   (b)   Every officer, employee, department, agency, contractor, subcontractor and licensee of the City, and every applicant for certification of eligibility for a City contract or program, has a duty to cooperate with the Director’s reasonable requests made pursuant to subsection (a), unless such materials are subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, and material prepared for litigation; provided, however, that any denial of such requests shall be made in writing and include the reasons for such denial.
