision of this clause in every subcontract it awards under
which any portion of the contract obligations are undertaken or assumed, so
that such provisions will be binding upon such subcontractor. In the same
manner as with other provisions of this contract, the Bidder will be liable for
compliance with applicable provisions of this clause by such subcontractors;
and further it will promptly notify the Agency and the Department in the event
any subcontractor fails or refuses to comply therewith. In addition, the
