SP-2. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY POLICY
Federal and State laws prohibit discrimination against any employee or applicant for

and physical or mental handicap unrelated to ability. They further require elimination of

PG-1

A. The Contractor agrees to post Equal Employment Opportunity notices in
conspicuous places (e.g. at company headquarters, around time clocks,
at work sites, on company bulletin boards, in lunchrooms) available to
employees and applicants for employment.
B. The Contractor shall in all solicitation or advertisements for employees to
be hired under this contract state that all qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed,
religion, sex, national origin, political affiliation, or age.
SP-3. IL LAWS RELATING TO PREVAILING WAGE, CERTIFIED MONTHLY PAYROLL &
PREFERENCE TO ILLINOIS CITIZENS
A. Illinois Prevailing Wage Act: This contract calls for the construction of a
"public work," within the meaning of the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, 820
ILCS 130/.01 et seq. ("the Act"); and as amended, except where a prevailing
wage violates a federal law, order, or ruling, the rate conforming to the federal
law, order, or ruling shall govern. The Act requires contractors and
subcontractors to pay laborers, workers and mechanics performing services
on public works projects no less than the "prevailing rate of wages" (hourly
cash wages plus fringe benefits) in the county where the work is performed.
For information regarding current prevailing wage rates, please refer to the
Illinois Department of Labor's website at:
https://www.illinois.gov/idol/Laws-Rules/CONMED/Pages/Rates.aspx
All contractors and subcontractors rendering services under this contract
must comply with all requirements of the Act, including but not limited to, all
wage, notice and record keeping duties. The scale of wages shall be posted
by the Contractor in prominent and easily accessible places at the site of
work. If the Department of Labor revises the wage rates, the revised rate
shall apply to this contract and the contractor or subcontractor will not be
allowed additional compensation on account of said revisions. Contractor
shall continually check the scale of wages during the work and update the
posted documents as needed. The monitoring and posting of rates by
Contractor shall be included in the contract and not measured or paid
separately.
B. The Contractor and each subcontractor shall "Make and keep, for a period of
not less than 5 years from the date of the last payment on a contract or
subcontract for public works, records of all laborers, mechanics, and other
workers employed by them on the project; the records shall include each
worker's name, address, telephone number when available, last four digits of
the worker's social security number, gender, race, ethnicity, veteran status,
classification or classifications, skill level (such as apprentice or journeyman),
PG-2

the worker's gross and net wages paid in each pay period, the number of
hours worked each day, and the starting and ending times of work each day,
the worker's hourly wage rate, the worker's hourly overtime wage rate, the
worker's hourly fringe benefit rates, the name and address of each fringe
benefit fund, the plan sponsor of each fringe benefit, if applicable, and the
plan administrator of each fringe benefit, if applicable."
The Illinois Department of Labor maintains a database for certified payrolls as
created under Section 5.1 of the Act. All Contractor and Subcontractor
certified payrolls shall be submitted to the Illinois Department of Labor, except
for projects done by State agencies that opt to have contractors submit
certified payrolls directly to that State agency. A State agency that opts to
directly receive certified payrolls must submit the required information in a
specified electronic format to the Department of Labor no later than 10 days
after the certified payroll was filed with the State agency.
Per Section 5.1 of the Act, the Department of Labor rather than the public
body in charge of the project shall keep the records and maintain the
database. The records submitted for workers shall be considered public
records, except an employee's address, telephone number, social security
number, race, ethnicity, and gender, and made available in accordance with
the Freedom of Information Act. The public body shall accept any
reasonable submissions by the contractor that meet the requirements of the
Act in the interim period. A contractor, subcontractor, or public body may
retain records required under the Act in paper or electronic format.
Per Section 5.1 of the Act, and prior to the City making payment, "all
contractors and subcontractors rendering services under this contract shall
no later than the fifteenth day of each calendar month" file the required
certified payroll using Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) Forms IL452CM01
and IL452CM02 for the work completed in the immediately preceding month
with the public body in charge of the project. Certified payroll using IDOL
forms must be filed for only those calendar months during which construction
has occurred. The certified payroll shall consist of a complete copy of the
records identified above, but may exclude the starting and ending times of
work each day.
The certified payroll shall be accompanied by a statement signed by the
Contractor or subcontractor or an officer, employee, or agent of the
Contractor or subcontractor which avers that: (i) he or she has examined the
certified payroll records required to be submitted by the Act and such records
are true and accurate; (ii) the hourly rate paid to each worker is not less than
the general prevailing rate of hourly wages required by this Act; and (iii) the
contractor or subcontractor is aware that filing a certified payroll that he or
she knows to be false is a Class A misdemeanor. The submittal of and all
