II.
The parties hereby agree to add the following provisions to the Lease. Any conflicting term, covenant, or condition in the Lease is hereby superseded.
A.
GENERAL CIVIL RIGHTS PROVISIONS
The Lessee agrees to comply with pertinent statutes, Executive Orders and such rules as are promulgated to ensure that no person shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability be excluded from participating in any activity conducted with or benefiting from Federal assistance. If the Lessee transfers its obligation to another, the transferee is obligated in the same manner as the Lessee.
This provision obligates the Lessee for the period during which the property is owned, used or possessed by the Lessee and the airport remains obligated to the Federal Aviation Administration. This provision is in addition to that required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
B.
COMPLIANCE WITH NONDISCRIMINATION REQUIREMENTS
During the performance of this contract, the Lessee, for itself, its assignees and successors in interest (hereinafter referred to as the “Lessee”), agrees as follows:
1. | Compliance with Regulations: The Lessee (hereinafter includes consultants) will comply with the Title VI List of Pertinent Nondiscrimination Acts and Authorities, as they may be amended from time to time, which arc herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract. |
2. | Nondiscrimination: The Lessee, with regard to the work performed by it during the contract, will not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, or national origin in the selection and retention of subcontractors, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment. The Lessee will not participate directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by the Nondiscrimination Acts and Authorities, including employment practices when the contract covers any activity, project, or program set forth in Appendix B of 49 CFR part 21. |
3. | Solicitations for Subcontracts, including Procurements of Materials and Equipment: In all solicitations, either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by the Lessee for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurements of materials, or leases of equipment, each potential subcontractor or supplier will be notified by the Lessee of the contractor’s obligations under this contract and the Nondiscrimination Acts and Authorities on the grounds of race, color, or national origin. |
4. | Information and Reports: The Lessee will provide all information and reports required by the Acts, the Regulations, and directives issued pursuant thereto and will permit access to its books, records, accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be determined by |
2
the sponsor or the Federal Aviation Administration to be pertinent to ascertain compliance with such Nondiscrimination Acts and Authorities and instructions. Where any information required of a contractor is in the exclusive possession of another who fails or refuses to furnish the information, the Lessee will so certify to the sponsor or the Federal Aviation Administration, as appropriate, and will set forth what efforts it has made to obtain the information. |
5. | Sanctions for Noncompliance: In the event of a Lessee’s noncompliance with the non-discrimination provisions of this contract, the sponsor will impose such contract sanctions as it or the Federal Aviation Administration may determine to be appropriate, including but not limited to: |
a. | Withholding payments to the Lessee under the contract until the Lessee complies; and/or |
b. | Cancelling, terminating, or suspending a contract, in whole or in part. |
6. | Incorporation of Provisions: The Lessee will include the provisions of paragraphs one through six in every subcontract, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment, unless exempt by the Acts, the Regulations, and directives issued pursuant thereto. The Lessee will take action with respect to any subcontract or procurement as the sponsor or the Federal Aviation Administration may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for noncompliance. Provided, that if the Lessee becomes involved in, or is threatened with litigation by a subcontractor, or supplier because of such direction, the Lessee may request the sponsor to enter into any litigation to protect the interests of the sponsor. In addition, the Lessee may request the United States to enter into the litigation to protect the interests of the United States. |
C.
CLAUSES FOR TRANSFER OF REAL PROPERTY ACQUIRED OR
IMPROVED UNDER THE AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
A. | The Lessee for itself/himself/herself, its/his/her heirs, personal representatives, successors in interest, and assigns, as a part of the consideration hereof, does hereby covenant and agree as a covenant running with the land that: |
1. | In the event facilities are constructed, maintained, or otherwise operated on the property described in this lease for a purpose for which a Federal Aviation Administration activity, facility, or program is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits, the Lessee will maintain and operate such facilities and services in compliance with all requirements imposed by the Nondiscrimination Acts and Regulations listed in the Pertinent List of Nondiscrimination Authorities (as may be amended) such that no person on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, will be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination in the use of said facilities. |
B. | With respect to contracts and leases, in the event of breach of any of the above Nondiscrimination covenants, Lafayette Airport Commission will have the right to terminate the contract or lease and to enter, re-enter, and repossess said lands and facilities thereon, and hold the same as if the contract or lease had never been made or issued. |
