All notices to prospective bidders published on behalf of the city must include as a part of the contract specifications that each bidder will be required to comply with Chapter 15B, “Equal Employment Opportunity Contract Compliance,” of the Dallas City Code, as amended. (Ord. Nos. 14486; 20989)
(a) If a contractor fails to cooperate in reaching a mutually satisfactory solution to any equal employment problem or to implement a contract compliance agreement previously made, the city manager shall review the case to determine whether:
(1) further efforts or alternative approaches are desirable; or
(2) either of the penalties set forth in Section 15B-3(6) is appropriate to the case.
(b) If the city manager determines that the contractor has violated or failed to comply with any requirement of the equal employment opportunity clause of the contract, after affording the contractor a reasonable time to correct the situation and where negotiations have been of no avail, the city manager shall make a finding under Subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section and shall transmit that finding and a recommendation to the city council. (Ord. Nos. 14486; 20989)
(a) Upon receiving the recommendation of the city manager, the city council shall, within 30 days, set a hearing to consider the recommendation, at which hearing the contractor will be given an opportunity to be heard. The city council has authority either to find in favor of the contractor, or if the city council determines that the contractor has violated or failed to comply with any requirement of the equal employment opportunity clause of the contract, the city council may do either or both of the following:
(1) Cancel, terminate, or suspend the contract in whole or in part.
(2) Declare the contractor ineligible for further city contracts until the contractor is determined to be in compliance.
(b) The decision of the city council is final. (Ord. Nos. 14486; 20989)
