Chapter 4-11. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY REQUIREMENTS IN CONTRACTS |
Section 4-1116. ENFORCEMENT
-
1116.1If the contractor does not comply with the equal opportunity clauses in a particular contract, including §§ 1103.2 through 1103.10 of this chapter, that contract may be cancelled in whole or in part, and the contractor may be declared by the Director or the Contracting Officer to be ineligible for further District of Columbia government contracts subject to applicable laws and regulations governing debarment.
1116.2If the contractor meets its goals or if the contractor can demonstrate that it has made every good faith effort to meet those goals, the contractor will be presumed to be in compliance with this chapter, and no formal sanctions shall be instituted unless the Director otherwise determines that the contractor is not providing equal employment opportunity.
1116.3When the Director proceeds with a formal hearing, he or she has the burden of proving that the contractor has not met the requirements of this chapter, but the contractor’s failure to meet its goals shall shift to it the requirement to come forward with evidence to show that it has met the good faith requirements of this chapter.
