The contractor shall in all classifications including trainees on
any contracted project with the Township of Lakewood have a working
affirmative action plan. No contractor having traditionally deprived
employees in all classifications of his work force of less than a
reasonable percentage shall receive a contract from the Township of
Lakewood, unless his affirmative action plan shall actualize this
goal at 50% completion of contracted projects of over 60 days. However,
in no instance, shall the work force be comprised of less than 30%
of individuals traditionally classified as deprived, if such individuals
have the necessary skills and are able and willing to work.
c.
The contractor shall, in all solicitations or advertisements for
employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all
applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard
to race, color, religion, sex, ancestry or national origin.
d.
The contractor shall send to each labor union or representative of
workers with which they have a collective bargaining agreement or
other contract or understanding, a notice advising the labor union
or workers' representative of the contractors' commitments under the
Equal Employment Opportunity Ordinance of the Township of Lakewood
and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available
to employees and applicants for employment.
e.
It shall be no excuse for noncompliance that the union, with which
the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement providing for
exclusive referral, failed to refer traditionally deprived persons.
f.
The contractors shall furnish all information and reports required
by the Township pursuant to paragraphs a through j inclusive, and
shall permit inspection of their books and records for purpose of
investigation to ascertain compliance with the program.
g.
The contractors shall file and shall cause their subcontractors,
if any, to file compliance reports with the Township of Lakewood in
the form and to extent prescribed by the Township. Compliance reports
filed at such times as directed shall contain information as to the
employment practices, policy, programs and statistics of the contractor

noncompliance, all contract payments shall be withheld and, if it
is determined after opportunity for hearing on the record, that the
contractor or subcontractor has failed to comply with any portion
of the programs as herein stated and described, that finding shall
subject the offending party to any or all of the following penalties:
1.
Continued withholding of all future payments under the public contract
to the contractor in violation, until it shall be determined that

and shall carry out the policies of the program as herein outlined.

or the threat of substantial or material violation of the compliance
procedure or that which may be provided for by the contract, appropriate
proceedings may be brought to enforce those provisions.
[1971 Code § 2-29.5]

opportunity clause. Reports required herein shall be submitted in

or not the apparent low responsible bidder has complied with the policy
of the ordinance set out in its various sections, and shall submit
the findings and recommendations thereon to the contracting agency
receiving bids, or other agencies he may deem appropriate.
[1971 Code § 2-29.7]

reports shall include such information as to the employment practices
