<br /> The Buy American Act provides that the Government give preference to domestic construction
<br /> material. The Contractor agrees that only domestic construction material will be used by the
<br /> Contractor, subcontractors, materialmen and supplies in the performance of this agreement,
<br /> except for foreign construction material, if any, listed in this agreement.
<br /> Components, used in this clause, means those articles, materials, and supplies incorporated
<br /> directly into construction materials. Construction material, as used in this clause, means an
<br /> article, material or supply brought to the construction site for incorporation into the building
<br /> or work. Construction material also includes an item brought to the site pre-assembled from
<br /> articles, materials or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as fire alarm
<br /> systems, which are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and which are
<br /> produced as a complete system, shall be evaluated as a single and distinct construction
<br /> material regardless of when or how the individual parts or component of such systems are
<br /> delivered to the construction site. Domestic construction material, as used in this clause
<br /> means (a) an unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States,
<br /> or (b) a construction material manufactured in the United States, if the cost of its components
<br /> mined produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of eh cost of all its
<br /> components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind as the construction
<br /> materials determined by the Principle Representative or designee not to be mined, produced
<br /> or manufactured in the .United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial
<br /> quantities of a satisfactory quality, shall be treated as domestic.
<br /> Article 15. LABOR AND WAGES
<br /> Title 8-17-101, C.R.S., as amended applies to this contract and states that eighty percent of the
<br /> laborers employed on each project must be Colorado labor. "Colorado labor" means any person who
<br /> is a resident of the State of Colorado at the time of employment, without discrimination as to race,
<br /> color, creed, sex, age or religion."
<br /> The rate of wages to be paid for all laborers and mechanics shall be in accordance with the laws of
<br /> Colorado. The Davis-Bacon Act does not apply.
<br /> .The Contractor shall at all times enforce strict discipline and good order among his employees, and
<br /> shall not employ on the work any unfit person or anyone not skilled in the work assigned to him.
<br /> Article 16. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
<br /> The Contractor agrees to comply with the letter and spirit of the Colorado Antidiscrimination Act of
<br /> 1957, as amended, and other applicable law respecting discrimination and unfair employment practices
<br /> (24-34-402 CRS 1973, as amended), and as required by Executive Order, Equal Opportunity and
<br /> Affirmative Action, dated April 16, 1975.
<br /> During the performance of this Contract, the Contractor agrees as follows:
<br /> (1) The Contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because
<br /> of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, martial status, religion, ancestry, mental or physical
<br /> handicap or age. The Contractor will take affirmative action to insure that applicants are
<br /> employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to the above
<br /> mentioned characteristics. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
<br /> employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising; lay-offs
<br /> or terminations; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training,
<br /> including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to
<br /> employees and applicants for employment notices setting forth provisions of this non-
<br /> discrimination clause.
<br /> (2) The Contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf
<br /> of the Contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment
<br /> without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, sex, martial status, religion, ancestry,
<br /> mental or physical handicap or age.
